Susanna ab improbis senibus obsessam se videns, | |||
qui forma ejus capti eam, nisi sibi obsequeretur | |||
adulteri se accusaturos minitabantur, | |||
ingenuit et ait: Angustiae mihi sunt undique, si enim hoc egero, mors mihi est | |||
Si autem non egero non effugium manus vestras, sed melius est mihi | |||
absque opere incidere in manus vestras. quam peccare in conspectu Domini. | |||
Postquam autem falso eorum testimonio damnata est, | |||
cum innocentiae suae paratum sibi supplicium videret, | |||
exclamavit et dixit: | |||
Deus aeterne, qui abscondiorum es cognitor, | |||
tu scis quoniam falsum testimonium tulerunt contra me, | |||
et ecce morior cum nihil horum fecerim | |||
quae isti malitiose composuerunt adversum me. | |||
Exaudivit autem Dominus vocem ejus | |||
et salvatus est sanguis innoxius in die illa.}} | |||

{{Translation|English| | |||
Susanna, seeing herself beset by the wicked elders, | |||
and a captive unless she admitted to the charges | |||
of adultery with which they threatened her, | |||
sighed, and said: | |||
I am straitened on every side: for if I do this thing, it is death to me: | |||
and if I do it not, I shall not escape your hands. | |||
But it is better for me to fall into your hands without doing it, than to sin in the sight of the Lord. | |||
And when she was found guilty by their false witness | |||
and, in her innocence, saw punishment being prepared, | |||
she exclaimed, and said: | |||
O eternal God, who knowest hidden things, | |||
Thou knowest that they have borne false witness against me: | |||
and behold I must die, whereas I have done none of these things, | |||
which these men have maliciously forged against me. | |||
And the Lord heard her voice | |||
And bloodshed was spared on that day.}} | |||
