Septuagint (Brenton Greek text, with Apocrypha)
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ὀλοφέρνης, θάρσησον γύναι, μὴ φοβηθῇς τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, ὅτι ἐγὼ οὐκ ἐκάκωσα ἄνθρωπον ὅστις ᾑρέτικε δουλεύειν βασιλεῖ Ναβουχοδονόσορ πάσης τῆς γῆς.
1Then Holofernes said to her: Be of good comfort, and fear not in thy heart: for I have never hurt a man that was willing to serve Nabuchodonosor the king.
2Καὶ νῦν ὁ λαός σου ὁ κατοικῶν τὴν ὀρεινὴν, εἰ μὴ ἐφαύλισάν με, οὐκ ἂν ᾖρα τὸ δόρυ μου ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, ἀλλʼ αὐτοὶ ἑαυτοῖς ἐποίησαν ταῦτα.
2And if thy people had not despised me, I would never have lifted up my spear against them.
3Καὶ νῦν λέγε μοι, τίνος ἕνεκεν ἀπέδρας ἀπʼ αὐτῶν, καὶ ἦλθες πρὸς ἡμᾶς; ἥκεις γὰρ εἰς σωτηρίαν· θάρσει, ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ ζήσῃ, καὶ εἰς τὸ λοιπόν.
3But now tell me, for what cause hast thou left them, and why it hath pleased thee to come to us?
4Οὐ γάρ ἐστιν ὃς ἀδικήσει σε, ἀλλʼ εὖ σε ποιήσει, καθὰ γίνεται τοῖς δούλοις τοῦ κυρίου μου βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ.
4And Judith said to him: Receive the words of thy handmaid, for if thou wilt follow the words of thy handmaid, the Lord will do with thee a perfect thing.
5Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν Ἰουδίθ, δέξαι τὰ ῥήματα τῆς δούλης σου, καὶ λαλησάτω ἡ παιδίσκη σου κατὰ πρόσωπόν σου, καὶ οὐκ ἀναγγελῶ ψεῦδος τῷ κυρίῳ μου ἐν τῇ νυκτὶ ταύτῃ.
5For as Nabuchodonosor the king of the earth liveth, and his power liveth which is in thee for chastising of all straying souls: not only men serve him through thee, but also the beasts of the field obey him.
6Καὶ ἐὰν κατακολουθήσῃς τοῖς λόγοις τῆς παιδίσκης σου, τελείως πρᾶγμα ποιήσει μετὰ σοῦ ὁ Θεὸς, καὶ οὐκ ἀποπεσεῖται ὁ κύριός μου τῶν ἐπιτηδευμάτων αὐτοῦ.
6For the industry of thy mind is spoken of among all nations, and it is told through the whole world, that thou only art excellent, and mighty in all his kingdom, and thy discipline is cried up in all provinces.
7Ζῇ γὰρ βασιλεὺς Ναβουχοδονόσορ πάσης τῆς γῆς, καὶ ζῇ τὸ κράτος αὐτοῦ, ὃς ἀπέστειλέ σε εἰς κατόρθωσιν πάσης ψυχῆς, ὅτι οὐ μόνον ἄνθρωποι διὰ σὲ δουλεύουσιν αὐτῷ, ἀλλὰ καὶ τὰ θηρία τοῦ ἀγροῦ, καὶ τὰ κτήνη, καὶ τὰ πετεινὰ τοῦ οὐρανοῦ διὰ τῆς ἰσχύος σου ζήσονται ἐπὶ Ναβουχοδονόσορ, καὶ πάντα τὸν οἶκον αὐτοῦ.
7It is known also what Achior said, nor are we ignorant of what thou hast commanded to be done to him.
8Ἠκούσαμεν γὰρ τὴν σοφίαν σου, καὶ τὰ πανουργεύματα τῆς ψυχῆς σου, καὶ ἀνηγγέλη πάσῃ τῇ γῇ, ὅτι σὺ μόνος ἀγαθὸς ἐν πάσῃ βασιλείᾳ, καὶ δυνατὸς ἐν ἐπιστήμῃ, καὶ θαυμαστὸς ἐν στρατεύμασι πολέμου.
