41 — Job

1I will not stir him up, like one that is cruel, for who can resist my countenance?Non quasi crudele io lo susciterò: perocché chi può resistere alla mia faccia?NOT as cruel wil I raise him: for who can resist my contenance? Who hath geuen me before,Non quasi crudelis suscitabo eum: / quis enim resistere potest vultui meo ? 2Who hath given me before that I should repay him? All things that are under heaven are mine.Chi prima a me diede ond'io debba rendergli? Tutto è mio quanto si trova sotto del cielo.that I may render vnto him? Al thinges that are vnder heauen be myne.Quis ante dedit mihi, ut reddam ei ? / omnia quæ sub cælo sunt, mea sunt. 3I will not spare him, nor his mighty words, and framed to make supplication.Non avrò riguardo a lui, né all'efficacia delle parole fatte apposta per muovere a compassione.I wil not spare him, and his mightie wordes, and framed to beseech.Non parcam ei, et verbis potentibus, / et ad deprecandum compositis. 4Who can discover the face of his garment? or who can go into the midst of his mouth?Chi scoprirà la superficie della sua veste, e chi entrerà nel mezzo della sua gola?Who shal reuele the face of his garment: and who shal enter into the middes of his mouth:Quis revelabit faciem indumenti ejus ? / et in medium oris ejus quis intrabit ? 5Who can open the doors of his face? his teeth are terrible round about.Chi aprirà le porte della sua faccia? Intorno a' suoi denti sta il terrore.Who shal open the gate of his countenance? dreade is round about his teeth.Portas vultus ejus quis aperiet ? / per gyrum dentium ejus formido. 6His body is like molten shields, shut close up with scales pressing upon one another.Il suo corpo è come scudi di bronzo fatti al getto, e costrutto di squamme conteste insieme.His bodie as shildes that are cast, compact with skales fast cleauing together.Corpus illius quasi scuta fusilia, / compactum squamis se prementibus. 7One is joined to another, and not so much as any air can come between them:L'una si unisce all'altra, e non resta tra d'esse veruno spiraglio:One is ioyned to an other, and not so much as anie ayre entereth betwen them:Una uni conjungitur, / et ne spiraculum quidem incedit per eas. 8They stick one to another and they hold one another fast, and shall not be separated.E attaccata l'una all'altra, e si tengono in guisa, che mai saran separate.One shal sticke to an other, & holding eche other, they shal not be seperated.Una alteri adhærebit, / et tenentes se nequaquam separabuntur.

9His sneezing is like the shining of fire, and his eyes like the eyelids of the morning.S'egli starnuta getta scintille al fuoco, e gli occhi di lui qual è la luce del mattino.His sneesing is as the shining of fire, & his eies as the twinklings of the morning.Sternutatio ejus splendor ignis, / et oculi ejus ut palpebræ diluculi. 10Out of his mouth go forth lamps, like torches of lighted fire.Dalla bocca di lui escono facelle come tizzoni di fuoco acceso.Out of his mouth procede lampes, as it were torches of lighted fire.De ore ejus lampades procedunt, / sicut tædæ ignis accensæ. 11Out of his nostrils goeth smoke, like that of a pot heated and boiling.Dalle narici di lui esce fumo, come da bollente caldaia.Out of his nosthrels procedeth smoke, as it were of a pot heated and boylingDe naribus ejus procedit fumus, / sicut ollæ succensæ atque ferventis. 12His breath kindleth coals, and a flame cometh forth out of his mouth.Il suo fiato accende i carboni, ed escon fiamme dalla sua bocca.His breath maketh coales to burne, & a flame cometh fotth out of his mouth.Halitus ejus prunas ardere facit, / et flamma de ore ejus egreditur. 13In his neck strength shall dwell, and want goeth before his face.Nel suo collo sta la fortezza, e innanzi a lui va la fame.In his necke shal strength abide, & needines goeth before his face.In collo ejus morabitur fortitudo, / et faciem ejus præcedit egestas. 14The members of his flesh cleave one to another: he shall send lightnings against him, and they shall not be carried to another place.Le membra del suo corpo sono ben compatte tra di loro; lancerà (Dio) sopra di lui i fulmini, ed egli non passerà ad altro luogo.The members of his flesh cleaue together one to an other: he shal send lightnings against him, and he shal not be caried to an other place.Membra carnium ejus cohærentia sibi: / mittet contra eum fulmina, et ad locum alium non ferentur. 15His heart shall be as hard as a stone, and as firm as a smith’s anvil,Il cuore di lui è duro come la pietra, e saldo come l'incudine battuta da martello.His hart shal be hardened as a stone, and shal be stifly compact as the smithes stithie.Cor ejus indurabitur tamquam lapis, / et stringetur quasi malleatoris incus. 16When he shall raise him up, the angels shall fear, and being affrighted shall purify themselves.Quand'egli si alza su ritto, gli Angeli ne prendon paura, e sbigottiti ricorrono alle espiazioni.When he shal be taken away, the Angels shal feare, and being feared shal be purged.Cum sublatus fuerit, timebunt angeli, / et territi purgabuntur.

