| 1 | And it came to pass, when she had ceased to cry to the Lord, that she rose from the place wherein she lay prostrate before the Lord. | Factum est autem, cum cessasset clamare ad Dominum, surrexit de loco in quo iacuerat prostrata ad Dominum. | Καὶ ἐγένετο ὡς ἐπαύσατο βοῶσα πρὸς τὸν Θεὸν Ἰσραὴλ, καὶ συνετέλεσε πάντα τὰ ῥήματα ταῦτα, |
| 2 | And she called her maid, and going down into her house she took off her haircloth, and put away the garments of her widowhood, | Vocavitque abram suam, et descendens in domum suam, abstulit a se cilicium, et exuit se vestimentis viduitatis suae, | καὶ ἀνέστη ἀπὸ τῆς πτώσεως καὶ ἐκάλεσε τὴν ἅβραν αὐτῆς, καὶ κατέβη εἰς τὸν οἶκον ἐν ᾧ διέτριβεν ἐν αὐτῷ ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῶν σαββάτων, καὶ ἐν ταῖς ἑορταῖς αὐτῆς, |
| 3 | And she washed her body, and anointed herself with the best ointment, and plaited the hair of her head, and put a bonnet upon her head, and clothed herself with the garments of her gladness, and put sandals on her feet, and took her bracelets, and lilies, and earlets, and rings, and adorned herself with all her ornaments. | et lavit corpus suum, et unxit se myro optimo, et discriminavit crinem capitis sui, et imposuit mitram super caput suum, et induit se vestimentis iucunditatis suae, induitque sandalia pedibus suis, assumpsitque dextraliola, et lilia, et inaures, et annulos, et omnibus ornamentis suis ornavit se. | καὶ περιείλατο τὸν σάκκον ὃν ἐνεδεδύκει, καὶ ἐξεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς χηρεύσεως αὐτῆς, καὶ περιεκλύσατο τὸ σῶμα ὕδατι, καὶ ἐχρίσατο μύρῳ παχεῖ, καὶ διέταξε τὰς τρίχας τῆς κεφαλῆς αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπέθετο μίτραν ἐπʼ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐνεδύσατο τὰ ἱμάτια τῆς εὐφροσύνης αὐτῆς, ἐν οἷς ἐστολίζετο ἐν ταῖς ἡμέραις τῆς ζωῆς τοῦ ἀνδρὸς αὐτῆς Μανασσῆ· |
| 4 | And the Lord also gave her more beauty: because all this dressing up did not proceed from sensuality, lent from virtue: and therefore the Lord increased this her beauty, so that she appeared to all men’s eyes incomparably lovely. | Cui etiam Dominus contulit splendorem: quoniam omnis ista compositio non ex libidine, sed ex virtute pendebat: et ideo Dominus hanc in illam pulchritudinem ampliavit, ut incomparabili decore omnium oculis appareret. | καὶ ἔλαβε σανδάλια εἰς τοὺς πόδας αὐτῆς, καὶ περιέθετο τοὺς χλιδῶνας, καὶ τὰ ψέλλια, καὶ τοὺς δακτυλίους, καὶ τὰ ἐνώτια, καὶ πάντα τὸν κόσμον αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐκαλλωπίσατο σφόδρα εἰς ἀπάτησιν ὀφθαλμῶν ἀνδρῶν, ὅσοι ἂν ἴδωσιν αὐτήν. |
| 5 | And she gave to her maid a bottle of wine to carry, and a vessel of oil, and parched corn, and dry figs, and bread and cheese, and went out. | Imposuit itaque abrae suae ascoperam vini, et vas olei, et polentam, et palathas, et panes, et caseum, et profecta est. | Καὶ ἔδωκε τῇ ἅβρᾳ αὐτῆς ἀσκοπυτίνην οἴνου, καὶ καμψάκην ἐλαίου, καὶ πήραν ἐπλήρωσεν ἀλφίτων καὶ παλάθης καὶ ἄρτων καθαρῶν, καὶ περιεδίπλωσε πάντα τὰ ἀγγεῖα αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπʼ αὐτῇ. |
| 6 | And when they came to the gate of the city, they found Ozias, and the ancients of the city waiting. | Cumque venissent ad portam civitatis, invenerunt expectantem Oziam et presbyteros civitatis. | Καὶ ἐξήλθοσαν ἐπὶ τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως Βετυλούα, καὶ εὕροσαν ἐφεστῶτας ἐπʼ αὐτῇς Ὀζίαν, καὶ τοὺς πρεσβυτέρους τῆς πόλεως Χαβρὶν καὶ Χαρμίν. |
