Clementine_Vulgate⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Tunc miserunt legatos suos universarum urbium ac provinciarum reges ac principes, Syriæ scilicet Mesopotamiæ, et Syriæ Sobal, et Libyæ, atque Ciliciæ: qui venientes ad Holofernem, dixerunt: ² Desinat indignatio tua circa nos: melius est enim ut viventes serviamus Nabuchodonosor regi magno, et subditi simus tibi, quam morientes cum interitu nostro ipsi servitutis nostræ damna patiamur. ³ Omnis civitas nostra, omnisque possessio, omnes montes, et colles, et campi, et armenta boum, gregesque ovium, et caprarum, equorumque et camelorum, et universæ facultates nostræ atque familiæ, in conspectu tuo sunt: ⁴ sint omnia nostra sub lege tua. ⁵ Nos, et filii nostri, servi tui sumus. ⁶ Veni nobis pacificus dominus, et utere servitio nostro, sicut placuerit tibi. ⁷ Tunc descendit de montibus cum equitibus in virtute magna, et obtinuit omnem civitatem, et omnem inhabitantem terram. ⁸ De universis autem urbibus assumpsit sibi auxiliarios viros fortes, et electos ad bellum. ⁹ Tantusque metus provinciis illis incubuit, ut universarum urbium habitatores principes et honorati simul cum populis exirent obviam venienti, ¹⁰ excipientes eum cum coronis et lampadibus, ducentes choros in tympanis et tibiis. ¹¹ Nec ista tamen facientes, ferocitatem ejus pectoris mitigare potuerunt: ¹² nam et civitates eorum destruxit, et lucos eorum excidit. ¹³ Præceperat enim illi Nabuchodonosor rex, ut omnes deos terræ exterminaret, videlicet ut ipse solus diceretur deus ab his nationibus quæ potuissent Holofernis potentia subjugari. ¹⁴ Pertransiens autem Syriam Sobal, et omnem Apameam, omnemque Mesopotamiam, venit ad Idumæos in terram Gabaa, ¹⁵ accepitque civitates eorum, et sedit ibi per triginta dies, in quibus diebus adunari præcepit universum exercitum virtutis suæ.

Wycliffe⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Thanne kyngis and princes of alle citees and prouynces, that is, of Cirie, of Mesopotanye, and of Sirie Sobal, and of Libie, and of Cilicie, sente her messangeris. `Whiche comynge to Holofernes, seiden, ² Thin indignacioun ceesse aboute vs; for it is betere, that we lyue and serue Nabugodonosor, the grete kyng, and be suget to thee, than that we die, and suffre with oure perischyng the harmes of oure seruage. ³ Ech citee of oure, al possessioun, alle munteyns, and litle hillis, and feeldis, and droues of oxes, and flockis of scheep, and of geet, ⁴ and of horsis, and of camels, and alle oure richessis and meyneis ben in thi siyt; alle thingis be vndur thi lawe. ⁵ Also we and oure children ben thi seruauntis. ⁶ Come thou a pesible lord to vs, and vse thou oure seruyce, as it plesith thee. ⁷ Thanne he cam doun fro the hillis, with knyytis in greet `vertu, that is, strengthe, and gat ech citee, and ech man `enhabitynge the lond. ⁸ Forsothe of alle citees he took to hym helperis, stronge men and chosun to batel. ⁹ And so grete drede lay on alle prouynces, that enhabiteris of alle citees, princes and `onourid men, yeden togidere out with puplis to meete hym comynge, ¹⁰ and `resseyueden hym with corouns and laumpis, and ledden daunsis with pipis and tympans. ¹¹ Netheles thei doynge these thingis myyten not swage the fersnesse of his herte; ¹² for whi bothe he distriede her citees, and hew doun her wodis. ¹³ For kyng Nabugodonosor hadde comaundid to hym, that he schulde distrie alle the goddis of erthe, that is, that he aloone schulde be seid god of alle these naciouns, that myyten be maad suget bi the power of Holofernes. ¹⁴ Forsothe he passide al Sirie Sobal, and al Appanye, and al Mesopotanye, and cam to Idumeis `in to the lond of Gabaa; ¹⁵ and he took the citees of hem, and dwellide there bi thritti daies, in whiche daies he comaundide al the oost of his power to be gaderid togidere.

Geneva⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So they sent ambassadours to him with messages of peace, saying, ² Beholde, we are the seruants of Nabuchodonosor the great king: we lie downe before thee: vse vs as shalbe good in thy sight. ³ Beholde, our houses and all our places, and all our fieldes of wheate, & our flocks, and our heards, and all our lodges and tabernacles lie before thy face: vse them as it pleaseth thee. ⁴ Beholde, euen our cities and the inhabitantes therof are thy seruants come, and take them, as seemeth good to thee. ⁵ So the men came to Olofernes, and declared vnto them after this maner. ⁶ The came he downe toward ye sea coast, both he and his armie, and set garisons in the hie cities, and tooke out of them chosen men for the warre. ⁷ So they and all the countrey round about receiued them, with crownes, with daunces, and with timbrels. ⁸ Yet he brake downe all their borders, and cut downe their woods: for it was inioyned him to destroy al the gods of the land, that al nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, & that all tongues and tribes should call vpon him as God. ⁹ Also he came against Esdrælon, neere vnto Iudea, ouer against the great straite of Iudea, ¹⁰ And he pitched betweene Geba, and a citie of ye Scythians, & there he taried a moneth, that he might assemble all the baggage of his armie.