8For it is certain that our God is so offended with sins, that he hath sent word by his prophets to the people, that he will deliver them up for their sins.
9Καὶ νῦν ὁ λόγος ὃν ἐλάλησεν Ἀχιὼρ ἐν τῇ συνεδρείᾳ σου, ἠκούσαμεν τὰ ῥήματα αὐτοῦ, ὅτι περιεποιήσαντο αὐτὸν οἱ ἄνδρες Βετυλούα, καὶ ἀνήγγειλεν αὐτοῖς πάντα ὅσα ἐξελάλησε παρὰ σοί.
9And because the children of Israel know they have offended their God, thy dread is upon them.
10Διὸ, δέσποτα κύριε, μὴ παρέλθῃς τὸν λόγον αὐτοῦ, ἀλλὰ κατάθου αὐτὸν ἐν τῇ καρδίᾳ σου, ὅτι ἀληθής ἐστιν· οὐ γὰρ ἐκδικᾶται τὸ γένος ἡμῶν, οὐ κατισχύει ῥομφαία ἐπʼ αὐτοὺς, ἐὰν μὴ ἁμάρτωσιν εἰς τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν.
10Moreover also a famine hath come upon them, and for drought of water they are already to be counted among the dead.
11Καὶ νῦν ἵνα μὴ γένηται ὁ κύριός μου εκβολος καὶ ἄπρακτος, καὶ ἐπιπεσεῖται θάνατος ἐπὶ πρόσωπον αὐτῶν, καὶ κατελάβετο αὐτοὺς ἁμάρτημα ἐν ᾧ παροργιοῦσι τὸν Θεὸν αὐτῶν, ὁπηνίκα ἂν ποιήσωσιν ἀτοπίαν.
11And they have a design even to kill their cattle, and to drink the blood of them.
12Ἐπεὶ γὰρ ἐξέλιπεν αὐτοὺς τὰ βρώματα, καὶ ἐσπανίσθη πᾶν ὕδωρ, ἐβουλεύσαντο ἐπιβαλεῖν τοῖς κτήνεσιν αὐτῶν, καὶ πάντα ὅσα διεστείλατο αὐτοῖς ὁ Θεὸς ἐν τοῖς νόμοις αὐτοῦ μὴ φαγεῖν, διέγνωσαν δαπανῆσαι.
12And the consecrated things of the Lord their God which God forbade them to touch, in corn, wine, and oil, these have they purposed to make use of, and they design to consume the things which they ought not to touch with their hands: therefore because they do these things, it is certain they will be given up to destruction.
13Καὶ τὰς ἀπαρχὰς τοῦ σίτου, καὶ τὰς δεκάτας τοῦ οἴνου καὶ τοῦ ἐλαίου, ἃ διεφύλαξαν ἁγιάσαντες τοῖς ἱερεῦσι τοῖς παρεστηκόσιν ἐν Ἱερουσαλὴμ ἀπέναντι τοῦ προσώπου τοῦ Θεοῦ ἡμῶν, κεκρίκασιν ἐξαναλῶσαι, ὧν οὐδὲ ταῖς χερσὶ καθῆκεν ἅψασθαι οὐδένα τῶν ἐκ τοῦ λαοῦ.
13And I thy handmaid knowing this, am fled from them, and the Lord hath sent me to tell thee these very things.
14Καὶ ἀπεστάλκασιν εἰς Ἱερουσαλὴμ, ὅτι καὶ οἱ ἐκεῖ κατοικοῦντες ἐποίησαν ταῦτα, τοὺς μετοικίσαντας αὐτοῖς τὴν ἄφεσιν παρὰ τῆς γερουσίας.
14For I thy handmaid worship God even now that I am with thee, and thy handmaid will go out, and I will pray to God,
15Καὶ ἔσται ὡς ἂν ἀναγγείλῃ αὐτοῖς καὶ ποιήσωσιν, δοθήσονταί σοι εἰς ὄλεθρον ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ἐκείνῃ.
