A man named Joakim once lived in Babylon.
His wife Susanna, Hilkiah’s daughter, was very beautiful and honored the Lord.
Her parents were good people, and they taught their daughter according to the Law from Moses.
Joakim was very rich, and he had a large private garden next to his home. The Jews came to him because he was the most honored among them.
Two elders among the people had been appointed as judges that year. It was about them that the Lord had spoken: “Lawless disorder has come out of Babylon, from elders, from judges who were supposed to guide the people.”
These men spent a lot of time at Joakim’s house, and all the people with lawsuits came to them.
When the people went away in the middle of the day, Susanna would walk around her husband’s private garden.
Every day the two elders would see her coming in and walking around, and they desired her sexually.
They ceased thinking clearly, neither looking to heaven nor caring about justice.
Both of them thought about her and nothing else, but they didn’t tell each other their craving,
because they were ashamed to admit how they desired her and wanted to be with her.
But they were on the lookout every day, eager to get a glimpse of her.
One said to the other, “It’s time for lunch. Let’s go home.” They split up and left,
but doubling back, they met again at the same place. They started asking each other for an explanation, and so each confessed his desire. Then they plotted together for a time when they would be able to find her alone.
When they were watching closely for the right moment, Susanna came by, just as she had the day before and the day before that, alone with her two female servants. She wanted to bathe in the privacy of the garden, since it was hot.
No one was there except the two elders, who were hidden and spying on her.
She said to her female servants, “Please bring me some olive oil and lotion and lock the gates so I can bathe.”
They did just what she said. They locked the gates to the garden and went through the side doors into the house to fetch the things she had wanted. They didn’t see the elders, since they were hiding.
When the female servants went out, the two elders stood up and ran at her.
They said, “Look, the gates are locked, and nobody can see us. We desire you, so do what we want and have sex with us.
If you don’t, we’ll swear that you were meeting with a young man, and that’s why you sent your female servants away.”
Susanna groaned. “I’m trapped! If I do this, it’s death; but if I don’t, I still won’t escape your plotting.
But I’d rather not do this and fall into your hands, than sin in the Lord’s sight.”
So Susanna screamed, and at the same time the two elders called out.
One of them ran and opened the gates to the garden.
When people in the house heard the shouting in the garden, they ran out through the side doors to see what had happened to Susanna.
When the two elders had their say, the servants were very ashamed because nothing like this had ever been said about Susanna.
The next day when the people came to her husband Joakim, the two elders came too, full of their immoral scheme to have Susanna killed. They said in front of the people,
“Call Susanna, Hilkiah’s daughter, who is married to Joakim.” So they called her in.
She came with her parents, her children, and all her relatives.
Now Susanna was elegant, beautiful in appearance.
The criminals ordered the veil that she was wearing to be removed so they could soak in her beauty.
But her household and all who saw her were crying.
Upon taking the stand in front of everybody, the elders laid their hands on Susanna’s head to give testimony.
But she looked up to heaven while crying because she trusted the Lord.
The elders said, “While we were walking around the large garden by ourselves, this woman came in with two female servants. She locked the gates of the garden and sent away the female servants.
Then a young man, who had been hiding, came and lay with her.
We were in a corner of the garden, and when we saw this lawless act, we went running to them.
We saw them having sex, but we couldn’t hold on to the man because he was stronger than we were. He opened the gates and ran away.
So we grabbed this woman and asked who the young man was,
but she wouldn’t tell us. To this we swear.” The assembly believed them because they were the people’s elders and judges. So they sentenced Susanna to death.
Susanna screamed out: “Eternal God, you know what is hidden; you see everything before it happens.
You know they’ve lied in this court about me! Look, I’m going to die, although I didn’t do any of the things these men accuse in their malice!”
The Lord heard her cry.
As she was being led away to die, God stirred up the holy spirit of a young man named Daniel.
He shouted out loud, “I’m innocent of this woman’s blood!”
All the people turned to him and asked, “What are you saying?!”
