20Et cum jam omnes sperarent judicium futurum, hostesque adessent atque exercitus esset ordinatus, besti? equitesque opportuno in loco compositi, Defeat & death of Nicanor. 2Mace.15.20-36
21considerans Machab?us adventum multitudinis, et apparatum varium armorum, et ferocitatem bestiarum, extendens manus in c?lum, prodigia facientem Dominum invocavit, qui non secundum armorum potentiam, sed prout ipsi placet, dat dignis victoriam.  
22Dixit autem invocans hoc modo: Tu Domine, qui misisti angelum tuum sub Ezechia rege Juda, et interfecisti de castris Sennacherib centum octoginta quinque millia:  
23et nunc, dominator c?lorum, mitte angelum tuum bonum ante nos in timore et tremore magnitudinis brachii tui,  
24ut metuant qui cum blasphemia veniunt adversus sanctum populum tuum. Et hic quidem ita peroravit.  
25Nicanor autem et qui cum ipso erant, cum tubis et canticis admovebant.  
26Judas vero et qui cum eo erant, invocato Deo, per orationes congressi sunt:  
27manu quidem pugnantes, sed Dominum cordibus orantes, prostraverunt non minus triginta quinque millia, pr?sentia Dei magnifice delectati.  
28Cumque cessassent, et cum gaudio redirent, cognoverunt Nicanorem ruisse cum armis suis.  
29Facto itaque clamore, et perturbatione excitata, patria voce omnipotentem Dominum benedicebant.  
30Pr?cepit autem Judas, qui per omnia corpore et animo mori pro civibus paratus erat, caput Nicanoris, et manum cum humero abscissam, Jerosolymam perferri.  
31Quo cum pervenisset, convocatis contribulibus et sacerdotibus ad altare, accersiit et eos qui in arce erant.  
32Et ostenso capite Nicanoris, et manu nefaria quam extendens contra domum sanctam omnipotentis Dei magnifice gloriatus est.  
33Linguam etiam impii Nicanoris pr?cisam jussit particulatim avibus dari: manum autem dementis contra templum suspendi.  
34Omnes igitur c?li benedixerunt Dominum, dicentes: Benedictus qui locum suum incontaminatum servavit.  
35Suspendit autem Nicanoris caput in summa arce, ut evidens esset, et manifestum signum auxilii Dei.  
36Itaque omnes communi consilio decreverunt nullo modo diem istum absque celebritate pr?terire:

I have used the Wycliffe Bible text from the Wesley Centre website, where you can view this Bible in a number of formats.
I have used the Douay Rheims Text at the Unbound Bible website.
