39 — Giobbe

1Knowest thou the time when the wild goats bring forth among the rocks, or hast thou observed the hinds when they fawn?È egli a te noto il tempo, in cui le capre salvatiche partoriscono nelle spelonche; od hai tu osservato il partorir delle cerve?HAST thou knowen the time when the wild goates bring forth yong among the rockes, or hast thou obserued the hyndes when they fawne?Numquid nosti tempus partus ibicum in petris, / vel parturientes cervas observasti ? 2Hast thou numbered the months of their conceiving, or knowest thou the time when they bring forth?Hai tu contati i mesi di lor gravidanza, e segnato il tempo del loro parto?Hast thou numbred the monethes of their conceiuing, and knowen the time of their bearing?Dinumerasti menses conceptus earum, / et scisti tempus partus earum ? 3They bow themselves to bring forth young, and they cast them, and send forth roarings.Elle si incurvano, e partoriscono urlando.They bowe downe themselues to bring forth yong, and they cast them, and make roarings.Incurvantur ad fœtum, et pariunt, / et rugitus emittunt. 4Their young are weaned and go to feed: they go forth, and return not to them.Si separano da esse i loro parti, e vanno alla pastura: se ne vanno, né tornan più a rivederle.Their yong are seperated, and goe to feed: they goe forth, and returne not to them.Separantur filii earum, et pergunt ad pastum: / egrediuntur, et non revertuntur ad eas. 5Who hath sent out the wild ass free, and who hath loosed his bonds?Chi pose l'asino salvatico in libertà, e da ogni freno lo sciolse?Who hath dismist the wilde asse free, and who hath loosed his bondes?Quis dimisit onagrum liberum, / et vincula ejus quis solvit ? 6To whom I have given a house in the wilderness, and his dwellings in the barren land.A lui io diedi per casa il deserto, e per istanza una terra infeconda.To whom I haue geuen a house in the wildernes, and his tabernacles in the land of saltnesse.cui dedi in solitudine domum, / et tabernacula ejus in terra salsuginis. 7He scorneth the multitude of the city, he heareth not the cry of the driver.Egli dispregia gli strepiti delle città, e non ode le grida di un duro padrone.He contemneth the multitude of the citie, the crie of the exactour he heareth not.Contemnit multitudinem civitatis: / clamorem exactoris non audit. 8He looketh round about the mountains of his pasture, and seeketh for every green thing,Volge egli in giro gli occhi alle montagne di sua pastura, e va in traccia di ogni genere di verzura.He looketh about the mountaines of his pasture, and seeketh out al greene places.Circumspicit montes pascuæ suæ, / et virentia quæque perquirit. 9Shall the rhinoceros be willing to serve thee, or will he stay at thy crib?Vorrà egli servire a te il rinoceronte, o starsene alla tua mangiatoia?Wil the Rhinoceres serue thee, and wil he tarie at thy stal?Numquid volet rhinoceros servire tibi, / aut morabitur ad præsepe tuum ?

