5 — Job

1Call now, if there be any that will answer thee, and turn to some of the saints.Chiama adunque, se v'ha alcuno, che ti risponda, e ricorri ad alcuno dei santi.CAL therfore if there be that wil answer thee, & turne to some of the sainctes.Voca ergo, si est qui tibi respondeat, / et ad aliquem sanctorum convertere. 2Anger indeed killeth the foolish, and envy slayeth the little one.Veramente lo stolto è messo a morte dall'ira, e il piccolo è ucciso dall'invidia.Anger in deede killeth the foolish, and enuie slea•th the litle one.Vere stultum interficit iracundia, / et parvulum occidit invidia. 3I have seen a fool with a strong root, and I cursed his beauty immediately.Vidi io un insensato aver messe sode radici, e subito maledissi la sua appariscenza.I haue seene a foole with firme roote, and I cursed his beautie by and by.Ego vidi stultum firma radice, / et maledixi pulchritudini ejus statim. 4His children shall be far from safety, and shall be destroyed in the gate, and there shall be none to deliver them.I suoi figliuoli saran lontani dalla salute, e saran calpestati alla porta, e non troveranno liberatore.His children shalbe made far from saluation, and shal be destroyed in the gate, and there shalbe none to deliuer.Longe fient filii ejus a salute, / et conterentur in porta, / et non erit qui eruat. 5Whose harvest the hungry shall eat, and the armed man shall take him by violence, and the thirsty shall drink up his riches.Le sue messi saran divorate da un affamato, ed ei sarà condotto via dagli armati, e uomini assetati sorbiranno le sue ricchezze.Whose haruest the hungrie shal eate, & the armed shal take him by violence, and the thirstie shal drinke his riches.Cujus messem famelicus comedet, / et ipsum rapiet armatus, / et bibent sitientes divitias ejus. 6Nothing upon earth is done without a cause, and sorrow doth not spring out of the ground.Nissuna cosa si fa sulla terra senza cagione, e gli affanni non germogliano dal terreno.Nothing in the earth is done without a cause, and out of the ground sorrow shal nor rise.Nihil in terra sine causa fit, / et de humo non oritur dolor. 7Man is born to labour, and the bird to fly.Nasce l'uomo ai travagli, come al volo gli uccelli.Man is borne to labour, and the bird to flight.Homo nascitur ad laborem, / et avis ad volatum. 8Wherefore I will pray to the Lord, and address my speech to God:Per la qual cosa io pregherò il Signore, e a lui rivolgerò le mie parole,For the which thing I wil besech our Lord, and toward God I wil set my speach:Quam ob rem ego deprecabor Dominum, / et ad Deum ponam eloquium meum:

9Who doth great things, and unsearchable and wonderful things without number:Il quale fa cose grandi, e imperscrutabili, e mirabili senza numero:Who doeth great and vnsearchable and meruelous things without number:qui facit magna et inscrutabilia, / et mirabilia absque numero; 10Who giveth rain upon the face of the earth, and watereth all things with waters:Che manda la pioggia sulla faccia della terra, e tutte le cose innaffia colle acque,Who geueth raine vpon the face of the earth, and watereth al thinges with waters:qui dat pluviam super faciem terræ, / et irrigat aquis universa; 11Who setteth up the humble on high, and comforteth with health those that mourn.Che in alto pone que' che erano al basso; e gli afflitti rincora colla salute:W•o setteth the humble on high, and them that are in heauinesse he conforteth with health:qui ponit humiles in sublime, / et mœrentes erigit sospitate; 12Who bringeth to nought the designs of the malignant, so that their hands cannot accomplish what they had begun:Che dissipa le brame de' maligni, affinché non conducano a fine le mani loro quel che aveano cominciato:Who disspateth the cogitations of the malignant, that their handes can not accomplish that which they began:qui dissipat cogitationes malignorum, / ne possint implere manus eorum quod cœperant; 13Who catcheth the wise in their craftiness, and disappointeth the counsel of the wicked:Che nella loro astuzia impiglia i sapienti, e sperde i disegni de' cattivi:Who apprehendeth the wise in their sub••l•ie, and dissipareth the counsel of the wicked:qui apprehendit sapientes in astutia eorum, / et consilium pravorum dissipat. 14They shall meet with darkness in the day, and grope at noonday as in the night.In pieno giorno si troveran nelle tenebre, e nel meriggio andran tentoni come di notte.By day they shal incurre darkenesse, and as it were in the night, so shal they grope at noone daies.Per diem incurrent tenebras, / et quasi in nocte, sic palpabunt in meridie. 15But he shall save the needy from the sword of their mouth, and the poor from the hand of the violent.Ma egli salverà il meschino dalla spada della lor bocca, e il povero dalle mani dell'uom violento.Moreouer he shal saue the neede from the sword of their mouth, and the poore from the hand of the violent.Porro salvum faciet egenum a gladio oris eorum, / et de manu violenti pauperem. 16And to the needy there shall be hope, but iniquity shall draw in her mouth.E il meschino avrà speranza, o l'iniquità chiuderà la sua bocca.And to the needie there shal be hope, but iniquitie shal draw together her mouth.Et erit egeno spes; / iniquitas autem contrahet os suum.

