Judith 12

Then he commanded to bring her in where his plate was set; and bade that they should prepare for her of his own meats, and that she should drink of his own wine.

ΚΑΙ ἐκέλευσεν εἰσαγαγεῖν αὐτὴν οὗ ἐτίθετο τὰ ἀργυρώματα αὐτοῦ καὶ συνέταξε καταστρῶσαι αὐτῇ ἀπὸ τῶν ὀψοποιημάτων αὐτοῦ καὶ τοῦ οἴνου αὐτοῦ πίνειν.

И҆ повелѣ̀ ввестѝ ю҆̀, и҆дѣ́же положе́ни бы́ша сосꙋ́ди сре́брѧнїи є҆гѡ̀, и҆ повелѣ̀ ᲂу҆гото́вити є҆́й ѿ пи́щей ᲂу҆строева́емыхъ себѣ̀ и҆ ѿ вїна̀ своегѡ̀ пи́ти.

And Judith said, I will not eat thereof, lest there be an offence: but provision shall be made for me of the things that I have brought.

καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιουδίθ· οὐ φάγομαι ἐξ αὐτῶν, ἵνα μὴ γένηται σκάνδαλον, ἀλλ᾿ ἐκ τῶν ἠκολουθηκότων μοι χορηγηθήσεται.

И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: не снѣ́мъ ѿ ни́хъ, да не бꙋ́детъ собла́знъ, но ѿ принесе́нныхъ со мно́ю мнѣ̀ подава́емо да бꙋ́детъ.

Then Holofernes said unto her, If thy provision should fail, how should we give thee the like? for there be none with us of thy nation.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν ᾿Ολοφέρνης· ἐὰν δὲ ἐκλίπῃ τὰ ὄντα μετὰ σοῦ, πόθεν ἐξοίσομέν σοι δοῦναι ὅμοια αὐτοῖς; οὐ γάρ ἐστι μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν ἐκ τοῦ ἔθνους σου.

И҆ речѐ къ не́й ѻ҆лофе́рнъ: а҆́ще же ѡ҆скꙋдѣ́ютъ сꙋ̑щаѧ съ тобо́ю, ѿкꙋ́дꙋ принесе́мъ тебѣ̀ дава́ти подѡ́бнаѧ си̑мъ; нѣ́сть бо съ на́ми ѿ ро́да твоегѡ̀.

Then said Judith unto him As thy soul liveth, my lord, thine handmaid shall not spend those things that I have, before the Lord work by mine hand the things that he hath determined.

καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιουδὶθ πρὸς αὐτόν· ζῇ ἡ ψυχή σου, κύριέ μου, ὅτι οὐ δαπανήσει ἡ δούλη σου τὰ ὄντα μετ᾿ ἐμοῦ, ἕως ἂν ποιήσῃ Κύριος ἐν χειρί μου ἃ ἐβουλεύσατο.

И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ къ немꙋ̀: жива̀ є҆́сть дꙋша̀ твоѧ̀, господи́не мо́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ не и҆ждиве́тъ раба̀ твоѧ̀ сꙋ́щихъ со мно́ю, до́ндеже сотвори́тъ гдⷭ҇ь рꙋко́ю мое́ю, ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆ста́ви.

Then the servants of Holofernes brought her into the tent, and she slept till midnight, and she arose when it was toward the morning watch,

καὶ ἠγάγοσαν αὐτὴν οἱ θεράποντες ᾿Ολοφέρνου εἰς τὴν σκηνήν, καὶ ὕπνωσε μέχρι μεσούσης τῆς νυκτός· καὶ ἀνέστη πρὸς τὴν ἑωθινὴν φυλακήν,

И҆ ведо́ша ю҆̀ ѻ҆́троцы ѻ҆лофе́рнѡвы въ шате́ръ, и҆ спа̀ да́же до полꙋ́нощи: и҆ воста̀ ѡ҆ ᲂу҆́тренней стра́жи

And sent to Holofernes, saving, Let my lord now command that thine handmaid may go forth unto prayer.

καὶ ἀπέστειλε πρὸς ᾿Ολοφέρνην λέγουσα· ἐπιταξάτω δὴ ὁ κύριός μου ἐᾶσαι τὴν δούλην σου ἐπὶ προσευχὴν ἐξελθεῖν.

