Essi beveano del vino, e lodavano gl’iddii d’oro, e d’argento, di rame, di ferro, di legno, e di pietra.

To many Protestant and Evangelical Italians, the Bibles translated by Giovanni Diodati are an important part of their history. Diodati’s first Italian Bible edition was printed in 1607, and his second in 1641. He died in 1649. Throughout the 1800s two editions of Diodati’s text were printed by the British Foreign Bible Society. This is the more recent 1894 edition, translated by Claudiana.
Daniel 4:19
19
Allora Daniele, il cui nome è Beltsasar, restò stupefatto lo spazio di un’ora, e i suoi pensieri lo spaventavano. Ma il re gli fece motto, e disse: O Beltsasar, non turbiti il sogno, nè la sua interpretazione. Beltsasar rispose, e disse: Signor mio, avvenga il sogno a’ tuoi nemici, e la sua interpretazione a’ tuoi avversari.