He stood among them and said, “Are you so stupid, Israelites, that you’ve sentenced an Israelite woman to death without cross-examining or finding the facts?
Go back to court: these men have given false testimony against her.”
Everyone rushed back. The other elders said to Daniel, “Sit here with us and advise us, since God has given you the status of an elder.”
Daniel told them, “Separate them from each other, and I’ll cross-examine them.”
When they had been separated from each other, he called in one of the judges and said to him, “The sins you did earlier are catching up to you now at the end of a long evil life.
You judged unfairly, sentencing the innocent to death, and letting the guilty go, even though the Lord says, ‘You will not sentence innocent and good people to death.’
Now then, if you really saw this woman, tell me this. Under what tree did you see them having sex?” He said, “Under a clove tree.”
Daniel said, “Right! You lied! It’s on your own head! Already God’s angel has orders to cleave you down the middle!”
Then setting that one aside, he ordered them to bring in the other judge. He said to him, “You’re a Canaanite and not from Judah. Beauty seduced you, and sexual desire twisted your mind.
You treated women from Israel this way, and they had sex with you because they were afraid of you. But this woman from Judah wouldn’t tolerate your lawless immorality.
So tell me now: Under what tree did you catch them having sex with each other?” He said, “Under a yew.”
Daniel said to him, “Right! You lied too! It’s on your own head. God’s angel waits with his sword to hew you down the middle, to destroy both of you.”
Then the whole assembly started shouting out praises to the God who saves those who hope in him.
They rose up against the two elders, because Daniel had shown from their own words that they were false witnesses. They treated them in the same way that they had plotted to treat their neighbor.
By following the Law from Moses, they killed them. Innocent blood was saved that day.
Hilkiah and his wife gave thanks that their daughter Susanna had not been found guilty of a shameful crime. Her husband Joakim and all their relatives also gave thanks.
From that day Daniel was honored among the people.
There was a man living in Babylon whose name was Joakim.
He married the daughter of Hilkiah, named Susanna, a very beautiful woman and one who feared the Lord.
Her parents were righteous, and had trained their daughter according to the law of Moses.
Joakim was very rich, and had a fine garden adjoining his house; the Jews used to come to him because he was the most honoured of them all.
That year two elders from the people were appointed as judges. Concerning them the Lord had said: ‘Wickedness came forth from Babylon, from elders who were judges, who were supposed to govern the people.’
These men were frequently at Joakim’s house, and all who had a case to be tried came to them there.
When the people left at noon, Susanna would go into her husband’s garden to walk.
Every day the two elders used to see her, going in and walking about, and they began to lust for her.
They suppressed their consciences and turned away their eyes from looking to Heaven or remembering their duty to administer justice.
Both were overwhelmed with passion for her, but they did not tell each other of their distress,
for they were ashamed to disclose their lustful desire to seduce her.
Day after day they watched eagerly to see her.
One day they said to each other, ‘Let us go home, for it is time for lunch.’ So they both left and parted from each other.
But turning back, they met again; and when each pressed the other for the reason, they confessed their lust. Then together they arranged for a time when they could find her alone.
Once, while they were watching for an opportune day, she went in as before with only two maids, and wished to bathe in the garden, for it was a hot day.
No one was there except the two elders, who had hidden themselves and were watching her.
She said to her maids, ‘Bring me olive oil and ointments, and shut the garden doors so that I can bathe.’
They did as she told them: they shut the doors of the garden and went out by the side doors to bring what they had been commanded; they did not see the elders, because they were hiding.
When the maids had gone out, the two elders got up and ran to her.
They said, ‘Look, the garden doors are shut, and no one can see us. We are burning with desire for you; so give your consent, and lie with us.
If you refuse, we will testify against you that a young man was with you, and this was why you sent your maids away.’
Susanna groaned and said, ‘I am completely trapped. For if I do this, it will mean death for me; if I do not, I cannot escape your hands.