| 7 | And when they saw her they were astonished, and admired her beauty exceedingly. | Qui cum vidissent eam, stupentes mirati sunt nimis pulchritudinem eius. | Ὡς δὲ εἶδον αὐτὴν, καὶ ἦν ἠλλοιωμένον τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, καὶ τὴν στολὴν μεταβεβληκυῖαν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπὶ τῷ κάλλει αὐτῆς ἐπὶ πολὺ σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπαν αὐτῇ, |
| 8 | But they asked her no question, only they let her pass, saying: The God of our fathers give thee grace, and may he strengthen all the counsel of thy heart with his power, that Jerusalem may glory in thee, and thy name may be in the number of the holy and just. | Nihil tamen interrogantes eam, dimiserunt transire, dicentes: Deus patrum nostrorum det tibi gratiam, et omne consilium tui cordis sua virtute corroboret, ut glorietur super te Ierusalem, et sit nomen tuum in numero sanctorum et iustorum. | ὁ Θεὸς ὁ Θεὸς τῶν πατέρων ἡμῶν δῴη σε εἰς χάριν, καὶ τελειώσαι τὰ ἐπιτηδεύματά σου εἰς γαυρίαμα υἱῶν Ἱσραὴλ καὶ ὕψωμα Ἰερουσαλήμ· καὶ προσεκύνησε τῷ Θεῷ, |
| 9 | And they that were there said, all with one voice: So be it, so be it. | Et dixerunt hi qui illic erant omnes una voce: Fiat, fiat. | Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτοὺς, ἐπιτάξατε ἀνοῖξαί μοι τὴν πύλην τῆς πόλεως, καὶ ἐξελεύσομαι εἰς τελείωσιν τῶν λόγων, ὧν ἐλαλήσατε μετʼ ἐμοῦ· καὶ συνέταξαν τοῖς νεανίσκοις ἀνοῖξαι αὐτῇ καθότι ἐλάλησαν. |
| 10 | But Judith praying to the Lord, passed through the gates, she and her maid. | Iudith vero orans Dominum, transivit per portas, ipsa et abra eius. | Καὶ ἐποίησαν οὕτως· καὶ ἐξῆλθεν Ἰουδὶθ, αὐτὴ καὶ ἡ παιδίσκη αὐτῆς μετʼ αὐτῆς· ἀπεσκόπευον δὲ αὐτὴν οἱ ἄνδρες τῆς πόλεως ἕως οὗ κατέβη τὸ ὄρος, ἕως διῆλθε τὸν αὐλῶνα, καὶ οὐκ ἔτι ἐθεώρουν αὐτήν. |
| 11 | And it came to pass, when she went down the hill, about break of day, that the watchmen of the Assyrians met her and stopped her, saying: Whence comest thou? or whither goest thou? | Factum est autem cum descenderet montem, circa ortum diei, occurrerunt ei exploratores Assyriorum, et tenuerunt eam, dicentes: Unde venis? aut quo vadis? | Καὶ ἐπορεύοντο ἐν τῷ αὐλῶνι εἰς εὐθεῖαν, καὶ συνήντησεν αὐτῇ προφυλακὴ τῶν Ἀσσυρίων. |
| 12 | And she answered: I am a daughter of the Hebrews, and I am fled from them, because I knew they would be made a prey to you, because they despised you, and would not of their own accord yield themselves, that they might find mercy in your sight. | Quae respondit: Filia sum Hebraeorum, ideo ego fugi a facie eorum, quoniam futurum agnovi quod dentur vobis in depraedationem, pro eo quod contemnentes vos, noluerunt ultro tradere seipsos ut invenirent misericordiam in conspectu vestro. | Καὶ συνέλαβον αὐτὴν, καὶ ἐπηρώτησαν, τίνων εἶ; καὶ πόθεν ἔρχῃ; καὶ ποῦ πορεύῃ; καὶ εἶπε, θυγάτηρ εἰμὶ τῶν Ἑβραίων, καὶ ἀποδιδράσκω ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν, ὅτι μέλλουσι δίδοσθαι ὑμῖν εἰς κατάβρωμα. |
| 13 | For this reason I thought with myself, saying: I will go to the presence of the prince Holofernes, that I may tell him their secrets, and shew him by what way he may take them, without the loss of one man of his army. | Hac de causa cogitavi mecum, dicens: Vadam ad faciem principis Holofernis, ut indicem illi secreta illorum, et ostendam illi quo aditu possit obtinere eos, ita ut non cadat vir unus de exercitu eius. | Κᾀγὼ ἔρχομαι εἰς τὸ πρόσωπον Ὀλοφέρνου ἀρχιστρατήγου δυνάμεως ὑμῶν, τοῦ ἀναγγεῖλαι ῥήματα ἀληθείας, καὶ δείξω πρὸ προσώπου αὐτοῦ ὁδὸν καθʼ ἣν πορεύσεται, καὶ κυριεύσει πάσης τῆς ὀρεινῆς, καὶ οὐ διαφωνήσει τῶν ἀνδρῶν αὐτοῦ σὰρξ μία, οὐδὲ πνεῦμα ζωῆς. |
