(1) In that day Tobit remembered the money which he had committed to Gabael in Rages of Media,	(1) Ἐν τῇ ἡµέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ ἐµνήσθη Τωβιτ περὶ τοῦ ἀργυρίου, οὗ παρέθετο Γαβαηλ ἐν Ῥάγοις τῆς Μηδίας

(2) And said with himself, I have wished for death; wherefore do I not call for my son Tobias that I may signify to him of the money before I die?	(2) καὶ εἶπεν ἐν ἑαυτῷ Ἐγὼ ᾐτησάµην θάνατον· τί οὐ καλῶ Τωβιαν τὸν υἱόν µου, ἵνα αὐτῷ ὑποδείξω πρὶν ἀποθανεῖν µε;

(3) And when he had called him, he said, My son, when I am dead, bury me; and despise not thy mother, but honour her all the days of thy life, and do that which shall please her, and grieve her not.	(3) καὶ καλέσας αὐτὸν εἶπεν Παιδίον, ἐὰν ἀποθάνω, θάψον µε· καὶ µὴ ὑπερίδῃς τὴν µητέρα σου, τίµα αὐτὴν πάσας τὰς ἡµέρας τῆς ζωῆς σου καὶ ποίει τὸ ἀρεστὸν αὐτῇ καὶ µὴ λυπήσῃς αὐτήν.

(4) Remember, my son, that she saw many dangers for thee, when thou wast in her womb: and when she is dead, bury her by me in one grave.	(4) µνήσθητι, παιδίον, ὅτι ποοὺς κινδύνους ἑόρακεν ἐπὶ σοὶ ἐν τῇ κοιλίᾳ· ὅταν ἀποθάνῃ, θάψον αὐτὴν παρ’ ἐµοὶ ἐν ἑνὶ τάφῳ.

(5) My son, be mindful of the Lord our God all thy days, and let not thy will be set to sin, or to transgress his commandments: do uprightly all thy life long, and follow not the ways of unrighteousness.
