5:10 多俾亚出去叫他说:「朋友!我父亲叫你。」他便进去,托彼特先向他请安;天使对他说:「祝你快乐!」托彼特回答说:「我这个眼睛失明,看不见天日的人,常躺在黑暗之中,象永远看不见光明的死人一样,还有什么快乐呢?我象是生活在死人中,只能听见人讲话,却看不见他们。」天使对他说:「放心!天主快要医好你。放心罢!」托彼特对他说「我的儿子多俾亚要到玛待去,你能领导他,与他同去吗?老兄我要给你报酬。」 天使回答说:「我可以与他同去,全条路程我都熟悉,我多次到过玛待,那里的平原山地我都去过,那里的一切道路,我都熟悉。」
When Raphael entered the house, Tobit greeted him first. Raphael said, "Hearty greetings to you!" Tobit replied: "What joy is left for me any more? Here I am, a blind man who cannot see God’s sunlight, but must remain in darkness, like the dead who no longer see the light! Though alive, I am among the dead. I can hear a man’s voice, but I cannot see him." Raphael said, "Take courage! God has healing in store for you; so take courage!" Tobit then said: "My son Tobiah wants to go to Media. Can you go with him to show him the way? I will of course pay you, brother." Raphael answered: "Yes, I can go with him, for I know all the routes. I have often traveled to Media and crossed all its plains and mountains; so I know every road well."
