Wycliffe - Tobit - 5

5:1  Thanne Tobie answeride to his fadir, and seide, Fadir, Y schal do alle thingis, which euer thou comaundidist to me;

5:2  but Y noot, hou Y schal gete this money; he knowith not me, and Y knowe not him; what tokyn schal Y yyue to hym? but nether Y knew ony tyme the weie, bi which me goith thidur.

5:3  Thanne his fadir answerid to hym, and seide, Sotheli Y haue this obligacioun at me, which the while thou schewist to him, he schal restore anoon the monei.

5:4  But go now, and enquere to thee sum feithful man, that schal go with thee for his hire saf, `the while Y lyue yit, that thou resseyue that monei.

5:5  Thanne Tobie yede out, and foond a yong oon stondynge, `schynynge, and gird, and as redi to go;

5:6  and he wiste not, that it was the angel of God. And he grette the yong oon, and seide, Of whennus han we thee, goode yonge man?

5:7  And he answeride, Of the sones of Israel. And Tobie seide to hym, Knowist thou the weie, that ledith in to the cuntrei of Medeis?

5:8  To whom he answeride, Y knowe, and Y haue go ofte alle the weies therof, and Y haue dwellid at Gabelus, youre brother, that dwellith in Rages, a citee of Medeis, which is set in `the hil of Echbathanis.

5:9  To whom Tobie seide, Y biseche, abide thou me, til Y telle these thingis to my fader.

5:10  Thanne Tobie entride, and telde alle these thingis to his fader; on which thingis the fader wondride, and preiede, that he wolde entre to him.

5:11  Therfor he entride, and grette Tobie, and seide, Ioie be euere to thee!

5:12  And Tobie seide, What maner ioie schal be to me, that sitte in derknessis, and se not `the liyt of heuene?

5:13  To whom the yong oon seide, Be thou of strong wit; it is in the nexte that thou be heelid of God.

5:14  Therfor Tobie seide to hym, Whether thou maist lede my sone to Gabelus in to Rages, the citee of Medeis, and whanne thou comest ayen, Y schal restore thi mede to thee?

5:15  And the aungel seide to hym, Y schal lede, and bringe ayen him hool to thee.

5:16  To whom Tobie answeride, Y preie thee, schewe to me, of what hows, ether of what lynage thou art?

5:17  To whom Raphael, the aungel, seide, Axist thou the kyn of the hirid man, ethir the hirid man hym silf, that schal go with thi sone?

5:18  But lest perauenture Y make thee douteful, Y am Azarie, the sone of grete Ananye.

5:19  And Tobie answeride, Thou art of greet kyn; but Y axe, that thou be not wrooth, that Y wolde knowe thi kyn.

5:20  Forsothe the aungel seide to hym, Y schal lede thi sone hool, and Y schal bring ayen to thee `thi sone hool.

5:21  Sotheli Tobie answeride, and seide, Wel `go ye, and the Lord be in youre weie, and his aungel go with you.

5:22  Thanne whanne alle thingis weren redi, that schulden be borun in the weie, Tobie made `farewel to his fadir and his modir; and `bothe yeden togidere.

5:23  And whanne thei weren goon forth, his modir bigan to wepe, and to seie, Thou hast take the staf of oure eelde, and hast sent awey fro vs;

5:24  `Y wolde thilke monei were neuere, `for which thou sentist him;

5:25  oure pouert sufficide to vs, that we schulden arette this richessis, that we sien oure sone.

5:26  And Tobie seide to hir, `Nyle thou wepe; oure sone schal come saaf, and he schal turne ayen saaf to vs, and thin iyen schulen se hym.

5:27  For Y bileue, that the good aungel of God goith with him, and he schal dispose wel alle thingis, that ben doon aboute hym, so that he turne ayen with ioie to vs.

5:28  At this vois his moder ceesside to wepe, and was stille.