и҆ посла̀ ко ѻ҆лофе́рнꙋ, глаго́лющи: да повели́тъ ᲂу҆̀бо господи́нъ мо́й пꙋща́ти рабꙋ̀ твою̀ на моли́твꙋ и҆сходи́ти.

Then Holofernes commanded his guard that they should not stay her: thus she abode in the camp three days, and went out in the night into the valley of Bethulia, and washed herself in a fountain of water by the camp.

καὶ προσέταξεν ᾿Ολοφέρνης τοῖς σωματοφύλαξι μὴ διακωλύειν αὐτήν. καὶ παρέμεινεν ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ἡμέρας τρεῖς, καὶ ἐξεπορεύετο κατὰ νύκτα εἰς τὴν φάραγγα Βαιτυλούα καὶ ἐβαπτίζετο ἐν τῇ παρεμβολῇ ἐπὶ τῆς πηγῆς τοῦ ὕδατος·

И҆ повелѣ̀ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ тѣлохрани́телємъ не возбранѧ́ти є҆́й. И҆ пребы́сть въ полкꙋ̀ дни̑ трѝ: и҆ и҆схожда́ше въ нощѝ въ де́брь ветѷлꙋ́и и҆ ᲂу҆мыва́шесѧ во ѡ҆полче́нїи во и҆сто́чницѣ воды̀,

And when she came out, she besought the Lord God of Israel to direct her way to the raising up of the children of her people.

καὶ ὡς ἀνέβη, ἐδέετο τοῦ Κυρίου Θεοῦ ᾿Ισραὴλ κατευθῦναι τὴν ὁδὸν αὐτῆς εἰς ἀνάστημα τῶν υἱῶν τοῦ λαοῦ αὐτοῦ.

и҆ ꙗ҆́кѡ взы́де, молѧ́шесѧ гдⷭ҇ꙋ бг҃ꙋ і҆и҃левꙋ, да ᲂу҆пра́витъ пꙋ́ть є҆ѧ̀ ко возставле́нїю сынѡ́въ люді́й свои́хъ:

So she came in clean, and remained in the tent, until she did eat her meat at evening.

καὶ εἰσπορευομένη καθαρὰ παρέμενε τῇ σκηνῇ, μέχρις οὗ προσηνέγκατο τὴν τροφὴν αὐτῆς πρὸς ἑσπέραν.

и҆ входѧ́щи чиста̀ пребыва́ше въ шатрѣ̀, доне́лиже приноша́ше пи́щꙋ свою̀ ко ве́черꙋ.

And in the fourth day Holofernes made a feast to his own servants only, and called none of the officers to the banquet.

καὶ ἐγένετο ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ τῇ τετάρτῃ, ἐποίησεν ᾿Ολοφέρνης πότον τοῖς δούλοις αὐτοῦ μόνοις καὶ οὐκ ἐκάλεσεν εἰς τὴν χρῆσιν οὐδένα τῶν πρὸς ταῖς χρείαις.

И҆ бы́сть въ де́нь четве́ртый, сотворѝ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ пи́ръ рабѡ́мъ свои̑мъ є҆ди̑нымъ, и҆ не призва̀ въ послꙋже́нїе ни є҆ди́нагѡ ѿ сꙋ́щихъ при слꙋ́жбахъ,

Then said he to Bagoas the eunuch, who had charge over all that he had, Go now, and persuade this Hebrew woman which is with thee, that she come unto us, and eat and drink with us.

καὶ εἶπε Βαγώᾳ τῷ εὐνούχῳ, ὃς ἦν ἐφεστηκὼς ἐπὶ πάντων τῶν αὐτοῦ· πεῖσον δὴ πορευθεὶς τὴν γυναῖκα τὴν ῾Εβραίαν ἥ ἐστι παρὰ σοί, τοῦ ἐλθεῖν πρὸς ἡμᾶς καὶ φαγεῖν καὶ πιεῖν μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν·

и҆ речѐ вагѡ́ю є҆ѵнꙋ́хꙋ, и҆́же бѧ́ше приста́вникъ над̾ всѣ́ми сꙋ́щими є҆гѡ̀: ше́дъ ᲂу҆̀бо ᲂу҆вѣща́й женꙋ̀ є҆вре́иню, ꙗ҆́же є҆́сть ᲂу҆ тебє̀, є҆́же прїитѝ къ на́мъ и҆ ꙗ҆́сти и҆ пи́ти съ на́ми:

For, lo, it will be a shame for our person, if we shall let such a woman go, not having had her company; for if we draw her not unto us, she will laugh us to scorn.

