19 — Giobbe

1Then Job answered, and said:Ma Giobbe rispose, e disse:BVT Iob answering, sayd:Respondens autem Job, dixit: 2How long do you afflict my soul, and break me in pieces with words?Sino a quando affliggerete voi l'anima mia, e mi struggerete co' vostri ragionamenti?How long doe you afflict my soule, and weare me with wordes?Usquequo affligitis animam meam, / et atteritis me sermonibus ? 3Behold, these ten times you confound me, and are not ashamed to oppress me.Ecco che per la decima volta voi mi svergognate, e non avete rossore di opprimermi.Behold, ten times you counfound me, and are not ashamed oppressing me.En decies confunditis me, / et non erubescitis opprimentes me. 4For if I have been ignorant, my ignorance shall be with me.Certamente quando io sia nell'ignoranza, l'ignoranza mia resterà con me.For although I haue beene ignorant, mine ignorance shal be with me.Nempe etsi ignoravi, / mecum erit ignorantia mea. 5But you set yourselves up against me, and reprove me with my reproaches.Ma voi vi alzate contro di me, e mi rimproverate le mie umiliazioni.But you are set vp against me, and reproue me with my reproches.At vos contra me erigimini, / et arguitis me opprobriis meis. 6At least now understand, that God hath not afflicted me with an equal judgment, and compassed me with his scourges.Almeno adesso intendete, che Dio non per effetto di suo retto giudicio mi ha afflitto, e mi ha investito co' suoi flagelli.At the least now vnderstand ye, that God hath afflicted me not with equal iudgement, and hath compassed me with his scourges.Saltem nunc intelligite quia Deus non æquo judicio afflixerit me, / et flagellis suis me cinxerit. 7Behold I shall cry suffering violence, and no one will hear: I shall cry aloud, and there is none to judge.Se violentato ad alta voce io mi querelo, nissuno ascolta, e se getto strida nissuno mi fa ragione.Behold I shal crie suffering violence, and no man wil heare: I shal crie out, and there is none to iudge.Ecce clamabo, vim patiens, et nemo audiet; / vociferabor, et non est qui judicet. 8He hath hedged in my path round about, and I cannot pass, and in my way he hath set darkness.Egli mi ha serrata da tutte parti la strada, onde non ho passaggio, ed ha ingombrato di tenebre il mio cammino.He hath hedged my path round about, and I can not passe, and in my way hath put darkenesse.Semitam meam circumsepsit, et transire non possum: / et in calle meo tenebras posuit. 9He hath stripped me of my glory, and hath taken the crown from my head.Mi ha spogliato della mia gloria, e mi ha levata di capo la mia corona.He hath spoiled me of my glorie, and hath taken the crowne from my head.Spoliavit me gloria mea, / et abstulit coronam de capite meo.

10He hath destroyed me on every side, and I am lost, and he hath taken away my hope, as from a tree that is plucked up.Egli d'ogni parte mi strugge, ed io perisco, ed ogni speranza a me toglie come a pianta che è sradicata.He hath destroved me on euerie side, and I perish, and as it were from a tree plucked hath he taken away my hope.Destruxit me undique, et pereo: / et quasi evulsæ arbori abstulit spem meam. 11His wrath is kindled against me, and he hath counted me as his enemy.Il suo furore arde contro di me, ed ei mi ha trattato come nemico.His furie is wrath against me, and he hath so accounted me as his enemie.Iratus est contra me furor ejus, / et sic me habuit quasi hostem suum. 12His troops have come together, and have made themselves a way by me, and have besieged my tabernacle round about.Son venute tutte insieme le sue milizie, e si sono fatta strada sopra di me, ed hanno assediata la mia casa da ogni lato.His serian•es haue come together, and haue made them selues a way by me, and haue besieged my tabernacle round about.Simul venerunt latrones ejus, / et fecerunt sibi viam per me, / et obsederunt in gyro tabernaculum meum. 13He hath put my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance like strangers have departed from me.Ha tenuti lungi da me i miei fratelli, e i miei familiari si son ritirati da me quasi fossero estranei.He hath made my brethren far from me, and my acquaintance as strangers haue departed from me.Fratres meos longe fecit a me, / et noti mei quasi alieni recesserunt a me. 14My kinsmen have forsaken me, and they that knew me, have forgotten me.I miei parenti mi han lasciato in abbandono, e chiunque mi conosceva si è scordato di me.My kinfemen haue forsaken me, and they that knew me haue forgotten me.Dereliquerunt me propinqui mei, / et qui me noverant obliti sunt mei. 15They that dwell in my house, and my maidservants have counted me as a stranger, and I have been like an alien in their eyes.Quelli che nella casa mia abitavano, e le mie serve, mi han riguardato, come uomo non più veduto, e agli occhi loro comparisco come straniero.The ghestes of my house, and my maydseruantes haue counted me an aliene, and I haue bene as it were a stranger in their eies.Inquilini domus meæ et ancillæ meæ sicut alienum habuerunt me, / et quasi peregrinus fui in oculis eorum. 16I called my servant, and he gave me no answer, I entreated him with my own mouth.Chiamai il mio servo, e non mi rispose, benché di propria bocca il pregassi.I called my seruant, and he did not answer me, with mine owne mouth I besought him.Servum meum vocavi, et non respondit: / ore proprio deprecabar illum.