15And he will tell me when he will repay them for their sins, and I will come and tell thee, so that I may bring thee through the midst of Jerusalem, and thou shalt have all the people of Israel, as sheep that have no shepherd, and there shall not so much as one dog bark against thee:
16Ὅθεν ἐγὼ ἡ δούλη σου ἐπιγνοῦσα ταῦτα πάντα, ἀπέδρων ἀπὸ προσώπου αὐτῶν· καὶ ἀπέστειλέ με ὁ Θεὸς ποιῆσαι μετὰ σοῦ πράγματα, ἐφʼ οἷς ἐκστήσεται πᾶσα ἡ γῆ ὅσοι ἐὰν ἀκούσωσιν αὐτά.
16Because these things are told me by the providence of God.
17Ὅτι ἡ δούλη σου θεοσεβής ἐστι, καὶ θεραπεύουσα νυκτὸς καὶ ἡμέρας τὸν Θεὸν τοῦ οὐρανοῦ· καὶ νῦν μενῶ παρὰ σοί, κύριέ μου, καὶ ἐξελεύσεται ἡ δούλη σου κατὰ νύκτα εἰς τὴν φάραγγα, καὶ προσεύξομαι πρὸς τὸν Θεόν· καὶ ἐρεῖ μοι πότε ἐποίησαν τὰ ἁμαρτήματα αὐτῶν·
17And because God is angry with them, I am sent to tell these very things to thee.
18καὶ ἐλθοῦσα προσανοίσω σοι· ἐξελεύσῃ σὺν πάσῃ τῇ δυνάμει σου, καὶ οὐκ ἔστιν ὃς ἀντιστήσεταί σοι ἐξ αὐτῶν.
18And all these words pleased Holofernes, and his servants, and they admired her wisdom, and they said one to another:
19Καὶ ἄξω σε διὰ μέσου τῆς Ἰουδαίας, ἕως τοῦ ἐλθεῖν ἀπέναντι Ἱερουσαλήμ· καὶ θήσω τὸν δίφρον σου ἐν μέσῳ αὐτῆς, καὶ ἄξεις αὐτοὺς ὡς πρόβατα οἷς οὐκ ἔστι ποιμήν· καὶ οὐ γρύξει κύων τῇ γλώσσῃ αὐτοῦ ἀπέναντί σου· ὅτι ταῦτα ἐλαλήθη μοι κατὰ πρόγνωσίν μου, καὶ ἀπηγγέλη μοι, καὶ ἀπεστάλην ἀναγγεῖλαί σοι.
19There is not such another woman upon earth in look, in beauty, and in sense of words.
20Καὶ ἤρεσαν οἱ λόγοι αὐτῆς ἐναντίον Ὀλοφέρνου, καὶ ἐναντίον πάντων τῶν θεραπόντων αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἐθαύμασαν ἐπὶ τῇ σοφίᾳ αὐτῆς, καὶ εἶπαν,
20And Holofernes said to her: God hath done well who sent thee before the people, that thou mightest give them into our hands:
21οὐκ ἔστι τοιαύτη γυνὴ ἀπʼ ἄκρου ἕως ἄκρου τῆς γῆς, καλῷ προσώπῳ καὶ συνέσει λόγων.
21And because thy promise is good, if thy God shall do this for me, he shall also be my God, and thou shalt be great in the house of Nabuchodonosor, and thy name shall be renowned through all the earth.
22Καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν Ὀλοφέρνης, εὖ ἐποίησεν ὁ Θεὸς ἀποστείλας σε ἔμπροσθεν τοῦ λαοῦ, τοῦ γενηθῆναι ἐν χερσὶν ἡμῶν κράτος· ἐν δὲ τοῖς φαυλίσασι τὸν κύριόν μου, ἀπώλειαν.

23Καὶ νῦν ἀστεῖα εἶ σὺ ἐν τῷ εἴδει σου, καὶ ἀγαθὴ ἐν τοῖς λόγοις σου· ὅτι ἐὰν ποιήσῃς καθὰ ἐλάλησας, ὁ Θεός σου ἔσται μου Θεὸς, καὶ σὺ ἐν οἴκῳ βασιλέως Ναβουχοδονόσορ καθήσῃ, καὶ ἔσῃ ὀνομαστὴ παρὰ πᾶσαν τὴν γῆν.
