28 Et dixerunt illi Ozias et presbyteri : Omnia quæ locuta es, vera sunt, et non est in sermonibus tuis ulla reprehensio.29 Nunc ergo ora pro nobis, quoniam mulier sancta es, et timens Deum.30 Et dixit illis Judith : Sicut quod potui loqui, Dei esse cognoscitis,31 ita quod facere disposui, probate si ex Deo est, et orate ut firmum faciat Deus consilium meum.32 Stabitis vos ad portam nocte ista, et ego exeam cum abra mea : et orate, ut sicut dixistis, in diebus quinque respiciat Dominus populum suum Israël.33 Vos autem nolo ut scrutemini actum meum, et usque dum renuntiem vobis, nihil aliud fiat, nisi oratio pro me ad Dominum Deum nostrum.34 Et dixit ad eam Ozias princeps Juda : Vade in pace, et Dominus sit tecum in ultionem inimicorum nostrorum. ||||||||"spoken"||||||||||"Any"|"Reprehension"|||||||||||||||||||||||||||"Have planned"|"Test"||||||||"firm"|||||"You will stand"||||||||"I go out"||"maid" or "maidservant"|||||||||||||||||||"examine"||||||"I report back"||||||||||||||||||||||||||||"vengeance"|| |||||||||||||||||teus||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||até|||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||| 28 And Ozias and the priests said to them: All that you have spoken is true, and there is no reproach in your words. 29 Now therefore pray for us, since you are a holy woman and fear God. 30 And Judith said to them: Just as I could to speak, you know that it is of God, 31 so what I have decided to do, prove whether it is from God, and pray that God will make my plan firm. in five days may the Lord look upon his people Israel. 33 But I do not want you to scrutinize my act, and until I report to you, nothing else shall be done, except a prayer for me to the Lord our God. 34 And Uzziah, the prince of Judah, said to her: Go in peace, and May the Lord be with you in the vengeance of our enemies. Et revertentes abierunt.
