¹

Then Judith began to sing this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people sang after her this song of praise.

¹

И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: начни́те бг҃ꙋ моемꙋ̀ въ тѷмпа́нѣхъ, пойте гдⷭ҇еви моемꙋ̀ въ кѷмва́лѣхъ, кра́снѡ воспо́йте є҆мꙋ̀ пѣ́снь но́вꙋ, возноси́те и҆ призыва́йте и҆́мѧ є҆гѡ̀:

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.

²

ꙗ҆́кѡ бг҃ъ сокрꙋша́ѧй бра̑ни гдⷭ҇ь, ꙗ҆́кѡ во ѡ҆полченїихъ є҆гѡ̀ посредѣ̀ люді́й и҆з̾ѧ́тъ мѧ̀ и҆з̾ рꙋкѝ гонѧ́щихъ мѧ̀:

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.

³

прїи́де а҆ссꙋ́ръ и҆з̾ го́ръ ѿ сѣ́вера, прїи́де во тма́хъ си́лы своеѧ̀, и҆́хже мно́жество заградѝ и҆сто́чники, и҆ ко́нница и҆́хъ покры̀ хо́лмы:

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.

⁴

речѐ пожещѝ предѣ́лы моѧ̑, и҆ ю҆́ношы моѧ̑ оу҆би́ти мече́мъ, и҆ ссꙋ́щыѧ моѧ̑ положи́ти въ помо́стъ, и҆ младе́нцы моѧ̑ да́ти въ расхище́нїе, и҆ дѣ̑вы моѧ̑ плѣни́ти:

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.

⁵

гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель ѡ҆прове́рже и҆̀хъ рꙋко́ю жены̀,

⁶

But the Almighty Lord hath disappointed them by the hand of a woman.

⁶

не бо̀ падѐ си́льный и҆́хъ ѿ ю҆́ношъ, нижѐ сы́нове тїта́нѡвы порази́ша є҆го̀, нижѐ высо́цы и҆споли́ни нападо́ша на него̀, но і҆ꙋді́ѳъ дщѝ мера́рїна доброто́ю лица̀ своегѡ̀ разсла́би є҆го̀:

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.

⁷

совлече́сѧ бо ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїѧ вдовства̀ своегѡ̀ на возвыше́нїе бѣ́дствꙋющихъ во і҆и҃ли, пома́за лицѐ своѐ оу҆маще́нїемъ

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.

⁸

и҆ оу҆вѣнча̀ власы̀ своѧ̑ оу҆вѧ́сломъ и҆ прїѧ́тъ ѻ҆де́ждꙋ льнѧ́нꙋ въ прельще́нїе є҆гѡ̀:

⁹

Her sandals ravished his eyes, her beauty took his mind prisoner, and the fauchion passed through his neck.

⁹

санда́лїѧ є҆ѧ̀ похи́ти ѻ҆́ко є҆гѡ̀, и҆ добро́та є҆ѧ̀ плѣнѝ дꙋ́шꙋ є҆гѡ̀, про́йде ме́чь вы́ю є҆гѡ̀:

¹⁰

The Persians quaked at her boldness, and the Medes were daunted at her hardiness.

¹⁰

оу҆страши́шасѧ пе́рсы держа́вы є҆ѧ̀, и҆ ми́ды дерзнове́нїемъ є҆ѧ̀ разсѣдо́шасѧ:

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.

¹¹

тогда̀ воскли́кнꙋша смире́ннїи моѝ и҆ возопи́ша немощні́и моѝ, и҆ оу҆страши́шасѧ: вознесо́ша гла́съ сво́й, и҆ побѣжде́ни бы́ша:

¹²

The sons of the damsels have pierced them through, and wounded them as fugitives' children: they perished by the battle of my Lord.

¹²

сы́нове ѻ҆трокови́цъ бодо́ша и҆̀хъ и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ рабѡ́въ бѣглецѡ́въ оу҆ѧзвлѧ́хꙋ и҆̀хъ, погибо́ша ѿ ѡ҆полче́нїѧ гдⷭ҇а моегѡ̀:

¹³

I will sing unto my God a new song: O Lord, thou art great and glorious, wonderful in strength, and invincible.

¹³

воспою̀ гдⷭ҇еви моемꙋ̀ пѣ́снь но́вꙋ: гдⷭ҇и, ве́лїй є҆сѝ и҆ сла́венъ, ди́венъ въ крѣ́пости, непребори́мый,

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.

