12 — Job

1Then Job answered, and said:Ma Giobbe rispose, e disse:BV• Iob answering, sayd:Respondens autem Job, dixit: 2Are you then men alone, and shall wisdom die with you?Dunque soli voi siete uomini, e con voi morrà la saggezza?Are you then men alone, & shal wisedome die with you?Ergo vos estis soli homines, / et vobiscum morietur sapientia ? 3I also have a heart as well as you: for who is ignorant of these things, which you know?Io pure ho un cuore come voi, né a voi la cedo; perocché chi non sa queste cose, che voi sapete?I also haue a hart euen as you, neither am I inferiour to you: for who is ignorāt of these thinges, which you know?Et mihi est cor sicut et vobis, nec inferior vestri sum; / quis enim hæc quæ nostis ignorat ? 4He that is mocked by his friends as I, shall call upon God and he will hear him: for the simplicity of the just man is laughed to scorn.Chi del proprio amico soffre, com'io, gli scherni, invochi Dio, ed egli lo esaudirà; perocché la semplicità del giusto è derisa.He that is mocked of his frend as I, shal inuocate God & he wil heare him: for the simplicitie of the iust man is scorned.Qui deridetur ab amico suo, sicut ego, / invocabit Deum, et exaudiet eum: / deridetur enim justi simplicitas. 5The lamp despised in the thoughts of the rich, is ready for the time appointed.Egli è una lampana di nissun pregio nel concetto dei ricchi, ma preparata pel tempo stabilito.The lampe contemned in the cogitations of the riche, is prepared to the time appointed.Lampas contempta apud cogitationes divitum / parata ad tempus statutum. 6The tabernacles of robbers abound, and they provoke God boldly; whereas it is he that hath given all into their hands:Le tende de' ladroni nuotano nell'abbondanza, ed eglino audaci provocano Dio, mentre egli di tutte quelle cose gli ha fatti padroni.The tabernacles of robbers abound, & they prouoke God bouldly, wheras he hath geuen al thinges into their handes.Abundant tabernacula prædonum, / et audacter provocant Deum, / cum ipse dederit omnia in manus eorum. 7But ask now the beasts, and they shall teach thee: and the birds of the air, and they shall tell thee.Or tu interroga i giumenti, e ti insegneranno, gli uccelli dell'aria, e ti daranno lezione.For aske the beastes, and they shal teach thee: and the foules of the ayre, and they shal tel thee.Nimirum interroga jumenta, et docebunt te; / et volatilia cæli, et indicabunt tibi. 8Speak to the earth, and it shall answer thee: and the fishes of the sea shall tell.L'aria alla terra, ed ella ti risponderà, ed anche i pesci del mare ti istruiranno.Speake to the earth, and it shal answer thee, and the fishes of the sea shal tel.Loquere terræ, et respondebit tibi, / et narrabunt pisces maris.

9Who is ignorant that the hand of the Lord hath made all these things?Chi non sa come tutte queste cose le fece la man del Signore?Who is ignorant that the hand of our Lord hath made al these things?Quis ignorat quod omnia hæc manus Domini fecerit ? 10In whose hand is the soul of every living thing, and the spirit of all flesh of man.Egli ha in sua mano l'anima d'ogni vivente, e lo spirito di ogni uomo composto di carne.In whose hand is the soule of euerie liuing thing, and the spirit of al the flesh of man.In cujus manu anima omnis viventis, / et spiritus universæ carnis hominis. 11Doth not the ear discern words, and the palate of him that eateth, the taste?Non è egli l'orecchio, che è giudice delle parole, come de' sapori il palato dell'uom che mangia?Doth not the eare discerne wordes, and the iawes of him that eateth, the tast?Nonne auris verba dijudicat ? / et fauces comedentis, saporem ? 12In the ancient is wisdom, and in length of days prudence.Ne' vecchi sta la sapienza, e nella lunga età la prudenza.In the ancientes is wisedom, and in long time prudence.In antiquis est sapientia, / et in multo tempore prudentia. 13With him is wisdom and strength, he hath counsel and understanding.In lui è la sapienza, e la fortezza, in lui il buon consiglio, e l'intelligenza.With him is wisedom and strength, he hath counsel and vnderstanding.Apud ipsum est sapientia et fortitudo; / ipse habet consilium et intelligentiam. 14If he pull down, there is no man that can build up: if he shut up a man, there is none that can open.Se egli distrugge, nissuno edifica, se egli rinchiude un uomo nissuno gli aprirà.If he shal destroy, there is no man that can build: if he shut vp a man, there is none that can open.Si destruxerit, nemo est qui ædificet; / si incluserit hominem, nullus est qui aperiat. 15If he withhold the waters, all things shall be dried up: and if he send them out, they shall overturn the earth.Se ei rattiene le acque inaridisce ogni cosa, se scioglie ad esse il freno, sommergeranno la terra.If he hold in the waters, al things shal be dried: and if he send them forth, they shal ouerthrow the earth.Si continuerit aquas, omnia siccabuntur; / et si emiserit eas, subvertent terram. 16With him is strength and wisdom: he knoweth both the deceivers, and him that is deceived.Con lui si sia la sapienza, e la fortezza, egli conosce l'ingannatore, e colui che è ingannato.With him is strength and wisedom: he knoweth both the deceiuer, & him that is deceiued.Apud ipsum est fortitudo et sapientia; / ipse novit et decipientem, et eum qui decipitur.
