Judith 14

DOUAI-RHEIMS	Biblija Hrvatski
1 And Judith said to all the people: Hear me, my brethren, hang ye up this head upon our walls.	1 Judita im reče: »Poslušajte me, braćo! Uzmite ovu glavu i objesite je na krunište naših zidina.
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 Čim zora zarudi te sunce obasja zemlju, neka se svatko maši svog oružja i svi hrabri muževi neka izađu iz grada. Izabrat ćete im vođu kao da tobože hoćete sići u ravnicu, na asirske predstraže. Ali nećete sići.
3 Then the watchmen must needs run to awake their prince for the battle.	3 Oni će pograbiti svoje oružje, otići će u tabor i probudit će zapovjednike asirske vojske. Zajedno će otrčati k Holofernovu šatoru, i kad Holoferna ne nađu, spopast će ih užas i pobjeći će ispred vas.
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 Vi i svi koji žive u granicama Izraela, progonite ih i uništite na putu njihova uzmaka.
5 And when you shall know that they are fleeing, go after them securely, for the Lord will destroy them under your feet.	5 Ali prije nego sve to izvedete, pozovite mi Ahiora Amonca da svojim očima prepozna onoga koji je prezreo kuću Izraelovu a njega poslao k nama u smrt.«
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 Pozvaše Ahiora iz Ozijine kuće. Kako dođe i vidje Holofernovu glavu u rukama jednog od članova narodnoga zbora, sruši se na zemlju i onesvijesti.
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 Kada se osvijestio, baci se do nogu Juditi, pokloni joj se i uskliknu: »Blagoslovljena da si u svakome šatoru Judinu i u svakom narodu! Svatko će drhtati od straha kad čuje tvoje ime!
8 And the watchmen seeing this, ran to the tent of Holofernes.	8 A sada mi pripovjedi što si sve izvela ovih dana.« Judita mu usred mnoštva pripovjedi sve što je učinila od onoga dana kad je otišla pa do tada, do toga razgovora s njima.
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 Kad je završila kazivanje, narod počne klicati od radosti: svim gradom odjeknuše radosni povici.
10 For no man durst knock, or open and go into the chamber of the general of the Assyrians.	10 Tada Ahior, vidjevši što je sve učinio Bog Izraelov, povjerova čvrsto u Boga te se dade obrezati i tako bî pribrojen narodu Izraelovu.
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 A kad zarudje zora, objesiše Holofernovu glavu na zidine. Svaki pograbi svoje oružje te jurnuše u odredima niz padine.
12 Go in, and awake him, for the mice coming out of their holes, have presumed to challenge us to fight.	12 Kada ih Asirci ugledaše, obavijestiše svoje zapovjednike. Ovi pođoše zapovjednicima, tisućnicima i ostalim časnicima svojim.
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 Dođoše do Holofernova šatora pa kazaše upravitelju njegovih dobara: »De probudi našega gospodara. Oni su se robovi usudili sići i napasti nas da zauvijek budu uništeni.«
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 Bagoa uđe i pljesnu rukama pred šatorskim zastorom: mišljaše da Holoferno spava s Juditom.
15 And he went into the tent of Judith, and not finding her, he ran out to the people,	15 Ali kako se nitko ne odazva, razmaknu zastore, uđe u ložnicu i nađe truplo bačeno na prag: glave nigdje, bijaše odnesena.
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 Kriknu iza glasa te plačući, jecajući i snažno zapomažući rastrga na sebi haljine.
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 Uđe zatim u šator u kojem je boravila Judita i ne nađe je. Onda otrča k narodu i povika:
18 And there was a very great cry in the midst of their camp.	18 »Ovi su robovi podmukli: jedna sama Hebrejka osramotila je dom kralja Nabukodonozora. Evo Holoferna na zemlji, ali glave na njemu nema.«
	19 Kad zapovjednici vojske asirske čuše te riječi, razderaše na sebi haljine, dušu im spopade silan strah, a taborom im se prolomiše oštri krikovi i silna kuknjava.
