15 — Genesi

1Now when these things were done, the word of the Lord came to Abram by a vision, saying: Fear not, Abram, I am thy protector, and thy reward exceeding great.Passate che furono queste cose, il Signore parlò in visione ad Abramo, dicendo: Non temere, o Abramo: io sono il tuo protettore, e tua ricompensa grande oltremodo.VVHEN these things therfore were done, the word of our Lord was made to Abram by a vision saying: Feare not Abram, I am thy protector, & thy reward exceding great.His itaque transactis, factus est sermo Domini ad Abram per visionem dicens: Noli timere, Abram: ego protector tuus sum, et merces tua magna nimis. 2And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou give me? I shall go without children: and the son of the steward of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.E Abramo disse: Signore Dio, che mi darai tu? io me n'andrò senza figliuoli: e il figliuolo del mio maestro di casa, questo Eliezer di Damasco.And Abram said: Lord God, what wilt thou geue me? I shal goe without children: and the sonne of the stuard of my house is this Damascus Eliezer.Dixitque Abram: Domine Deus, quid dabis mihi ? ego vadam absque liberis, et filius procuratoris domus meæ iste Damascus Eliezer. 3And Abram added: But to me thou hast not given seed: and lo my servant born in my house, shall be my heir.E soggiunse Abramo: Ma a me tu non hai dato figliuolo: ed ecco che questo schiavo nato in mia casa sarà mio erede.And Abram added: But to me thou hast not geuen seede: and loe my seruant borne in my house, shal be myn heire.Addiditque Abram: Mihi autem non dedisti semen, et ecce vernaculus meus, hæres meus erit. 4And immediately the word of the Lord came to him, saying: He shall not be thy heir: but he that shall come out of thy bowels, him shalt thou have for thy heir.E tosto il Signore gli parlò, e disse: Questi non sarà tuo erede; ma quello che da' lombi tuoi uscirà, lui avrai tuo erede.And immediatly the word of our Lord came to him saying: He shal not be thy heyre: but he that shal come out of thy wombe, him shalt thou haue thin heire.Statimque sermo Domini factus est ad eum, dicens: Non erit hic hæres tuus, sed qui egredietur de utero tuo, ipsum habebis hæredem. 5And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Look up to heaven and number the stars if thou canst. And he said to him: So shall thy seed be.E lo condusse fuora, e gli disse: Mira il cielo, e conta, se puoi, le stelle. E così (dissegli) sarà la tua discendenza.And he brought him forth abroad, and said to him: Looke vp to heauen, and number the starres, if thou canst. And he said to him: So shal thy seed be.Eduxitque eum foras, et ait illi: Suscipe cælum, et numera stellas, si potes. Et dixit ei: Sic erit semen tuum.

6Abram believed God, and it was reputed to him unto justice.Abramo credette a Dio, e fugli imputato a giustizia.Abram beleued God, and it was reputed to him vnto iustice.Credidit Abram Deo, et reputatum est illi ad justitiam. 7And he said to him: I am the Lord who brought thee out from Ur of the Chaldees, to give thee this land, and that thou mightest possess it.E il Signore gli disse: Io sono il Signore che ti trassi da Ur de' Chaldei, per dare a te questo paese, e perché tu lo possegga.And he said to him: I am the Lord that brought thee out from Vr of the Chaldees for to giue thee this land, and that thou mightest possesse it.Dixitque ad eum: Ego Dominus qui eduxi te de Ur Chaldæorum ut darem tibi terram istam, et possideres eam. 8But he said: Lord God, whereby may I know that I shall possess it?Ma quegli disse: Signore Dio, donde posso io conoscere, ch'io sia per possederlo?But he said: Lord God, how may I know that I shal possesse it?At ille ait: Domine Deus, unde scire possum quod possessurus sim eam ? 9And the Lord answered, and said: Take me a cow of three years old, and a she-goat of three years, and a ram of three years, a turtle also, and a pigeon.E il Signore rispose: Prendimi una vacca di tre anni, e una capra di tre anni, e un ariete di tre anni, e una tortora, e una colomba.And our Lord answered, and said: Take me a cowe of three yeares old, and a shee goat of three yeares, and a ramme of three yeares, a turtle also, and a pigeon.Et respondens Dominus: Sume, inquit, mihi vaccam trienem, et capram trimam, et arietem annorum trium, turturem quoque et columbam. 10And he took all these, and divided them in the midst, and laid the two pieces of each one against the other: but the birds he divided not.Ed egli prese tutte queste cose, le divise per mezzo, e le parti pose l'una dirimpetto all'altra; ma non divise i volatili.Who taking al these, diuided them by the mydes, and laid ech two peeces arowe one against the other: but the birdes he diuided not.Qui tollens universa hæc, divisit ea per medium, et utrasque partes contra se altrinsecus posuit; aves autem non divisit. 11And the fowls came down upon the carcasses, and Abram drove them away.E calavano uccelli sopra le bestie morte, e Abramo li cacciava.And the foules lighted vpon the carcasses, and Abram droue them away.Descenderuntque volucres super cadavera, et abigebat eas Abram. 12And when the sun was setting, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a great and darksome horror seized upon him.E sul tramontare del sole, Abramo fu preso da profondo sonno, e lo invase un orror grande, e oscurità.And when the sunne was setting, a deepe sleepe fel vpon Abram, and a great and darkesome horrour inuaded him.Cumque sol occumberet, sopor irruit super Abram, et horror magnus et tenebrosus invasit eum.