I choose not to do it; I will fall into your hands, rather than sin in the sight of the Lord.’
Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and the two elders shouted against her.
And one of them ran and opened the garden doors.
When the people in the house heard the shouting in the garden, they rushed in at the side door to see what had happened to her.
And when the elders told their story, the servants felt very much ashamed, for nothing like this had ever been said about Susanna.
The next day, when the people gathered at the house of her husband Joakim, the two elders came, full of their wicked plot to have Susanna put to death. In the presence of the people they said,
‘Send for Susanna daughter of Hilkiah, the wife of Joakim.’
So they sent for her. And she came with her parents, her children, and all her relatives.
Now Susanna was a woman of great refinement and beautiful in appearance.
As she was veiled, the scoundrels ordered her to be unveiled, so that they might feast their eyes on her beauty.
Those who were with her and all who saw her were weeping.
Then the two elders stood up before the people and laid their hands on her head.
Through her tears she looked up towards Heaven, for her heart trusted in the Lord.
The elders said, ‘While we were walking in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, shut the garden doors, and dismissed the maids.
Then a young man, who was hiding there, came to her and lay with her.
We were in a corner of the garden, and when we saw this wickedness we ran to them.
Although we saw them embracing, we could not hold the man, because he was stronger than we are, and he opened the doors and got away.
We did, however, seize this woman and asked who the young man was,
but she would not tell us. These things we testify.’ Because they were elders of the people and judges, the assembly believed them and condemned her to death.
Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, ‘O eternal God, you know what is secret and are aware of all things before they come to be;
you know that these men have given false evidence against me. And now I am to die, though I have done none of the wicked things that they have charged against me!’
The Lord heard her cry.
Just as she was being led off to execution, God stirred up the holy spirit of a young lad named Daniel,
and he shouted with a loud voice, ‘I want no part in shedding this woman’s blood!’
All the people turned to him and asked, ‘What is this you are saying?’
Taking his stand among them he said, ‘Are you such fools, O Israelites, as to condemn a daughter of Israel without examination and without learning the facts?
Return to court, for these men have given false evidence against her.’
So all the people hurried back. And the rest of the elders said to him, ‘Come, sit among us and inform us, for God has given you the standing of an elder.’
Daniel said to them, ‘Separate them far from each other, and I will examine them.’
When they were separated from each other, he summoned one of them and said to him, ‘You old relic of wicked days, your sins have now come home, which you have committed in the past,
pronouncing unjust judgements, condemning the innocent and acquitting the guilty, though the Lord said, “You shall not put an innocent and righteous person to death.”
Now then, if you really saw this woman, tell me this: Under what tree did you see them being intimate with each other?’ He answered, ‘Under a mastic tree.’
And Daniel said, ‘Very well! This lie has cost you your head, for the angel of God has received the sentence from God and will immediately cut you in two.’
Then, putting him to one side, he ordered them to bring the other. And he said to him, ‘You offspring of Canaan and not of Judah, beauty has beguiled you and lust has perverted your heart.
This is how you have been treating the daughters of Israel, and they were intimate with you through fear; but a daughter of Judah would not tolerate your wickedness.
Now then, tell me: Under what tree did you catch them being intimate with each other?’ He answered, ‘Under an evergreen oak.’
Daniel said to him, ‘Very well! This lie has cost you also your head, for the angel of God is waiting with his sword to split you in two, so as to destroy you both.’
Then the whole assembly raised a great shout and blessed God, who saves those who hope in him.
And they took action against the two elders, because out of their own mouths Daniel had convicted them of bearing false witness; they did to them as they had wickedly planned to do to their neighbour.
Acting in accordance with the law of Moses, they put them to death. Thus innocent blood was spared that day.
Hilkiah and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, and so did her husband Joakim and all her relatives, because she was found innocent of a shameful deed.
And from that day onwards Daniel had a great reputation among the people.
There was a man living in Babylon whose name was Joakim.
He married the daughter of Hilkiah, named Susanna, a very beautiful woman and one who feared the Lord.