Bishops⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So the kinges & princes of al the cities & landes sent their embassadours, namely they of Syria and Mesopotamia, Syria Sobal, and Libya, and Cilicia, which came to Holophernes, and sayde: ² Let thy wrath ceasse towarde vs: It is better for vs to serue the great king Nabuchodonosor with our liues, and to be subiect vnto thee, then that we should dye, and with our slaughter suffer the euyls of our bondage. ³ All our cities and possessions, al mountaynes and hilles, all fieldes, great and smal cattel, sheepe, goates, horses, and camels, all our goodes and housholdes be in thy power. ⁴ Under thy subiection be al that we haue. ⁵ We our selues and also our children wilbe thy seruauntes. ⁶ Come vnto vs peaceable lorde, and vse our seruice at thy pleasure. ⁷ Then came Holophernes downe from the mountaynes with horsemen & great power, and conquered all strong fensed cities, and all that dwelt in the lande. ⁸ And out of all cities he toke strong men and such as were meete for the warre [to helpe hym.] ⁹ And there came such a feare vpon those countreys, that the indwellers of al the cities, the princes and rulers, and the people together, went foorth to meete hym as he came: ¹⁰ And receaued him [honorably] with garlandes and torches, with daunces, taprettes, and pipes. ¹¹ Neuerthelesse though they dyd this, yet might they not swage his rigorous stomacke. ¹² But he destroyed their cities, and hewed downe their wooddes. ¹³ For Nabuchodonosor the king had commaunded him that he should roote out all the gods of the lande, to the intent that he only might be called [and taken] for god of the nations, which Holophernes with his power might bring vnder him. ¹⁴ So went he through Syria Sobal, and through all Appamea, and all Mesopotamia, and came to the Idumeans in the lande of Gabaa, ¹⁵ And toke their cities, and remayned there thirtie dayes, in whiche space he caused all the whole multitude of his hoast to be gathered together.

DouayRheims⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ Then the kings and the princes of all the cities and provinces, of Syria, Mesopotamia, and Syria Sobal, and Libya, and Cilicia sent their ambassadors, who coming to Holofernes, said: ² Let thy indignation towards us cease: for it is better for us to live and serve Nabuchodonosor the great king, and be subject to thee, than to die and to perish, or suffer the miseries of slavery. ³ All our cities and our possessions, all mountains and hills, and fields, and herds of oxen, and flocks of cheep, and goats, and horses, and camels, and all our goods, and families are in thy sight: ⁴ Let all we have be subject to thy law. ⁵ Both we and our children are thy servants. ⁶ Come to us a peaceable lord, and use our service as it shall please thee. ⁷ Then he came down from the mountains with horsemen, in great power, and made himself master of every city, and all the inhabitants of the land. ⁸ And from all the cities he took auxiliaries valiant men, and chosen for war. ⁹ And so great a fear lay upon all those provinces, that the inhabitants of all the cities, both princes and nobles, as well as the people, went out to meet him at his coming. ¹⁰ And received him with garlands, and lights, and dances, and tumbrels, and flutes. ¹¹ And though they did these things, they could not for all that mitigate the fierceness of his heart: ¹² For he both destroyed their cities and cut down their groves. ¹³ For Nabuchodonosor the king had commanded him to destroy all the gods of the earth, that he only might be called God by those nations which could be brought under him by the power of Holofernes. ¹⁴ And when he had passed through all Syria Sobal, and all Apamea, and all Mesopotamia, he came to the Idumeans into the land of Gabaa, ¹⁵ And he took possession of their cities, and stayed there for thirty days, in which days he commanded all the troops of his army to be united.

KJV⁽ⁱ⁾ ¹ So they sent ambassadors unto him to treat of peace, saying, ² Behold, we the servants of Nabuchodonosor the great king lie before thee; use us as shall be good in thy sight. ³ Behold, our houses, and all our places, and all our fields of wheat, and flocks, and herds, and all the lodges of our tents lie before thy face; use them as it pleaseth thee. ⁴ Behold, even our cities and the inhabitants thereof are thy servants; come and deal with them as seemeth good unto thee. ⁵ So the men came to Holofernes, and declared unto him after this manner. ⁶ Then came he down toward the sea coast, both he and his army, and set garrisons in the high cities, and took out of them chosen men for aid. ⁷ So they and all the country round about received them with garlands, with dances, and with timbrels. ⁸ Yet he did cast down their frontiers, and cut down their groves: for he had decreed to destroy all the gods of the land, that all nations should worship Nabuchodonosor only, and that all tongues and tribes should call upon him as god. ⁹ Also he came over against Esdraelon near unto Judea, over against the great strait of Judea. ¹⁰ And he pitched between Geba and Scythopolis, and there he tarried a whole month, that he might gather together all the carriages of his army.
