Anno tertiodecimo Nabuchodonosor regis, vigesima et secunda die mensis primi, factum est verbum in domo Nabuchodonosor regis Assyriorum ut defenderet se.

In the eighteenth year, the twenty-second day of the first month, there was talk in the house of Nebuchadnezzar king of the Assyrians, that he should be avenged on all the land, even as he spoke.

在第十八年正月二十二日，亞述王尼布甲尼撒的宮中有話傳出，要照他所說的向全地報復。

2:2

Vocavitque omnes majores natu, omnesque duces et bellatores suos, et habuit cum eis mysterium consilii sui :

2:5

et dixit ei : Egredere adversus omne regnum occidentis, et contra eos præcipue, qui contempserunt imperium meum.

“Thus says the great king, the lord of all the earth: Behold, you shall go out from my presence, and take with you men who trust in their strength, to one hundred twenty thousand footmen and twelve thousand horses with their riders.

「至大的王、全地的主如此說：看哪，你要從我面前出去，帶著倚靠己力的勇士，步兵十二萬，馬兵連同騎手一萬二千，

Non parcet oculus tuus ulli regno, omnemque urbem munitam subjugabis mihi.

And you shall go out against all the west country, because they disobeyed the commandment of my mouth.

去攻打西方的全地，因為他們違背了我口中的命令。

2:7

Tunc Holofernes vocavit duces et magistratus virtutis Assyriorum, et dinumeravit viros in expeditionem sicut præcepit ei rex, centum viginti millia peditum pugnatorum, et equitum sagittariorum duodecim millia.

You shall declare to them that they should prepare earth and water, because I will go out in my wrath against them, and will cover the whole face of the earth with the feet of my army, and I will give them as plunder to them.

你要向他們宣告，叫他們預備土和水獻降，因為我必在烈怒中出去攻擊他們，用我軍兵的腳遮蓋全地的面，將他們交出來任人擄掠。

2:8

Omnemque expeditionem suam fecit præire in multitudine innumerabilium camelorum, cum his quæ exercitibus sufficerent copiose, boum quoque armenta, gregesque ovium, quorum non erat numerus.

Their slain will fill their valleys and brooks, and the river will be filled with their dead until it overflows.

Frumentum ex omni Syria in transitu suo parari constituit.

I will lead them captives to the utmost parts of all the earth.

我必把他們擄到全地的盡頭。
