CHAP. II.
1 Tobit calleth the faithfull to his table. 3 He leaueth the feast to burie the dead. 10 Howe hee became blinde. 13 His wife
laboureth for her liuing. 14 Shee reprocheth him bitterly.
1 Nowe when I was come home againe, and my
wife Anna was restored vnto mee with my
sonne Tobias, in the feast of Pentecoste, which is
the holy feast of the seuen weekes, there was a great
dinner prepared me, in þe; which I sate downe to eat.
2 noteAnd when I sawe abundance of meat, I sayde
to my sonne, Go, and bring what poore man soeuer
thou shalt finde of our brethren which doeth remember
God, and loe I will tarie for thee.
3 But hee came againe, and sayde, Father, one
of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the market
place.
4 noteThen before I had tasted any meate, I start
vp, and brought him into mine house vntill the going
downe of the sunne.
5 Then I returned and washed, & ate my meate
in heauinesse,
6 Remembring that prophecie of note Amos, which
had saide, Your solemne feastes shall be turned into
mourning, and your ioyes into wailing.
7 Therefore I wept, and after the going downe
of the sunne I went and made a graue and buried
him.
8 noteBut my neighbours mocked mee, and sayde,
Doeth he not feare, to die for this cause, who note fled
away, and yet, loe, he burieth the dead againe.
9 The same night also when I returned from
the buriall, and slept at the wall of mine house because
I was polluted, & hauing my face vncouered,
10 noteAnd I knewe not that sparrowes were in
the wall, and as mine eyes were open, the sparrowes
cast downe warme dongue into mine eyes, and
a whitenesse came in mine eyes, and I went to
the Phisitions, but they helped me not. Moreouer
Achiacharus did nourish me, vntill I went into
Helimais.
11 noteAnd my wife Anna did take womens works
to doe.
12 And when shee had sent them home to the
owners, they paied the wages, and gaue a kid.
13 Which when it was at mine house, & began
-- --
to bleate, I sayd vnto her, from whence is this kid?
is it not stollen? render it to the owners: note for it is
not lawfull to eate any thing that is stollen.
14 But shee sayde, It was giuen for a gift more
then the wages, but I did not beleeue, and bade
her to render it to the owners, and I did blush, because
of her. Furthermore she said, note where are thine
almes, and thy righteousnes? behold, they all nowe
appeare in thee.
