Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition	La Biblia
¹ When Judith had ceased crying out to the God of Israel, and had ended all these words,	¹ Cuando Judit terminó de invocar al Dios de Israel con su plegaria,
² she rose from where she lay prostrate and called her maid and went down into the house where she lived on sabbaths and on her feast days;	² se levantó del suelo, llamó a su criada y bajó a la casa, donde solía pasar los sábados y solemnidades.
³ and she removed the sackcloth which she had been wearing, and took off her widow's garments, and bathed her body with water, and anointed herself with precious ointment, and combed her hair and put on a tiara, and arrayed herself in her gayest apparel, which she used to wear while her husband Manasseh was living.	³ Se quitó la prenda de saco y el vestido de luto, se bañó, se ungió con un perfume de gran calidad, se peinó, adornó su cabeza con una diadema y se puso un elegante vestido que había llevado en vida de su marido, Manasés.
⁴ And she put sandals on her feet, and put on her anklets and bracelets and rings, and her earrings and all her ornaments, and made herself very beautiful, to entice the eyes of all men who might see her.	⁴ Se calzó las sandalias, se puso collares, brazaletes, anillos, pendientes y todas sus joyas. Estaba tan hermosa que atraería las miradas de los hombres que la vieran.
⁵ And she gave her maid a bottle of wine and a flask of oil, and filled a bag with parched grain and a cake of dried fruit and fine bread; and she wrapped up all her vessels and gave them to her to carry.	⁵ Entregó a su criada un odre de vino y un cántaro de aceite, llenó una alforja con galletas, tortas de higos y panes puros, empaquetó todo y se lo entregó a su criada para que lo llevara.
⁶ Then they went out to the city gate of Bethulia, and found Uzziah standing there with the elders of the city, Chabris and Charmis	⁶ Cuando ambas se dirigían a la puerta de Betulia, se encontraron con Ozías, acompañado de Jabrís y Jarmís, ancianos de la ciudad.
⁷ When they saw her, and noted how her face was altered and her clothing changed, they greatly admired her beauty, and said to her,	⁷ Al ver a Judit con el semblante transformado y su nuevo atuendo, se quedaron atónitos ante tanta hermosura y le dijeron:
⁸ "May the God of our fathers grant you favor and fulfill your plans, that the people of Israel may glory and Jerusalem may be exalted." And she worshipped God.	⁸ «El Dios de nuestros padres te conceda su favor y haga realidad tus planes para gloria de los hijos de Israel y exaltación de Jerusalén».
⁹ Then she said to them, "Order the gate of the city to be opened for me, and I will go out and accomplish the things about which you spoke with me." So they ordered the young men to open the gate for her, as she had said.	⁹ Judit adoró a Dios y les dijo: «Mandad que me abran la puerta de la ciudad. Voy a cumplir los deseos que me habéis expresado». Mandaron a los soldados que abrieran la puerta, como ella pedía.
¹⁰ When they had done this, Judith went out, she and her maid with her; and the men of the city watched her until she had gone down the mountain and passed through the valley and they could no longer see her.	¹⁰ Así lo hicieron, y salió Judit con su criada. Los hombres de la ciudad no la perdieron de vista mientras descendía por la ladera, hasta que desapareció tras cruzar el valle.
¹¹ The women went straight on through the valley; and an Assyrian patrol met her	¹¹ Cuando avanzaban aprisa por el valle, les salió al paso una avanzadilla de soldados asirios.
¹² and took her into custody, and asked her, "To what people do you belong, and where are you coming from, and where are you going?" She replied, "I am a daughter of the Hebrews, but I am fleeing from them, for they are about to be handed over to you to be devoured.	¹² La detuvieron y le preguntaron: «¿Quién eres? ¿De dónde vienes y adónde vas?». Ella respondió: «Soy hija de hebreos y huyo de ellos porque están a punto de caer en vuestras manos.
¹³ I am on my way to the presence of Holofernes the commander of your army, to give him a true report; and I will show him a way by which he can go and capture all the hill country without losing one of his men, captured or slain."	¹³ Quiero presentarme ante Holofernes, vuestro jefe, para informarle con toda sinceridad. Le mostraré un camino por el que puede pasar y apoderarse de toda la región montañosa sin perder ni uno de sus hombres».
¹⁴ When the men heard her words, and observed her face--she was in their eyes marvelously beautiful--they said to her,	¹⁴ Y cuando aquellos hombres oyeron sus palabras y vieron su rostro —de tan maravillosa hermosura—, le dijeron:
¹⁵ "You have saved your life by hurrying down to the presence of our lord. Go at once to his tent; some of us will escort you and hand you over to him.	¹⁵ «Has salvado tu vida apresurándote a bajar para ver a nuestro señor. Ve a su tienda. Algunos de los nuestros te escoltarán hasta allí.
¹⁶ And when you stand before him, do not be afraid in your heart, but tell him just what you have said, and he will treat you well."	¹⁶ Cuando estés ante él, no tengas miedo. Repítele lo que nos has dicho y te tratará bien».
¹⁷ They chose from their number a hundred men to accompany her and her maid, and they brought them to the tent of Holofernes.	¹⁷ Escoltadas por cien hombres escogidos, Judit y su criada fueron conducidas a la tienda de Holofernes.
¹⁸ There was great excitement in the whole camp, for her arrival was reported from tent to tent, and they came and stood around her as she waited outside the tent of Holofernes while they told him about her.	¹⁸ La noticia de su llegada se extendió de tienda en tienda, y acudió gente de todo el campamento. Mientras Judit estaba junto a la tienda de Holofernes en espera de ser recibida, los soldados rebullían en torno a ella.
¹⁹ And they marveled at her beauty, and admired the Israelites, judging them by her, and every one said to his neighbor, "Who can despise these people, who have women like this among them? Surely not a man of them had better be left alive, for if we let them go they will be able to ensnare the whole world!"	¹⁹ Admirados de su hermosura, pensaban que los hijos de Israel debían de ser un pueblo extraordinario y se decían: «¿Quién puede despreciar a un pueblo que tiene mujeres como esta? No hay que dejar con vida a ninguno de sus hombres; si quedara alguno, sería capaz de engañar a toda la tierra».
²⁰ Then Holofernes' companions and all his servants came out and led her into the tent.	²⁰ Entonces la guardia personal de Holofernes y sus servidores salieron y la introdujeron en la tienda.
²¹ Holofernes was resting on his bed, under a canopy which was woven with purple and gold and emeralds and precious stones.	²¹ Holofernes descansaba bajo un dosel de púrpura recamado de oro, esmeraldas y otras piedras preciosas.
²² When they told him of her he came forward to the front of the tent, with silver lamps carried before him.	²² Cuando le anunciaron la llegada de Judit, salió a la entrada de la tienda, precedido por lámparas de plata.
²³ And when Judith came into the presence of Holofernes and his servants, they all marveled at the beauty of her face; and she prostrated herself and made obeisance to him, and his slaves raised her up.	²³ Ante la presencia de Judit, él y sus servidores se maravillaron al ver un rostro tan bello. Ella se postró en tierra ante Holofernes, pero los servidores la levantaron.
