Old Testament, Tobias (Cod. Vaticanus + Cod. Alexandrinus)

καὶ ἠξίωσεν Ἀχιάχαρος περὶ ἐμοῦ, καὶ ἦλθον εἰς Νινευή. Ἀχιάχαρος δὲ ἦν ὁ οἰνοχόος καὶ ἐπὶ τοῦ δακτυλίου καὶ διοικητὴς καὶ ἐκλογιστής, καὶ κατέστησεν αὐτὸν ὁ Σαχερδονός, υἱὸς ἐκ δευτέρας· ἦν δὲ ἐξάδελφός μου.

And Ahikar interceded for me, and I came to Nineveh. Now Ahikar was the cupbearer and keeper of the signet, and administrator and accountant, and Esarhaddon, [the] son, appointed him a second time; and he was my nephew.

καὶ οὐκ ᾔδειν ὅτι στρουθία ἐν τῷ τοίχῳ ἐστίν· καὶ τῶν ὀφθαλμῶν μου ἀνεῳγότων, ἀφώδευσαν τὰ στρουθία θερμὸν εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου, καὶ ἐγενήθη λευκώματα εἰς τοὺς ὀφθαλμούς μου· καὶ ἐπορεύθην πρὸς ἰατρούς, καὶ οὐκ ὠφέλησάν με· Ἀχιάχαρος δὲ ἔτρεφέν με ἕως οὗ ἐπορεύθην εἰς τὴν Ἐλλυμαίδα.

And I did not know that there were sparrows in the wall; and as my eyes were open, the sparrows dropped warm dung into my eyes, and white films formed on my eyes; and I went to physicians, and they did not help me. And Ahikar supported me until I went to Elymais.

ὅτι ἦν δεδομένη ἀνδράσιν ἑπτά, καὶ Ἀσμόδαυς τὸ πονηρὸν δαιμόνιον ἀπέκτεινεν αὐτοὺς πρὶν ἢ γενέσθαι αὐτοὺς μετʼ αὐτῆς ὡς ἐν γυναιξίν· (9)καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ Οὐ συνίεις ἀποπνίγουσά σου τοὺς ἄνδρας; ἤδη ἑπτὰ ἔσχες. καὶ ἑνὸς αὐτῶν οὐκ ὠνάσθης.

because she had been given to seven husbands, and Asmodeus, the evil daimonion [demon], had killed them before they had been with her as [is the way] with wives. (9) And they said to her, "Do you not understand that you are strangling your husbands? You have already had seven, and you have had no joy of even one of them."

καὶ ἐπορεύθη ζητῆσαι ἄνθρωπον, καὶ εὗρεν Ῥαφαὴλ ὃς ἦν ἄγγελος, καὶ οὐκ ἤδει·

And he went to look for a man, and he found Raphael, who was an angel, and he did not know [it];

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ Ἡ καρδία καὶ τὸ ἧπαρ, ἐάν τινα ὀχλῇ δαιμόνιον ἢ πνεῦμα πονηρόν· ταῦτα δὲ καπνίσαι ἐνώπιον ἀνθρώπου ἢ γυναικός, καὶ οὐ μηκέτι ὀχληθῇ.

And he said to him, "The heart and the liver: if a daimonion [demon] or an evil spirit troubles anyone, these are to be burned as smoke before a man or a woman, and he will never be troubled again."

καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ μόνος εἰμὶ τῷ πατρί, καὶ φοβοῦμαι μὴ εἰσελθὼν ἀποθάνω καθὼς καὶ οἱ πρότεροι, ὅτι δαιμόνιον φιλεῖ αὐτὴν ὃ οὐκ ἀδικεῖ οὐδένα πλὴν τῶν προσαγόντων αὐτῇ. καὶ νῦν ἐγὼ φοβοῦμαι μὴ ἀποθάνω, καὶ κατάξω τὴν ζωὴν τοῦ πατρός μου καὶ τῆς μητρός μου μετʼ ὀδύνης ἐπʼ ἐμοὶ εἰς τὸν τάφον αὐτῶν· καὶ υἱὸς ἕτερος οὐχ ὑπάρχει αὐτοῖς ὃς θάψει αὐτούς.

