43 — Salmi

1Unto the end, for the sons of Core, to give understanding.Ai figliuoli di Core: Salmo di intelligenza.Vnto the end, for the sonnes of Core to vnderstanding.In finem. Filiis Core ad intellectum. 2We have heard, O God, with our ears: our fathers have declared to us, The work thou hast wrought in their days, and in the days of old.Noi, o Dio, colle nostre orecchie udimmo: i padri nostri a noi annunziarono, Quello, che tu facesti ne' giorni loro, e ne' giorni antichi.O GOD we haue heard with our eares: our fathers haue declared to vs. The worke, that thou hast wrought in their dayes: and in the dayes of old.Deus, auribus nostris audivimus, / patres nostri annuntiaverunt nobis, / opus quod operatus es in diebus eorum, / et in diebus antiquis. 3Thy hand destroyed the Gentiles, and thou plantedst them: thou didst afflict the people and cast them out.La mano tua estirpò le nazioni, e desti loro ferma sede; gastigasti que' popoli, e li discacciasti:Thy hand destroyed the nations, and thou didst plant them: thou didst afflict the peoples, and expel them:Manus tua gentes disperdidit, et plantasti eos; / afflixisti populos, et expulisti eos. 4For they got not the possession of the land by their own sword: neither did their own arm save them. But thy right hand and thy arm, and the light of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased with them.Imperocché non in virtù della loro spada divenner padroni della terra, né il loro valore diede ad essi salute. Ma si la tua destra, e la tua potenza, e il benigno tuo volto; perché avesti buon volere per essi.For not by their owne sword did they possesse the land, and their owne arme did not saue them: But thy right hand, and thyne arme, and the illumination of thy countenance: because thou wast pleased in them.Nec enim in gladio suo possederunt terram, / et brachium eorum non salvavit eos: / sed dextera tua et brachium tuum, / et illuminatio vultus tui, quoniam complacuisti in eis. 5Thou art thyself my king and my God, who commandest the saving of Jacob.Tu se' tu stesso il mio Re, e il mio Dio: tu che ordini la salute di Giacobbe.Thou art the same my king and my God: which commandest the saluations of Iacob.Tu es ipse rex meus et Deus meus, / qui mandas salutes Jacob. 6Through thee we will push down our enemies with the horn: and through thy name we will despise them that rise up against us.Per te avrem forza per gettare a terra i nostri nemici, e nel nome tuo non farem caso di quelli, che insorgono contro di noi.In thee we shal turne out our enemies with the horne, & in thy name we shal contemne them that ryse vp against vs.In te inimicos nostros ventilabimus cornu, / et in nomine tuo spernemus insurgentes in nobis.

7For I will not trust in my bow: neither shall my sword save me.Imperocché non nel mio arco porrò io la mia speranza, e la mia spada non sarà quella, che mi salverà.For I wil not hope in my bowe: and my sword wil not saue me.Non enim in arcu meo sperabo, / et gladius meus non salvabit me: 8But thou hast saved us from them that afflict us: and hast put them to shame that hate us.Imperocché tu ci salvasti da coloro, che ci affliggevano, e svergognasti color, che ci odiavano.For thou hast saued vs from them that afflict vs: and them that hate vs thou hast confounded.salvasti enim nos de affligentibus nos, / et odientes nos confudisti. 9In God shall we glory all the day long: and in thy name we will give praise for ever.In Dio ci glorieremo ogni di, e il nome tuo celebreremo pe' secoli.In God we shal be praysed al the day: and in thy name we wil confesse for euer.In Deo laudabimur tota die, / et in nomine tuo confitebimur in sæculum. 10But now thou hast cast us off, and put us to shame: and thou, O God, wilt not go out with our armies.Ma adesso tu ci hai rigettati, e svergognati, e non vai innanzi a' nostri eserciti.But now thou hast repelled and confounded vs: and thou wilt not goe forth ô God in our hostes.Nunc autem repulisti et confudisti nos, / et non egredieris, Deus, in virtutibus nostris. 11Thou hast made us turn our back to our enemies: and they that hated us plundered for themselves.Ci facesti voltar le spalle a' nostri nemici, e que', che ci odiano, ci saccheggiarono.Thou hast turned vs backe behind our enemies: and they that hated vs, spoyled for themselues.Avertisti nos retrorsum post inimicos nostros, / et qui oderunt nos diripiebant sibi. 12Thou hast given us up like sheep to be eaten: thou hast scattered us among the nations.Ci rendesti come pecore da macello, e ci hai dispersi tralle nazioni.Thou hast geuen vs as sheepe that are to be eaten: and thou hast dispersed vs among the nations.Dedisti nos tamquam oves escarum, / et in gentibus dispersisti nos. 13Thou hast sold thy people for no price: and there was no reckoning in the exchange of them.Hai venduto il tuo popolo per nissun prezzo, e non a gran pregio lo alienasti.Thou hast sold thy people without price: and there was no multitude in the exchanges of them.Vendidisti populum tuum sine pretio, / et non fuit multitudo in commutationibus eorum. 14Thou hast made us a reproach to our neighbours, a scoff and derision to them that are round about us.Ci hai renduti oggetto di obbrobrio pe' nostri nemici, favola, e scherno de' nostri vicini.Thou hast made vs a reproche to our neighbours, a scorne and mocking stocke to them, that are round about vs.Posuisti nos opprobrium vicinis nostris; / subsannationem et derisum his qui sunt in circuitu nostro.

