Wisdom 19

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 But the impious, all the way to the very end, were overcome by anger without mercy. Indeed, he knew beforehand even their future.	1 L'ira di Dio sanza misericordia venne sopra li malvagi di qui all' ultimo. E sapea bene dinanzi quelle cose che doveano avvenire di coloro.
2 Yet, seeing that they might have repented, so that they would be led by him and be sent forth with great concern, the just sought the impious, while regretting their deeds.	2 Però ch' elli (sarebbono ritornati e) averebbono consentito ch' elli andassono, e con grande sollecitudine averebbono mandati inanzi, e seguitavano loro pentiti (di averli lasciati uscire).
3 For, while the just were still holding grief in their hands and weeping at the tombs of the dead, these others took upon themselves another senseless thought, and they cast out the legislators and pursued them as if they were fugitives.	3 Ancora avendo tra le mani il pianto, e piagnendo alli monumenti de' morti, presono altre cose per pensiero di sciocchezza; e quelli ch' elli pregando aveano cacciati via, li perseguitavano come fuggitivi.
4 For a fitting necessity was leading them to this end, and they were losing the remembrance of those things which had happened, so that what was lacking in the sufferings of the conflict might be completed by the punishment,	4 E menavali a questo fine la degna necessitade; e perdeano la ricordanza di quelle cose erano state, acciò che coloro che non erano stati tormentati, il punimento li riempiesse;
5 and so that your people, indeed, might wonderfully pass through, but these others might find a new death.	5 e il popolo tuo maravigliosamente trapassasse, ma coloro trovassono nuova morte.
6 For every creature according to its kind was fashioned again as from the beginning, diligently serving your teachings, so that your children would be preserved unharmed.	6 Ogni creatura dal cominciamento si risomigliava dalla sua schiatta, obbedendo li tuoi comandamenti, acciò che li servidori tuoi fussono conservati sani e salvi.
7 For a cloud overshadowed their camp, and where water was before, dry land appeared, and in the Red Sea, a way without hindrance, and out of the great deep, a level field sprung up,	7 Però che il nuvolo faceva ombra alle loro tende e campi, e dove prima era acqua apparve terra secca, e nel mare rosso via sanza impedimento, e campo germogliante del grande profondo,
8 through which the whole nation passed, protected by your hand, seeing your miracles and wonders.	8 per lo quale ogni gente passoe, la quale era difesa dalla tua mano, vedendo le tue maraviglie e segni.
9 For they consumed food like horses, and they leapt about like lambs, praising you, O Lord, who had freed them.	9 E sì come cavalli si pascerono, e sì come agnelli si rallegrorono, magnificando te, Signore, che liberasti loro.
10 For they were still mindful of those things which had happened during the time of their sojourn, how, instead cattle, the earth brought forth flies, and instead of fish, the river cast up a multitude of frogs.	10 Però ch' elli si ricordavano di quelle cose che erano fatte, sì come per generazione d' animali la terra produsse la mosca, e il fiume gittoe fuori, per pesce, moltitudine di rane.
11 And, lastly, they saw a new kind of bird, when, being led by their desire, they demanded a feast of meat.	11 Ultimamente vidono nuova creatura d' uccelli, quando tratti dalla concupiscenza chiesono cibi da convito.
12 For, to console their loss, the quail came up to them from the sea, and yet troubles overcame the sinners, though they were not without the evidence of what had happened before by the power of lightning, for they suffered justly according to their own wickedness.	12 Nello ragionamento loro venne loro dal mare la coturnice; e sopravennono alli peccatori turbamenti, non sanza quelli che erano stati fatti prima, per forza di fiumi; giustamente erano afflitti secondo le loro nequizie.
13 And indeed, they set up a more detestable inhospitality. Certainly, some have refused to receive unknown foreigners, but these others were drafting good guests into servitude,	13 Però che elli ordinaro cose abbominevoli delli loro albergatori; altri non ricettavano li non conosciuti forestieri, altri pigliavano li buoni ospiti in servigio.
14 and not only foreigners, but also those who had been under their care, because they were reluctantly sheltering the outsiders.	14 E non solamente faceano queste cose, ma ancora v'era un altro rispetto di loro; per [che] contra loro voglia ricettavano li strani.
15 Yet whoever had sheltered them with gladness, by making use of the very same justice, they afflicted with the most severe sorrow.	15 Ma coloro che con letizia li ricettavano, coloro che usavano quelle crudelissime leggi afflissono di dolori.
16 Yet they were struck with blindness, like someone brought before the gates of justice, so that they were suddenly covered with darkness, and each one was left searching for the threshold of his front door.	16 Elli furono percossi di cecitade; sì come quelli giusti nelle porte, conciosia cosa che fussono coperti di subite tenebre, ciascuno cercava il limitare dell' uscio suo.
17 For the elements in themselves are in the process of being changed, just as when the sound of a musical instrument is being altered in quality, yet each one keeps its own sound, from where it is considered to be and according to its fixed appearance.	17 Li elementi si convertono in sè, sì come il suono si muta nella qualità dello stromento, e tutte le cose guardano il loro suono: onde stimare si puote per quello certo viso.
18 For the countryside was transformed by water, and things which were swimming, crossed over the land.	18 Però che le cose de' campi si convertivano in cose acquatiche; e qualunque erano che notassono, si convertiano in terrestri.
19 Fire prevailed in the midst of water, beyond its own power, and the water forgot its quenching nature.	19 Il fuoco ardeva nell' acqua sopra la sua possa, e l'acqua si dimenticava la sua stignente naturazon zamp on6ood moneloz non
20 On the other hand, the flames did not trouble the bodies of the mortal animals walking around, nor did they melt that good food, which is as easily melted as ice. For in all things, O Lord, you magnified your people, and honored them, and did not despise them, but at every time and in every place, you assisted them.	20 E d'altra parte le fiamme non mossono le carni delli corruttibili animali che andavano insieme, nè dissolvettono quello che di lieve si disfae sì come il ghiaccio. In tutte le cose magnificasti il popolo tuo, Signore, e onorificastilo, e non lo disprezzasti in alcuno tempo, e apparecchiasti il suo adiutorio in ogni luogo.
