1The memory of Josias is like the composition of a sweet smell made by the art of a perfumer:La memoria di Josia è un composto di varj odori fatto per mano di un profumiere.THE memorie of Iosias is according to the confection of perfume made by the worke of an apothecarie.Memoria Josiæ in compositionem odoris facta / opus pigmentarii. 2His remembrance shall be sweet as honey in every mouth, and as music at a banquet of wine.La memoria di lui ad ogni bocca sarà dolce come il miele, e come un concerto musicale in un convito, dove si bee vino.His remembrance shal be sweete as honie in euerie mouth, and as musick in banket of wine.In omni ore quasi mel indulcabitur ejus memoria, / et ut musica in convivio vini. 3He was directed by God unto the repentance of the nation, and he took away the abominations of wickedness.Egli fu destinato da Dio a convertir la nazione, ed egli abolì le abominazioni dell'empietà.He was directed by God into the repentance of the nation, and he tooke away the abominations of impietie.Ipse est directus divinitus in pœnitentiam gentis, / et tulit abominationes impietatis. 4And he directed his heart towards the Lord, and in the days of sinners he strengthened godliness.Egli il suo cuore rivolse verso il Signore, e ne' giorni dei peccatori corroborò la pietà.And he gouerned his hart toward our Lord, and in the daies of sinners he strengthened pietie.Et gubernavit ad Dominum cor ipsius, / et in diebus peccatorum corroboravit pietatem. 5Except David, and Ezechias and Josias, all committed sin.Eccettuato David, e Ezechia, Josia. tutti gli altri peccarono:Except Dauid, and Ezechias, and Iosias, al committed sinne.Præter David et Ezechiam et Josiam, / omnes peccatum commiserunt: 6For the kings of Juda forsook the law of the most High, and despised the fear of God.Perocché abbandonarono i re di Giuda la legge dell'Altissimo, e il timore di Dio disprezzarono.For the kinges of Iuda forsooke the law of the Highest, and contemned the feare of God.nam reliquerunt legem Altissimi reges Juda, / et contempserunt timorem Dei. 7So they gave their kingdom to others, and their glory to a strange nation,Per la qual cosa il proprio regno cederono ad altri, e la loro gloria a una straniera nazione.For they gaue their kingdom to others, and their glorie to a strange nation.Dederunt enim regnum suum aliis, / et gloriam suam alienigenæ genti. 8They burnt the chosen city of holiness, and made the streets thereof desolate according to the prediction of Jeremias.Eglino miser il fuoco nella eletta, e santa città, e deserte rendettero le sue contrade secondo la predizione di Geremia.They burnt the chosen citie of holines, and made the waies thereof desolate in the hand of Ieremie.Incenderunt electam sanctitatis civitatem, / et desertas fecerunt vias ipsius in manu Jeremiæ.