10Canst thou bind the rhinoceros with thy thong to plough, or will he break the clods of the valleys after thee?Porrai tu al tuo giogo ad arare il rinoceronte; o romperà egli dietro a te le zolle delle tue valli?Shal thou tie the Rhinoceres with thy coller to plough, or wil he breake the cloddes of the valleys after thee?Numquid alligabis rhinocerota ad arandum loro tuo, / aut confringet glebas vallium post te ? 11Wilt thou have confidence in his great strength, and leave thy labours to him?Ti fiderai tu della sua gran forza, e a cura di lui porrai i tuoi lavori di campagna?Shalt thou haue confidence in his great strength, and leaue thy labours vnto him?Numquid fiduciam habebis in magna fortitudine ejus, / et derelinques ei labores tuos ? 12Wilt thou trust him that he will render thee the seed, and gather it into thy barnfloor?Credi tu ch'ei ti renderà la tua semente, ed empierà la tua aia?Wilt thou credit him that he wil render thee the seede, and gather together thy barne floore?Numquid credes illi quod sementem reddat tibi, / et aream tuam congreget ? 13The wing of the ostrich is like the wings of the heron, and of the hawk.La piuma dello struzzo è simile alle penne della cicogna, e dello sparviere.The wing of the Ostrich is like to the winges of the Herodius, and of the hawke.Penna struthionis similis est / pennis herodii et accipitris. 14When she leaveth her eggs on the earth, thou perhaps wilt warm them in the dust.Quand'egli abbandona le sue uova per terra, se tu' forse, che tralla polvere le riscaldi?When she leaueth her egges on the earth, thou perhaps wilt heate them in the dust.Quando derelinquit ova sua in terra, / tu forsitan in pulvere calefacies ea ? 15She forgetteth that the foot may tread upon them, or that the beasts of the field may break them.Egli non pensa, che il piede le schiaccerà, o le fiere selvagge le pesteranno.She forgeteth that foote may treade vpon them, or beast of the fild breake them.Obliviscitur quod pes conculcet ea, / aut bestia agri conterat. 16She is hardened against her young ones, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vain, no fear constraining her.Egli è crudele verso i suoi parti, come se suoi non fossero, egli getta le sue fatiche, senza che timore alcuno il costringa.She is hardened toward her yong, as though they were not hers, she hath laboured in vaine no feare compelling her.Duratur ad filios suos, quasi non sint sui: / frustra laboravit, nullo timore cogente. 17For God hath deprived her of wisdom, neither hath he given her understanding.Perché il Signore lo privò di saggezza, e non gli diede discernimento.For God hath depriued her of wisedom neither hath he geuen her vnderstanding.Privavit enim eam Deus sapientia, / nec dedit illi intelligentiam.

18When time shall be, she setteth up her wings on high: she scorneth the horse and his rider.Ma quando è tempo egli stende in alto sue ali, o si burla del cavallo, e del cavaliere.When time shal be, she setteth vp the winges on high: she skorneth the horse & his rider.Cum tempus fuerit, in altum alas erigit: / deridet equum et ascensorem ejus. 19Wilt thou give strength to the horse or clothe his neck with neighing?Sarai tu che darai fortezza al cavallo, o la sua gola empierai di nitriti?Shalt thou geue strentgh to the horse, or put neying about his necke?Numquid præbebis equo fortitudinem, / aut circumdabis collo ejus hinnitum ? 20Wilt thou lift him up like the locusts? the glory of his nostrils is terror.Lo farai tu saltellare come le locuste? la maestà delle sue narici atterrisce?Shalt thou raise him vp as Locustes? the glorie of his nosthrels is terrour.Numquid suscitabis eum quasi locustas ? / gloria narium ejus terror. 21He breaketh up the earth with his hoof, he pranceth boldly, he goeth forward to meet armed men.Scalza la terra colla zampa, saltella con brio, va incontro agli armati,He diggeth the earth with his house, he prawnseth boldly, he goeth forward to meete the armed men.Terram ungula fodit; exultat audacter: / in occursum pergit armatis. 22He despiseth fear, he turneth not his back to the sword.Disprezzator di paura, nol rattiene la spada.He contemneth feare, neither yealdeth he to the sword.Contemnit pavorem, / nec cedit gladio. 23Above him shall the quiver rattle, the spear and shield shall glitter.Sente sopra di se il rumor del turcasso, il vibrar delle lance, e il moto dello scudo.Vpon him shal the quiuer sound, the speare shal glister and the shilde.Super ipsum sonabit pharetra; / vibrabit hasta et clypeus: 24Chasing and raging he swalloweth the ground, neither doth he make account when the noise of the trumpet soundeth.Spumante, e fremente si mangia la terra, né aspetta che suoni la tromba.Feruent and foming he suppeth the earth, neither doth he make account when the noyse of the trumpet soundeth.fervens et fremens sorbet terram, / nec reputat tubæ sonare clangorem. 25When he heareth the trumpet he saith: Ha, ha: he smelleth the battle afar off, the encouraging of the captains, and the shouting of the army.Sentita ch'egli ha la tromba, dice: Bene sta. Sente da lungi l'odor di battaglia, le esortazioni de' capitani, e le strida delle milizie.When he shal heare the trumpet he sayth: Vah, he smelleth battel far of, the exhortation of the captaines, and the crie of the armie.Ubi audierit buccinam, dicit: Vah ! / procul odoratur bellum: / exhortationem ducum, et ululatum exercitus.

