15 — Giuditta

1And when all the army heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fled from them, and being seized with trembling and fear they thought only to save themselves by flight.E quando tutto l'esercito fu informato, come era stato tagliato il capo ad Oloferne, rimasero senza ragione, e senza consiglio, e spinti sol dalla paura, e dallo sbigottimento, cercavano scampo col darsi alla fuga,AND when al the armie heard that Holofernes was beheaded, courage and counsel fel from them, and being shaken with trembling onlie and feare, they helpe them selues by flight,Cumque omnis exercitus decollatum Holofernem audisset, fugit mens et consilium ab eis, et solo tremore et metu agitati, fugæ præsidium sumunt, 2So that no one spoke to his neighbour, but hanging down the head, leaving all things behind, they made haste to escape from the Hebrews, who, as they heard, were coming armed upon them, and fled by the ways of the fields, and the paths of the hills.Di tal maniera, che nissuno fiatava col suo vicino, ma a capo chino, abbandonate tutte le cose loro si affrettavano per ischivare gli Ebrei, i quali sentivano venire armati sopra di loro, e fuggivano per le strade delle campagne, e pe' sentieri delle colline,so that none spake with his neighbour, but hanging the head, al thinges leaft behind, they made hast to escape the Hebrewes, whom they heard to come armed vpon them, fleing by the waies of the fieldes, and the pathes of the hilles.ita ut nullus loqueretur cum proximo suo, sed inclinato capite, relictis omnibus, evadere festinabant Hebræos, quos armatos super se venire audiebant, fugientes per vias camporum et semitas collium. 3So the children of Israel seeing them fleeing, followed after them. And they went down sounding with trumpets and shouting after them.Adunque i figliuoli d'Israele allorchè li videro in fuga, gli inseguirono, e calarono sonando le trombe, e urlando dietro ad essi.The children of Israel therfore seing them fleing, folowed them. And they went downe sounding with trumpettes, and shouting after them.Videntes itaque filii Israël fugientes, secuti sunt illos. Descenderuntque clangentes tubis, et ululantes post ipsos. 4And because the Assyrians were not united together, they went without order in their flight; but the children of Israel pursuing in one body, defeated all that they could find.E poichè gli Assiri sparpagliati fuggivano a rompicollo, e i figliuoli d'Israele gl'inseguivano uniti in un sol corpo, ne trucidavano quanti ne trovavano.And because the Assyrians were not vnited together, they went headlong into flight: but the children of Israel pursewing in one companie, discomfited al that they could find.Et quoniam Assyrii non adunati, in fugam ibant præcipites: filii autem Israël uno agmine persequentes debilitabant omnes quos invenire potuissent.

5And Ozias sent messengers through all the cities and countries of Israel.E Ozia spedì messi in tutte le città, e luoghi d'Israele:Ozias therfore sent messengers through al the cities and countries of Israel.Misit itaque Ozias nuntios per omnes civitates et regiones Israël. 6And every country, and every city, sent their chosen young men armed after them, and they pursued them with the edge of the sword until they came to the extremities of their confines.E da tutti i luoghi, e da tutte le città uscì dietro ai nemici la scelta gioventù in arme, e facendone strage gli inseguì sino agli ultimi confini del paese.Euerie countrie therfore, and euerie citie sent chosen youth armed after them, and they pursewed them in the edge of the sword, vntil they came to the extremetie of their borders.Omnis itaque regio, omnisque urbs electam juventutem armatam misit post eos, et persecuti sunt eos in ore gladii, quousque pervenirent ad extremitatem finium suorum. 7And the rest that were in Bethulia went into the camp of the Assyrians, and took away the spoils which the Assyrians in their flight had left behind them, and they were laden exceedingly,Quelli poi, che erano rimasi in Betulia entrarono nel campo degli Assiri, e ne portaron via la preda lasciata da gli Assiri quando si misero in fuga e si caricarono grandemente.And the rest that were in Bethulia, entered into the campe of the Assyrians, and tooke away the praye, which the Assyrians fleing had leaft, and were loden excedingly.Reliqui autem qui erant in Bethulia, ingressi sunt castra Assyriorum, et prædam quam fugientes Assyrii reliquerant, abstulerunt, et onustati sunt valde. 8But they that returned conquerors to Bethulia, brought with them all things that were theirs, so that there was no numbering of their cattle, and beasts, and all their moveables, insomuch that from the least to the greatest all were made rich by their spoils.Ma questi, i quali dalla sconfitta dei nemici tornarono a Betulia, portaron seco tutto quello, che era stato degli Assiri, talmente che non potea contarsi il bestiame minuto, i giumenti, e tutte le loro suppellettili per la qual cosa tutti e piccoli, e grandi si arricchirono delle spoglie di essi.But they that were returned conquerers to Bethulia, tooke away with them al thinges that were theirs, so that there was no number in cattel, and beastes, and al their moueables, that from the leaft vnto the greatest al were made rich of their prayes.Hi vero qui victores reversi sunt ad Bethuliam, omnia quæ erant illorum attulerunt secum, ita ut non esset numerus in pecoribus et jumentis et universis mobilibus eorum, ut a minimo usque ad maximum omnes divites fierent de prædationibus eorum.

