Geremia 52

Studie

   

1 SEDECHIA era d’età di ventun anno, quando cominciò a regnare, e regnò in Gerusalemme undici anni. E il nome di sua madre era Hamutal, figliuola di Geremia da Libna.

2 Ed egli fece quel che dispiace al Signore, del tutto come Gioiachim avea fatto.

3 Perciocchè l’ira del Signore si accrebbe vie più contro a Gerusalemme, e contro a Giuda, fin là, che li scacciò dal suo cospetto. E Sedechia si ribellò contro al re di Babilonia.

4 Laonde l’anno nono del suo regno, nel decimo giorno del decimo mese, Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, venne sopra Gerusalemme, con tutto il suo esercito, e vi si pose a campo, e fabbricò delle bastie contro ad essa, intorno intorno.

5 E la città fu assediata infino all’anno undecimo del re Sedechia.

6 Nel nono giorno del quarto mese, essendo la fame grave nella città, talchè non vi era più pane per lo popolo del paese;

7 ed essendo i Caldei penetrati dentro alla città, tutta la gente di guerra se ne fuggì, e uscì di notte della città, per la via della porta d’infra le due mura, ch’era volta verso l’orto del re, essendo i Caldei sopra la città d’ogn’intorno; e se ne andavano traendo verso il deserto.

8 Ma l’esercito de’ Caldei perseguitò il re, e raggiunse Sedechia nelle campagne di Gerico; e tutto il suo esercito si disperse d’appresso a lui.

9 Ed i Caldei presero il re, e lo menarono al re di Babilonia, in Ribla, nel paese di Hamat; ed egli gli pronunziò la sua sentenza.

10 Ed il re di Babilonia fece scannare i figliuoli di Sedechia, davanti ai suoi occhi; fece eziandio scannare tutti i principi di Giuda, in Ribla.

11 E fece abbacinar gli occhi a Sedechia, e lo fece legar di due catene di rame; e il re di Babilonia lo menò in Babilonia, e lo mise in prigione, ove stette infino al giorno della sua morte.

12 E nel decimo giorno del quinto mese, nell’anno diciannovesimo del re Nebucadnesar, re di Babilonia, Nebuzaradan, capitano delle guardie, ministro ordinario di casa del re di Babilonia, essendo entrato in Gerusalemme,

13 arse la Casa del Signore, e la Casa del re, e tutte le case di Gerusalemme; in somma, arse col fuoco tutte le case grandi.

14 E tutto l’esercito de’ Caldei, ch’era col capitano delle guardie, disfece tutte le mura di Gerusalemme d’ogn’intorno.

15 E Nebuzaradan, capitano delle guardie, menò in cattività de’ più poveri del popolo, e il rimanente del popolo ch’era restato nella città, e quelli ch’erano andati ad arrendersi al re di Babilonia, e il rimanente del popolazzo.

16 Ma pur Nebuzaradan, capitano delle guardie, lasciò alcuni de’ più poveri del paese, per esser vignaiuoli, e lavoratori.

17 Ed i Caldei spezzarono le colonne di rame, ch’erano nella Casa del Signore, e i basamenti, e il mar di rame, ch’era nella Casa del Signore; e ne portarono tutto il rame in Babilonia.

18 Ne portarono eziandio le caldaie, e le palette, e le forcelle, e i bacini, e le coppe, e tutti gli arredi di rame, co’ quali si faceva il servigio.

19 Il capitano delle guardie ne portò eziandio i vasi, e i turiboli, e i bacini, e i calderotti, e i candellieri, e le tazze, e i nappi; ciò ch’era d’oro a parte, e ciò ch’era d’argento a parte.

20 Quant’è alle due colonne, al mare, e a’ dodici buoi di rame che vi erano sotto, a guisa di basamenti, le quali cose il re Salomone avea fatte per la Casa del Signore, il peso del rame di tutti que’ lavori era senza fine.

21 Ora, quant’è alle colonne, l’una d’esse era alta diciotto cubiti, ed un filo di dodici cubiti la circondava; e la sua spessezza era di quattro dita, ed era vuota.

22 E sopra essi vi era un capitello di rame, e l’altezza del capitello era di cinque cubiti; vi era ancora sopra il capitello d’ogn’intorno una rete, e delle melegrane; il tutto di rame; le medesime cose erano ancora nell’altra colonna, insieme con le melegrane.