ἰδοὺ γὰρ αἰσχρὸν τῷ προσώπῳ ἡμῶν, εἰ γυναῖκα τοιαύτην παρήσομεν οὐχ ὁμιλήσαντες αὐτῇ, ὅτι ἐὰν ταύτην μὴ ἐπισπασώμεθα, καταγελάσεται ἡμῶν.

се́ бо, стꙋ́дно лицꙋ̀ на́шемꙋ, а҆́ще женꙋ̀ сицевꙋ́ю ѡ҆ста́вимъ не бесѣ́довавше съ не́ю, занѐ а҆́ще сеѧ̀ не призове́мъ, посмѣе́тсѧ на́мъ.

Then went Bagoas from the presence of Holofernes, and came to her, and he said, Let not this fair damsel fear to come to my lord, and to be honoured in his presence, and drink wine, and be merry with us and be made this day as one of the daughters of the Assyrians, which serve in the house of Nabuchodonosor.

καὶ ἐξῆλθε Βαγώας ἀπὸ προσώπου ᾿Ολοφέρνου καὶ εἰσῆλθε πρὸς αὐτὴν καὶ εἶπε· μὴ ὀκνησάτω δὴ ἡ παιδίσκη ἡ καλὴ αὕτη ἐλθοῦσα πρὸς τὸν κύριόν μου δοξασθῆναι κατὰ πρόσωπον αὐτοῦ καὶ πιεῖν μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν εἰς εὐφροσύνην οἶνον καὶ γενηθῆναι ἐν τῇ ἡμέρᾳ ταύτῃ ὡς θυγάτηρ μία τῶν υἱῶν ᾿Ασσούρ, αἳ παρεστήκασιν ἐν οἴκῳ Ναβουχοδονόσορ.

И҆ и҆зы́де вагѡ́а ѿ лица̀ ѻ҆лофе́рнова и҆ вни́де къ не́й и҆ речѐ: да не ѡ҆блѣни́тсѧ ᲂу҆̀бо ѻ҆трокови́ца до́браѧ сїѧ̀, прише́дши ко господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀, просла́витисѧ пред̾ лице́мъ є҆гѡ̀ и҆ пи́ти съ на́ми въ весе́лїе вїно̀ и҆ бы́ти въ де́нь се́й, ꙗ҆́кѡ дщѝ є҆ди́на ѿ сынѡ́въ а҆ссꙋ́ровыхъ, ꙗ҆́же предстоѧ́тъ въ домꙋ̀ навꙋходоно́соровѣ.

Then said Judith unto him, Who am I now, that I should gainsay my lord? surely whatsoever pleaseth him I will do speedily, and it shall be my joy unto the day of my death.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὸν ᾿Ιουδίθ· καὶ τίς εἰμι ἐγὼ ἀντεροῦσα τῷ κυρίῳ μου; ὅτι πᾶν, ὃ ἔσται ἐν τοῖς ὀφθαλμοῖς αὐτοῦ ἀρεστόν, σπεύσασα ποιήσω, καὶ ἔσται τοῦτο ἀγαλλίαμα ἕως ἡμέρας θανάτου μου.

И҆ речѐ къ немꙋ̀ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: и҆ кто̀ є҆́смь а҆́зъ противоглаго́лющи господи́нꙋ моемꙋ̀; занѐ всѐ, є҆́же бꙋ́детъ пред̾ ѻ҆чесы̀ є҆гѡ̀ ᲂу҆го́дно, потща́вшисѧ сотворю̀, и҆ бꙋ́детъ сїѐ мѝ ра́дованїе да́же до днѐ сме́рти моеѧ̀.

So she arose, and decked herself with her apparel and all her woman’s attire, and her maid went and laid soft skins on the ground for her over against Holofernes, which she had received of Bagoas for her daily use, that she might sit and eat upon them.

καὶ διαναστᾶσα ἐκοσμήθη τῷ ἱματισμῷ καὶ παντὶ τῷ κόσμῳ τῷ γυναικείῳ, καὶ προσῆλθεν ἡ δούλη αὐτῆς καὶ ἔστρωσεν αὐτῇ κατέναντι ᾿Ολοφέρνου χαμαὶ τὰ κώδια, ἃ ἔλαβε παρὰ Βαγώου εἰς τὴν καθημερινὴν δίαιταν αὐτῆς, εἰς τὸ ἐσθίειν κατακλινομένην ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν.