9For they treated him evil, who was consecrated a prophet from his mother’s womb, to overthrow, and pluck up, and destroy, and to build again, and renew.Perocché essi maltrattarono lui, il quale fin dall'utero della madre fu consagrato profeta per abbattere, e sradicare, e distruggere, e poscia riedificare, e ristorare.For they euil intreated him, who was consecrated a prophet from his mothers wombe, to ouerthrow, and pluck vp, and destroy, and to build againe, and renewe.Nam male tractaverunt illum / qui a ventre matris consecratus est propheta, / evertere, et eruere, et perdere, / et iterum ædificare, et renovare: 10It was Ezechiel that saw the glorious vision, which was shewn him upon the chariot of cherubims.Ezechielle poi vide lo spettacolo della gloria mostrata a lui dal Signore sul cocchio de' Cherubini.Ezechiel who saw the sight of glorie, which he shewed him in the chariote of Cherubs.Ezechiel, qui vidit conspectum gloriæ / quam ostendit illi in curru cherubim. 11For he made mention of the enemies under the figure of rain, and of doing good to them that shewed right ways.Ed egli sotto la figura della pioggia parlò dei nemici (di Dio), e del bene, che questi fa a coloro, che si mostrarono retti nelle vie loro.For he made mention of the enemies in rayne, to doe good vnto them, that haue shewed right waies.Nam commemoratus est inimicorum in imbre, / benefacere illis qui ostenderunt rectas vias. 12And may the bones of the twelve prophets spring up out of their place: for they strengthened Jacob, and redeemed themselves by strong faith.E rifioriscano di là, dove giacciono le ossa dei dodici profeti; perocché essi ristoraron Giacobbe; e mediante la potente loro fede liberaron se stessi.And the bones of the twelue prophets wel may they spring out of their place: for they haue strengthened Iacob, and haue redeemed themselues in the fidelitie of power.Et duodecim prophetarum ossa pullulent de loco suo: / nam corroboraverunt Jacob, / et redemerunt se in fide virtutis. 13How shall we magnify Zorobabel? for he was as a signet on the right hand;Che direm noi in commendazione di Zorobabel? Di lui, che fu come un anello nella destra mano;How may we magnifie Zorobabel, for he also was as a signet on the right hand,Quomodo amplificemus Zorobabel ? / nam et ipse quasi signum in dextera manu: 14In like manner Jesus the son of Josedec who in their days built the house, and set up a holy temple to the Lord, prepared for everlasting glory.E parimente di Gesù figliuolo di Josedech? perocché questi a' tempi loro edificaron la casa, e innalzarono al Signore il tempio santo destinato ad una gloria sempiterna.and so Iesus the sonne of Iosedec? who in their daies built the house, and erected the holie temple to our Lord, prepared to euerlasting glorie.sic et Jesum filium Josedec, / qui in diebus suis ædificaverunt domum, / et exaltaverunt templum sanctum Domino, / paratum in gloriam sempiternam.

15And let Nehemias be a long time remembered, who raised up for us our walls that were cast down, and set up the gates and the bars, who rebuilt our houses.Durerà lungamente la memoria di Neemia, il quale rialzò le nostre mura abbattute, e vi ripose le porte, e i le sbarre, e ristaurò le nostre abitazioni.And Nehemias in the memorie of much time, who erected vs our walles ouerthrowen, and set vp the gates and lockes, who built our houses.Et Nehemias in memoriam multi temporis, / qui erexit nobis muros eversos, / et stare fecit portas et seras, / qui erexit domos nostras. 16No man was born upon earth like Henoch: for he also was taken up from the earth.Non nacque uom sulla terra simile ad Henoch, il quale fu ancora rapito dalla terra.No man hath bene borne in the earth like to Henoch: for he also was taken vp from the earth.Nemo natus est in terra qualis Henoch, / nam et ipse receptus est a terra: 17Nor as Joseph, who was a man born prince of his brethren, the support of his family, the ruler of his brethren, the stay of the people:Né simile a Giuseppe nato per essere il principe de' fratelli, il sostegno della nazione, guida de' fratelli, fermezza del popolo:Neither as Ioseph who was a man borne prince of his bretheren, the stay of the nation, the ruler of his bretheren, the stay of the people:neque ut Joseph, qui natus est homo princeps fratrum, / firmamentum gentis, rector fratrum, stabilimentum populi: 18And his bones were visited, and after death they prophesied.Le ossa di lui furono visitate, e profetarono dopo la morte.and his bones were visited, and after death they prophecied.et ossa ipsius visitata sunt, / et post mortem prophetaverunt. 19Seth and Sem obtained glory among men: and above every soul Adam in the beginning.Seth, e Sem furono celebrati dagli uomini, e Adamo è sopra tutte le creature per la sua origine.Seth, and Sem obteyned glorie with men: and aboue euerie soule, in the beginning Adam.Seth et Sem apud homines gloriam adepti sunt, / et super omnem animam in origine Adam.
