Tobit 5:17
Good News Translation
"I will go with him," Raphael said. "And don't worry; we will get there and back safely. The roads are not dangerous." "God be with you!" Tobit replied. Then he called Tobias and said to him, "Son, get everything ready that you need for the journey, so that the two of you can be on your way. May God and his angel watch over you both and bring you back to me safe and sound." Before leaving for Media, Tobias kissed his father and mother good-bye. Tobit said again, "Have a safe journey!"

New Revised Standard Version
So Tobit said to him, “Blessings be upon you, brother.” Then he called his son and said to him, “Son, prepare supplies for the journey and set out with your brother. May God in heaven bring you safely there and return you in good health to me; and may his angel, my son, accompany you both for your safety.” Before he went out to start his journey, he kissed his father and mother. Tobit then said to him, “Have a safe journey.”

Contemporary English Version
I replied, "I pray for God to bless you, my brother!" Then I turned to my son and said, "Get whatever supplies you will need, then start on the journey with your friend. I pray that God in heaven will watch over you until you return, and that his angel will travel with the two of you and keep you safe." Before Tobias left, he kissed his mother and me goodbye, and I said, "Have a safe trip."
