KING JAMES BIBLENOVA VULGATA
1 And when they that were in the tents heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done.1 Ut autem audierunt hi, qui in tabernaculis erant, obstu puerunt superquod factum erat.
2 And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that durst abide in the sight of his neighbour, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.2 Et incidit in illos timor et tremor, et non erat homo, quimaneret contra faciem proximi sui adhuc, sed effusi simul fugiebant in omnemviam campi et montanae.
3 They also that had camped in the mountains round about Bethulia fled away. Then the children of Israel, every one that was a warrior among them, rushed out upon them.3 Et, qui castra collocaverant in montana circaBetuliam, in fugam conversi sunt. Et tunc filii Israel, omnis vir bellatoreorum, diffusi sunt in illos.
4 Then sent Ozias to Betomasthem, and to Bebai, and Chobai, and Cola and to all the coasts of Israel, such as should tell the things that were done, and that all should rush forth upon their enemies to destroy them.4 Et misit Ozias Betomesthaim et Bemen et Chobamet Cholam in omnem finem Israel, qui renuntiarent de his rebus, quae consummataerant, et ut omnes in hostes effunderentur in interfectionem eorum.
5 Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and slew them unto Chobai: likewise also they that came from Jerusalem, and from all the hill country, (for men had told them what things were done in the camp of their enemies) and they that were in Galaad, and in Galilee, chased them with a great slaughter, until they were past Damascus and the borders thereof.5 Ut autemaudierunt filii Israel, omnes simul irruerunt in illos et concidebant illosusque Chobam. Similiter autem et, qui in Ierusalem erant, advenerunt ex omnimontana; renuntiata enim sunt illis, quae facta sunt in castris inimicorumillorum. Et qui in Galaad et qui in Galilaea erant, persecuti sunt illos etpercusserunt eos plaga magna, donec transirent Damascum et terminos eorum.
6 And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.6 Reliqui autem, qui inhabitabant Betuliam, irruerunt in castra Assyriae etexspoliaverunt eos et locupletati sunt valde.
7 And the children of Israel that returned from the slaughter had that which remained; and the villages and the cities, that were in the mountains and in the plain, gat many spoils: for the multitude was very great.7 Filii autem Israel regressi acaede dominati sunt reliquiis; et vici et villae in montana et in campestrimulta spolia possederunt; multitudo enim magna erat.
8 Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the children of Israel that dwelt in Jerusalem, came to behold the good things that God had shewed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to salute her.8 Et venit Ioachim sacerdos magnus et seniores filiorum Israel, qui inhabitabantIerusalem, ut viderent bona, quae fecit Dominus Israel, et ut viderent Iudith etloquerentur cum illa in pace.
9 And when they came unto her, they blessed her with one accord, and said unto her, Thou art the exaltation of Jerusalem, thou art the great glory of Israel, thou art the great rejoicing of our nation:9 Et, ut exiit ad illos Iudith, benedixerunt simuleam omnes et dixerunt ad illam: “ Tu exaltatio Ierusalem, tu gloria magnaIsrael, tu laus magna generis nostri.
10 Thou hast done all these things by thine hand: thou hast done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be thou of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.10 Fecisti omnia haec in manu tua, fecistibona cum Israel, et complacuit in illis Deus. Benedicta esto tu, mulier, apudDeum omnipotentem in aeternum tempus ”. Et dixit omnis populus: “ Fiat,fiat! ”.
11 And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave unto Judith Holofernes his tent, and all his plate, and beds, and vessels, and all his stuff: and she took it and laid it on her mule; and made ready her carts, and laid them thereon.11 Et exspoliavit populus castra per dies triginta, et dederunt Iudithtabernaculum Holofernis et omne argentum et lectus et vasa et omnem apparatumillius. Et accipiens illa imposuit in mulas et iunxit currus suos et congessitilla in ipsis.
12 Then all the women of Israel ran together to see her, and blessed her, and made a dance among them for her: and she took branches in her hand, and gave also to the women that were with her.12 Et concurrit omnis mulier Israel, ut videret eam, etbenedixerunt eam et fecerunt ei chorum de se. Et accepit thyrsos in manibus suiset dedit mulieribus, quae secum erant.
13 And they put a garland of olive upon her and her maid that was with her, and she went before all the people in the dance, leading all the women: and all the men of Israel followed in their armour with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.13 Et coronatae sunt oliva, ipsa et quaecum illa erant. Et antecessit omni populo in chorea dux omnium mulierum, etsequebatur omnis vir Israel armatus, cum coronis et hymnis in ore ipsorum.
14 []14 Etexordiebatur Iudith confessionem hanc in omni Israel, et acclamabat omnispopulus laudationem hanc Domini.
