1.犹滴作为何乐弗尼的客人 于是他命令他们把她带到存放银器的地方，并吩咐他们为她摆设一张桌子，上面摆放一些自己的食物，并用自己的酒招待她。Judith as a Guest of Holofernes Then he commanded them to bring her in where his silver dishes were kept, and ordered them to set a table for her with some of his own food and to serve her with his own wine.
2.但犹滴说：“我不能吃它，恐怕引起嫌疑，但我会从我带来的东西中得到供应。”But Judith said, “I cannot eat it, lest it be an offense; but I will be provided from the things I have brought with me.”
3.荷罗孚尼对她说：“如果你的供应用完了，我们在哪里可以为你弄到更多的呢？因为没有你的族人与我们同在。”Holofer′nes said to her, “If your supply runs out, where can we get more like it for you? For none of your people is here with us.”
4.犹滴回答说：“我主您若能活着，我就是您的仆人，必不用完我手里所有的东西，直到上帝由我的手成就他所要做的事。”Judith replied, “As your soul lives, my lord, your servant will not use up the things I have with me before the Lord carries out by my hand what he has determined to do.”
5.随后，霍罗孚尼的仆人将她带进帐篷，她睡到半夜，快到早更的时候她就起来了Then the servants of Holofer′nes brought her into the tent, and she slept until midnight. Along toward the morning watch she arose
6.并派人送到何乐弗尼那里，说“求我的主现在命令，允许你的仆人出去祷告”。and sent to Holofer′nes and said, “Let my lord now command that your servant be permitted to go out and pray.”
7.于是荷罗孚尼命令他的卫兵不要阻止她。她在军营里住了三天，每晚都去到伯多利亚的山谷，在军营的泉水那里沐浴。So Holofer′nes commanded his guards not to hinder her. And she remained in the camp for three days, and went out each night to the valley of Bethu′lia, and bathed at the spring in the camp.
8.她从泉水那里上来时，祷告以色列的主神引导她使她的百姓兴起。When she came up from the spring she prayed the Lord God of Israel to direct her way for the raising up of her people.
9.她就洁净了，回到帐棚里，直到晚上吃了食物才出来。So she returned clean and stayed in the tent until she ate her food toward evening.
10.犹滴参加荷罗孚尼的宴会 在第四天，荷罗孚尼为他的奴仆举行宴会，只邀请他的奴仆，并没有邀请他的官员。Judith Attends Holofernes’ Banquet On the fourth day Holofer′nes held a banquet for his slaves only, and did not invite any of his officers.
11.他对巴谷亚说，巴谷亚是管理他一切私事的太监，现今去说服你所看守的那希伯来妇人，劝她来与我们一同吃喝。And he said to Bago′as, the eunuch who had charge of all his personal affairs, “Go now and persuade the Hebrew woman who is in your care to join us and eat and drink with us.
12.因为如果我们让这样一个女人离开而不与她共度时光，那将是一种耻辱，如果我们不拥抱她，她就会嘲笑我们。For it will be a disgrace if we let such a woman go without enjoying her company, for if we do not embrace her she will laugh at us.”
13.巴格瓦离开赫勒姆尼斯的面前，走近犹滴，说道：“这位美丽的侍女请来见我的主人，在他面前受尊敬，和我们一起饮酒欢乐，今天就像尼布甲尼撒王宫中服侍的亚述女子一样。”So Bago′as went out from the presence of Holofer′nes, and approached her and said, “This beautiful maidservant will please come to my lord and be honored in his presence, and drink wine and be merry with us, and become today like one of the daughters of the Assyrians who serve in the house of Nebuchadnez′zar.”
14.犹滴说：“我是谁，敢违背我的主呢？无论他喜欢什么，我都会立刻照做，这将是我一生中最大的乐趣，直到我死的那天！”And Judith said, “Who am I, to refuse my lord? Surely whatever pleases him I will do at once, and it will be a joy to me until the day of my death!”
15.于是，她起来穿上了她所有最漂亮的衣服，她的侍女去在她和何乐弗尼斯面前地上铺上她从巴格瓦斯那里得到的用于日常使用的柔软的羊毛皮，当她吃饭时可以躺在上面。So she got up and arrayed herself in all her woman’s finery, and her maid went and spread on the ground for her before Holofer′nes the soft fleeces which she had received from Bago′as for her daily use, so that she might recline on them when she ate.
16.然后犹滴进来躺下，荷罗孚尼斯的心被她迷住了，他被强烈的欲望所驱使，要占有她；因为从他第一次见到她的那天起，他就一直在等待机会欺骗她。Then Judith came in and lay down, and Holofer′nes’ heart was ravished with her and he was moved with great desire to possess her; for he had been waiting for an opportunity to deceive her, ever since the day he first saw her.
17.荷罗孚尼对她说：“现在喝吧，与我们一起欢乐！”So Holofer′nes said to her. “Drink now, and be merry with us!”
18.犹滴说：“我主，我现在要喝，因为我今天的生命比我出生以来所有的日子都更宝贵。”Judith said, “I will drink now, my lord, because my life means more to me today than in all the days since I was born.”
19.她拿起她使女所预备的食物，在他面前吃喝。Then she took and ate and drank before him what her maid had prepared.
20.荷罗孚尼斯非常喜欢她，他喝了大量的酒，比他出生以来任何一天喝的还要多。And Holofer′nes was greatly pleased with her, and drank a great quantity of wine, much more than he had ever drunk in any one day since he was born.
