Chapter 2 Vulgate

   1 Et in anno octavo decimo, secundo et vicesimo die mensis primi factum est verbum Nabuchodonosor regis Assyriorum, ut vindicaret omnem terram, sicut locutus est.
   2 Et convocavit omnes famulos suos et omnes magnates suos et posuit cum eis secretum consilii sui et consummavit omne malum terrae ex ore suo;
   3 et ipsi iudicaverunt exterminare omnem carnem eorum, qui non sunt obsecuti verbo oris eius.
   4 Et factum est, cum consummasset consilium suum, vocavit Nabuchodonosor rex Assyriorum Holofernen principem militiae virtutis suae, qui erat secundus post se,
   5 et dixit ad eum: "Haec dicit rex magnus, universae terrae dominus. Ecce tu exies a facie mea et accipies tecum viros fidentes in virtute sua: in centum viginti milia peditum et multitudinem equorum cum ascensoribus duodecim milia;
   6 et exies in obviam universae terrae ad occasum, quia non crediderunt verbo oris mei.
   7 Et denuntiabis eis, ut praeparent mihi terram et aquam, quoniam ego exeam in ira mea ad eos et cooperiam omnem faciem terrae in pedibus virtutis meae et dabo eos in rapinam,
   8 et vulnerati illorum replebunt valles eorum, et omnis torrens et flumen inundans mortuis eorum replebuntur.
   9 Et adducam captivitatem eorum ad extrema universae terrae.
   10 Tu autem exiens praeoccupabis mihi omnem finem eorum, et tradent se tibi, et reservabis mihi in diem redargutionis eorum.
   11 Super eos autem, qui non oboediunt, non parcet oculus tuus, ut des eos in occisionem et rapinam in tota terra tua,
   12 quoniam vivo ego et potestas regni mei; locutus sum et faciam omnia haec in manu mea.
   13 Et tu non praeteries unum verbum domini tui, sed consummans consummabis, sicut praecepi tibi, et non prolongabis, ut facias ea".
   14 Et exiit Holofernes a facie domini sui et vocavit omnes praefectos et duces et magistratus virtutis Assyriae
   15 et numeravit electos viros in expeditionem, quemadmodum praeceperat ei dominus suus, in centum viginti milia et equitum sagittariorum duodecim milia.
   16 Et disposuit eos, quemadmodum belli multitudo constituitur.
   17 Et accepit camelos et asinos et mulos ad utensilia eorum, multitudinem magnam valde, et oves et boves et capras in praeparationem eorum, quorum non erat numerus,
   18 et epimenia omni viro in multitudinem; et aurum et argentum de domo regis multum valde.
   19 Et exiit a Nineve ipse et omnis virtus eius in profectionem, ut praecederet regem Nabuchodonosor et cooperiret omnem faciem terrae, quae est ad occasum, in quadrigis et equitibus et peditibus electis suis.
   20 Et multa mixtura sicut locusta convenerunt cum eis et sicut arena terrae; non enim erat numerus prae multitudine eorum.
   21 Et exierunt ex Nineve viam dierum trium super faciem campi Bectileth et posuerunt tabernacula sua a Bectileth iuxta montem, qui est in sinistra superioris Ciliciae.
   22 Et accepit omnem virtutem suam, pedites et equites et quadrigas suas et abiit inde in montanam
   23 et concidit Phut et Lud et praedaverunt omnes filios Rassis et filios Ismael, qui erant contra faciem deserti ad austrum Chelaeorum.
   24 Et transgressus est Euphraten et transiit Mesopotamiam et diruit omnes civitates excelsas, quae erant ad torrentem Abronam, usquequo veniatur ad mare.
   25 Et occupavit terminos Ciliciae et concidit omnes adversantes sibi et venit usque ad terminos Iapheth, qui sunt ad austrum contra faciem Arabiae.
   26 Et circuivit omnes filios Madian et succendit tabernacula eorum et praedavit stabula eorum.
   27 Et descendit in campum Damasci in diebus messis frumenti et succendit omnes agros eorum; greges et armenta dedit in exterminium et civitates eorum spoliavit et campos eorum ventilavit et percussit omnes iuvenes eorum in ore gladii.
   28 Et incidit timor et tremor eius super inhabitantes maritimam, qui erant in Sidone et Tyro, et inhabitantes Sur et Ochina et omnes, qui incolebant Iamniam; et habitantes in Azoto et Ascalone et Gaza timuerunt eum valde.