¹⁴

тебѣ̀ да рабо́таетъ всѧ́ка тва́рь твоѧ̀: ꙗ҆́кѡ ре́клъ є҆сѝ, и҆ бы́ша: посла́лъ є҆сѝ дх҃а твоего̀, и҆ созда̀: и҆ нѣ́сть, и҆́же противоста́нетъ гла́сꙋ твоемꙋ̀:

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.

¹⁵

го́ры бо ѿ ѡ҆снова́нїи съ вода́ми подви́гнꙋтсѧ, ка́менїе же ѿ лица̀ твоегѡ̀ ꙗ҆́кѡ во́скъ рата́етъ: над̾ боѧ́щимисѧ же тебє̀ ты̀ оу҆млⷭ҇тивлѧ́ешисѧ,

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.

¹⁶

ꙗ҆́кѡ ма́лѡ всѧ́ка же́ртва въ воню̀ благоꙋха́нїѧ, и҆ малѣ́йшїй всѧ́къ тꙋ́къ во всесожже́нїе тебѣ̀: боѧ́йсѧ же гдⷭ҇а вели́къ вы́нꙋ:

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.

¹⁷

го́ре ꙗ҆зы́кѡмъ востаю́щымъ на ро́дъ мо́й: гдⷭ҇ь вседержи́тель ѿмститъ и҆̀мъ въ де́нь сꙋ́дный, да́ти ѻ҆́гнь и҆ че́рвїе на плѡ́ти и҆́хъ, и҆ воспла́чꙋтсѧ въ чꙋ́вствѣ да́же до вѣ́ка.

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.

¹⁸

Є҆гда́ же внидо́ша во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мъ, поклони́шасѧ бг҃ꙋ: и҆ є҆гда̀ ѡ҆чи́стишасѧ лю́дїе, принесо́ша всесожега́ємаѧ своѧ̑ и҆ произвѡ́льнаѧ своѧ̑ и҆ да́ры своѧ̑.

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 God.

¹⁹

И҆ возложѝ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ всѧ̑ сосꙋ́ды ѻ҆лофе́рнѡвы, є҆ли̑ки дадо́ша лю́дїе є҆́й, и҆ завѣ́сꙋ, ю҆̀же взѧ̀ ѻ҆иа̀ ѿ ло́жницы є҆гѡ̀, въ да́ръ гдⷭ҇ꙋ дадѐ.

²⁰

So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for the space of three months, and Judith remained with them.

²⁰

И҆ бѧ́хꙋ лю́дїе веселѧ́щесѧ во і҆ерⷭ҇ли́мѣ пред̾ лице́мъ ст҃ы́хъ мцⷭ҇ы трѝ, и҆ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ съ ни́ми пребы́сть.

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.

²¹

По дне́хъ же си́хъ возврати́сѧ кі́йждо во наслѣ́дїе своѐ: и҆ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ ѿи́де во ветѵлꙋ́ю, и҆ пребыва́ше над̾ стѧжа́нїемъ свои́мъ, и҆ бы́сть во вре́мѧ своѐ сла́вна во все́й землѝ.

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.

²²

И҆ мно́зи жела́ша є҆ѧ̀, и҆ не позна̀ мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀ всѧ̑ дни̑ живота̀ є҆ѧ̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ оу҆́мре манассі́а мꙋ́жъ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ приложи́сѧ къ лю́демъ свои̑мъ.

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.

²³

И҆ произы́де вели́ка ѕѣ́лѡ̀, и҆ состарѣ́сѧ въ домꙋ̀ мꙋ́жа своегѡ̀ лѣ́тъ ста̀ пѧтѝ, и҆ ѿпꙋстѝ рабы́ню свою̀ свобо́днꙋ, и҆ оу҆́мре во ветѷлꙋ́и, и҆ погребо́ша ю҆̀ въ пеще́рѣ мꙋ́жа є҆ѧ̀ манассі́и.

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.

²⁴

И҆ пла́касѧ є҆ѧ̀ до́мъ і҆и҃левъ дні́й се́дмь. И҆ раздѣлѝ и҆мѣ̑нїѧ своѧ̑ пре́жде сме́рти своеѧ̀ всѣ̑мъ бли̑жнимъ манассі́и мꙋ́жа своегѡ̀ и҆ бли̑жнимъ ро́да своегѡ̀.

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.

²⁵

И҆ не бѧ́ше ктомꙋ̀ оу҆страша́ѧй сынѡ́въ і҆и҃левыхъ во дни̑ і҆ꙋді́ѳы и҆ по сме́рти є҆ѧ̀ дни̑ мнѡ́ги.
