32 — Job

1So these three men ceased to answer Job, because he seemed just to himself.Or que' tre uomini lasciarono di rispondere a Giobbe, perché egli si teneva per giusto.BVT these three men omitted to answer Iob, for that he seemed iust to himself.Omiserunt autem tres viri isti respondere Job, eo quod justus sibi videretur. 2And Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite of the kindred of Ram, was angry and was moved to indignation: now he was angry against Job, because he said he was just before God.Ma Eliu figliuolo di Barachel, Buzite, della stirpe di Ram diede in escandescenza, e si sdegnò contro Giobbe, perché questi diceva se esser giusto dinanzi a Dio.And Eliu the sonne of Barachel a Buzite, of the kinred of Ram, was angrie and tooke indignation: and he was angrie against Iob, for that he sayd himself to be iust before God.Et iratus indignatusque est Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, de cognatione Ram: iratus est autem adversum Job, eo quod justum se esse diceret coram Deo. 3And he was angry with his friends, because they had not found a reasonable answer, but only had condemned Job.E si adirò eziandio cogli amici di lui, perché non avean saputo trovare risposta conveniente, ma solo avean condannato Giobbe.Moreouer against his freindes he had indignation, for that they had not found a reasonable answer, but onlie had condemned Iob.Porro adversum amicos ejus indignatus est, eo quod non invenissent responsionem rationabilem, sed tantummodo condemnassent Job. 4So Eliu waited while Job was speaking because they were his elders that were speaking.Eliu adunque aspettò, che Giobbe avesse parlato, perché quelli che avean parlato innanzi eran di età maggiori;Therfore Eliu expected Iob speaking, because they were his elders that spake.Igitur Eliu expectavit Job loquentem, eo quod seniores essent qui loquebantur. 5But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was exceedingly angry.Ma quando egli vide, che i tre non potevan rispondere, ne concepì un fiero sdegno.But when he saw that the three were not able to answer, he was wrath excedingly.Cum autem vidisset quod tres respondere non potuissent, iratus est vehementer. 6Then Eliu the son of Barachel the Buzite answered, and said: I am younger in days, and you are more ancient, therefore hanging down my head, I was afraid to shew you my opinion.E presa la parola Eliu figliuolo di Barachel di Buzi disse: Io sono il più giovane di età, e voi più vecchi; per questo abbassando il capo non ho ardito di esporvi il mio sentimento.And Eliu the sonne of Barachel a Buzite answering, sayd: I am yonger in time, and you more ancient, therfore casting downe my head, I was afrayd to shewe you my sentence.Respondensque Eliu filius Barachel Buzites, dixit: Junior sum tempore, vos autem antiquiores: / idcirco, demisso capite, / veritus sum vobis indicare meam sententiam.

