1NOw when I was come home againe, & my wife Anna was restored vnto me with my sonne Tobias, in the feast of Pentecoste, which is the holy feast of the seuen wekes, there was a great dinner prepared me, in the which I sate downe to eat. 2And when I sawe abundance of meat, I said to my sonne, Go, & bring what poore man soeuer thou shalt finde of our brethren which doth remember God, & lo I wil tary for thee. 3But he came againe, and said, Father, one of our nation is strangled, and is cast out in the market place. 4Then before I had tasted anie meat, I start vp, and broght him into mine house vntil the going downe of the sunne. 5Then I returned and washed, and ate my meat in heauines, 6Remembring that prophecie of Amos, which had said, your solemne feasts shalbe turned into mourning, & your ioyes into wailing. 7Therefore I wept, & after the going downe of the sunne I went & made a graue & buried him. 8But my neighbours mocked me, and said, Doeth he not feare, to dye for this cause, who fled away, and yet, lo, he buryeth the dead againe. 9The same night also when I returned from the buryal, & slept at the wall of mine house because I was polluted, & hauing my face vncouered, 10And I knewe not that sparowes were in the wall, & as mine eyes were open, the sparowes cast downe warme dongue into mine eyes, & a whitenes came in mine eies, & I went to the phisicians who helped me not. Moreouer Achiacharus did nourish me, vntil I went into Elimais. 11And my wife Anna did take womens workes to do. 12And when she had sent them home to the owners, thei paied the wages, & gaue a kid. 13Which when it was at mine house, and began to bleat, I said vnto her, From whence is this kid? is it not stollen? render it to the owners: for it is not lawful to eat anie thing that is stollen. 14But she said, It was giuen for a gifte more then the wages: but I did not beleue, & bade her to render it to the owners, & I did blush, because of her. Furthermore she said, Where are thine almes, & thy righteousnes? beholde, they all now appeare in thee.