9And Joachim the high priest came from Jerusalem to Bethulia with all his ancients to see Judith.E Joacim Sommo Sacerdote si portò da Gerusalemme a Betulia con tutti gli anziani per vedere Giuditta.And Ioachim the high Priest came from Ierusalem into Bethulia with al his ancientes to see Iudith.Joacim autem summus pontifex de Jerusalem venit in Bethuliam cum universis presbyteris suis ut videret Judith. 10And when she was come out to him, they all blessed her with one voice, saying: Thou art the glory of Jerusalem, thou art the joy of Israel, thou art the honour of our people:Ed essendo ella andata ad incontrarli, la benedissero tutti ad una voce dicendo: Tu gloria di Gerusalemme, tu letizia d'Israele, onore del popol nostro.Who when she was come out to him, they al blessed her with one voyce, saying: Thou art the glorie of Ierusalem, thou the ioy of Israel, thou the honour of our people:Quæ cum exisset ad illum, benedixerunt eam omnes una voce, dicentes: Tu gloria Jerusalem; tu lætitia Israël; tu honorificentia populi nostri: 11For thou hast done manfully, and thy heart has been strengthened, because thou hast loved chastity, and after thy husband hast not known any other: therefore also the hand of the Lord hath strengthened thee, and therefore thou shalt be blessed for ever.Perocchè virilmente hai operato, e hai avuto un cuore costante, perchè hai amata la castità, e dopo il tuo marito non hai conosciuto altro uomo: per questo ancora la mano del Signore ti ha fatta forte, e per questo sarai benedetta in eterno.because thou hast done manfully, and thy hart was strengthened, for that thou hast loued chastirie, and after thy husband not knowne any other: therfore also the hand of our Lord hath strengthened thee, and therfore shalt thou be blessed for euer.quia fecisti viriliter, et confortatum est cor tuum, eo quod castitatem amaveris, et post virum tuum, alterum nescieris: ideo et manus Domini confortavit te, et ideo eris benedicta in æternum. 12And all the people said: So be it, so be it.E tutto il popolo disse: Così sia, così sia.And al the people sayd: So be it, so be it.Et dixit omnis populus: Fiat, fiat. 13And thirty days were scarce sufficient for the people of Israel to gather up the spoils of the Assyrians.Or appena in trenta giorni potè il popolo d'Israele raccorre le spoglie degli Assiri.And for thirtie daies, scarse were the spoyles of the Assyrians gathered of the people of Israel.Per dies autem triginta, vix collecta sunt spolia Assyriorum a populo Israël.

14But all those things that were proved to be the peculiar goods of Holofernes, they gave to Judith in gold, and silver, and garments and precious stones, and all household stuff, and they all were delivered to her by the people.Ma tutte quelle cose, che si conobbe essere state proprie di Oloferne, oro, argento, vestimenta, gemme, e mobili di ogni specie, lo riserbarono per Giuditta, e tutte a lei furon date dal popolo.Moreouer al thinges, that were proued to be the peculiar goodes of Holofernes, they gaue to Iudith in gold, and siluer, and garmentes, and pretious stones, and al stuffe, and al the thinges were deliuered her of the people.Porro autem universa quæ Holofernis peculiaria fuisse probata sunt, dederunt Judith in auro, et argento, et vestibus, et gemmis, et omni supellectili: et tradita sunt omnia illi a populo. 15And all the people rejoiced, with the women, and virgins, and young men, playing on instruments and harps.E tutti gli uomini erano in festa colle donne, e colle vergini, e coi giovani, sonando organi, e cetre.And al the people reioysed with wemen, and virgins, and yongmen, on instrumentes and harpes.Et omnes populi gaudebant cum mulieribus, et virginibus, et juvenibus, in organis et citharis.
