NOVA VULGATA	KING JAMES BIBLE
1 Et, cum cessasset tumultus viro rum, qui erant in circuitu conci lii,dixit Holofernes princeps militiae virtutis Assyriae ad Achior coram omni populoalienigenarum et ad omnes filios Moab:	1 And when the tumult of men that were about the council was ceased, Holofernes the chief captain of the army of Assur said unto Achior and all the Moabites before all the company of other nations,
2 “ Et quis es tu, Achior, etmercennarii Ephraim, quoniam prophetasti nobis sicut hodie et dixisti quoniamgenus filiorum Israel non expugnatur, quoniam Deus eorum proteget eos? Et quisest Deus, nisi Nabuchodonosor rex omnis terrae? Hic mittet potestatem suam etdisperdet eos a facie terrae, et non liberabit eos Deus eorum.	2 And who art thou, Achior, and the hirelings of Ephraim, that thou hast prophesied against us as to day, and hast said, that we should not make war with the people of Israel, because their God will defend them? and who is God but Nabuchodonosor?
3 Sed nos serviillius percutiemus eos sicut hominem unum, nec sustinebunt vim equorumnostrorum.	3 He will send his power, and will destroy them from the face of the earth, and their God shall not deliver them: but we his servants will destroy them as one man; for they are not able to sustain the power of our horses.
4 Inundabimus enim eos in ipsis, et montes eorum inebriabuntursanguine eorum, et campi eorum replebuntur mortuis eorum, et non resistetvestigium pedum eorum contra faciem nostram, sed perditione perient. Dicit rexNabuchodonosor, dominus universae terrae; dixit enim, et non frustrabuntur verbaoris eius.	4 For with them we will tread them under foot, and their mountains shall be drunken with their blood, and their fields shall be filled with their dead bodies, and their footsteps shall not be able to stand before us, for they shall utterly perish, saith king Nabuchodonosor, lord of all the earth: for he said, None of my words shall be in vain.
5 Tu autem, Achior, mercennari Ammon, qui locutus es verba haec indie iniquitatis tuae, non videbis faciem meam iam ex hac die, quoadusqueulciscar in genus illorum, qui ascenderunt ex Aegypto.	5 And thou, Achior, an hireling of Ammon, which hast spoken these words in the day of thine iniquity, shalt see my face no more from this day, until I take vengeance of this nation that came out of Egypt.
6 Et tunc pertransietferrum militiae meae et populus famulorum meorum latera tua, et cades cumvulneratis eorum, cum venero.	6 And then shall the sword of mine army, and the multitude of them that serve me, pass through thy sides, and thou shalt fall among their slain, when I return.
7 Et deducent te servi mei in montanam et ponentte in una civitatum ascensuum	7 Now therefore my servants shall bring thee back into the hill country, and shall set thee in one of the cities of the passages:
8 et non peries, donec extermineris cum eis.	8 And thou shalt not perish, till thou be destroyed with them.
9 Et,si speras corde tuo quoniam non capientur, non concidat facies tua. Locutus sum,et nihil decidet verborum meorum ”.	9 And if thou persuade thyself in thy mind that they shall be taken, let not thy countenance fall: I have spoken it, and none of my words shall be in vain.
10 Et praecepit Holofernes servis suis, qui erant adstantes in tabernaculo eius,ut comprehenderent Achior et ducerent eum in Betuliam et traderent in manusfiliorum Israel.	10 Then Holofernes commanded his servants, that waited in his tent, to take Achior, and bring him to Bethulia, and deliver him into the hands of the children of Israel.
11 Et comprehenderunt eum servi eius et duxerunt illum extracastra in campum et promoverunt ex medio campo in montanam et advenerunt adfontes, qui erant sub Betulia.	11 So his servants took him, and brought him out of the camp into the plain, and they went from the midst of the plain into the hill country, and came unto the fountains that were under Bethulia.
12 Et, ut viderunt eos viri civitatis superverticem montis, acceperunt arma sua et exierunt extra civitatem supra cacumenmontis, et omnis vir fundibalarius occupavit ascensus eorum et mittebat lapidessuper eos.	12 And when the men of the city saw them, they took up their weapons, and went out of the city to the top of the hill: and every man that used a sling kept them from coming up by casting of stones against them.
13 Et accedentes sub monte alligaverunt Achior et reliqueruntproiectum sub radice montis et reversi sunt ad dominum suum.	13 Nevertheless having gotten privily under the hill, they bound Achior, and cast him down, and left him at the foot of the hill, and returned to their lord.
14 Descendentesautem filii Israel de civitate sua adstiterunt ei et solventes eum perduxeruntin Betuliam et adduxerunt eum ad principes civitatis suae,	14 But the Israelites descended from their city, and came unto him, and loosed him, and brought him to Bethulia, and presented him to the governors of the city:
15 qui erant indiebus illis Ozias filius Michae de tribu Simeon et Chabris filius Gothoniel etCharmis filius Melchiel.	15 Which were in those days Ozias the son of Micha, of the tribe of Simeon, and Chabris the son of Gothoniel, and Charmis the son of Melchiel.
16 Et convocaverunt omnes seniores civitatis, etconcurrerunt omnes iuvenes eorum et mulieres et pueri eorum in ecclesiam; etstatuerunt Achior in medio omnis populi ipsorum, et interrogavit eum Ozias, quidcontigisset.	16 And they called together all the ancients of the city, and all their youth ran together, and their women, to the assembly, and they set Achior in the midst of all their people. Then Ozias asked him of that which was done.
17 Et respondens indicavit eis verba consilii Holofernis et omniaverba, quaecumque locutus est in medio principum filiorum Assyriae, etquaecumque magniverbatus est Holofernes adversus domum Israel.	17 And he answered and declared unto them the words of the council of Holofernes, and all the words that he had spoken in the midst of the princes of Assur, and whatsoever Holofernes had spoken proudly against the house of Israel.
18 Et procidensomnis populus adoraverunt Deum et clamaverunt dicentes:	18 Then the people fell down and worshipped God, and cried unto God. saying,
19 “ Domine, Deuscaeli, respice ad superbiam eorum et miserere humilitatis generis nostri etrespice ad faciem eorum, qui sanctificati sunt tibi in hac die ”.	19 O Lord God of heaven, behold their pride, and pity the low estate of our nation, and look upon the face of those that are sanctified unto thee this day.
20 Etconsolati sunt Achior et laudaverunt eum valde.	20 Then they comforted Achior, and praised him greatly.
21 Et suscepit eum Ozias deecclesia in domum suam et fecit cenam senioribus, et invocaverunt Deum Israel in adiutorium per totam noctem illam.	21 And Ozias took him out of the assembly unto his house, and made a feast to the elders; and they called on the God of Israel all that night for help.
