Judith 12

KING JAMES BIBLE	Biblija Hrvatski
1 Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.	1 Zapovjedi da je odvedu na mjesto gdje je bilo pohranjeno srebrno posuđe i naredi da joj daju od jela njegovih i od vina njegova.
2 And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.	2 Ali Judita odgovori: »Neću toga jesti da ne bude sablazni, nego neka mi se jelo priređuje od onoga što sam donijela sa sobom.«
3 Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.	3 Holoferno je zapita: »Kad ti ponestane što imaš uza se, odakle ćemo ti davati takva jela kad među nama nema nikoga od tvoga roda?«
4 Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.	4 Judita odgovori: »Života mi tvoga, gospodaru, ropkinja tvoja neće ni utrošiti što je sa sobom donijela, a Gospod će već rukom njezinom izvesti što je odlučio.«
5 Then the servants of Holofernes brought her into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose when it was toward the morning watch,	5 Onda je sluge Holofernove odvedoše u šator. Spavala je do ponoći. Ustade o jutarnjoj straži.
6 And sent to Holofernes, saving, Let my lord now command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer.	6 Poruči Holofernu: »Neka gospodar moj dopusti da sluškinja njegova iziđe radi molitve.«
7 Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.	7 Holoferno naredi svojim stražarima da je u tome ne ometaju. Ostala je tako tri dana u taboru. Noću je išla u dolinu Betulije i umivala se na studencu u taboru.
8 And when she came out, she besought the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of the children of her people.	8 Kad bi tako izišla, molila bi Gospoda, Boga Izraelova, da joj korake upravi na slavu sinova naroda njezina.
9 So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until she did eat her meat at evening.	9 Vrativši se čista, zadržala bi se u šatoru dok joj ne bi navečer priredili jelo.
10 And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.	10 Četvrtoga dana Holoferno priredi gozbu samo za svoje časnike. Ne pozva nikoga od posluge.
11 Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us.	11 Reče dvoraninu Bagoi, upravitelju svih svojih dobara: »Idi i nagovori onu Hebrejku koja je kod tebe da dođe jesti i piti s nama.
12 For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.	12 Bila bi nam prava sramota imati uza se takvu ženu a ne biti s njom; jer ako je ne predobijemo, rugat će nam se.«
13 Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.	13 Bagoa izađe od Holoferna, uđe k njoj i reče joj: »Neka ljepojka ne oklijeva doći k mome gospodaru da bude čašćena u njegovoj nazočnosti, da veselo pije vino s nama i postane ovoga dana kao jedna od asirskih kćeri koje žive u dvoru Nabukodonozorovu.«
14 Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.	14 Judita mu odgovori: »Tko sam ja da se usprotivim svome gospodaru? Učinit ću smjesta sve što je drago oku njegovu. Bit će mi to radost sve do smrti.«
15 So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman's attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas far her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.	15 Ustade, ukrasi se haljinama i svakakvim ženskim uresima. Sluškinja ode prije nje te prostrije po zemlji pred Holoferna ovnujske kože koje je dobila od Bagoe za svakidašnju upotrebu da na njima svakoga dana udobno blaguje.
16 Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.	16 Judita uđe i smjesti se. Holofernu se srce uzbudi, duša mu se uznemiri i spopade ga ognjena žudnja da bude s njom. Od onoga dana kad ju je prvi put vidio, samo je vrebao priliku da je zavede.
17 Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, and be merry with us.	17 Kaza joj Holoferno: »De pij i veseli se s nama!«
18 So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.	18 Judita odgovori: »Hoću, pit ću, gospodaru, jer osjećam da je danas moj život tako velik kako nije bio nikada od moga rođenja.«
19 Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.	19 Uzela je, jela je i pila pred njim što joj njezina sluškinja bijaše priredila.
20 And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.	20 Holoferno je uživao u njoj i pio je toliko vina koliko ga nije pio nikad u životu.