Her parents were righteous and had trained their daughter according to the law of Moses.

They suppressed their consciences and turned away their eyes from looking to heaven or remembering their duty to administer justice.
Both were overwhelmed with passion for her, but they did not tell each other of their distress,
for they were ashamed to disclose their lustful desire to have intercourse with her.
Day after day they watched eagerly to see her.
One day they said to each other, “Let us go home, for it is time for lunch.” So they both left and parted from each other.
But turning back, they met again, and when each pressed the other for the reason, they confessed their lust. Then together they arranged for a time when they could find her alone.

Hilkiah and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, and so did her husband Joakim and all her relatives, because she was found innocent of a shameful deed.
And from that day onward Daniel had a great reputation among the people.
There was a man living in Babylon whose name was Jo′akim.
And he took a wife named Susanna, the daughter of Hilki′ah, a very beautiful woman and one who feared the Lord.
Her parents were righteous, and had taught their daughter according to the law of Moses.
Jo′akim was very rich, and had a spacious garden adjoining his house; and the Jews used to come to him because he was the most honored of them all.
In that year two elders from the people were appointed as judges. Concerning them the Lord had said: “Iniquity came forth from Babylon, from elders who were judges, who were supposed to govern the people.”
These men were frequently at Jo′akim’s house, and all who had suits at law came to them.
When the people departed at noon, Susanna would go into her husband’s garden to walk.
The two elders used to see her every day, going in and walking about, and they began to desire her.
And they perverted their minds and turned away their eyes from looking to Heaven or remembering righteous judgments.
Both were overwhelmed with passion for her, but they did not tell each other of their distress,
for they were ashamed to disclose their lustful desire to possess her.
And they watched eagerly, day after day, to see her.
They said to each other, “Let us go home, for it is mealtime.”
And when they went out, they parted from each other. But turning back, they met again; and when each pressed the other for the reason, they confessed their lust. And then together they arranged for a time when they could find her alone.
Once, while they were watching for an opportune day, she went in as before with only two maids, and wished to bathe in the garden, for it was very hot.
And no one was there except the two elders, who had hid themselves and were watching her.
She said to her maids, “Bring me oil and ointments, and shut the garden doors so that I may bathe.”
They did as she said, shut the garden doors, and went out by the side doors to bring what they had been commanded; and they did not see the elders, because they were hidden.
When the maids had gone out, the two elders rose and ran to her, and said:
“Look, the garden doors are shut, no one sees us, and we are in love with you; so give your consent, and lie with us.
If you refuse, we will testify against you that a young man was with you, and this was why you sent your maids away.”
Susanna sighed deeply, and said, “I am hemmed in on every side. For if I do this thing, it is death for me; and if I do not, I shall not escape your hands.
I choose not to do it and to fall into your hands, rather than to sin in the sight of the Lord.”
Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and the two elders shouted against her.
And one of them ran and opened the garden doors.
When the household servants heard the shouting in the garden, they rushed in at the side door to see what had happened to her.
And when the elders told their tale, the servants were greatly ashamed, for nothing like this had ever been said about Susanna.
The next day, when the people gathered at the house of her husband Jo′akim, the two elders came, full of their wicked plot to have Susanna put to death.
They said before the people, “Send for Susanna, the daughter of Hilki′ah, who is the wife of Jo′akim.”
So they sent for her. And she came, with her parents, her children, and all her kindred.
Now Susanna was a woman of great refinement, and beautiful in appearance.
As she was veiled, the wicked men ordered her to be unveiled, that they might feast upon her beauty.
But her family and friends and all who saw her wept.
Then the two elders stood up in the midst of the people, and laid their hands upon her head.
And she, weeping, looked up toward heaven, for her heart trusted in the Lord.
The elders said, “As we were walking in the garden alone, this woman came in with two maids, shut the garden doors, and dismissed the maids.
Then a young man, who had been hidden, came to her and lay with her.