15Thou hast made us a byword among the Gentiles: a shaking of the head among the people.Hai fatto si, che siamo proverbiati dalle nazioni, e siamo il ludibrio de' popoli.Thou hast made vs for a parable to the Gentiles: a wagging of the head among the peoples.Posuisti nos in similitudinem gentibus; / commotionem capitis in populis. 16All the day long my shame is before me: and the confusion of my face hath covered me,Ho dinanzi a me tutto il giorno la mia ignominia e la mia faccia di confusione è coperta.Al the day my shame is against me, and the confusion of my face hath couered me.Tota die verecundia mea contra me est, / et confusio faciei meæ cooperuit me: 17At the voice of him that reproacheth and detracteth me: at the face of the enemy and persecutor.In udendo il parlare di chi mi svitupera, e mi dice improperj, in veggendo il nemico, e il persecutore.At the voyce of the vpbrayder, and the reprocher: at the face of the enemie and persecutor.a voce exprobrantis et obloquentis, / a facie inimici et persequentis. 18All these things have come upon us, yet we have not forgotten thee: and we have not done wickedly in thy covenant.Tutte queste cose sono cadute sopra di noi, e non ci siamo dimenticati di te, e non abbiamo operato iniquamente contro la tua alleanza.Al these thinges haue come vpon vs, neither haue we forgotten thee: and we haue not done wickedly in thy testament.Hæc omnia venerunt super nos; nec obliti sumus te, / et inique non egimus in testamento tuo. 19And our heart hath not turned back: neither hast thou turned aside our steps from thy way.E il nostro cuore non si è ribellato, e non hai permesso, che declinassero dalla tua via i nostri passi.And our hart hath not reuolted backward: and thou hast declined our pathes from thy way:Et non recessit retro cor nostrum; / et declinasti semitas nostras a via tua: 20For thou hast humbled us in the place of affliction: and the shadow of death hath covered us.Mentre tu ci hai umiliati nel luogo dell'afflizione, e ci ha ricoperti l'ombra di morte.Because thou hast humbled vs in the place of affliction, and the shadow of death hath couered vs.quoniam humiliasti nos in loco afflictionis, / et cooperuit nos umbra mortis. 21If we have forgotten the name of our God, and if we have spread forth our hands to a strange god:Se noi abbiamo dimenticato il nome del nostro Dio, e se abbiamo stese le mani a un dio straniero;If we haue forgotten the name of our God, and if we haue spred forth our handes to a strange God:Si obliti sumus nomen Dei nostri, / et si expandimus manus nostras ad deum alienum,

22Shall not God search out these things: for he knoweth the secrets of the heart. Because for thy sake we are killed all the day long: we are counted as sheep for the slaughter.Non farà egli Iddio ricerca di tali cose? imperocché egli conosce i segreti del cuore. Ma per tua cagione siam tutto di messi a morte, siamo stimati come pecore da macello.Wil not God enquire of these thinges? For he knoweth the secretes of the hart. Because for thee we are killed al the day: we are estemed as sheepe of slaughter.nonne Deus requiret ista ? / ipse enim novit abscondita cordis. / Quoniam propter te mortificamur tota die; / æstimati sumus sicut oves occisionis. 23Arise, why sleepest thou, O Lord? arise, and cast us not off to the end.Levati su, perché se' tu addormentato, o Signore? levati su, e non rigettarci per sempre.Arise why sleepest thou ô Lord? Arise, and expel vs not to the end.Exsurge; quare obdormis, Domine ? / exsurge, et ne repellas in finem. 24Why turnest thou thy face away? and forgettest our want and our trouble?Per qual ragione ascondi tu la tua faccia, ti scordi della nostra miseria, e della nostra tribolazione?Why dost thou turne away thy face, forgettest our pouertie and our tribulation?Quare faciem tuam avertis ? / oblivisceris inopiæ nostræ et tribulationis nostræ ? 25For our soul is humbled down to the dust: our belly cleaveth to the earth.Imperocché è umiliata fino alla polvere l'anima nostra, stiamo prostrati col ventre sopra la terra.Because our soule is humbled in the dust: our bellie is gl•wed in the earth.Quoniam humiliata est in pulvere anima nostra; / conglutinatus est in terra venter noster. 26Arise, O Lord, help us and redeem us for thy name’s sake.Levati su, o Signore, soccorrici: e liberaci per amor del tuo nome.Arise Lord, helpe vs: and redeme vs for thy name.Exsurge, Domine, adjuva nos, / et redime nos propter nomen tuum.
