| 18 | When they arrived at Jerusalem they worshipped God. As soon as the people were purified, they offered their burnt offerings, their freewill offerings, and their gifts. | Judith's fame. Jdth.16.18-25 | ὄρη γὰρ ἐκ θεμελίων σὺν ὕδασιν σαλευθήσεται, πέτραι δ' ἀπὸ προσώπου σου ὡς κηρὸς τακήσονται· ἔτι δὲ τοῖς φοβουμένοις σε, σὺ εὐιλατεύσεις αὐτοῖς. |
| 19 | Judith also dedicated to God all the vessels of Holofernes, which the people had given her; and the canopy which she took for herself from his bedchamber she gave as a votive offering to the Lord. | ὅτι μικρὸν πᾶσα θυσία εἰς ὀσμὴν εὐωδίας, καὶ ἐλάχιστον πᾶν στέαρ εἰς ὁλοκαύτωμά σοι· ὁ δὲ φοβούμενος τὸν κύριον μέγας διὰ παντός. | |
| 20 | So the people continued feasting in Jerusalem before the sanctuary for three months, and Judith remained with them. | οὐαὶ ἔθνεσιν ἐπανιστανομένοις τῷ γένει μου· Κύριος παντοκράτωρ ἐκδικήσει αὐτοὺς ἐν ἡμέρᾳ κρίσεως, δοῦναι πῦρ καὶ σκώληκας εἰς σάρκας αὐτῶν, καὶ κλαύσονται ἐν αἰσθήσει ἕως αἰῶνος. | |
| 21 | After this every one returned home to his own inheritance, and Judith went to Bethulia, and remained on her estate, and was honoured in her time throughout the whole country. | ||
| 22 | Many desired to marry her, but she remained a widow all the days of her life after Manasseh her husband died and was gathered to his people. | Ὡς δὲ ἤλθοσαν εἰς Ιερουσαλημ, προσεκύνησαν τῷ θεῷ, καὶ ἡνίκα ἐκαθαρίσθη ὁ λαός, ἀνήνεγκαν τὰ ὁλοκαυτώματα αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ ἑκούσια αὐτῶν καὶ τὰ δόματα. | |
| 23 | She became more and more famous, and grew old in her husband's house, until she was one hundred and five years old. She set her maid free. She died in Bethulia, and they buried her in the cave of her husband Manasseh, | καὶ ἀνέθηκεν Ιουδιθ πάντα τὰ σκεύη Ολοφέρνου, ὅσα ἔδωκεν ὁ λαὸς αὐτῇ, καὶ τὸ κωνώπιον, ὃ ἔλαβεν ἑαυτῇ ἐκ τοῦ κοιτῶνος αὐτοῦ, εἰς ἀνάθημα τῷ θεῷ ἔδωκεν. | |
| 24 | and the house of Israel mourned for her seven days. Before she died she distributed her property to all those who were next of kin to her husband Manasseh, and to her own nearest kindred. | καὶ ἦν ὁ λαὸς εὐφραινόμενος ἐν Ιερουσαλημ κατὰ πρόσωπον τῶν ἁγίων ἐπὶ μῆνας τρεῖς, καὶ Ιουδιθ μετ' αὐτῶν κατέμεινεν. | |
| 25 | And no one ever again spread terror among the people of Israel in the days of Judith, or for a long time after her death. | Μετὰ δὲ τὰς ἡμέρας ταύτας ἀνέζευξεν ἕκαστος εἰς τὴν κληρονομίαν αὐτοῦ, καὶ Ιουδιθ ἀπῆλθεν εἰς Βαιτυλουα καὶ κατέμεινεν ἐπὶ τῆς ὑπάρξεως αὐτῆς· καὶ ἐγένετο κατὰ τὸν καιρὸν αὐτῆς ἔνδοξος ἐν πάσῃ τῇ γῇ. | |