We were in a corner of the garden, and when we saw this wickedness we ran to them.
We saw them embracing, but we could not hold the man, for he was too strong for us, and he opened the doors and dashed out.
So we seized this woman and asked her who the young man was, but she would not tell us. These things we testify.”
The assembly believed them, because they were elders of the people and judges; and they condemned her to death.
Then Susanna cried out with a loud voice, and said, “O eternal God, who dost discern what is secret, who art aware of all things before they come to be,
thou knowest that these men have borne false witness against me. And now I am to die! Yet I have done none of the things that they have wickedly invented against me!”
The Lord heard her cry.
And as she was being led away to be put to death, God aroused the holy spirit of a young lad named Daniel;
and he cried with a loud voice, “I am innocent of the blood of this woman.”
All the people turned to him, and said, “What is this that you have said?”
Taking his stand in the midst of them, he said, “Are you such fools, you sons of Israel? Have you condemned a daughter of Israel without examination and without learning the facts?
Return to the place of judgment. For these men have borne false witness against her.”
Then all the people returned in haste. And the elders said to him, “Come, sit among us and inform us, for God has given you that right.”
And Daniel said to them, “Separate them far from each other, and I will examine them.”
When they were separated from each other, he summoned one of them and said to him, “You old relic of wicked days, your sins have now come home, which you have committed in the past,
pronouncing unjust judgments, condemning the innocent and letting the guilty go free, though the Lord said, ‘Do not put to death an innocent and righteous person.’
Now then, if you really saw her, tell me this: Under what tree did you see them being intimate with each other?” He answered, “Under a mastic tree.”
And Daniel said, “Very well! You have lied against your own head, for the angel of God has received the sentence from God and will immediately cut you in two.”
Then he put him aside, and commanded them to bring the other. And he said to him, “You offspring of Canaan and not of Judah, beauty has deceived you and lust has perverted your heart.
This is how you both have been dealing with the daughters of Israel, and they were intimate with you through fear; but a daughter of Judah would not endure your wickedness.
Now then, tell me: Under what tree did you catch them being intimate with each other?” He answered, “Under an evergreen oak.”
And Daniel said to him, “Very well! You also have lied against your own head, for the angel of God is waiting with his sword to saw you in two, that he may destroy you both.”
Then all the assembly shouted loudly and blessed God, who saves those who hope in him.
And they rose against the two elders, for out of their own mouths Daniel had convicted them of bearing false witness;
and they did to them as they had wickedly planned to do to their neighbor; acting in accordance with the law of Moses, they put them to death. Thus innocent blood was saved that day.
And Hilki′ah and his wife praised God for their daughter Susanna, and so did Jo′akim her husband and all her kindred, because nothing shameful was found in her.
And from that day onward Daniel had a great reputation among the people.
A man was in Babylon, and his name was Joakim./Here beginneth an epistle of (or about) holy Susanna. In those days a man was in Babylon, and his name was Joakim. [A man was in Babylon, and the name of him Joakim.]
And he took a wife, Susanna by name, the daughter of Hilkiah, a woman full fair, and dreading the Lord.
Forsooth her father and mother, when they were rightful, taught their daughter by the law of Moses. [Forsooth the father and mother of her, when they were just, learned their daughter after the law of Moses.]
Soothly Joakim was full rich, and had a garden nigh his house; and the Jews came to him, for he was the most worshipful of (or than) all (the others). [Forsooth Joakim was full rich, and to him was a garden nigh to his house; and Jews came together to him, for he was more honourable of all.]
And twain eld men were ordained to be judges in that year, of which the Lord spake, that wickedness went out of Babylon, of (or from) the elder judges, that seemed to govern the people. [And two old doomsmen be ordained in that year, of which the Lord spake, for wickedness went out of Babylon, of the elder judges which were seen for to rule the people.]
These judges used often the house of Joakim; and all men that had dooms came to them. [These often haunted the house of Joakim; and all that had dooms came to them.]
