Job 42

CATHOLIC PUBLIC DOMAIN	BIBBIA VOLGARE
1 Then Job, responding to the Lord, said:	1 Rispose Iob al Signore, e disse:
2 I know that you are able to do all things, and that no thoughts are hidden from you.	2 Io so che tu puoti ogni cosa, e niuno pensiero si nasconde da te.
3 So, who is it that would disguise a lack of knowledge as counsel? Therefore, I have been speaking foolishly, about things whose measure exceeds my knowledge.	3 Chi è questi, che occulta lo consiglio senza scienza? E perciò scioccamente favellai, e [cose] che più oltre stenderebbono la mia scienza.
4 Listen, and I will speak. I will question you, and you may answer me.	4 Odi, e io favellerò; e domanderò te, e rispondi a me.
5 By paying attention with the ear, I have heard you, but now my eye sees you.	5 Collo udire delle mie orecchie udi' te, e ora in verità l'occhio mio vede te.
6 Therefore, I find myself reprehensible, and I will do penance in embers and ashes.	6 E però me medesimo riprendo, e fo penitenza nella favilla e nella cenere.
7 But after the Lord had finished speaking these words to Job, he said to Eliphaz the Themanite: My wrath has been kindled against you, and against your two friends, because you have not been speaking correctly in my eyes, as my servant Job has done.	7 Dappoi che lo Signore ebbe detto queste parole a Iob, disse a Elifaz Temanite: adirato è lo mio furore in te, e ne' due tuoi amici, perciò che voi non avete favellato dinanzi a me dirittamente, si come lo mio servo Iob.
8 Therefore, have seven bulls and seven rams brought to you, and go to my servant Job, and offer these as a holocaust for yourselves. But also, my servant Job will pray for you; I will accept his face, so that foolishness will not be imputed to you. For you have not been speaking correctly about me, as my servant Job has done.	8 Togliete adunque a voi sette tori, e sette montoni; e andate al mio servo Iob, e offerito sacrificio per voi; e Iob mio servo pregherà per voi; la sua faccia riceveroe, acciò ch' egli non vi si reputi sciocchezza; nè certo voi non avete favellato a me le diritte cose, come lo mio servo Iob.
9 So Eliphaz the Themanite, and Baldad the Suhite, and Zophar the Naamathite departed, and they did just as the Lord had spoken to them, and the Lord accepted the face of Job.	9 Andarono adunque Elifaz Temanite e Baldad Suite e Sofar Naamatite; e feciono sì come avea detto loro lo Signore; e ricevette Iddio la faccia di Iob.
10 Likewise, the Lord was moved by the repentance of Job, when he prayed for his friends. And the Lord gave to Job twice as much as he had before.	10 E certo lo Signore [si] convertì alla penitenza di Iob, quando quegli orava per li suoi amici. E rendègli ogni cosa lo Signore a Iob, che prima egli avea avuto, in duplo.
11 Yet all his brethren came to him, and all his sisters, and everyone who had known him before, and they ate bread with him in his house. They also shook their heads over him and comforted him, because of all the bad things that God had inflicted on him. And each one of them gave him one female sheep, and one earring of gold.	11 E vennero a lui tutti li suoi fratelli e tutte le sue sorelle e tutti coloro che prima l' aveano conosciuto, e mangiarono con lui del pane nella sua casa; e mossono sopra lui lo capo, e consolarono lui sopra ogni male che lo Signore avea mandato sopra lui; e dierongli ciascuno una pecora, e uno ornamento di orecchie d'oro.
12 And the Lord blessed the latter end of Job even more than his beginning. And he had fourteen thousand sheep, and six thousand camels, and a thousand pairs of oxen, and a thousand she-donkeys.	12 E lo Signore benedisse le cose nuove di Iob maggiormente che nel principio suo. E fatte sono a lui quattordici migliaia di pecore e sei milia cammelli e mille paia di buoi e mille asini.
13 And he had seven sons and three daughters.	13 Ed ebbe sette figliuoli e tre figliuole.
14 And he called the name of one, Daylight, and the name of the second, Cinnamon, and the name of the third, Horn of Cosmetics.	14 E chiamò lo nome dell' una Die, e lo nome della seconda Cassia, e lo nome della terza Cornustibi.
15 And, in the whole world, there were not found women so beautiful as the daughters of Job. And so their father gave them an inheritance along with their brothers.	15 E non sono trovate femine così belle in tutta la terra, come le figliuole di Iob; e diede loro lo loro padre la ereditade intra li loro fratelli.
16 But Job lived long after these events, for a hundred and forty years, and he saw his children, and his children’s children, all the way to the fourth generation, and he died an old man and full of days.	16 Vivette Iob dopo queste cose (di flagelli) cento quarant' anni, e vide i suoi figliuoli insino alla quarta generazione, e morto è vecchio e pieno di dì (in santa vita e buona).
