Tobit 10:6
Good News Translation
Tobit tried to comfort her. "Calm down, my dear," he said. "Don't worry. He will be all right. Something unexpected is probably keeping them there longer than we counted on. Besides, his companion is a reliable man and a relative at that. Don't let yourself get so upset over him, dear. I'm sure he is already on his way home."

New Revised Standard Version

Contemporary English Version
"But I kept trying to encourage her by saying, 'Now my darling, don't cry. There's no need to worry--I'm sure Tobias is all right. After all, the man who went with him is a relative of ours, and he can be trusted. Something unexpected must have delayed them. Tobias will be home soon, so you don't need to worry or even talk about it anymore.' "

New American Bible