13And it was said unto him: Know thou beforehand that thy seed shall be a stranger in a land not their own, and they shall bring them under bondage, and afflict them four hundred years.E fugli detto: Tu dèi fin d'adesso sapere, che la tua stirpe sarà pellegrina in una terra non sua, e li porranno in ischiavitù, e gli strazieranno per quattrocent'anni.And it was said vnto him: Know and foreknow know that a pilgrime shal thy seede be in a land not their owne (and they shal bring them vnder bondage, and afflict them) foure hundred yeares.Dictumque est ad eum: Scito prænoscens quod peregrinum futurum sit semen tuum in terra non sua, et subjicient eos servituti, et affligent quadringentis annis. 14But I will judge the nation which they shall serve, and after this they shall come out with great substance.Ma io farò giudizio della nazione, di cui saranno stati servi: e dipoi se ne partiranno con grandi ricchezze.But the nation, whom they shal serue, I wil iudge: and after this they shal goe forth with great substance.Verumtamen gentem, cui servituri sunt, ego judicabo: et post hæc egredientur cum magna substantia. 15And thou shalt go to thy fathers in peace, and be buried in a good old age.Ma tu andrai a trovare i padri tuoi, sepolto in pace in prospera vecchiezza.And thou shalt goe to thy fathers in peace, buried in a good old age.Tu autem ibis ad patres tuos in pace, sepultus in senectute bona. 16But in the fourth generation they shall return hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrhites are not at the full until this present time.E alla quarta generazione (i tuoi) torneranno qua: imperocché fino al tempo presente non sono ancora compiute le iniquità degli Amorrhei.But in the fourth generation they shal returne hither: for as yet the iniquities of the Amorrheanes are not at the ful vntil this present time.Generatione autem quarta revertentur huc: necdum enim completæ sunt iniquitates Amorrhæorum usque ad præsens tempus. 17And when the sun was set, there arose a dark mist, and there appeared a smoking furnace, and a lamp of fire passing between those divisions.Tramontato poi che fu il sole, si fece una caligine tenebrosa, e apparve una fornace fumante, e una lampana ardente, che passava per mezzo agli animali divisi.Therfore when the sunne was set, there arose a darke mist, and there appeared a fornace smoking, and a flake of fire passing betwene those diuisions.Cum ergo occubuisset sol, facta est caligo tenebrosa, et apparuit clibanus fumans, et lampas ignis transiens inter divisiones illas. 18That day God made a covenant with Abram, saying: To thy seed will I give this land, from the river to Egypt even to the great river Euphrates.In quel giorno il Signore fermò l'alleanza con Abramo, dicendo: Al tuo seme darò io questa terra dal fiume d'Egitto sino al gran fiume Eufrate.That day God made a couenant with Abram, saying: To thy seede wil I geue this land from the riuer of Aegypt euen to the great riuer Euphrates,In illo die pepigit Dominus fœdus cum Abram, dicens: Semini tuo dabo terram hanc a fluvio Ægypti usque ad fluvium magnum Euphraten,
