11:1 Toviyah returns home
11 After those things Toviyah also went his way, blessing God because he’d prospered his journey; and he blessed Re’uel and his wife Edna. Then he went on his way until they drew near to Nineveh. 2 Refael (Raphael) said to Toviyah, “Don’t you know, brother, how you left your father? 3 Let’s run forward before your wife, and prepare the house. 4 But bring the fish’s gallbladder with you.” So they went their way, and the dog went after them.
5 Hanah sat looking around towards the path for her son. 6 She saw him coming, and said to his father, “Listen, your son is coming with the man that went with him!”
7 Refael said, “I know, Toviyah, that your father will open his eyes. 8 Therefore anoint his eyes with the bile, and being pricked with it, he’ll rub, and will make the white films fall away. Then he’ll see you.”
9 Hanah ran to him, and fell onto the neck of her son, and said to him, “I’ve seen you, my child! I’m ready to die.” They both wept.
11:10 Tovi regains his sight
10 Tovi (Tobit) went towards the door and stumbled; but his son ran to him, 11 and took hold of his father. He rubbed the bile on his father’s eyes, saying, “Cheer up, my father.” 12 When his eyes began to hurt, he rubbed them. 13 Then the white films peeled away from the corners of his eyes; and he saw his son, and fell onto his neck.
14 He wept, and said, “Blessed are you, Oh God, and blessed is your name forever! Blessed are all your holy messengers! 15 Because you scourged, and had mercy on me. Listen, I see my son Toviyah (Tobias).” And his son went in rejoicing, and told his father the great things that’d happened to him in Maday (Media).
16 Tovi went out to meet his daughter-in-law at Nineveh’s gate, rejoicing and blessing God. Those who saw him go marvelled, because he’d received his sight. 17 Tovi gave thanks before them, because God had shown mercy on him. When Tovi came near to Sarah his daughter-in-law, he blessed her, saying, “Welcome, daughter! Blessed is God who’s brought you to us, and blessed are your father and your mother.” And there was joy among all his kindred who were at Nineveh. 18 Ahikar and Nasbas his brother’s son came. 19 Toviyah’ wedding feast was kept seven days with great gladness.