И҆ воста́вши ᲂу҆краси́сѧ ѡ҆дѣѧ́нїемъ и҆ всѧ́кимъ ᲂу҆краше́нїемъ же́нскимъ: и҆ прїи́де раба̀ є҆ѧ̀ и҆ постла̀ є҆́й пред̾ ѻ҆лофе́рномъ до́лꙋ ковры̀, и҆̀хже взѧ̀ ѿ вагѡ́и ко повседне́вномꙋ ᲂу҆потребле́нїю своемꙋ̀, во є҆́же ꙗ҆́сти возле́гшей на ни́хъ:

Now when Judith came in and sat down, Holofernes his heart was ravished with her, and his mind was moved, and he desired greatly her company; for he waited a time to deceive her, from the day that he had seen her.

καὶ εἰσελθοῦσα ἀνέπεσεν ᾿Ιουδίθ, καὶ ἐξέστη ἡ καρδία ᾿Ολοφέρνου ἐπ᾿ αὐτήν, καὶ ἐσαλεύθη ἡ ψυχὴ αὐτοῦ, καὶ ἦν κατεπίθυμος σφόδρα τοῦ συγγενέσθαι μετ᾿ αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐτήρει καιρὸν τοῦ ἀπατῆσαι αὐτὴν ἀφ᾿ ἧς ἡμέρας εἶδεν αὐτήν.

и҆ вше́дши возлежѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ. И҆ и҆зстꙋпѝ се́рдце ѻ҆лофе́рново ѡ҆ не́й, и҆ подви́жесѧ дꙋша̀ є҆гѡ̀: и҆ бѧ́ше жела́теленъ ѕѣлѡ̀, є҆́же сни́тисѧ съ не́ю, и҆ ᲂу҆смотрева́ше вре́мене, є҆́же ѡ҆больсти́ти ю҆̀, ѿ негѡ́же днѐ ви́дѣ ю҆̀:

Then said Holofernes unto her, Drink now, and be merry with us.

καὶ εἶπε πρὸς αὐτὴν ᾿Ολοφέρνης· πίε δὴ καὶ γενήθητι μεθ᾿ ἡμῶν εἰς εὐφροσύνην.

и҆ речѐ къ не́й ѻ҆лофе́рнъ: пі́й ᲂу҆̀бо и҆ бꙋ́ди съ на́ми въ весе́лїи.

So Judith said, I will drink now, my lord, because my life is magnified in me this day more than all the days since I was born.

καὶ εἶπεν ᾿Ιουδίθ· πίομαι δή, κύριε, ὅτι ἐμεγαλύνθη τὸ ζῆν μου ἐν ἐμοὶ σήμερον παρὰ πάσας τὰς ἡμέρας τῆς γενέσεώς μου.

И҆ речѐ і҆ꙋді́ѳъ: бꙋ́дꙋ ᲂу҆̀бо пи́ти, господи́не, ꙗ҆́кѡ возвели́чисѧ живо́тъ мо́й во мнѣ̀ дне́сь па́че всѣ́хъ дні́й рожде́нїѧ моегѡ̀.

Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.

καὶ λαβοῦσα ἔφαγε καὶ ἔπιε κατέναντι αὐτοῦ ἃ ἡτοίμασεν ἡ δούλη αὐτῆς.

И҆ взе́мши ꙗ҆дѐ и҆ пѝ пред̾ ни́мъ, ꙗ҆̀же ᲂу҆гото́ва раба̀ є҆ѧ̀.

And Holofernes took great delight in her, and drank more wine than he had drunk at any time in one day since he was born.

καὶ ηὐφράνθη ᾿Ολοφέρνης ἀπ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ ἔπιεν οἶνον πολὺν σφόδρα, ὅσον οὐκ ἔπιε πώποτε ἐν ἡμέρᾳ μιᾷ ἀφ᾿ οὗ ἐγεννήθη.

И҆ возвесели́сѧ ѻ҆лофе́рнъ ѡ҆ не́й и҆ пѝ вїна̀ мно́гѡ ѕѣлѡ̀, є҆ли́кѡ не пѝ никогда́же въ де́нь є҆ди́нъ, ѿне́лиже роди́сѧ.