17When a sword shall lay at him, it shall not be able to hold, nor a spear, nor a breastplate.Se uno lo assalisce, né spada, né lancia, né usbergo non son buoni contro di lui:When the sword shal apprehend him, neither speare, nor brestplate shal be able to abide.Cum apprehenderit eum gladius, subsitere non poterit, / neque hasta, neque thorax: 18For he shall esteem iron as straw, and brass as rotten wood.Perocché egli il ferro disprezzerà come paglia, e il bronzo come fracido legno.For he shal esteme yron as chaffe, and brasse, as rotten wood.reputabit enim quasi paleas ferrum, / et quasi lignum putridum æs. 19The archer shall not put him to flight, the stones of the sling are to him like stubble.L'uomo valente in arco noi metterà in fuga; paglia secca divengon per lui i sassi de' frombolatori.The bowman shal not put him to flight, the stones of the sling, to him are turned into stubble.Non fugabit eum vir sagittarius: / in stipulam versi sunt ei lapides fundæ. 20As stubble will he esteem the hammer, and he will laugh him to scorn who shaketh the spear.Stimerà come secca paglia il martello, e della lancia imbrandita si burlerà.As stubble wil he esteme the hammer, and he wil laugh him to skorne that shaketh the speare.Quasi stipulam æstimabit malleum, / et deridebit vibrantem hastam. 21The beams of the sun shall be under him, and he shall strew gold under him like mire.Egli avrà sotto di se i raggi del sole, e si metterà a giacere sopra l'oro come sul fango.The beames of the sunne shal be vnder him, and he shal straw gold vnder him as durt.Sub ipso erunt radii solis, / et sternet sibi aurum quasi lutum. 22He shall make the deep sea to boil like a pot, and shall make it as when ointments boil.Farà bollire come una caldaia il mar profondo, e renderallo come un pentolo di unguenti, che gorgoglian sul fuoco.He shal make the deepe sea to boyle as a pot, and shal put it as when ointmentes boyle.Fervescere faciet quasi ollam profundum mare, / et ponet quasi cum unguenta bulliunt. 23A path shall shine after him, he shall esteem the deep as growing old.Lascia dietro di se lucente il sentiero, e da all'abisso il colore della vecchiezza.A path shal shine after him, he shal esteme the depth as waxing old.Post eum lucebit semita: / æstimabit abyssum quasi senescentem. 24There is no power upon earth that can be compared with him who was made to fear no one,Non v'ha possanza sulla terra, che a lui si paragoni, il quale fu fatto per non aver paura d'alcuno.There is no power vpon the earth, that may be compared with him, who is made to feare no man.Non est super terram potestas quæ comparetur ei, / qui factus est ut nullum timeret. 25He beholdeth every high thing, he is king over all the children of pride.Tutte le alte cose egli sprezza; egli è il re di tutti i figliuoli della superbia.He seeth euerie high thing, he is king ouer al the children of pryde.Omne sublime videt: / ipse est rex super universos filios superbiæ.
