Giuditta 16

NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Dixitque Iudith: “ Incipite Deo meo in tym panis, cantate Domino meo in cymbalis, modulamini illi psalmum novum, exaltate et invocate nomen ipsius.	1 Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.
2 Tu es Deus conterens bella, qui ponis castra in medio populi tui, ut eripias me de manu persequentium me.	2 And Judith said, Begin unto my God with timbrels, sing unto my Lord with cymbals: tune unto him a new psalm: exalt him, and call upon his name.
3 Venit Assur a montibus, a borra, venit in milibus virtutum suarum, quorum multitudo obturavit torrentes, et equitatus ipsorum texit colles.	3 For God breaketh the battles: for among the camps in the midst of the people he hath delivered me out of the hands of them that persecuted me.
4 Et dixit incensurum se fines meos et iuvenes meos occisurum gladio et mammantes meos daturum ad solum et infantes meos daturum in partitionem et virgines spoliaturum.	4 Assur came out of the mountains from the north, he came with ten thousands of his army, the multitude whereof stopped the torrents, and their horsemen have covered the hills.
5 Dominus omnipotens sprevit illos et confudit illos in manu feminae!	5 He bragged that he would burn up my borders, and kill my young men with the sword, and dash the sucking children against the ground, and make mine infants as a prey, and my virgins as a spoil.
6 Non enimcecidit potens eorum a iuvenibus, nec filii Titanum percusserunt illum, nec alti gigantes superposuerunt se illi, sed Iudith filia Merari in specie faciei suae dissolvit illum.	6 But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman.
7 Dispoliavit enim se stola viduitatissuae in exaltationem dolentium in Israel. Unxit faciem suam unguento	7 For the mighty one did not fall by the young men, neither did the sons of the Titans smite him, nor high giants set upon him: but Judith the daughter of Merari weakened him with the beauty of her countenance.
8 et colligavit capillos suos in mitra et accepit stolam lineam in seductionem eius.	8 For she put off the garment of her widowhood for the exaltation of those that were oppressed in Israel, and anointed her face with ointment, and bound her hair in a tire, and took a linen garment to deceive him.
9 Sandalum eius rapuit oculum ipsius, et species eius captivam fecit animam illius, et transiit gladius cervicem eius.	9 Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.
10 Horruerunt Persae audaciam eius, et Medi turbati sunt constantia ipsius.	10 The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the Medes were daunted at her hardiness.
11 Tunc ululaverunt humiles mei, et exclamaverunt aegrotantes et territi sunt, in altum extulerunt vocem suam et conversi sunt.	11 Then my afflicted shouted for joy, and my weak ones cried aloud; but they were astonished: these lifted up their voices, but they were overthrown.
12 Filii puellarum compunxerunt illos et tamquam pueros ultroneos vulnerabant; perierunt a praelio Domini mei.	12 The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and wounded them as fugatives' children: they perished by the battle of the Lord.
13 Cantabo Deo meo hymnum novum: Domine, magnus es tu et clarus, mirabilis in virtute et insuperabilis.	13 I will sing unto the Lord a new song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.
14 Tibi serviat omnis creatura tua, quoniam dixisti, et facta sunt, misisti spiritum tuum, et aedificata sunt, et non est qui resistat voci tuae.	14 Let all creatures serve thee: for thou spakest, and they were made, thou didst send forth thy spirit, and it created them, and there is none that can resist thy voice.
15 Montes enim a fundamentis agitabuntur cum aquis, petrae autem a facie tua tamquam cera liquescent. Illis autem, qui timent te, propitius adhuc eris.	15 For the mountains shall be moved from their foundations with the waters, the rocks shall melt as wax at thy presence: yet thou art merciful to them that fear thee.
16 Quoniam pusillum omne sacrum ad odorem suavitatis, et minimus omnis adeps in holocaustum tibi. Qui autem timet Dominum, magnus apud eum semper.	16 For all sacrifice is too little for a sweet savour unto thee, and all the fat is not sufficient for thy burnt offering: but he that feareth the Lord is great at all times.
17 Vae gentibus assurgentibus generi meo! Dominus omnipotens vindicabit illos, in die iudicii visitabit eos, ut det ignem et vermes in carnes eorum, et comburentur, ut sentiant usque in aeternum ”.	17 Woe to the nations that rise up against my kindred! the Lord Almighty will take vengeance of them in the day of judgment, in putting fire and worms in their flesh; and they shall feel them, and weep for ever.
18 Ut autem venerunt in Ierusalem, adoraverunt Deum; et, postquam mundatus estpopulus, rettulerunt holocaustum Domino et voluntaria sua et munera.	18 Now as soon as they entered into Jerusalem, they worshipped the Lord; and as soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, and their free offerings, and their gifts.
19 Etattulit Iudith omnia vasa Holofernis, quaecumque dederat ei populus, etconopeum, quod sustulerat de cubiculo ipsius, in consecrationem Domino dedit.	19 Judith also dedicated all the stuff of Holofernes, which the people had given her, and gave the canopy, which she had taken out of his bedchamber, for a gift unto the Lord.
20 Et populus laetabatur in Ierusalem contra faciem sanctorum per menses tres, etIudith cum illis mansit.	20 So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months and Judith remained with them.
21 Post illos autem dies rediit unusquisque in hereditatem suam, et Iudith abiitin Betuliam et demorata est in possessione sua. Et facta est secundum tempussuum clara in omni terra,	21 After this time every one returned to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained in her own possession, and was in her time honourable in all the country.
22 et multi concupierunt eam, et non cognovit virillam omnibus diebus vitae eius, ex qua die mortuus est Manasses maritus illiuset appositus est ad populum suum.	22 And many desired her, but none knew her all the days of her life, after that Manasses her husband was dead, and was gathered to his people.
23 Et procedens magna facta est valde etsenuit in domo mariti sui Manasses annos centum quinque; et dimisit abram suamliberam. Et mortua est in Betulia, et sepelierunt eam in spelunca.	23 But she increased more and more in honour, and waxed old in her husband's house, being an hundred and five years old, and made her maid free; so she died in Bethulia: and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasses.
24 Et planxit eam omnis Israel diebus septem. Divisitque bona sua, priusquammoreretur, omnibus proximis viri sui Manasses et proximis ex genere suo.	24 And the house of Israel lamented her seven days: and before she died, she did distribute her goods to all them that were nearest of kindred to Manasses her husband, and to them that were the nearest of her kindred.
25 Etnon fuit adhuc, qui in timorem mitteret filios Israel in diebus Iudith et postmortem eius diebus multis.	25 And there was none that made the children of Israel any more afraid in the days of Judith, nor a long time after her death.
