Judith 14

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblia Matos Soares
1 And Judith said to all the people: Hear me, my brethren, hang ye up this head upon our walls.	1 Disse, pois, Judit a todo o povo: Ouvi-me, irmãos, pendurai esta cabeça no alto dos nossos muros ;
2 And as soon as the sun shall rise, let every man take his arms, and rush ye out, not as going down beneath, but as making an assault.	2 quando tiver saído o sol, tome cada um as suas armas, e saí com ímpeto, não para descerdes até aos inimigos, mas como querendo acometê-los.
3 Then the watchmen must needs run to awake their prince for the battle.	3 Então será necessário que as guardas avançadas corram a despertar o seu general para a batalha.
4 And when the captains of them shall run to the tent of Holofernes, and shall find him without his head wallowing in his blood, fear shall fall upon them.	4 Quando os seus capitães tiverem corrido para a tenda de Holofernes, e quando o encontrarem decapitado, envolvido no seu próprio sangue, cairá sobre eles o temor.
5 And when you shall know that they are fleeing, go after them securely, for the Lord will destroy them under your feet.	5 Quando os virdes fugir, ide afoutos atrás deles, porque o Senhor os pisará debaixo dos vossos pés.
6 Then Achior seeing the power that the God of Israel had wrought, leaving the religion of the gentiles, he believed God, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the people of Israel, with all the succession of his kindred until this present day.	6 Então Aquior, vendo a maravilha que o Deus de Israel tinha feito, deixadas as superstições da gentilidade, creu em Deus, circuncidou-se e foi incorporado no povo de Israel, assim como toda a sua descendência até ao dia de hoje.
7 And immediately at break of day, they hung up the head of Holofernes upon the walls, and every man took his arms, and they sent out with a great noise and shouting.	7 Logo que apareceu o dia, penduraram sobre os muros a cabeça de Holofernes, cada um tomou as suas armas, e saíram com muito estrondo e alarido.
8 And the watchmen seeing this, ran to the tent of Holofernes.	8 Vendo isto as sentinelas avançadas, correram à tenda de Holofernes.
9 And they that were in the tent came, and made a noise before the door of the chamber to awake him, endeavoring by art to break his rest, that Holofernes might awake, not by their calling him, but by their noise.	9 Os que estavam na tenda, indo e fazendo ruído à entrada da câmara, a fim de o despertar, procuravam, com arte, que Holofernes acordasse com o ruído que faziam, sem ser despertado por ninguém.
10 For no man durst knock, or open and go into the chamber of the general of the Assyrians.	10 Com efeito, nenhum ousava abrir ou bater à porta da câmara do general dos Assirios.
11 But when his captains and tribunes were come, and all the chiefs of the army of the king of the Assyrians, they said to the chamberlains	11 Mas, tendo vindo os seus capitães, tribunos e todos os oficiais maiores do exército do rei dos Assirios, disseram aos camareiros:
12 Go in, and awake him, for the mice coming out of their holes, have presumed to challenge us to fight.	12 Entrai e acordai-o, porque saíram os ratos das suas cavernas e tiveram o atrevimento de nos desafiar para o combate.
13 Then Vagao going into his chamber, stood before the curtain, and made a clapping with his hands: for he thought that he was sleeping with Judith.	13 Então Vagao, tendo entrado na câmara de Holofernes, pôs-se diante da cortina e bateu com as mãos, porque imaginava que ele dormia com Judit.
14 But when with hearkening, he perceived no motion of one lying, he came near to the curtain, and lifting it up, and seeing the body of Holofernes, lying upon the ground, without the head, sweltering in his blood, he cried out with a loud voice, with weeping, and rent his garments.	14 Porém, aplicando o ouvido e não percebendo nenhum movimento de quem dormia, aproximou-se mais da cortina e, levantando-a, viu o cadáver de Holofernes sem cabeça, que jazia estendido sobre a terra, banhado no seu próprio sangue. (Perante esse espectáculo) gritou em alta voz, com lágrimas, e rasgou as suas vestes.
15 And he went into the tent of Judith, and not finding her, he ran out to the people,	15 Tendo entrado na tenda de Judit, não a encontrou. Correu fora, para o povo,
16 And said: One Hebrew woman hath made confusion in the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for behold Holofernes lieth upon the ground, and his head is not upon him.	16 e disse; Um a mulher hebreia pôs a confusão na casa do rei Nabucodonosor: ali jaz Holofernes estendido por terra, e a sua cabeça não está com o corpo.
17 Now when the chiefs of the army of the Assyrians had heard this, they all rent their garments, and an intolerable fear and dread fell upon them, and their minds were troubled exceedingly.	17 Quando ouviram isto, os chefes do exército dos Assírios rasgaram todas as suas vestes, um receio e um pavor extremos os invadiram, e os seus ânimos ficaram completamente desconcertados.
18 And there was a very great cry in the midst of their camp.	18 E levantou-se um clamor espantoso no meio do seu acampamento.