Apocrypha

   1 And in the eighteenth year, the two and twentieth day of the first month, there was talk in the house of Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians that he should, as he said, avenge himself on all the earth.
   2 So he called unto him all his officers, and all his nobles, and communicated with them his secret counsel, and concluded the afflicting of the whole earth out of his own mouth.
   3 Then they decreed to destroy all flesh, that did not obey the commandment of his mouth.
   4 And when he had ended his counsel, Nabuchodonosor king of the Assyrians called Holofernes the chief captain of his army, which was next unto him, and said unto him.
   5 Thus saith the great king, the lord of the whole earth, Behold, thou shalt go forth from my presence, and take with thee men that trust in their own strength, of footmen an hundred and twenty thousand; and the number of horses with their riders twelve thousand.
   6 And thou shalt go against all the west country, because they disobeyed my commandment.
   7 And thou shalt declare unto that they prepare for me earth and water: for I will go forth in my wrath against them and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of mine army, and I will give them for a spoil unto them:
   8 So that their slain shall fill their valleys and brooks and the river shall be filled with their dead, till it overflow:
   9 And I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth.
   10 Thou therefore shalt go forth, and take beforehand for me all their coasts: and if they will yield themselves unto thee, thou shalt reserve them for me till the day of their punishment.
   11 But concerning them that rebel, let not thine eye spare them; but put them to the slaughter, and spoil them wheresoever thou goest.
   12 For as I live, and by the power of my kingdom, whatsoever I have spoken, that will I do by mine hand.
   13 And take thou heed that thou transgress none of the commandments of thy lord, but accomplish them fully, as I have commanded thee, and defer not to do them.
   14 Then Holofernes went forth from the presence of his lord, and called all the governors and captains, and the officers of the army of Assur;
   15 And he mustered the chosen men for the battle, as his lord had commanded him, unto an hundred and twenty thousand, and twelve thousand archers on horseback;
   16 And he ranged them, as a great army is ordered for the war.
   17 And he took camels and asses for their carriages, a very great number; and sheep and oxen and goats without number for their provision:
   18 And plenty of victual for every man of the army, and very much gold and silver out of the kings house.
   19 Then he went forth and all his power to go before king Nabuchodonosor in the voyage, and to cover all the face of the earth westward with their chariots, and horsemen, and their chosen footmen.
   20 A great number also sundry countries came with them like locusts, and like the sand of the earth: for the multitude was without number.
   21 And they went forth of Nineve three days journey toward the plain of Bectileth, and pitched from Bectileth near the mountain which is at the left hand of the upper Cilicia.
   22 Then he took all his army, his footmen, and horsemen and chariots, and went from thence into the hill country;
   23 And destroyed Phud and Lud, and spoiled all the children of Rasses, and the children of Ismael, which were toward the wilderness at the south of the land of the Chellians.
   24 Then he went over Euphrates, and went through Mesopotamia, and destroyed all the high cities that were upon the river Arbonai, till ye come to the sea.
   25 And he took the borders of Cilicia, and killed all that resisted him, and came to the borders of Japheth, which were toward the south, over against Arabia.
   26 He compassed also all the children of Madian, and burned up their tabernacles, and spoiled their sheepcotes.
   27 Then he went down into the plain of Damascus in the time of wheat harvest, and burnt up all their fields, and destroyed their flocks and herds, also he spoiled their cities, and utterly wasted their countries, and smote all their young men with the edge of the sword.
   28 Therefore the fear and dread of him fell upon all the inhabitants of the sea coasts, which were in Sidon and Tyrus, and them that dwelt in Sur and Ocina, and all that dwelt in Jemnaan; and they that dwelt in Azotus and Ascalon feared him greatly.
