[1] Judith said to them, “Hear me now, my kindred, and take this head, and hang it upon the battlement of your wall. [2] It will be, so soon as the morning appears, and the sun comes up on the earth, you shall each take up his weapons of war, and every valiant man of you go out of the city. You shall set a captain over them, as though you would go down to the plain toward the watch of the children of Asshur; but you men shall not go down. [3] These will take up their full armor, and shall go into their camp and rouse up the captains of the army of Asshur. They will run together to Holofernes’ tent. They won’t find him. Fear will fall upon them, and they will flee before your face. [4] You men, and all that inhabit every border of Israel, shall pursue them and overthrow them as they go. [5] But before you do these things, summon Achior the Ammonite to me, that he may see and know him that despised the house of Israel, and that sent him to us, as it were to death. [6] And they called Achior out of the house of Ozias; but when he came, and saw the head of Holofernes in a man’s hand in the assembly of the people, he fell upon his face, and his spirit failed. [7] But when they had recovered him,‡ he fell at Judith’s feet, bowed down to her, and said, “Blessed are you in every tent of Judah! In every nation, those who hear your name will be troubled. [8] Now tell me all the things that you have done in these days.”And Judith declared to him in the midst of the people all the things that she had done, from the day that she went out until the time that she spoke to them. [9] But when she finished speaking, the people shouted with a loud voice, and made a joyful noise in their city. [10] But when Achior saw all the things that the God of Israel had done, he believed in God exceedingly, and circumcised the flesh of his foreskin, and was joined to the house of Israel, to this day. [11] But as soon as the morning arose, they hanged the head of Holofernes upon the wall, and every man took up his weapons, and they went forth by bands to the ascents of the mountain. [12] But when the children of Asshur saw them, they sent word to their leaders, and they went to their captains and tribunes, and to every one of their rulers. [13] They came to Holofernes’ tent, and said to him that was over all that he had, “Wake our lord up, now, for the slaves have been bold to come down against us to battle, that they may be utterly destroyed.” [14] Bagoas went in, and knocked at the outer door of the tent; for he supposed that Holofernes was sleeping with Judith. [15] But when no one answered, he opened it, went into the bedchamber, and found him cast upon the