Forsooth when the people had (re)turned again (home) after midday, Susanna entered, and walked in the garden of her husband.
And the (two) elder men saw her entering each day, and walking; and they burnt out into the covetousness or concupiscence of (or for) her. [And the (two) elder men saw her each day entering, and walking; and they burned in the covetousness of her.]
And they turned away their wit, and bowed down their eyes, (so) that they saw not heaven, neither bethought on just dooms. [And they turned away their wit, and bowed away their eyes, that they should not see heaven, neither should have mind on just dooms.]
Soothly both were wounded by the love of (or for) her, and they showed not their sorrow to themselves together (or to each other); [Forsooth both were wounded in the love of her, neither showed to themselves their sorrow;]
for they were ashamed to show to themselves (or to each other) their covetousness or concupiscence, willing (or desiring) to lie fleshly by her. [forsooth they shamed for to show to themselves their covetousness, willing for to lie with her.]
And they espied each day more busily to see her. [And they espied each day busilier for to see her.]
And the one said to the tother, Go we home, for the hour of meat is.
And they went out, and parted from themselves. And when they had (re)turned again, they came into one place (or But then they returned again, and they came to the same place); and they asked each of (the) other (or each other) the cause, and they acknowledged their covetousness. And then in common they ordained a time, when they might find her alone.
Forsooth it was done, when they espied a covenable (or an opportune) day, she entered sometime, as yesterday and the third day ago, with two damsels alone, and would be washed in the garden; for why heat was (or it was hot).
And there was not any man (there)/And no man was there, except the two eld [or (the) two old] men hid, beholding her.
Therefore she said to the damsels, Bring ye to me oil, and ointments; and close the doors of the garden, (so) that I (can) be washed. [And she said to the maidens, Bring ye to me oil, and soap, or ointment; and shut ye the doors of the garden, that I be washed.]
And they did as she commanded; and they closed the doors of the garden, and went out by a postern (or by a back door), to bring those things that she had commanded. And they knew not, that the (two) eld [or the (two) old] men were hid within.
Soothly when the damsels were gone out, (the) twain eld men rised (up), and ran to her, and said, [Soothly when the damsels were gone out, the two old men rose, and ran to her, and said,]
Lo! the doors of the garden be closed, and no man seeth us, and we be in the covetousness or concupiscence of (or for) thee. Wherefore assent thou to us, and be thou meddled (or mingled) with us. [Lo! doors of the garden be closed, and no man seeth us, and we be in the covetousness of thee. Wherefore accord to us, and be joined with us.]
And if thou wilt not, we shall say witnessing against thee, that a young man was with thee, and for this cause thou sentest out the damsels from thee.
And Susanna inwardly sorrowed, and said, Anguishes be to me on each side; for if I do this (thing), death is to me; forsooth if I do (it) not, I shall not escape your hands. [And Susanna inwardly sorrowed, and saith, Anguishes be to me on each side; forsooth if I shall do this thing, death is to me; soothly if I shall not do, I shall not escape your hands.]
But it is better for me to fall into your hands, without work, than to do sin in the sight of the Lord. [But better it is to me for to fall without work into your hands, than for to sin in the sight of the Lord.]
And (then) Susanna cried with (a) great (or with a loud) voice, but also the eld men cried (out) against her. [And Susanna cried with a great voice, forsooth and the old men cried against her.]
Forsooth one ran, and opened the door of (or to) the garden. [Soothly the one ran, and opened the door of the garden.]
Soothly when the servants of the house had heard the cry in the garden, they fell in by the postern (or by the back door), to see what it was.
But after that the eld men spake, the servants were ashamed greatly, for never was such a word said of (or about) Susanna. [Forsooth after that the old men spake, the servants shamed greatly, for such word was never heard of Susanna.]
And the morrow day was made. And when the people was come to Joakim, her husband, also the two priests (or the two eld men) full of wicked thoughts came against Susanna, for to slay her. [And the morrow day is made. And when the people came to her husband Joakim, and the two priests (or the two old men) came full of evil thought against Susanna, for to slay her.]