26Doth the hawk wax feathered by thy wisdom, spreading her wings to the south?Forse per effetto di tua sapienza si veste lo sparviere di piume, e le ali distende verso il mezzodì?Doth the hawke waxe fethered by thy wisedom, spreding her winges to the South?Numquid per sapientiam tuam plumescit accipiter, / expandens alas suas ad austrum ? 27Will the eagle mount up at thy command, and make her nest in high places?Forse al tuo comando si leverà in alto l'aquila, e in luoghi eccelsi farà, suo nido?Shal the eagle mount at thy commandment, and put her nest in high places?Numquid ad præceptum tuum elevabitur aquila, / et in arduis ponet nidum suum ? 28She abideth among the rocks, and dwelleth among cragged flints, and stony hills, where there is no access.Se ne sta ella sui massi, e negli scoscesi dirupi, e su' gioghi inaccessibili.She abideth in rockes, and tarieth among cragged slintes, and stonie hilles where is no accesse.In petris manet, / et in præruptis silicibus commoratur, / atque inaccessis rupibus. 29From thence she looketh for the prey, and her eyes behold afar off.Di là ella contempla la preda, e i suoi occhi veggono in gran lontananza.Thence she beholdeth the praye, and her eies see a far of,Inde contemplatur escam, / et de longe oculi ejus prospiciunt. 30Her young ones shall suck up blood: and wheresoever the carcass shall be, she is immediately there.I suoi aquilotti leccano il sangue, e dovunque sia un cadavere tosto ella, si trova.Her yong ones shal licke bloud: & whersoeuer the carcasse shal be, she is present by and by,Pulli ejus lambent sanguinem: / et ubicumque cadaver fuerit, statim adest. 31And the Lord went on, and said to Job:E il Signore soggiunse, e disse a Giobbe:And our Lord added, and spake to Iob:Et adjecit Dominus, et locutus est ad Job: 32Shall he that contendeth with God be so easily silenced? surely he that reproveth God, ought to answer him.Colui che alterca con Dio, si acquieterà egli si facilmente? Certo che chi vuoi riprendere Dio debbe rispondergli.He that contendeth with God is he quieted so easily? Verely he that reproueth God, ought to answer him.Numquid qui contendit cum Deo, tam facile conquiescit ? / utique qui arguit Deum, debet respondere ei. 33Then Job answered the Lord, and said:Ma Giobbe rispose al Signore, e disse:But Iob answering our Lord, sayd:Respondens autem Job Domino, dixit: 34What can I answer, who hath spoken inconsiderately? I will lay my hand upon my mouth.Io che ho parlato con leggerezza, che posso rispondere? mi porrò la mano alla bocca.I that haue spoken lightly what can I answer? I wil put my hand vpon my mouth.Qui leviter locutus sum, respondere quid possum ? / manum meam ponam super os meum.

35One thing I have spoken, which I wish I had not said: and another, to which I will add no more.Una cosa ho detto, la quale non avess'io detta giammai; e anche un'altra, alle quali niente più aggiungerò.One thing I haue spoken, which I would I had not sayd: and an other, to the which thinges. I wil adde no more.Unum locutus sum, quod utinam non dixissem: / et alterum, quibus ultra non addam.
