[1] Now when I had come home again, and my wife Anna was restored to me, and my son Tobias, in the feast of Pentecost, which is the holy feast of the seven weeks, there was a good dinner prepared for me, and I sat down to eat. [2] I saw abundance of meat, and I said to my son, “Go and bring whatever poor man you find of our kindred, who is mindful of the Lord. Behold, I wait for you.” [3] Then he came, and said, “Father, one of our race is strangled, and has been cast out in the marketplace.” [4] Before I had tasted anything, I sprang up, and took him up into a chamber until the sun had set. [5] Then I returned, washed myself, ate my bread in heaviness, [6] and remembered the prophecy of Amos, as he said,
†“Your feasts will be turned into mourning,
and all your mirth into lamentation. [7] So I wept: and when the sun had set, I went and dug a grave, and buried him. [8] My neighbors mocked me, and said, “He is no longer afraid to be put to death for this matter; and yet he fled away. Behold, he buries the dead again.” [9] The same night I returned from burying him, and slept by the wall of my courtyard, being polluted; and my face was uncovered. [10] I didn’t know that there were sparrows in the wall. My eyes were open and the sparrows dropped warm dung into my eyes, and white films came over my eyes. I went to the physicians, and they didn’t help me; but Achiacharus nourished me, until I went‡ into Elymais. [11] My wife Anna wove cloth in the women’s chambers, [12] and sent the work back to the owners. They on their part paid her wages, and also gave her a kid. [13] But when it came to my house, it began to cry, and I said to her, “Where did this kid come from? Is it stolen? Give it back to the owners; for it is not lawful to eat anything that is stolen.” [14] But she said, “It has been given to me for a gift more than the wages.”I didn’t believe her, and I asked her to return it to the owners; and I was ashamed of her.But she answered and said to me, “Where are your alms and your righteous deeds? Behold, you and all your works are known.”§

G846 [8] Καὶ G2532 οἱ G3588 πλησίον G4139 ἐπεγέλων λέγοντες G3004 Οὐκέτι G3765 φοβεῖται G5399 φονευθῆναι G5407 περὶ G4012 τοῦ G3588 πράγματος G4229 τούτου· G5127 καὶ G2532 ἀπέδρα, καὶ G2532 ἰδοὺ G2400 πάλιν G3825 θάπτει G2290 τοὺς G3588 νεκρούς. G3498 [9] Καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 αὐτῇ G846 τῇ G3588 νυκτὶ G3571 ἀνέλυσα G360 θάψας G2290 καὶ G2532 ἐκοιμήθην G2837 μεμιαμμένος G3392 παρὰ G3844 τὸν G3588 τοῖχον G5109 τῆς G3588 αὐλῆς, G833 καὶ G2532 τὸ G3588 πρόσωπόν G4383 μου G3450 ἀκάλυπτον ἦν· G2258 [10] καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ᾔδειν G1492 ὅτι G3754 στρουθία G4765 ἐν G1722 τῷ G3588 τοίχῳ G5109 ἐστίν, G2076 καὶ G2532 τῶν G3588 ὀφθαλμῶν G3788 μου G3450 ἀνεῳγότων G455 ἀφώδευσαν τὰ G3588 στρουθία G4765 θερμὸν εἰς G1519 τοὺς G3588 ὀφθαλμούς G3788 μου, G3450 καὶ G2532 ἐγενήθη G1096 λευκώματα εἰς G1519 τοὺς G3588 ὀφθαλμούς G3788 μου. G3450 Καὶ G2532 ἐπορεύθην G4198 πρὸς G4314 ἰατρούς, G2395 καὶ G2532 οὐκ G3756 ὠφέλησάν G5623 με· G3165 Αχιαχαρος δὲ G1161 ἔτρεφέν G5142 με, G3165 ἕως G2193 οὗ G3757 ἐπορεύθη G4198 εἰς G1519 τὴν G3588 Ἐλυμαίδα.
