And when those in the tents heard, they were astonished at what had happened.

ἐπέπεσεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς τρόμος καὶ φόβος καὶ οὐκ ἦν ἄνθρωπος μένων κατὰ πρόσωπον τοῦ πλησίον ἔτι ἀλλ᾿ ἐκχυθέντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἔφευγον ἐπὶ πᾶσαν ὁδὸν τοῦ πεδίου καὶ τῆς ὀρεινῆς
And terror and fear fell upon them, and there was no man remaining face to face with his neighbor any longer, but, having been poured out together, they fled by every road of the plain and of the hill country
οἱ παρεμβεβληκότες ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ κύκλῳ Βαιτυλουα καὶ ἐτράπησαν εἰς φυγήν καὶ τότε οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πᾶς ἀνὴρ πολεμιστὴς ἐξ αὐτῶν ἐξεχύθησαν ἐπ᾿ αὐτούς
And those who had encamped in the hill country around Bethulia turned to flight, and then the sons of Israel, every man a warrior from among them, rushed out against them.
ἀπέστειλεν Οζιας εἰς Βαιτομασθαιμ καὶ Βηβαι καὶ Χωβαι καὶ Κωλα καὶ εἰς πᾶν ὅριον Ισραηλ τοὺς ἀπαγγέλλοντας ὑπὲρ τῶν συντετελεσμένων καὶ ἵνα πάντες ἐπεκχυθῶσιν τοῖς πολεμίοις εἰς τὴν ἀναίρεσιν αὐτῶν
And Uzziah sent to Bethomasteim and Bebai and Chobai and Cola and to all the border of Israel those announcing about the things that had been accomplished and that all should rush upon the enemies for their destruction
δὲ ἤκουσαν οἱ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ πάντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν ἐπέπεσον ἐπ᾿ αὐτοὺς καὶ ἔκοπτον αὐτοὺς ἕως Χωβα ὡσαύτως δὲ καὶ οἱ ἐξ Ιερουσαλημ παρεγενήθησαν καὶ ἐκ πάσης τῆς ὀρεινῆς ἀνήγγειλαν γὰρ αὐτοῖς τὰ γεγονότα τῇ παρεμβολῇ τῶν ἐχθρῶν αὐτῶν καὶ οἱ ἐν Γαλααδ καὶ οἱ ἐν τῇ Γαλιλαίᾳ ὑπερεκέρασαν αὐτοὺς πληγῇ μεγάλῃ ἕως οὗ παρῆλθον Δαμασκὸν καὶ τὰ ὅρια αὐτῆς
But when all the sons of Israel heard, with one accord they fell upon them and kept cutting them down as far as Choba; likewise also those from Jerusalem came together, and from all the hill country, for the events that had happened to the camp of their enemies were reported to them. And those in Gilead and those in Galilee routed them with a great blow until they had passed Damascus and its borders.
δὲ λοιποὶ οἱ κατοικοῦντες Βαιτυλουα ἐπέπεσαν τῇ παρεμβολῇ Ασσουρ καὶ ἐπρονόμευσαν αὐτοὺς καὶ ἐπλούτησαν σφόδρα
But the rest, those dwelling in Bethulia, fell upon the camp of Assur and plundered them and became exceedingly rich
δὲ υἱοὶ Ισραηλ ἀναστρέψαντες ἀπὸ τῆς κοπῆς ἐκυρίευσαν τῶν λοιπῶν καὶ αἱ κῶμαι καὶ ἐπαύλεις ἐν τῇ ὀρεινῇ καὶ πεδινῇ ἐκράτησαν πολλῶν λαφύρων ἦν γὰρ πλῆθος πολὺ σφόδρα
But the sons of Israel, having turned back from the slaughter, took possession of the rest, and the villages and the settlements in the hill country and in the plain seized many spoils, for there was a very great multitude.
