Judith 15

1And when they that were in the tents heard, they were astonished at the thing that was done.Καὶ ὡς ἤκουσαν οἱ ἐν τοῖς σκηνώμασιν ὄντες, ἐξέστησαν ἐπὶ τὸ γεγονός·

2And fear and trembling fell upon them, so that there was no man that dared abide in the sight of his neighbor, but rushing out all together, they fled into every way of the plain, and of the hill country.καὶ ἐπέπεσεν ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς φόβος καὶ τρόμος, καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἄνθρωπος μένων κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ πλησίον ἔτι, ἀλλʼ ἐκχυθέντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἔφευγον ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὁδὸν τοῦ πεδίου καὶ τῆς ὀρεινῆς.

3They 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.Καὶ οἱ παρεμβεβληκότες ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ κύκλῳ Βετυλούα καὶ ἐτράπησαν εἰς φυγήν· καὶ τότε οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ πᾶς ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐξεχύθησαν ἐπʼ αὐτούς.

4Then 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.Καὶ ἀπέστειλεν Ὀζίας εἰς Βαιτομασθαῒμ, καὶ Χωβαῒ, καὶ Χωλὰ, καὶ εἰς πᾶν ὅριον Ἰσραὴλ, τοὺς ἀπαγγέλλοντας ὑπὲρ τῶν συντετελεσμένων, καὶ ἵνα πάντες ἐπεκχυθῶσι τοῖς πολεμίοις εἰς τὴν ἀναίρεσιν αὐτῶν.

5Now when the children of Israel heard it, they all fell upon them with one consent, and killed them to 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.Ὡς δὲ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ, πάντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπέπεσον ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἔκοπτον αὐτοὺς ἕως Χωβά. ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἐξ Ἱερουσαλὴμ παρεγενήθησαν καὶ ἐκ πάσης τῆς ὀρεινῆς· ἀνήγγειλαν γὰρ αὐτοῖς τὰ γεγονότα τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν· καὶ οἱ ἐν Γαλαὰδ καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ ὑπερεκέρασαν αὐτοὺς πληγῇ μεγάλῃ, ἕως οὗ παρῆλθον Δαμασκὸν, καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς.

6And the residue that lived at Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur, and spoiled them, and were greatly enriched.Οἱ δὲ λοιποὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Βετυλούα, ἐπέπεσαν τῇ παρεμβολῇ Ἀσσοὺρ, καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν αὐτοὺς, καὶ ἐπλούτησαν σφόδρα.

7And 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, got many spoils: for the multitude was very great.Οἱ δὲ υἱοὶ Ἰσραὴλ ἀναστρέψαντες ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς, ἐκυρίευσαν τῶν λοιπῶν, καὶ αἱ κῶμαι καὶ ἐπαύλεις ἐν τῇ ὀρείνῃ καὶ πεδινῇ ἐκράτησαν πολλῶν λαφύρων· ἦν γὰρ πλῆθος πολὺ σφόδρα.

8Then Joacim the high priest, and the ancients of the children of Israel that lived in Jerusalem, came to behold the good things that God had showed to Israel, and to see Judith, and to salute her.Καὶ Ἰωακὶμ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας καὶ ἡ γερουσία τῶν υἱῶν Ἰσραὴλ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἦλθον τοῦ θεάσασθαι τὰ ἀγαθὰ ἃ ἐποίησε Κύριος τῷ Ἰσραήλ, καὶ τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν Ἰουδὶθ, καὶ λαλῆσαι μετʼ αὐτῆς εἰρήνην.

9And when they came to her, they blessed her with one accord, and said to her, You are the exaltation of Jerusalem, you are the great glory of Israel, you are the great rejoicing of our nation:Ὡς δὲ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς αὐτὴν, εὐλόγησαν αὐτὴν πάντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν, καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτὴν, σὺ ὕψωμα Ἰσραὴλ, σὺ γαυρίαμα μέγα τοῦ Ἰσραὴλ, σὺ καύχημα μέγα τοῦ γένους ἡμῶν.

10You have done all these things by your hand: you have done much good to Israel, and God is pleased therewith: blessed be you of the Almighty Lord for evermore. And all the people said, So be it.Ἐποίησας πάντα ταῦτα ἐν χειρί σου, ἐποίησας τὰ ἀγαθὰ μετὰ Ἰσραήλ· καὶ εὐδοκήσαι ἐπʼ αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεός· εὐλογημένη γίνου παρὰ τῷ παντοκράτορι Κυρίῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον· καὶ εἶπε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς, γένοιτο.

11And the people spoiled the camp the space of thirty days: and they gave to 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.Καὶ ἐλαφύρευσε πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἐφʼ ἡμέρας τριάκοντα, καὶ ἔδωκαν τῇ Ἰουδὶθ τὴν σκηνὴν Ὀλοφέρνου, καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀργυρώματα, καὶ τὰς κλίνας καὶ τὰ ὅλκια· καὶ πάντα τὰ σκευάσματα αὐτοῦ· καὶ λαβοῦσα αὕτη ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔζευξε τὰς ἁμάξας αὐτῆς, καὶ ἐσώρευσεν αὐτὰ ἐπʼ αὐτῶν.

12Then 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.Καὶ συνέδραμε πᾶσα γυνὴ Ἰσραὴλ τοῦ ἰδεῖν αὐτὴν, καὶ εὐλόγησαν αὐτήν· καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῇ χορὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν· καὶ ἔλαβε θύρσους ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς, καὶ ἔδωκε ταῖς γυναιξὶ ταῖς μετʼ αὐτῆς,

13And 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 armor with garlands, and with songs in their mouths.καὶ ἐστεφανώσαντο τὴν ἐλαίαν αὕτη καὶ αἱ μετʼ αὐτῆς· καὶ προῆλθε παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν χορείᾳ ἡγουμένη πασῶν τῶν γυναικῶν, καὶ ἠκολούθει πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ἰσραὴλ ἐνωπλισμένοι μετὰ στεφάνων καὶ ὕμνων ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν.
