1.犹滴的祷告 犹滴便伏在地上，头上撒灰尘，脱去身上的麻衣，在耶路撒冷圣殿里晚祭的香正在烧的时候，犹滴大声呼求上主，说，The Prayer of Judith Then Judith fell upon her face, and put ashes on her head, and uncovered the sackcloth she was wearing; and at the very time when that evening’s incense was being offered in the house of God in Jerusalem, Judith cried out to the Lord with a loud voice, and said,
2.“主啊，我父亲西缅的神，你曾把刀交给他，使他报复那些解开童女腰带、玷污她、露她的大腿、使她受辱、污秽她的胎、使她受羞的外人，因为你说‘不可这样做’，但他们还是这样做了。“O Lord God of my father Sim′eon, to whom thou gavest a sword to take revenge on the strangers who had loosed the girdle of a virgin to defile her, and uncovered her thigh to put her to shame, and polluted her womb to disgrace her; for thou hast said, ‘It shall not be done’—yet they did it.
3.于是，你使他们的统治者被杀戮，他们的床铺，因他们所行的诡计而感到羞耻，被血污染，你击杀了奴仆和王子，并且击杀了王子们，他们坐在他们的宝座上；So thou gavest up their rulers to be slain, and their bed, which was ashamed of the deceit they had practiced, to be stained with blood, and thou didst strike down slaves along with princes, and princes on their thrones;
4.你将他们的妻子作为食物，将他们的女儿作为掳掠，并将他们所有的财物分给你所爱的儿子，他们为你热心，并且憎恶他们血液的污染，他们呼求你帮助——哦，神，我的神，也听我的话，我是一个寡妇。and thou gavest their wives for a prey and their daughters to captivity, and all their booty to be divided among thy beloved sons, who were zealous for thee, and abhorred the pollution of their blood, and called on thee for help—O God, my God, hear me also, a widow.
5.因为你既行了这些事，又行了以前和以后的事，你既设计了现在的事，也设计了将来的事。是的，你所意欲的都成就了，“For thou hast done these things and those that went before and those that followed; thou hast designed the things that are now, and those that are to come. Yea, the things thou didst intend came to pass,
6.你所做的事物都呈现出来说，‘看，我们在这里’；因为你所有的道路都预先备好了，你的判断也是有先见的。and the things thou didst will presented themselves and said, ‘Lo, we are here’; for all thy ways are prepared in advance, and thy judgment is with foreknowledge.
7.看哪，亚述人在力量上越发强盛，他们因马匹和骑兵而自豪，以步兵的力量而夸耀，倚靠盾牌和枪，弓和石弓，却不知道你是耶和华，打仗的主。主是你的名。“Behold now, the Assyrians are increased in their might; they are exalted, with their horses and riders; they glory in the strength of their foot soldiers; they trust in shield and spear, in bow and sling, and know not that thou art the Lord who crushest wars; the Lord is thy name.
8.求你以力量折断他们的力量，以怒气使他们的势力衰败，因为他们想要亵渎你的圣所，污染你荣耀名所居的帐幕，并用刀剑打倒你祭坛的角。Break their strength by thy might, and bring down their power in thy anger; for they intend to defile thy sanctuary, and to pollute the tabernacle where thy glorious name rests, and to cast down the horn of thy altar with the sword.
9.看哪，他们的骄傲，求你将你的愤怒降于他们的头上；求你赐给我，一个寡妇，力量，使我能成就我所谋划的。Behold their pride, and send thy wrath upon their heads; give to me, a widow, the strength to do what I plan.
10.因我嘴唇的欺骗，用仆人击打王子，用婢女击打贵族，用手击碎他们的强横。By the deceit of my lips strike down the slave with the prince and the prince with his servant; crush their arrogance by the hand of a woman.
11.因为你的力量不在于人数众多，也不在于强壮的人， 因为你是卑微人的神，是受压迫的人的帮助者，是弱者的支撑，是孤独的人的保护者，是绝望的人的救主。“For thy power depends not upon numbers, nor thy might upon men of strength; for thou art God of the lowly, helper of the oppressed, upholder of the weak, protector of the forlorn, savior of those without hope.
12.求你听啊，求你听我，我的父的神， 以色列遗产的神，天地的主，水的创造者，你所创造的一切的王，求你听我的祷告！Hear, O hear me, God of my father, God of the inheritance of Israel, Lord of heaven and earth, Creator of the waters, King of all thy creation, hear my prayer!
13.求你使我的欺诈之言成为他们的伤痕和鞭痕，因为他们曾谋划残酷的事来对付你的约，和你的圣殿，和锡安的顶峰，和你子民所居住的房屋。Make my deceitful words to be their wound and stripe, for they have planned cruel things against thy covenant, and against thy consecrated house, and against the top of Zion, and against the house possessed by thy children.
14.使你整个国家和每个支派都知道和明白，你是神，是万能的神和全能的主，除了你以外，没有其他人能保护以色列人，只有你独自一位！And cause thy whole nation and every tribe to know and understand that thou art God, the God of all power and might, and that there is no other who protects the people of Israel but thou alone!”