threshold dead; and his head had been taken from him. [16] He cried with a loud voice, with weeping, groaning, and shouting, and tore his garments. [17] He entered into the tent where Judith lodged, and he didn’t find her. He leaped out to the people, and cried aloud, [18] “The slaves have dealt treacherously! One woman of the Hebrews has brought shame upon the house of King Nebuchadnezzar; for, behold, Holofernes lies upon the ground, and his head is not on him!” [19] But when the rulers of the army of Asshur heard this, they tore their tunics, and their souls were troubled exceedingly. There were cries and an exceedingly great noise in the midst of the camp.

G846 [5] Πρὸ G4253 δὲ G1161 τοῦ G3588 ποιῆσαι G4160 ταῦτα G5023 καλέσατέ G2564 μοι G3427 Αχιωρ τὸν G3588 Αμμανίτην, ἵνα G2443 ἰδὼν G1492 ἐπιγνοῖ G1921 τὸν G3588 ἐκφαυλίσαντα τὸν G3588 οἶκον G3624 τοῦ G3588 Ισραηλ G2474 καὶ G2532 αὐτὸν G846 ὡς G5613 εἰς G1519 θάνατον G2288 ἀποστείλαντα G649 εἰς G1519 ἡμᾶς. G2248 [6] Καὶ G2532 ἐκάλεσαν G2564 τὸν G3588 Αχιωρ ἐκ G1537 τοῦ G3588 οἴκου G3624 Οζια· G3604 ὡς G5613 δὲ G1161 ἦλθεν G2064 καὶ G2532 εἶδεν G1492 τὴν G3588 κεφαλὴν G2776 Ολοφέρνου ἐν G1722 χειρὶ G5495 ἀνδρὸς G435 ἑνὸς G1520 ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 ἐκκλησίᾳ G1577 τοῦ G3588 λαοῦ, G2992 ἔπεσεν G4098 ἐπὶ G1909 πρόσωπον, G4383 καὶ G2532 ἐξελύθη G1590 τὸ G3588 πνεῦμα G4151 αὐτοῦ. G846 [7] Ὡς G5613 δὲ G1161 ἀνέλαβον G353 αὐτόν, G846 προσέπεσεν G4363 τοῖς G3588 ποσὶν G4228 Ιουδιθ καὶ G2532 προσεκύνησεν G4352 τῷ G3588 προσώπῳ G4383 αὐτῆς G846 καὶ G2532 εἶπεν G2036 Εὐλογημένη G2127 σὺ G4771 ἐν G1722 παντὶ G3956 σκηνώματι G4638 Ιουδα καὶ G2532 ἐν G1722 παντὶ G3956 ἔθνει, G1484 οἵτινες G3748 ἀκούσαντες G191 τὸ G3588 ὄνομά G3686 σου G4675 ταραχθήσονται· G5015 [8] καὶ G2532 νῦν G3568 ἀνάγγειλόν G312 μοι G3427 ὅσα G3745 ἐποίησας G4160 ἐν G1722 ταῖς G3588 ἡμέραις G2250 ταύταις. G3778 Καὶ G2532 ἀπήγγειλεν G518 αὐτῷ G846 Ιουδιθ ἐν G1722 μέσῳ G3319 τοῦ G3588 λαοῦ G2992 πάντα, G3956 ὅσα G3745 ἦν G2258 πεποιηκυῖα G4160 ἀφ’ G575 ἧς G3739 ἡμέρας G2250 ἐξῆλθεν G1831 ἕως G2193 οὗ G3739 ἐλάλει G2980 αὐτοῖς. G846 [9] Ὡς G5613 δὲ G1161 ἐπαύσατο G3973 λαλοῦσα, G2980 ἠλάλαξεν G214 ὁ G3588 λαὸς G2992 φωνῇ G5456 μεγάλῃ G3173 καὶ G2532 ἔδωκεν G1325 φωνὴν G5456 εὐφρόσυνον ἐν G1722 τῇ G3588 πόλει G4172 αὐτῶν. G846 [10] Ἰδὼν G1492 δὲ G1161 Αχιωρ πάντα, G3956 ὅσα G3745 ἐποίησεν G4160 ὁ G3588 θεὸς G2316 τοῦ G3588 Ισραηλ, G2474 ἐπίστευσεν G4100 τῷ G3588 θεῷ G2316 σφόδρα G4970 καὶ G2532 περιετέμετο G4059 τὴν G3588 σάρκα G4561 τῆς G3588 ἀκροβυστίας G203 αὐτοῦ G846 καὶ G2532 προσετέθη G4369 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 οἶκον G3624 Ισραηλ G2474 ἕως G2193 τῆς G3588 