Chap XII.
Old Tobias and his sonne offer the half of al the goodes which they had newly
receiued to Raphael, for his wages. 6. VVho then declareth to them that he
was sent from God to helpe them, 15. and that he is an Angel, 10. He
parteth away, and they render thankes to God.
1 Then Tobias called to him his sonne, and sayd to him:
What may we geue to this holie man, that is come with
thee.
2 Tobias answering, sayd to his father: Father what
reward shal we geue him? or what can be worthie of his benefittes?
-- --
3 He hath note led me and brought me agayne safe, he
notereceiued the money of Gabelus, he note caused me to haue my
wife, and the note euil spirit he chased from her, he note made ioy
vnto her parentes, my self he note deliuered from being deuouted
of the fish, note thee also he hath made to see the light of heauen,
and we are replenished with note al good things by him. What
can we geue him worthie for these things?
4 But I beseech
thee my father, that thou desire him, if perhaps he wil voutsafe
to take vnto him the one halfe of al thinges, which are
brought.
5 And they calling him, to wit the father and the
sonne, tooke him aside: & began to desire him that he would
voutsafe to accept the halfe part of al thinges, that they had
brought.
6 Then he sayd to them secretely: Blesse ye the
God of heauen, and before al that liue confesse to him, because
he hath done mercie with you.
7 For to hide the secrete
of a king is good: but to reueale & confesse the workes
of God is an honorable thing.
8 notePrayer is good with fasting
and almes, rather then to lay vp treasures of gold:
9 because
almes deliuereth from death, and that is it which purgeth
sinnes, and maketh to finde mercie and life euerlasting.
10 But
they that committe sinne and iniquitie, are enemies to their
owne soule.
11 I open therfore vnto you the truth, and I wil
not hide from you the secrete word.
12 When thou didst pray
with teares, and didst burie the dead and leaft thy dinner,
and didest hide the dead by day in thy house, and by night
didst burie them,09Q0193 I note offered thy prayer to our Lord.
13 And because thou wast acceptable to God, it was necessarie
that tentation should proue thee.
14 And now our Lord sent
me to cure thee, and to deliuer Sara thy sonnes wife from the
diuel.
15 For I am Raphael an Angel, one of the seuen, which
assist before our Lord.
16 And when they had heard these
thinges, they were trubled, & trembling fel vpon the ground
on their face.
17 And the Angel sayd to them: Peace be to you,
feare not.
18 For when I was with you, by the wil of God I was
so: blesse ye him, and sing to him.
19 I seemed indeede to eate
with you, and to drinke: but I vse an inuisible meate and
drinke, which can not be seene of men.
20 It is time therfore
that I returne to him, that sent me: but blesse ye God,
and tel al his maruelous workes.
21 And when he had sayd
these things, he was taken from their sight, and they could
see him no more.
22 Then prostrate for three houres vpon
their face, they blessed God: and rysing vp they told al his
maruelous workes.