| 14 | And when the men had heard her words, they beheld her face, and their eyes were amazed, for they wondered exceedingly at her beauty. | Et cum audissent viri illi verba eius, considerabant faciem eius, et erat in oculis eorum stupor, quoniam pulchritudinem eius mirabantur nimis. | Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν οἱ ἄνδρες τὰ ῥήματα αὐτῆς, καὶ κατενόησαν τὸ πρόσωπον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἦν ἐναντίον αὐτῶν θαυμάσιον τῷ κάλλει σφόδρα, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτὴν, |
| 15 | And they said to her: Thou hast saved thy life by taking this resolution, to come down to our lord. | Et dixerunt ad eam: Conservasti animam tuam, eo quod tale reperisti consilium, ut descenderes ad dominum nostrum. | σέσωκας τὴν ψυχήν σου, σπεύσασα καταβῆναι εἰς πρόσωπον τοῦ κυρίου ἡμῶν· καὶ νῦν πρόσελθε ἐπὶ τὴν σκηνὴν αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἀφʼ ἡμῶν προπέμψουσί σε ἕως παραδώσουσί σε εἰς τὰς χεῖρας αὐτοῦ. |
| 16 | And be assured of this, that when thou shalt stand before him, he will treat thee well, and thou wilt be most acceptable to his heart. And they brought her to the tent of Holofernes, telling him of her. | Hoc autem scias, quoniam cum steteris in conspectu eius, bene tibi faciet, et eris gratissima in corde eius. Duxeruntque illam ad tabernaculum Holofernis, annuntiantes eam. | Ἐὰν δὲ στῇς ἐναντίον αὐτοῦ, μὴ φοβηθῇς τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, ἀλλὰ ἀνάγγειλον κατὰ τὰ ῥήματά σου, καὶ εὖ σε ποιήσει. |
| 17 | And when she was come into his presence, forthwith Holofernes was caught by his eyes. | Cumque intrasset ante faciem eius, statim captus est in suis oculis Holofernes. | Καὶ ἐπέλεξαν ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρας ἑκατὸν, καὶ παρέζευξαν αὐτῇ καὶ τῇ ἅβρᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἤγαγον αὐτὰς ἐπὶ τὴν σκηνὴν Ὀλοφέρνου. |
| 18 | And his officers said to him: Who can despise the people of the Hebrews who have such beautiful women, that we should not think it worth our while for their sakes to fight against them? | Dixeruntque ad eum satellites eius: Quis contemnat populum Hebraeorum, qui tam decoras mulieres habent, ut non pro his merito pugnare contra eos debeamus? | Καὶ ἐγένετο συνδρομὴ ἐν πὰσῃ τῇ παρεμβολῇ· διεβοήθη γὰρ εἰς τὰ σκηνώματα ἡ παρουσία αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐλθόντες ἐκύκλουν αὐτὴν ὡς εἱστήκει ἔξω τῆς σκηνῆς Ὀλοφέρνου, ἕως προσήγγειλαν αὐτῷ περὶ αὐτῆς. |
| 19 | And Judith seeing Holofernes sitting under a canopy, which was woven of purple and gold, with emeralds and precious stones: | Videns itaque Iudith Holofernem sedentem in conopeo, quod erat ex purpura, et auro, et smaragdo, et lapidibus pretiosis intextum, | Καὶ ἐθαύμαζον ἐπὶ τῷ κάλλει αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐθαύμαζον τοὺς υἱοὺς Ἰσραὴλ ἀπʼ αὐτῆς· καὶ εἶπεν ἕκαστος πρὸς τὸν πλησίον αὐτοῦ, τίς καταφρονήσει τοῦ λαοῦ τούτου, ὃς ἔχει ἐν ἑαυτῷ γυναῖκας τοιαύτας; ὅτι οὐ καλόν ἐστιν ὑπολείπεσθαι ἐξ αὐτῶν ἄνδρα ἕνα, οἳ ἀφεθέντες δυνήσονται κατασοφίσασθαι πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν· |
| 20 | After she had looked on his face bowed down to him, prostrating herself to the ground. And the servants of Holofernes lifted her up, by the command of their master. | et cum in faciem eius intendisset, adoravit eum, prosternens se super terram. Et elevaverunt eam servi Holofernis, iubente domino suo. | καὶ ἐξῆλθον οἱ παρακαθεύδοντες Ὀλοφέρνῃ, καὶ πάντες οἱ θεράποντες αὐτοῦ, καὶ εἰσήγαγον αὐτὴν εἰς τὴν σκηνήν. |
