Єгда́ же по́здѣ бы́сть, потща́шася раби́ єго́ отити́, и ваго́а заключи́ шате́ръ отвнѣ́ и отпусти́ предстоя́щихъ от лица́ господи́на своєго́, и отидо́ша къ ло́жамъ свои́мъ, бя́ху бо вси́ утружде́ни, зане́ на мно́зѣ пребы́сть пи́ръ.
|
Now when the evening was come, his servants made haste to depart, and Bagoas shut his tent without, and dismissed the waiters from the presence of his lord; and they went to their beds: for they were all weary, because the feast had been long.
|
|

|

|
|
Оста́ся же Іуді́ѳъ єди́на въ шатрѣ́, и Олофе́рнъ пове́рженъ на ло́жи своє́мъ: бя́ше бо преиспо́лненъ віно́мъ.
|
And Judith was left alone in the tent, and Holofernes lying along on his bed: for he was filled with wine.
|
|

|
3
|
|
И рече́ Іуді́ѳъ рабѣ́ своє́й, да стои́тъ внѣ́ ло́жницы єя́ и да смо́тритъ исхо́да єя́ я́коже по вся́къ де́нь: рече́ бо, я́ко изы́ти и́мать на моли́тву свою́: и ваго́ю глаго́ла по словесе́мъ си́мъ.
|
Now Judith had commanded her maid to stand without her bedchamber, and to wait for her coming forth, as she did daily: for she said she would go forth to her prayers, and she spake to Bagoas according to the same purpose.
|
|

|
4
|
|
И отидо́ша вси́ от лица́ єя́, и ни єди́нъ оста́ся въ ло́жницѣ от ма́ла да́же до вели́ка. И ста́вши Іуді́ѳъ при одрѣ́ єго́, рече́ въ се́рдцы своє́мъ: Го́споди, Бо́же всея́ си́лы, при́зри въ ча́съ се́й на дѣла́ ру́къ мои́хъ ко возвыше́нію Ієрусали́ма,
|
So all went forth, and none was left in the bedchamber, neither little nor great. Then Judith, standing by his bed, said in her heart, O Lord God of all power, look at this present upon the work of mine hands for the exaltation of Jerusalem.
|

|

|
|
я́ко ны́нѣ́ вре́мя помоществова́ти наслѣ́дію Твоєму́ и соверши́ти начина́ніє моє́ ко сокруше́нію враго́въ, и́же воста́ша на на́съ.
|
For now is the time to help thine inheritance, and to execute my enterprise to the destruction of the enemies which are risen against us.
|
|

