Tobit

Tobit 10:7

καὶ εἶπεν αὐτῷ· σίγα, μὴ πλάνα με, ἀπώλετο τὸ παιδίον μου. καὶ ἐπορεύετο καθ᾿ ἡμέραν εἰς τὴν ὁδὸν ἔξω, οἵας ἀπῆλθεν, ἡμέρας τε ἄρτον οὐκ ἤσθιε, τὰς δέ νύκτας οὐ διελίμπανε θρηνοῦσα Τωβίαν τὸν υἱὸν αὐτῆς, ἕως οὗ συνετελέσθησαν αἱ δεκατέσσαρες ἡμέραι τοῦ γάμου, ἃς ὤμοσε Ραγουὴλ ποιῆσαι αὐτὸν ἐκεῖ· εἶπε δὲ Τωβίας τῷ Ραγουήλ· ἐξαπόστειλόν με, ὅτι ὁ πατήρ μου καὶ ἡ μήτηρ μου οὐκέτι ἐλπίζουσιν ὄψεσθαί με.
King James Version (KJV)

But she said, Hold thy peace, and deceive me not; my son is dead. And she went out every day into the way which they went, and did eat no meat on the daytime, and ceased not whole nights to bewail her son Tobias, until the fourteen days of the wedding were expired, which Raguel had sworn that he should spend there. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and my mother look no more to see me.

Modern English

But she said, Be quiet, and do not deceive me; my son is dead. And every day she went out to the road he had taken and would not eat during the day, and she wept for her son Tobias every night without ceasing, until the fourteen days of the wedding feast that Raguel had sworn to keep were completed. Then Tobias said to Raguel, Let me go, for my father and mother no longer expect to see me.
