Giuditta 15

NOVA VULGATA	DOUAI-RHEIMS
1 Ut autem audierunt hi, qui in tabernaculis erant, obstu puerunt superquod factum erat.	1 And when all the army heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fled from them, and being seized with trembling and fear they thought only to save themselves by flight:
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.	2 So that no one spoke to his neighbor, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills.
3 Et, qui castra collocaverant in montana circaBetuliam, in fugam conversi sunt. Et tunc filii Israel, omnis vir bellatoreorum, diffusi sunt in illos.	3 So the children of Israel seeing them fleeing, followed after them. And they went down sounding with trumpets and shouting after 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.	4 And because the Assyrians were not united together, they went without order in their flight ; but the children of Israel pursuing in one body, defeated all that they could find.
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.	5 And Ozias sent messengers through all the cities and countries of Israel.
6 Reliqui autem, qui inhabitabant Betuliam, irruerunt in castra Assyriae etexspoliaverunt eos et locupletati sunt valde.	6 And every country, and every city, sent their chosen young men armed after them, and they pursued them with the edge of the sword until they came to the extremities of their confines.
7 Filii autem Israel regressi acaede dominati sunt reliquiis; et vici et villae in montana et in campestrimulta spolia possederunt; multitudo enim magna erat.	7 And the rest that were in Bethulia went into the camp of the Assyrians, and took away the spoils, which the Assyrians in their flight had left behind them, and they were laden exceedingly.
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.	8 But they that returned conquerors to Bethulia, brought with them all things that were theirs, so that there was no numbering of their cattle, and beasts, and all their moveables, insomuch that from the least to the greatest all were made rich by their spoils.
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.	9 And Joachim the high priest came from Jerusalem to Bethulia with all his ancients to see Judith.
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! ”.	10 And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:
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.	11 For thou hast done manfully, and thy heart has been strengthened, because thou hast loved chastity, and after thy husband hast not known any other: therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, and therefore thou shalt be blessed for ever.
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.	12 And all the people said: So be it, so be it
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.	13 And thirty days were scarce sufficient for the people of Israel to gather up the spoils of the Assyrians.
14 Etexordiebatur Iudith confessionem hanc in omni Israel, et acclamabat omnispopulus laudationem hanc Domini.	14 But all those things that were proved to be the peculiar goods of Holofernes, they gave to Judith in gold, and silver, and garments and precious stones, and all household stuff, and they all were delivered to her by the people.
	15 And all the people rejoiced, with the women, and virgins, and young men, playing on instruments and harps.