Ιωακιμ ὁ ἱερεὺς ὁ μέγας καὶ ἡ γερουσία τῶν υἱῶν Ισραηλ οἱ κατοικοῦντες ἐν Ιερουσαλημ ἦλθον τοῦ θεάσασθαι τὰ ἀγαθά ἃ ἐποίησεν κύριος τῷ Ισραηλ καὶ τοῦ ἰδεῖν τὴν Ιουδιθ καὶ λαλῆσαι μετ᾿ αὐτῆς εἰρήνην
And Joachim the great priest and the elders of the sons of Israel, those who were dwelling in Jerusalem, came to see the good things that the Lord had done for Israel and to see Judith and to speak with her peaceably.
δὲ εἰσῆλθον πρὸς αὐτήν εὐλόγησαν αὐτὴν πάντες ὁμοθυμαδὸν καὶ εἶπαν πρὸς αὐτήν σὺ ὕψωμα Ιερουσαλημ σὺ γαυρίαμα μέγα τοῦ Ισραηλ σὺ καύχημα μέγα τοῦ γένους ἡμῶν
And when they came in to her, they all blessed her with one accord and said to her, You are the exaltation of Jerusalem, you are the great pride of Israel, you are the great glory of our race.
ταῦτα πάντα ἐν χειρί σου ἐποίησας τὰ ἀγαθὰ μετὰ Ισραηλ καὶ εὐδόκησεν ἐπ᾿ αὐτοῖς ὁ θεός εὐλογημένη γίνου παρὰ τῷ παντοκράτορι κυρίῳ εἰς τὸν αἰῶνα χρόνον καὶ εἶπεν πᾶς ὁ λαός γένοιτο
You have done all these things by your hand; you have done good things with Israel, and God was well pleased with them. Blessed be you before the almighty Lord forever. And all the people said, Amen.
ἐλαφύρευσεν πᾶς ὁ λαὸς τὴν παρεμβολὴν ἐφ᾿ ἡμέρας τριάκοντα καὶ ἔδωκαν τῇ Ιουδιθ τὴν σκηνὴν Ολοφέρνου καὶ πάντα τὰ ἀργυρώματα καὶ τὰς κλίνας καὶ τὰ ὁλκεῖα καὶ πάντα τὰ κατασκευάσματα αὐτοῦ καὶ λαβοῦσα αὐτὴ ἐπέθηκεν ἐπὶ τὴν ἡμίονον αὐτῆς καὶ ἔζευξεν τὰς ἁμάξας αὐτῆς καὶ ἐσώρευσεν αὐτὰ ἐπ᾿ αὐτῶν
And all the people plundered the camp for thirty days, and they gave to Judith the tent of Holofernes and all the silver things and the beds and the vessels and all his furnishings, and she, having taken them, laid them on her mule and yoked her carts and piled them on them
συνέδραμεν πᾶσα γυνὴ Ισραηλ τοῦ ἰδεῖν αὐτὴν καὶ εὐλόγησαν αὐτὴν καὶ ἐποίησαν αὐτῇ χορὸν ἐξ αὐτῶν καὶ ἔλαβεν θύρσους ἐν ταῖς χερσὶν αὐτῆς καὶ ἔδωκεν ταῖς γυναιξὶν ταῖς μετ᾿ αὐτῆς
And every woman of Israel ran together to see her, and they blessed her, and they made a dance for her from them, and she took thyrsi in her hands and gave to the women with her.
ἐστεφανώσαντο τὴν ἐλαίαν αὐτὴ καὶ αἱ μετ᾿ αὐτῆς καὶ προῆλθεν παντὸς τοῦ λαοῦ ἐν χορείᾳ ἡγουμένη πασῶν τῶν γυναικῶν καὶ ἠκολούθει πᾶς ἀνὴρ Ισραηλ ἐνωπλισμένοι μετὰ στεφάνων καὶ ὕμνουν ἐν τῷ στόματι αὐτῶν
And they crowned the olive tree, she and those with her, and she went before all the people in dancing, leading all the women, and every man of Israel followed, armed with garlands, and they were singing hymns with their mouths
And Judith went out with this thanksgiving in all Israel, and all the people raised up this praise.