17Blessed is the man whom God correcteth: refuse not, therefore, the chastising of the Lord.Beato l'uomo, cui Dio corregge: non disprezzar tu adunque la riprensione del Signore:Blessed is the man that is corrected of God: refuse not therfore the chastising of our Lord:Beatus homo qui corripitur a Deo: / increpationem ergo Domini ne reprobes: 18For he woundeth, and cureth: he striketh, and his hands shall heal.Perocché egli ferisce, e fascia la piaga, percuote, e medica di sua mano.Because he woundeth, and cureth: striketh, and his hands shal beale.quia ipse vulnerat, et medetur; / percutit, et manus ejus sanabunt. 19In six troubles he shall deliver thee, and in the seventh, evil shall not touch thee.Alle sei tribolazioni egli ti libererà, e alla settima il male non ti toccherà.In six tribulations he shal deliuer thee, and in the seuenth euil shal not touch thee.In sex tribulationibus liberabit te, / et in septima non tangent te malum. 20In famine he shall deliver thee from death; and in battle, from the hand of the sword.Egli nella fame ti salverà dalla morte, e dalla spada in tempo di guerra.In famine he shal deliuer thee from death; and in battel, from the hand of the sword.In fame eruet te de morte, / et in bello de manu gladii. 21Thou shalt be hidden from the scourge of the tongue: and thou shalt not fear calamity when it cometh.Sarai messo in sicuro dal flagello di lingua rea, e quando venga calamità, non ne avrai paura.From the scourge of the tongue thou shalt be hid; & thou shalt not feare calamitie when it cometh.A flagello linguæ absconderis, / et non timebis calamitatem cum venerit. 22In destruction and famine thou shalt laugh: and thou shalt not be afraid of the beasts of the earth.Nelle desolazioni, e nelle carestie tu riderai, e non temerai le fiere selvagge.In waste and famine thou shalt laugh; and the beastes of the earth thou shalt not feare.In vastitate et fame ridebis, / et bestias terræ non formidabis. 23But thou shalt have a covenant with the stones of the lands, and the beasts of the earth shall be at peace with thee.Le pietre stesse de' campi ti averanno rispetto, e le bestie selvagge mariteranno pace con te.But with the stones of the landes thy couenant, and the beastes of the earth shal be peaceable to thee.Sed cum lapidibus regionum pactum tuum, / et bestiæ terræ pacificæ erunt tibi. 24And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle is in peace, and visiting thy beauty, thou shalt not sin.E vedrai regnar la pace nel tuo padiglione, e nel governar la tua bella casa non commetterai mancamento.And thou shalt know that thy tabernacle hath peace, and visiting thy beautie, thou shalt not sinne.Et scies quod pacem habeat tabernaculum tuum; / et visitans speciem tuam, non peccabis.

25Thou shalt know also that thy seed shall be multiplied, and thy offspring like the grass of the earth.Vedrai eziandio come numerosa sarà la tua stirpe, e la tua discendenza come l'erba dei campi.Thou shalt know also that thy seed shal be manifold, and thy progenie as the grasse of the earth.Scies quoque quoniam multiplex erit semen tuum, / et progenies tua quasi herba terræ. 26Thou shalt enter into the grave in abundance, as a heap of wheat is brought in its season.Pieno di anni entrerai nel sepolcro, come si rinchiude a suo tempo una massa di grano.Thou shalt enter into the graue in abundance, as a heape of wheate is caryed in his time.Ingredieris in abundantia sepulchrum, / sicut infertur acervus tritici in tempore suo. 27Behold, this is even so, as we have searched out: which thou having heard, consider it thoroughly in thy mind.Or quello che noi abbiamo esposto è così: tu che hai ascoltato, ripensavi.Behold, this is euen so, as we haue searched out: which thou hauing heard reuolue in thy mind.Ecce hoc, ut investigavimus, ita est: / quod auditum, mente pertracta.