And they said before all the people, Send ye to Susanna (or Send for Susanna), the daughter of Hilkiah, the wife of Joakim. And anon (or at once) they sent (for her).
And she came with her father, and mother, and children, and all [her] kinsmen.
And certainly Susanna was full delicate, either tender, and fair of shape. [Forsooth Susanna was full delicate, and fair of form, or shape.]
And those wicked men commanded, that she should be uncovered, for she was covered; that namely so (or so that namely) they should be filled of (or with) her fairness. [And those wicked men commanded, that she should be uncovered, soothly she was covered; that or so they were full-filled with fairness of her.]
Therefore her kinsmen wept, and all that knew her. [Therefore her nigh friends wept, and all that knew her.]
Forsooth the two priests (or the two old men) rised together in the midst of the people, and set their hands on the head of her. [Soothly (the) two priests rising together in (the) middle of the people, putted their hands upon the head of her.]
And she wept, and beheld to heaven, for her heart had trust in the Lord. [Which weeping beheld to heaven, forsooth the heart of her was having trust in the Lord.]
And the priests (or the two old men) said, When we walked alone in the garden, this Susanna entered with two damsels; and she closed the door of the garden, and let go the damsels. [And the priests said, When we walked alone in the garden, she this came in with two maidens; and closed the door of the garden, and left the damsels.]
And a young man, that was hid, came to her, and lay by her. [And a young man, that was hid, came to her, and did lechery with her.]
Certainly when we were in a corner of the garden, we saw the wickedness, and ran to them, [Forsooth we, when we were in a corner of the garden, seeing the wickedness, ran to them,]
and we saw them meddled together. And soothly we might not take (hold of) him, for he was stronger than we; and when he had opened the doors, he skipped out. [and we saw them for to be mingled together. And soothly we might not catch him, for he was stronger than we; and the doors opened, he leapt out.]
But when we had taken (hold of) this woman, we asked, who was the young man; and she would not show to us. Of this thing we be witnesses. [Soothly when we had caught this (woman), we asked, who was that young man; and she would not show to us. Of this thing we be witnesses.]
The multitude believed to them, as to (or because they were) the elder men and judges of the people, and condemned her to death.
Forsooth Susanna cried loud with (a) great voice, and said, Lord God, without beginning and end, thou art/that art (the) knower of hid things, that knowest all things before that they be done; [Forsooth Susanna cried with great voice, and said, Lord God everlasting, that art knower of hid things, that hast known all things before they be made;]
thou knowest, that they have borne false witnessing against me. And lo! I die, when I have not done any of these things, which these men have made (out) maliciously against me. [thou knowest, for they have borne false witnessing against me. And lo! I die, when I did nought of these things, which these (men) maliciously make together against me.]
Forsooth the Lord heard the voice of her.
And when she was led to the death, the Lord raised (up) the holy spirit of a young child (or of a young man), whose name was Daniel.
And he cried (out) loud with a great voice, I am clean of (or I am clear from) the blood of this woman.
And all the people turned again to(wards) him, and said, What is this word, which thou hast spoken? [And all the people together turned to him said, What is this word, whom thou hast spoken?]
And when he stood in the midst of them, he said, So ye, fond children of Israel, not deeming neither knowing that that is true, (have) condemned the daughter of Israel. [Which, when he stood in the middle of them, said, So ye, fools, sons of Israel, not deeming neither knowing that thing that is just, condemned the daughter of Israel.]
Turn ye again to the doom (or Return to the judgement seat), for they spake false witnessing against her. [Turn ye again to doom, for they have spoken false witnessing against her.]
Therefore the people (re)turned again with haste. And the (other) eld men of the people, not those two priests (or not those two old men), said to him, Come thou, and sit in the midst of us, and show (it) to us; for God hath given to thee the honour of (an) elder. [Therefore the people turned again with hieing. And the old men said to him, Come thou, and sit in (the) middle of us, and show thou to us; for God gave to thee honour of elder.]
