Judit 16

BIBLIA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 ¡Alabad a mi Dios con tamboriles, elevad cantos al Señor con címbalos, ofrecedle los acordes de un salmo de alabanza, ensalzad e invocad su Nombre!	1 Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.
2 Porque el Señor es un Dios quebrantador de guerras, porque en sus campos, en medio de su pueblo me arrancó de la mano de mis perseguidores.	2 And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.
3 Vinieron los asirios de los montes del norte, vinieron con tropa innumerable; su muchedumbre obstruía los torrentes, y sus caballos cubrían las colinas.	3 For God breaketh the battles: for among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of them that persecuted me.
4 Hablaba de incendiar mis tierras, de pasar mis jóvenes a espada, de estrellar contra el suelo a los lactantes, de entregar como botín a mis niños y de dar como presa a mi doncellas.	4 Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.
5 El Señor Omnipotente por mano de mujer los anuló.	5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil.
6 Que no fue derribado su caudillo por jóvenes guerreros, ni le hirieron hijos de Titanes, ni altivos gigantes le vencieron; le subyugó Judit, hija de Merarí, con sólo la hermosura de su rostro.	6 But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman.
7 Se despojó de sus vestidos de viudez, para exaltar a los afligidos de Israel; ungió su rostro de perfumes,	7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.
8 prendió con una cinta sus cabellos, ropa de lino vistió para seducirle.	8 For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.
9 La sandalia de ella le robó los ojos, su belleza cautivóle el alma ¡y la cimitarra atravesó su cuello!	9 Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.
10 Se estremecieron los persas por su audacia, se turbaron los medos por su temeridad.	10 The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the Medes were daunted at her hardiness.
11 Entonces clamaron mis humildes, y ellos temieron; clamaron mis débiles y ellos quedaron aterrados; alzaron su voz éstos, y ellos se dieron a la fuga.	11 Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.
12 Hijos de jovenzuelas los asaetearon, como a hijos de desertores los hirieron, perdieron en la batalla contra mi Señor.	12 The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and wounded them as fugatives' children: they perished by the battle of the Lord.
13 Cantaré a mi Dios un cantar nuevo: «¡Tú eres grande, Señor, eres glorioso, admirable en poder e insuperable!»	13 I will sing unto the Lord a new song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.
14 Sírvante a ti las criaturas todas, pues hablaste tú y fueron hechas, enviaste tu espíritu y las hizo, y nadie puede resitir tu voz.	14 Let all creatures serve thee: for thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.
15 Pues los montes, desde sus cimientos, serán sacudidos con las aguas; las rocas en tu presencia se fundirán como cera; pero con aquellos que te temen, te muestras tú siempre propicio.	15 For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.
16 Porque es muy poca cosa todo sacrificio de calmante aroma, y apenas es nada la grasa para serte ofrecida en holocausto. Mas quien teme al Señor será grande para siempre.	16 For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.
17 ¡Ay de las naciones que se alzan contra mi raza! El Señor Omnipotente les dará el castigo en el día del juicio. Entregará sus cuerpos al fuego y a los gusanos, y gemirán en dolor eternamente.	17 Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgment, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.
18 Cuando llegaron a Jerusalén, adoraron a Dios, y una vez purificado el pueblo, ofrecieron sus holocaustos, sus ofrendas voluntarias y sus regalos.	18 Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free offerings, and their gifts.
19 Judit ofreció todo el mobiliario de Holofernes, que el pueblo le había concedido, y entregó a Dios en anatema las colgaduras que ella misma había tomado del dormitorio de Holofernes.	19 Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.
20 Durante tres meses permaneció el pueblo en Jerusalén, celebrando festejos delante de santuario. También Judit estaba presente.	20 So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months and Judith remained with them.
21 Pasados aquellos días, se volvió cada uno a su heredad. Judit regresó a Betulia, donde vivió disfrutando de su hacienda; fue en su tiempo muy famosa en toda aquella tierra.	21 After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.
22 Muchos la pretendieron, pero ella no tuvo relaciones con ningún hombre en toda su vida, desde que su marido Manasés murió y fue a reunirse con su pueblo.	22 And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was gathered to his people.
23 Vivió hasta la avanzada edad de 105 años, transcurriendo su ancianidad en casa de su marido. A su sierva le concedió la libertad. Murió en Betulia y fue sepultada en la caverna de su marido Manasés.	23 But she increased more and more in honour, and waxed old in her husband's house, being an hundred and five years old, and made her maid free; so she died in Bethulia: and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.
24 La casa de Israel la lloró durante siete días. Antes de morir, distribuyó su hacienda entre los parientes de su marido Manasés y entre sus propios parientes.	24 And the house of Israel lamented her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the nearest of her kindred.
25 Nadie ya atemorizó a los israelitas mientras vivió Judit, ni en mucho tiempo después de su muerte.	25 And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.