|

|
|
И приступи́вши къ сто́лпнику одра́, и́же бя́ше у главы́ Олофе́рновы, сня́тъ ме́чь єго́ съ него́,
|
Then she came to the pillar of the bed, which was at Holofernes' head, and took down his fauchion from thence,
|
|
7
|
7
|
|
и прибли́жившися ко одру́, взя́ въ го́рсть власы́ главы́ єго́ и рече́: укрѣпи́ мя, Го́споди Бо́же Ізра́илевъ, въ де́нь се́й.
|
and approached to his bed, and took hold of the hair of his head, and said, Strengthen me, O Lord God of Israel, this day.
|
|
8
|
8
|
|
И уда́ри въ вы́ю єго́ два́жды си́лою сво́єю, и отъя́ главу́ єго́ от него́,
|
And she smote twice upon his neck with all her might, and she took away his head from him,
|
|
9
|
9
|
|
и отвали́ тѣ́ло єго́ от посте́ли, и отъя́ завѣ́су от столпо́въ: и по ма́лѣ изы́де и предаде́ рабы́ни своє́й главу́ Олофе́рнову:
|
and tumbled his body down from the bed, and pulled down the canopy from the pillars; and anon after she went forth, and gave Holofernes his head to her maid;
|
|
10
|
10
|
|
и вложи́ ю́ въ мѣше́цъ снѣ́дей свои́хъ. И изыдо́стѣ о́бѣ ку́пно по обы́чаю своєму́ на моли́тву: и прошедшѣ по́лкъ, обыдо́стѣ де́брь о́ную, и взыдо́стѣ на го́ру Ветилу́и, и пріидостѣ ко врато́мъ єя́.
|
and she put it in her bag of meat: so they twain went together according to their custom unto prayer: and when they passed the camp, they compassed the valley, and went up the mountain of Bethulia, and came to the gates thereof.
|
|
11
|
11
|
|
И рече́ Іуді́ѳъ издале́ча стрегу́щымъ на вратѣ́хъ: отве́рзите ны́нѣ, отве́рзите врата́, съ на́ми Бо́гъ, Бо́гъ на́шъ, сотвори́ти єще́ крѣ́пость во Ізра́или и си́лу на враги́, я́коже и дне́сь сотвори́.
|
Then said Judith afar off to the watchmen at the gate, Open, open now the gate: God, even our God, is with us, to shew his power yet in Israel, and his strength against the enemy, as he hath even done this day.
|
|
12
|
12
|
|
И бы́сть я́ко услы́шаша му́жіє гра́да того́ гла́съ єя́, потща́шася сни́ти ко врато́мъ гра́да своєго́ и созва́ша ста́рцевъ гра́да.
|
Now when the men of her city heard her voice, they made haste to go down to the gate of their city, and they called the elders of the city.
|
|
13
|
13
|
|
И стеко́шася вси́ от ма́ла да́же до вели́ка, я́ко па́че ча́янія бѣ́ имъ, є́же пріити́ є́й, и отверзо́ша врата́ и воспрія́ша и́хъ: и вже́гше о́гнь во свѣще́ніє, окружи́ша и́хъ.
|
And then they ran all together, both small and great, for it was strange unto them that she was come: so they opened the gate, and received them, and made a fire for a light, and stood round about them.
|
|
14
|
14
|
|
Она́ же рече́ къ ни́мъ гла́сомъ вели́кимъ: хвали́те Бо́га, хвали́те: хвали́те Бо́га, И́же не отста́ви ми́лости Своєя́ от до́му Ізра́илева, но сокруши́ враги́ на́шя руко́ю моє́ю въ но́щь сію́.
|
Then she said to them with a loud voice, Praise, praise God, praise God, I say, for he hath not taken away his mercy from the house of Israel, but hath destroyed our enemies by mine hands this night.
|
|
15
|
15
|
|
И изе́мши главу́ изъ мѣшца́ показа́ и рече́ и́мъ: се́, глава́ Олофе́рна вождонача́лника си́лы Ассу́рскія, и се́, завѣ́са, за не́юже лежа́ше во пія́нствахъ свои́хъ, и порази́ єго́ Госпо́дь руко́ю же́нскою:
|
So she took the head out of the bag, and shewed it, and said unto them, Behold the head of Holofernes, the chief captain of the army of Assur, and behold the canopy, wherein he did lie in his drunkenness; and the Lord hath smitten him by the hand of a woman.
|
|
16
|
16
|
|
и жи́въ є́сть Госпо́дь, И́же сохрани́ мя въ пути́ моє́мъ, и́мже ходи́хъ, я́ко прельсти́ єго́ лице́ моє́ въ па́губу єго́, и не сотвори́ грѣха́ со мно́ю во оскверне́ніє и срамоту́.
|
As the Lord liveth, who hath kept me in my way that I went, my countenance hath deceived him to his destruction, and yet hath he not committed sin with me, to defile and shame me.
|
|
17
|
17
|
|
И ужасо́шася вси́ лю́діє зѣло́, и па́дше поклони́шася Бо́гу, и рѣ́ша єдиноду́шно: благослове́нъ єси́, Бо́же на́шъ, уничто́живый въ день се́й враги́ люді́й Твои́хъ.
|
Then all the people were wonderfully astonished, and bowed themselves, and worshipped God, and said with one accord, Blessed be thou, O our God, which hast this day brought to nought the enemies of thy people.
|
|
18
|
18
|
|
И рече́ є́й Озі́а: благослове́на ты́ єси́, дщи́, Бо́гомъ вы́шнимъ па́че всѣ́хъ же́нъ я́же на земли́, и благослове́нъ Госпо́дь Бо́гъ, И́же созда́ небеса́ и зе́млю, И́же упра́ви тя́ на сокруше́ніє главы́ кня́зя враго́въ на́шихъ:
|
Then said Ozias unto her, O daughter, blessed art thou of the most high God above all the women upon the earth; and blessed be the Lord God, which hath created the heavens and the earth, which hath directed thee to the cutting off of the head of the chief of our enemies.
|
|
19
|
19
|
|
я́ко не отста́нетъ наде́жда твоя́ от се́рдца человѣ́къ, помина́ющихъ крѣ́пость Бо́жію, да́же до вѣ́ка:
|
For this thy confidence shall not depart from the heart of men, which remember the power of God for ever.
|
|
20
|
20
|
|
и да сотвори́тъ тебѣ́ сія́ Бо́гъ въ возноше́ніє вѣ́чноє, є́же посѣща́ти тя́ во благи́хъ, за є́же не пощадѣ́ла єси́ души́ твоєя́ смире́нія ра́ди ро́да на́шего, но посо́бствовала єси́ паде́нію на́шему, въ правотѣ́ ходи́вши предъ Бо́гомъ на́шимъ. И рѣ́ша вси́ лю́діє: бу́ди, бу́ди.
|
And God turn these things to thee for a perpetual praise, to visit thee in good things, because thou hast not spared thy life for the affliction of our nation, but hast revenged our ruin, walking a straight way before our God. And all the people said, So be it, so be it.