ἡμέρας G2250 ταύτης. G3778 [11] Ἡνίκα G2259 δὲ G1161 ὁ G3588 ὄρθρος G3722 ἀνέβη, G305 καὶ G2532 ἐκρέμασαν G2910 τὴν G3588 κεφαλὴν G2776 Ολοφέρνου ἐκ G1537 τοῦ G3588 τείχους, G5038 καὶ G2532 ἀνέλαβεν G353 πᾶς G3956 ἀνὴρ G435 τὰ G3588 ὅπλα G3696 αὐτοῦ G846 καὶ G2532 ἐξήλθοσαν G1831 κατὰ G2596 σπείρας G4686 ἐπὶ G1909 τὰς G3588 ἀναβάσεις τοῦ G3588 ὄρους. G3735 [12] Οἱ G3588 δὲ G1161 υἱοὶ G5207 Ασσουρ ὡς G5613 εἶδον G1492 αὐτούς, G846 διέπεμψαν ἐπὶ G1909 τοὺς G3588 ἡγουμένους G2233 αὐτῶν· G846 οἱ G3588 δὲ G1161 ἦλθον G2064 ἐπὶ G1909 τοὺς G3588 στρατηγοὺς G4755 καὶ G2532 χιλιάρχους G5506 καὶ G2532 ἐπὶ G1909 πάντα G3956 ἄρχοντα G758 αὐτῶν. G846 [13] Καὶ G2532 παρεγένοντο G3854 ἐπὶ G1909 τὴν G3588 σκηνὴν G4633 Ολοφέρνου καὶ G2532 εἶπαν G2036 τῷ G3588 ὄντι G5607 ἐπὶ G1909 πάντων G3956 τῶν G3588 αὐτοῦ G846 Ἔγειρον G1453 δὴ G1211 τὸν G3588 κύριον G2962 ἡμῶν, G2257 ὅτι G3754 ἐτόλμησαν G5111 οἱ G3588 δοῦλοι G1401 καταβαίνειν G2597 ἐφ’ G1909 ἡμᾶς G2248 εἰς G1519 πόλεμον, G4171 ἵνα G2443 ἐξολεθρευθῶσιν G1842 εἰς G1519 τέλος. G5056 [14] Καὶ G2532 εἰσῆλθεν G1525 Βαγώας καὶ G2532 ἔκρουσε G2925 τὴν G3588 αὐλαίαν τῆς G3588 σκηνῆς· G4633 ὑπενόει G5282 γὰρ G1063 καθεύδειν G2518 αὐτὸν G846 μετὰ G3326 Ιουδιθ. [15] Ὡς G5613 δ’ G1161 οὐθεὶς G3762 ἐπήκουσεν, G1873 διαστείλας G1291 εἰσῆλθεν G1525 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 κοιτῶνα G2846 καὶ G2532 εὗρεν G2147 αὐτὸν G846 ἐπὶ G1909 τῆς G3588 χελωνίδος ἐρριμμένον G4496 νεκρόν, G3498 καὶ G2532 ἡ G3588 κεφαλὴ G2776 αὐτοῦ G846 ἀφῄρητο G851 ἀπ’ G575 αὐτοῦ. G846 [16] Καὶ G2532 ἐβόησεν G994 φωνῇ G5456 μεγάλῃ G3173 μετὰ G3326 κλαυθμοῦ G2805 καὶ G2532 στεναγμοῦ G4726 καὶ G2532 βοῆς G995 ἰσχυρᾶς G2478 καὶ G2532 διέρρηξεν G1284 τὰ G3588 ἱμάτια G2440 αὐτοῦ. G846 [17] Καὶ G2532 εἰσῆλθεν G1525 εἰς G1519 τὴν G3588 σκηνήν, G4633 οὗ G3757 ἦν G2258 Ιουδιθ καταλύουσα, G2647 καὶ G2532 οὐχ G3756 εὗρεν G2147 αὐτήν· G846 καὶ G2532 ἐξεπήδησεν εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 λαὸν G2992 καὶ G2532 ἐβόησεν G994 [18] Ἠθέτησαν G114 οἱ G3588 δοῦλοι, G1401 ἐποίησεν G4160 αἰσχύνην G152 μία G3391 γυνὴ G1135 τῶν G3588 Εβραίων G1445 εἰς G1519 τὸν G3588 οἶκον G3624 τοῦ G3588 βασιλέως G935 Ναβουχοδονοσορ· ὅτι G3754 ἰδοὺ G2400 Ολοφέρνης χαμαί, G5476 καὶ G2532 ἡ G3588 κεφαλὴ G2776 οὐκ G3756 ἔστιν G2076 ἐπ’ G1909 αὐτῷ. G846 [19] Ὡς G5613 δὲ G1161 ἤκουσαν G191 ταῦτα G5023 τὰ G3588 ῥήματα G4487 οἱ G3588 ἄρχοντες G758 τῆς G3588 δυνάμεως G1411 Ασσουρ, τοὺς G3588 χιτῶνας G5509 αὐτῶν G846 διέρρηξαν, G1284 καὶ G2532 ἐταράχθη G5015 αὐτῶν G846 ἡ G3588 ψυχὴ G5590 σφόδρα, G4970 καὶ G2532 ἐγένετο G1096 αὐτῶν G846 κραυγὴ G2906 καὶ G2532 βοὴ G995 μεγάλη G3173 σφόδρα G4970 ἐν G1722 μέσῳ G3319 τῆς G3588 παρεμβολῆς.
