Job’s hope in God: he expects rest in death.

1My spirit shall be wasted, my days shall be shortened and only the grave remaineth for me.Si va consumando il mio spirito, si accorciano i giorni miei, e solo per me vi resta il sepolcro.MY spirit shal be extenuated, my daies shal be shortened, and the graue only remaineth for me.Spiritus meus attenuabitur; / dies mei breviabuntur: / et solum mihi superest sepulchrum. 2I have not sinned, and my eye abideth in bitterness.Io non peccai, e gli occhi miei nuotano nelle amarezze.I haue not sinned, and mine eie abideth in bitternesse.Non peccavi, / et in amaritudinibus moratur oculus meus. 3Deliver me, O Lord, and set me beside thee, and let any man’s hand fight against me.Liberami, o Signore, e pommi presso di te, e chicchessia armi sua mano a combattere contro di me.Deliuer me, and set me beside thee, and let anie mans hand fight against me.Libera me, Domine, et pone me juxta te, / et cujusvis manus pugnet contra me. 4Thou hast set their heart far from understanding, therefore they shall not be exalted.Il loro cuore hai tenuto lontano dalla saggezza; per questo ei non saranno esaltati.Thou hast made their hart far from discipline, and therfore they shal not be exalted.Cor eorum longe fecisti a disciplina: / propterea non exaltabuntur. 5He promiseth a prey to his companions, and the eyes of his children shall fail.Egli promette acquisti a' suoi compagni; ma gli occhi de' suoi figliuoli verranno meno.He promiseth a praye to his felowes, and the eies of his children shal faile.Prædam pollicetur sociis, / et oculi filiorum ejus deficient. 6He hath made me as it were a byword of the people, and I am an example before them.Egli mi ha renduto quasi favola del volgo, e sono negli occhi loro oggetto di orrore.He hath set me as it were for a prouerbe of the comon people, and I am an example before them.Posuit me quasi in proverbium vulgi, / et exemplum sum coram eis. 7My eye is dim through indignation, and my limbs are brought as it were to nothing.Pel gran dispetto ho perduto il lume degli occhi, e le mie membra son quasi ridotte nel nulla.Mine eie is dimne for indignation, and my members are brought as it were to nothing.Caligavit ab indignatione oculus meus, / et membra mea quasi in nihilum redacta sunt. 8The just shall be astonished at this, and the innocent shall be raised up against the hypocrite.Rimarranno di ciò stupefatti i giusti, e l'innocente si leverà contro l'ipocrita.The iust shal be astonied vpon this, and the innocent shal be raised vp against the hypocrite.Stupebunt justi super hoc, / et innocens contra hypocritam suscitabitur.

9And the just man shall hold on his way, and he that hath clean hands shall be stronger and stronger.Ma il giusto terrà sua strada, e quegli, che ha pure le mani crescerà in fortezza.And the iust shal hold his way, and with cleane handes shal adde strength.Et tenebit justus viam suam, / et mundis manibus addet fortitudinem. 10Wherefore be you all converted, and come, and I shall not find among you any wise man.Voi pertanto cangiate di parere, e venite, ed io non troverò tra voi verun capiente.Be al you therfore conuerted, and come, and I shal not finde among you anie wiseman.Igitur omnes vos convertimini, et venite, / et non inveniam in vobis ullum sapientem. 11My days have passed away, my thoughts are dissipated, tormenting my heart.Sen fuggono i giorni miei, i miei disegni si risolvono in fumo, e mi tormentano il cuore.My daies haue passed, my cogitations are dissipated, tormenting my hart:Dies mei transierunt; / cogitationes meæ dissipatæ sunt, / torquentes cor meum. 12They have turned night into day, and after darkness I hope for light again.La notte hanno cambiata in giorno, e di nuovo dopo le tenebre spero la luce.Night they haue turned into day, and againe after darkenesse I hope for light.Noctem verterunt in diem, / et rursum post tenebras spero lucem. 13If I wait hell is my house, and I have made my bed in darkness.Quand'io avrò aspettato pazientemente, la mia casa el' è il sepolcro, e nelle tenebre ho disteso il mio letticciuolo.If I shal expect hel is my house, and in darkenesse I haue made my bed.Si sustinuero, infernus domus mea est, / et in tenebris stravi lectulum meum. 14I have said to rottenness: Thou art my father; to worms, my mother and my sister.Alla putredine ho detto tu se' mio padre, e ai vermi voi siete mia madre, e mia sorella,I haue sayd to rottenes: Thou art my father, my mother, and my sister, to wormes.Putredini dixi: Pater meus es; / Mater mea, et soror mea, vermibus. 15Where is now then my expectation, and who considereth my patience?Dov' è adunque adesso la mia espettazione, e chi è che consideri la mia pazienza?Where is now then my expectation, and my patience who considereth.Ubi est ergo nunc præstolatio mea ? / et patientiam meam quis considerat ? 16All that I have shall go down into the deepest pit: thinkest thou that there at least I shall have rest?Nel cupo sepolcro scenderà ogni cosa con me; credi tu che ivi almeno io avrò requie?Al my thinges shal descend into most deepe hel: there at the least, shal I haue rest thinkest thou?In profundissimum infernum descendent omnia mea: / putasne saltem ibi erit requies mihi ?
