And she said to him, “Hold your peace. Don’t deceive me. My child has perished.” And she went out every day into the way by which they went, and ate no bread in the day-time, and didn’t stop bewailing her son Tobias for whole nights, until the fourteen days of the wedding feast were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, “Send me away, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.”
And he said to his daughter, “Honor your father-in-law and your mother-in-law. They are now your parents. Let me hear a good report of you. Then he kissed her. Edna said to Tobias, “May the Lord of heaven restore you, dear brother, and grant to me that I may see your children of my daughter Sarah, that I may rejoice before the Lord. Behold, I commit my daughter to you in special trust. Don’t cause her grief.
And Edna said to Tobias, Beloved brother, may the Lord of heaven restore you, and grant me to see your children by Sarah my daughter, that I may rejoice before the Lord. And behold, I commit my daughter to you in trust; do not grieve her. And Edna said to Tobias, My child and beloved brother, may the Lord restore you, and may I see your children while I live, and the children of Sarah my daughter, before I die. Before the Lord I commit my daughter to you in trust; do not grieve her all the days of your life. Go in peace, my child; from now on I am your mother, and Sarah is your sister. May we all prosper together all the days of our life. And she kissed them both, and sent them away in health.
After this Tobias departed, blessing God because he had prospered his journey, and he kept blessing Raguel and Edna his wife. And Tobias went away from Raguel in health and rejoicing, and blessing the Lord of heaven and earth, the King over all, because he had prospered his journey; and he said to him, May it be granted you to honor them all the days of their life.