And Daniel said to them, Part ye (or Separate) them atwain afar, and I shall deem them. [And Daniel said to them, Part ye them from atwain, or each from (the) other, far, and I shall wisely deem them.]
Therefore, when they were parted one from the other, he called one of them, and said to him, Thou eld man of evil days, now thy sins be come, which thou wroughtest before, [Therefore, when they were parted the tother from the tother, he called one of them, and said to him, Thou old of evil days, now thy sins come on thee, which thou wroughtest before,]
deeming unjust dooms, oppressing innocents, and delivering (or freeing) guilty men, when the Lord saith, Thou shalt not slay an innocent and just man. [deeming unjust dooms, oppressing innocents, and delivering (the) guilty, saying the Lord, Thou shalt not slay the innocent and just man.]
But now, if thou sawest her, say thou, under what tree thou sawest them speaking together to themselves (or with each other)? Which said, Under an haw(thorn) tree. [Now forsooth, if thou sawest her, say thou, under what tree thou saw them speaking to themselves (or to each other)? Which said, Under a sloe tree (or a blackthorn tree).]
Forsooth Daniel said, Rightly thou liest in (or against) thine (own) head; for lo! the angel of the Lord, by a sentence taken of (or from) him, shall cut thee by (or across) the middle. [Soothly Daniel said, Rightly thou liest into thine head; lo! forsooth an angel of the Lord, the sentence took of him, shall cut thee (across) the middle.]
And when he was (re)moved away, he commanded the tother to come, and said to him, Thou seed of Canaan, and not of Judah, fairness hath deceived thee, and covetousness hath mis-turned thine heart; [And him removed away, he commanded the tother for to come, and said to him, Seed of Canaan, and not of Judah, form, or fairness, deceived thee, and covetousness turned thine heart upside-down;]
thus ye did to (or with) the daughters of Israel, and they dreaded, and spake to (or with) you, but the daughter of Judah suffered not (or would not allow) your wickedness. [thus ye did to daughters of Israel, and they dreading spake with you, but the daughter of Judah suffered not your wickedness.]
Now therefore say to me, under what tree thou sawest them speaking together to themselves (or with each other)? Which said, Under a blackthorn (tree or shrub). [Now therefore say to me, under what tree thou sawest them speaking to themselves? Which saith, Under a plum tree.]
Forsooth Daniel said to him, Rightly also thou liest in (or against) thine (own) head; for the angel of the Lord dwelleth, and hath a sword, that he cut thee by (or across) the middle, and slay you. [Soothly Daniel said to him, Rightly and thou liest into thine head; forsooth an angel of the Lord dwelleth, having a sword, that he cut thee (across) the middle, and slay you.]
Therefore all the people cried (out) loud with (a) great voice, and blessed God, that saveth them that hope in him. [And so all the people cried with great voice, and blessed the Lord, that saveth men hoping in him.]
And they rised (up) together against the two priests (or the two old men); for Daniel had convicted them by (or with) their (own) mouth(s), (so) that they had borne false witnessing; [And they rose together against the two priests; soothly Daniel had convicted them of their mouth, for to have said false witnessing;]
and they did to them, as they had done evil (or had intended evilly to do) against the neighbouress, that they should do by the law of Moses, and they killed them. And (so) (the) guiltless blood was saved in that day. [and they did to them, as they had done evil against the neighbour, that they did after the law of Moses, and slew them. And the guiltless blood is saved in that day.]
Forsooth Hilkiah and his wife praised the Lord in that day for Susanna, their daughter, with Joakim, her husband, and with all her kinsmen, for a foul thing was not found in her. [Forsooth Hilkiah and his wife praised God in that day, for their daughter Susanna, with Joakim, her husband, and all her cousins, for foul thing was not found in her.]
Forsooth Daniel was made great in the sight of the people, from that day and afterward.
