Judith 15

KING JAMES BIBLE	BIBBIA RICCIOTTI
1 And when they that were in the tents heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done.	1 - Or quando tutto l'esercito seppe che Oloferne era stato decapitalo, persero la ragione ed il senno, e spinti solo dalla paura e dallo spavento cercaron salvezza nella fuga;
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 nessuno pertanto parlava coi compagni, ma a capo basso, abbandonata ogni cosa, s'affrettavano a salvarsi dagli ebrei che essi udivano venir loro addosso armati, e fuggivano per le vie de' campi e pei sentieri dei colli.
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 Vedendo allora i figli d'Israele che quelli fuggivano, si misero ad inseguirli, e corsero dando flato alle trombe e gridando dietro a loro.
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 E siccome gli Assiri fuggivano a precipizio sparpagliati, mentre i figli di Israele li inseguivano uniti, questi ne uccidevano quanti ne trovavano.
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 Ozia poi mandò avviso a tuttè le città e province d'Israele.
6 And the residue that dwelt at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.	6 Ed ogni provincia c città mandò dietro ai fuggiaschi il fiore della sua gioventù armata; e li inseguirono e li passarono a fil di spada, sino agli ultimi confini della loro terra.
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 Quelli poi ch'eran rimasti in Betulia entrarono negli accampamenti assiri, portaron via la preda che gli Assiri fuggendo avevano abbandonata, e se ne caricarono a dovizia.
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 E quelli che vincitori tornarono a Betulia portaron seco tutto ciò che era appartenuto agli Assiri, tal che non si potcvan contare i capi di bestiame, gli animali da tiro, e tutto il materiale, cosi, dal più piccolo al più grande, tutti poterono arricchirsi delle loro spoglie.
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 Ioachim poi, sommo pontefice, venne da Gerusalemme a Betulia con tutt' i seniori, per vedere Giuditta.
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 Essa gli uscì incontro, e tutti ad una voce la benedissero, dicendo: «Tu [sei] la gloria di Gerusalemme, tu l'allegrezza di Israele, tu l'onore del nostro popolo.
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 Siccome hai operato virilmente, ed il cuor tuo è'stato forte; siccome hai amato la castità e dopo il tuo marito non hai conosciuto altr'uomo; cosi la mano del Signore t'ha sorretta, e perciò sarai benedetta in eterno ».
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 Rispose tutto il popolo: « Così sia, così sia ».
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 Trenta giorni bastarono appena al popolo di Israele per raccogliere tutte le spoglie degli Assiri.
14 []	14 Or tutto quello che si trovò esser stata proprietà personale di Oloferne, oro, argento, vesti, gemme ed utensili d'ogni genere, fu data a Giuditta; tutto ciò le fu aggiudicato dal popolo.
	15 E tutti erano in festa, uomini e donne, fanciulle e giovani, al suono d'organi e cetre.
