Chap. II.
note
Tobias to burie an Israelite that is slaine in the streete, leaueth his dinner and
ghestes. 10. Is made blind by Gods permission, for manifestation of his
patience. 19. His wife getteth her liuing by worke, 22. and for a scrupulous
word, reprocheth his sinceritie.
1 Bvt after these thinges, when there was a festiual day of
our Lord, and a good dinner was made in Tobias house,
2 he sayd to his sonne: Goe, and bring some of our tribe,
notethat feare God, to make merie with vs.
3 And when he had
gone, returning he tolde him, that one of the children of
Israel lay slayne in the streate. And he forthwith leaping vp
from his place at the table, leauing his dinner, came fasting to
the bodie:
4 and taking it vp caried it to his house secretely,
that when the sunne should be downe, he might warely burie
him.
5 And wh&ebar; he had hid the bodie, he eate bread with mourning
and tr&ebar;bling,
6 remembring that word, which our Lord
sayd by Amos the Prophet: Your festiual dayes shal be turned
into lamentation and mourning.
7 But when the sunne
was downe, he went, and buried him.
8 And al his neighbours
rebuked him, saying: Euen now thou wast commanded
to be slayne because of this matter, and thou didest scarce
-- --
escape the commandment of death, and note doest thou burie the
dead agayne?
9 But Tobias more fearing God, then the king,
in hast tooke the bodies of them that were slayne, and hid
them in his house, and at midnight buried them.
10 And it
happened that on a certayne day, being wearied with burying,
coming into his house he had cast himself downe by the
wal, and slept,
11 and as he was sleeping, hote dung out of the
swallowes nest fel vpon his eyes, and he was made blinde.
12 And this tentation therfore our Lord permitted to chance
vnto him, that an example might be geuen to posteritie of his
patience, as also of holie Iob.
13 For whereas he feared God
alwaies from his infancie, and kept his commandmentes, he
grudged not agaynst God for that the plague of blindnes had
chanced to him,
14 but continewed immoueable in the feare
of God, geuing thankes to God al the dayes of his life.
15 For
as the kinges insulted against blessed Iob: so his note parentes
and cosins derided his life, saying.
16 Where is thy hope, for
the which thou didest bestowe almes and burials?
17 But Tobias
rebuked them, saying: Speake not so:
18 because we are
the children of holie ones, and looke for that life, which God
wil geue to them, that neuer change their faith from him.
19 But Anna his wife went dayly to weauing worke, and she
brought the gaines of her handie labour, which she could
get.
20 Whereby it came to passe, that she receiuing a kid
of goates had brought it home:
21 the voice whereof bleating
when her husband had heard, he sayd: Take heed, lest
perhaps it be stollen, restore ye it to his owners, because it is
not lawful for vs either to eate anie thing of theft or to touch
it.
22 To these wordes his wife being angrie answered: Thy
hope is become vayne manifestly, and thine almes now haue
appeared.
23 And with these, and other such like wordes she
vpbrayded him.