And now I am my father's only [son], and I am afraid that if I go in I will die as the earlier ones did, because a daimonion [demon] loves her, which harms no one except those who come near her. And now I am afraid that I will die, and bring my father's and my mother's life down to their grave in grief over me; and they have no other son who will bury them.

εἶπεν δὲ αὐτῷ ὁ ἄγγελος Οὐ μέμνησαι τῶν λόγων ὧν ἐνετείλατό σοι ὁ πατήρ σου ὑπέρ τοῦ λαβεῖν σε γυναῖκα ἐκ τοῦ γένους σου; καὶ νῦν ἄκουσόν μου, ἀδελφέ, | διότι σοὶ ἔσται εἰς γυναῖκα, καὶ τοῦ δαιμονίου μηδένα λόγον ἔχε, ὅτι τὴν νύκτα ταύτην δοθήσεταί σοι αὕτη εἰς γυναῖκα.

But the angel said to him, "Do you not remember the words your father commanded you, that you should take a wife from your own kin? And now listen to me, brother, | for she will be your wife; and pay no heed to the daimonion, for this night she will be given to you as wife.

καὶ ἐὰν εἰσέλθῃς εἰς τὸν νυμφῶνα, λήμψῃ τέφραν θυμιαμάτων καὶ ἐπιθήσεις ἀπὸ τῆς καρδίας καὶ τοῦ ἥπατος τοῦ ἰχθύος· καὶ καπνίσεις,

And when you go into the bridal chamber, you will take ashes of incense and put on [them some] of the heart and the liver of the fish, and you will make smoke,

καὶ ὀσφρανθήσεται τὸ δαιμόνιον καὶ φεύξεται, καὶ οὐκ ἐπανελεύσεται τὸν αἰῶνα τοῦ αἰῶνος. ὅταν δὲ προσπορεύῃ αὐτῇ, ἐγέρθητε ἀμφότεροι καὶ βοήσατε πρὸς τὸν ἐλεήμονα θεόν, καὶ σώσει ὑμᾶς καὶ ἐλεήσει. μὴ φοβοῦ, ὅτι σοὶ αὕτη ἡτοιμασμένη ἦν ἀπὸ τοῦ αἰῶνος, καὶ σὺ αὐτὴν σώσεις, καὶ πορεύσεται μετὰ σοῦ, καὶ ὑπολαμβάνω ὅτι σοὶ ἔσται ἐξ αὐτῆς παιδία. καὶ ὡς ἤκουσεν Τωβίας ταῦτα, ἐφίλησεν αὐτήν, καὶ ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ ἐκολλήθη αὐτῇ σφόδρα.

and the daimonion will smell it and flee, and will not come back for ever and ever. And when you go to her, rise up, both of you, and cry out to the merciful God, and he will save you and have mercy. Do not be afraid, for she was prepared for you from eternity, and you will save her, and she will go with you, and I suppose that you will have children by her." And when Tobias heard these things, he loved her, and his soul clung to her greatly.

ὅτε δὲ ὠσφράνθη τὸ δαιμόνιον τῆς ὀσμῆς, ἔφυγεν εἰς τὰ ἀνώτατα Αἰγύπτου, καὶ ἔδησεν αὐτὸ ὁ ἄγγελος.

And when the daimonion [demon] smelled the odour, it fled to the uppermost parts of Egypt, and the angel bound it.

ἐγὼ εἰμι Ῥαφαήλ, εἰς ἐκ τῶν ἑπτὰ ἁγίων ἀγγέλων οἳ προσαναφέρουσιν τὰς προσευχὰς τῶν ἁγίων καὶ εἰσπορεύονται ἐνώπιον τῆς δόξης τοῦ ἁγίου.

I am Raphael, one of the seven holy angels who bring up the prayers of the saints and go in before the glory of the Holy One.
