Judith 14

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 Then said Judith unto them, Hear me now, my brethren, and take this head, and hang it upon the highest place of your walls.	1 E disse Iudit a tutto il popolo: udite me, fratelli miei; elevate questo capo sopra le mura nostre.
2 And so soon as the morning shall appear, and the sun shall come forth upon the earth, take ye every one his weapons, and go forth every valiant man out of the city, and set ye a captain over them, as though ye would go down into the field toward the watch of the Assyrians; but go not down.	2 E facciasi, che quando uscirà fuori il sole, ciascuno pigli l'arme sue; e uscite fuori con grande impeto, e andate per tal modo che solamente voi facciate il rumore; ma non discendete giuso dal monte.
3 Then they shall take their armour, and shall go into their camp, and raise up the captains of the army of Assur, and shall run to the tent of Holofernes, but shall not find him: then fear shall fall upon them, and they shall flee before your face.	3 Allora sarà necessario, che le guardie fuggano a commovere il suo principe, che venga alla battaglia.
4 So ye, and all that inhabit the coast of Israel, shall pursue them, and overthrow them as they go.	4 E quando i suoi principi saranno corsi al suo tabernacolo, e averanlo trovato troncato, invogliato nel suo sangue, rimarranno molto ispaventati.
5 But before ye do these things, call me Achior the Ammonite, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us as it were to his death.	5 E quando voi conoscerete che fuggano, andate allotta dopo loro sicuramente; però che Iddio li abbatterà sotto i piedi vostri.
6 Then they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; and when he was come, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man's hand in the assembly of the people, he fell down on his face, and his spirit failed.	6 Allora vedendo Achior quello che il Dio d' Israel fece nella sua virtù, lasciata la consuetudine e li costumi de' gentili, credette in Dio; e fu circonciso, e fu connumerato tra il popolo d' Israel, e tutta la sua successione persino al dì d' oggi.
7 But when they had recovered him, he fell at Judith's feet, and reverenced her, and said, Blessed art thou in all the tabernacles of Juda, and in all nations, which hearing thy name shall be astonished.	7 Subito, fatto che fu giorno, elevarono sopra lo muro lo capo di Oloferne; e pigliò ciascuno uomo. l'arme sue, e uscirono con grande rumore e ululato.
8 Now therefore tell me all the things that thou hast done in these days. Then Judith declared unto him in the midst of the people all that she had done, from the day that she went forth until that hour she spake unto them.	8 La qual cosa vedendo le guardie, corsero al tabernacolo [di Oloferne].
9 And when she had left off speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city.	9 E venendo quelli che erano nel tabernacolo, e facendo strepito dinanzi alla entrata della camera, e' facevano questo studiosamente (per eccitar Oloferne), acciò che non paresse che fossero venuti per desedarlo, ma solo che a questo rumore Oloferne si eccitasse a vigilia (e non dormisse).
10 And when Achior had seen all that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God greatly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined unto the house of Israel unto this day.	10 Niuno nientedimeno ebbe tanto ardire, di quelli degli Assirii, che picchiando ovver entrando aprisse.
11 And as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took his weapons, and they went forth by bands unto the straits of the mountain.	11 Ma venendo li suoi duchi e tribuni e li maggiori dello esercito degli Assirii, dissero alli cubicularii:
12 But when the Assyrians saw them, they sent to their leaders, which came to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers.	12 entrate ed eccitatelo, però che i topi sono usciti fuori delle caverne sue, e sono venuti ad eccitarci a battaglia.
13 So they came to Holofernes' tent, and said to him that had the charge of all his things, Waken now our lord: for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.	13 Allora entrato Vagao alla camera sua, fermossi dinanzi alla cortina, e percosse con le mani una con l'altra; però che lui pensava che dormisse con Iudit.
14 Then went in Bagoas, and knocked at the door of the tent; for he thought that he had slept with Judith.	14 E conciosia che (stando cheto) non sentisse alcuno movimento di persona che dormisse, appressossi alla cortina; e levandola, e vedendo il corpo di Oloferne giacere sopra la terra senza capo, tutto (sanguinato e) involuto nel suo sangue, gridò piagnendo con grande voce, e squarciò le vestimenta sue.
15 But because none answered, he opened it, and went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the floor dead, and his head was taken from him.	15 Ed entrato nel tabernacolo di Iudit, non la trovò; e uscì fuori al popolo,
16 Therefore he cried with a loud voice, with weeping, and sighing, and a mighty cry, and rent his garments.	16 e disse: una femina Ebrea ha fatto, confusione nella casa di Nabucodonosor re; ecco che Oloferne giace sopra la terra senza capo.
17 After he went into the tent where Judith lodged: and when he found her not, he leaped out to the people, and cried,	17 E avendo udito questo, li principi della potenza degli Assirii, squarciorono tutti le sue vestimenta; e uno tremore e paura intollerabile cadè sopra di loro, e rimasono tutti molto sbigottiti.
18 These slaves have dealt treacherously; one woman of the Hebrews hath brought shame upon the house of king Nabuchodonosor: for, behold, Holofernes lieth upon the ground without a head.	18 E nel mezzo del campo loro fatto è uno clamore maraviglioso.
19 When the captains of the Assyrians' army heard these words, they rent their coats and their minds were wonderfully troubled, and there was a cry and a very great noise throughout the camp.
