Daniel 13:30-39 New American Bible, Revised Edition (NABRE)

30. she came with her parents, children and all her relatives.

31. Susanna, very delicate and beautiful,

32. was veiled; but those transgressors of the law ordered that she be exposed so as to sate themselves with her beauty.

33. All her companions and the onlookers were weeping.

34. In the midst of the people the two old men rose up and laid their hands on her head.

35. As she wept she looked up to heaven, for she trusted in the Lord wholeheartedly.

36. The old men said, “As we were walking in the garden alone, this woman entered with two servant girls, shut the garden gates and sent the servant girls away.

37. A young man, who was hidden there, came and lay with her.

38. When we, in a corner of the garden, saw this lawlessness, we ran toward them.

39. We saw them lying together, but the man we could not hold, because he was stronger than we; he opened the gates and ran off.