17My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I entreated the children of my womb.La mia moglie ha avuto a schifo il mio alito; e a' miei figliuoli lo porgeva preghiere.My wife hath abhorred my breath, and I prayed the children of my wombe.Halitum meum exhorruit uxor mea, / et orabam filios uteri mei. 18Even fools despised me, and when I was gone from them, they spoke against me.Gli stolti ancora mi dispregiavano, e dietro alle mie spalle sparlavan di me.Fooles also despised me, and when I was departed from them, they backbited me.Stulti quoque despiciebant me: / et cum ab eis recessissem, detrahebant mihi. 19They that were sometime my counsellors, have abhorred me: and he whom I loved most is turned against me.Quelli che erano una volta miei consiglieri mi hanno in abominio, e l'amico più caro mi ha voltato le spalle.My counselers sometime haue abhorred me: and he whom I loued most hath turned against me.Abominati sunt me quondam consiliarii mei, / et quem maxime diligebam, aversatus est me. 20The flesh being consumed, my bone hath cleaved to my skin, and nothing but lips are left about my teeth.Le ossa mie, consunte le carni, stanno attaccate alla pelle, e le sole labbra sono rimase attorno a' miei denti.The flesh being consumed my bone hath cleaued to my skinne, and there are left onlie lippes about my teeth.Pelli meæ, consumptis carnibus, adhæsit os meum, / et derelicta sunt tantummodo labia circa dentes meos. 21Have pity on me, have pity on me, at least you my friends, because the hand of the Lord hath touched me.Abbiate pietà di me, abbiate di me pietà almen voi, amici miei, perocché la man del Signore mi ha percosso.Haue mercie vpon me, haue mercie vpon me, at the least you my frendes, because the hand of our Lord hath touched me.Miseremini mei, miseremini mei saltem vos, amici mei, / quia manus Domini tetigit me. 22Why do you persecute me as God, and glut yourselves with my flesh?Perché mi perseguitate voi come fa Dio, e vi satollate delle mie carni.Why doe you as God persecute me, and are filled with my flesh.Quare persequimini me sicut Deus, / et carnibus meis saturamini ? 23Who will grant me that my words may be written? who will grant me that they may be marked down in a book?Chi mi darà, che siano scritte le mie parole? Chi mi darà, che siano impresse in un libro con istile di ferro,Who wil grant me that my wordes may be writen? who wil geue me that they may be drawen in a booke,Quis mihi tribuat ut scribantur sermones mei ? / quis mihi det ut exarentur in libro 24With an iron pen and in a plate of lead, or else be graven with an instrument in flint stone?E scolpite rimangano in tavola di piombo, ovver sulla pietra collo scalpello?with yron penne, and in plate of leade, or els with stile might be grauen in flintstone?stylo ferreo et plumbi lamina, / vel celte sculpantur in silice ?

25For I know that my Redeemer liveth, and in the last day I shall rise out of the earth.Imperocché io so, che vive il mio Redentore, e che nell'ultimo giorno io risorgerò della terra:For I know that my Redemer liueth, and in the last day I shal rise out of the earth.Scio enim quod redemptor meus vivit, / et in novissimo die de terra surrecturus sum: 26And I shall be clothed again with my skin, and in my flesh I shall see my God.E di nuovo sarò rivestito di questa mia pelle, e nella mia carne vedrò il mio Dio,And I shal be compassed agayne with my skinne, and in my flesh I shal see God.et rursum circumdabor pelle mea, / et in carne mea videbo Deum meum: 27Whom I myself shall see, and my eyes shall behold, and not another: this my hope is laid up in my bosom.Cui vedrò io medesimo, e non un altro, e in cui fisserò io stesso i miei occhi: questa è la speranza che nel mio seno io tengo riposta.Whom I my self shal see, and mine eies shal behold, and none other: this my hope is layd vp in my bosome.quem visurus sum ego ipse, / et oculi mei conspecturi sunt, et non alius: / reposita est hæc spes mea in sinu meo. 28Why then do you say now: Let us persecute him, and let us find occasion of word against him?Perché adunque dite voi ora: Perseguitiamolo, e attacchiamoci alle sue parole per accusarlo?Why then doe you say now: Let vs persecute him, and let vs finde roote of word agaynst him?Quare ergo nunc dicitis: Persequamur eum, / et radicem verbi inveniamus contra eum ? 29Flee then from the face of the sword, for the sword is the revenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is a judgment.Fuggite adunque il lampeggiar della spada; perocché spada vi è ultrice delle iniquità: sappiate che v'ha un giudizio.Flee therfore from the face of the sword, because the sword is the reuenger of iniquities: and know ye that there is iudgement.Fugite ergo a facie gladii, / quoniam ultor iniquitatum gladius est: / et scitote esse judicium.