7For I hoped that greater age would speak, and that a multitude of years would teach wisdom.Perocché io sperava, che l'età più matura avrebbe parlato, e che i molti anni sarebber maestri di sapienza.For I hoped that longer age would speake, and that a multitude of yeares would teach wisdom.Sperabam enim quod ætas prolixior loqueretur, / et annorum multitudo doceret sapientiam. 8But, as I see, there is a spirit in men, and the inspiration of the Almighty giveth understanding.Ma per guanto io veggo lo spirito è negli uomini, ma dall'ispirazione dell'Onnipotente viene l'intelligenza.But as I see, there is a Spirite in men, and the inspiration of the Omnipotent geueth vnderstanding.Sed, ut video, spiritus est in hominibus, / et inspiratio Omnipotentis dat intelligentiam. 9They that are aged are not the wise men, neither do the ancients understand judgment.Non quelli di lunga età sono sapienti, né i vecchj son quelli, che sono capaci di ben giudicare.They of many yeares are not the wise men, neither doe the ancientes vnderstand iudgement.Non sunt longævi sapientes, / nec senes intelligunt judicium. 10Therefore I will speak: Hearken to me, I also will shew you my wisdom.Per questo io parlerò: ascoltatemi, mostrerò io pure a voi quel, ch'io mi sappia.Therfore wil I speake: Heare ye me, I also wil shew you my wisedom.Ideo dicam: Audite me: / ostendam vobis etiam ego meam sapientiam. 11For I have waited for your words, I have given ear to your wisdom, as long as you were disputing in words.Perocché io diedi luogo a' vostri ragionamenti, stetti attento alle vostre ragioni, fino a tanto che son durate le vostre dispute.For I haue expected your wordes, I haue heard your wisdom, as long as you contended in wordes.Expectavi enim sermones vestros; / audivi prudentiam vestram, / donec disceptaremini sermonibus; 12And as long as I thought you said some thing, I considered: but, as I see, there is none of you that can convince Job, and answer his words.E fintantoché io credetti, che voi foste per dir qualche cosa, stetti sullo mie; ma per quanto veggo nissun di voi può riconvenir Giobbe, né rispondere alle sue parole.And as long as I thought you said somewhat, I considered: but as I see, here is none of you that can reproue Iob, and answer to his wordes.et donec putabam vos aliquid dicere, considerabam: / sed, ut video, non est qui possit arguere Job, / et respondere ex vobis sermonibus ejus. 13Lest you should say: We have found wisdom, God hath cast him down, not man.Né mi state a dire: Noi abbiam trovato il gran punto: egli è Dio, e non un uomo colui che l'ha riprovato.Lest perhaps you may say: We haue found wisedom, God hath reiected, him not man.Ne forte dicatis: Invenimus sapientiam: / Deus projecit eum, non homo.

14He hath spoken nothing to me, and I will not answer him according to your words.Egli non ha detta parola a me, ed io non risponderò a lui a tenore de' vostri ragionamenti.He hath spoken nothing to me, and I wil not answer him according to your wordes.Nihil locutus est mihi: / et ego non secundum sermones vestros respondebo illi. 15They were afraid, and answered no more, and they left off speaking.Costoro si sono intimiditi, non han più data risposta, si sono ammutoliti.They were afrayd, and answered no more, & they haue taken away talke from themselues.Extimuerunt, nec responderunt ultra, / abstuleruntque a se eloquia. 16Therefore because I have waited, and they have not spoken: they stood, and answered no more:Dacché io pertanto ho aspettato, ed eglino non hanno parlato, han fatta pausa, e non han più risposto:Therfore because I haue expected, and they spake not: they stoode, & answered no more:Quoniam igitur expectavi, et non sunt locuti: / steterunt, nec ultra responderunt: 17I also will answer my part, and will shew my knowledge.Parlerò anch'io per la parte mia, e mostrerò il mio sapere.I also wil answer my part, and wil shew my knowledge.respondebo et ego partem meam, / et ostendam scientiam meam. 18For I am full of matter to speak of, and the spirit of my bowels straiteneth me.Perocché son pieno di cose da dire, e mi soffoga lo spirito, ch'io porto in seno.For I am ful of wordes, and the spirit of my bellie streyneth me.Plenus sum enim sermonibus, / et coarctat me spiritus uteri mei. 19Behold, my belly is as new wine which wanteth vent, which bursteth the new vessels.Come un vino nuovo, che non ha esalazione spezza i nuovi vasi, così nel mio petto succede.Behold, my bellie is as new wine without a vent, which breaketh new vessels.En venter meus quasi mustum absque spiraculo, / quod lagunculas novas disrumpit. 20I will speak and take breath a little: I will open my lips, and will answer.Parlerò affine di respirare alcun poco: aprirò le labbra, e risponderò.I wil speake, and take breath a litle: I wil open my lippes, and wil answer.Loquar, et respirabo paululum: / aperiam labia mea, et respondebo. 21I will not accept the person of man, and I will not level God with man.Non sarò accettator di persone e non agguaglierò l'uomo a Dio.I wil not accept the person of a man, and I wil not make God equal to man.Non accipiam personam viri, / et Deum homini non æquabo. 22For I know not how long I shall continue, and whether after a while my Maker may take me away.Perocché non so io quanto tempo ancor durerò, e se dopo breve spazio verrà a prendermi il mio Creatore.For I know not how long I shal continewe, and whether after a while my maker wil take me away.Nescio enim quamdiu subsistam, / et si post modicum tollat me factor meus.