23 E le melegrane, per ciascun lato, erano novantasei; tutte le melegrane sopra la rete d’ogn’intorno erano in numero di cento.

24 Oltre a ciò, il capitano delle guardie prese Seraia, primo sacerdote, e Sofonia, secondo sacerdote, e i tre guardiani della soglia.

25 Prese eziandio, e ne menò dalla città un eunuco, ch’era commessario della gente di guerra; e sette uomini de’ famigliari del re, che furono trovati nella città; e il principale segretario di guerra, il quale faceva le rassegne del popolo del paese, che si trovarono dentro alla città.

26 Nebuzaradan adunque, capitano delle guardie, li prese, e li menò al re di Babilonia, in Ribla.

27 Ed il re di Babilonia li percosse, e li fece morire in Ribla, nel paese di Hamat.

28 Così Giuda fu menato in cattività fuor della sua terra. Questo è il popolo che Nebucasnesar menò in cattività: l’anno settimo del suo regno ne menò tremila ventitrè Giudei.

29 L’anno diciottesimo del suo regno, menò in cattività di Gerusalemme, ottocentrentadue anime;

30 l’anno ventesimoterzo di Nebucadnesar, Nebuzaradan, capitano delle guardie, menò in cattività settecenquarantacinque anime di Giudei. Tutte le anime furono quattromila seicento.

31 Or l’anno trentasettesimo della cattività di Gioiachin, re di Giuda, nel venticinquesimo giorno del duodecimo mese, Evilmerodac, re di Babilonia, nell’istesso anno ch’egli cominciò a regnare, facendo la rassegna della sua casa, vi mise Gioiachin, re di Giuda, e lo trasse fuor di prigione.

32 E parlò benignamente con lui, e innalzò il suo seggio sopra il seggio degli altri re ch’erano con lui in Babilonia.

33 E gli mutò i suoi vestimenti di prigione, ed egli mangiò del continuo in presenza del re, tutto il tempo della vita sua.

34 E del continuo gli era dato, giorno per giorno, il suo piatto, da parte del re di Babilonia, tutto il tempo della vita sua, infino al giorno della sua morte.

   


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.

Genesis 41

Studie

   

1 It happened at the end of two full years, that Pharaoh dreamed: and behold, he stood by the river.

2 Behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, sleek and fat, and they fed in the marsh grass.

3 Behold, seven other cattle came up after them out of the river, ugly and thin, and stood by the other cattle on the brink of the river.

4 The ugly and thin cattle ate up the seven sleek and fat cattle. So Pharaoh awoke.

5 He slept and dreamed a second time: and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, healthy and good.

6 Behold, seven heads of grain, thin and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

7 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven healthy and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and behold, it was a dream.

8 It happened in the morning that his spirit was troubled, and he sent and called for all of Egypt's magicians and wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

9 Then the chief cupbearer spoke to Pharaoh, saying, "I remember my faults today.

10 Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me in custody in the house of the captain of the guard, me and the chief baker.

11 We dreamed a dream in one night, I and he. We dreamed each man according to the interpretation of his dream.

12 There was with us there a young man, a Hebrew, servant to the captain of the guard, and we told him, and he interpreted to us our dreams. To each man according to his dream he interpreted.

13 It happened, as he interpreted to us, so it was: he restored me to my office, and he hanged him."

14 Then Pharaoh sent and called Joseph, and they brought him hastily out of the dungeon. He shaved himself, changed his clothing, and came in to Pharaoh.

15 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I have dreamed a dream, and there is no one who can interpret it. I have heard it said of you, that when you hear a dream you can interpret it."

16 Joseph answered Pharaoh, saying, "It isn't in me. God will give Pharaoh an answer of peace."

17 Pharaoh spoke to Joseph, "In my dream, behold, I stood on the brink of the river:

18 and behold, there came up out of the river seven cattle, fat and sleek. They fed in the marsh grass,

19 and behold, seven other cattle came up after them, poor and very ugly and thin, such as I never saw in all the land of Egypt for ugliness.

20 The thin and ugly cattle ate up the first seven fat cattle,

21 and when they had eaten them up, it couldn't be known that they had eaten them, but they were still ugly, as at the beginning. So I awoke.

22 I saw in my dream, and behold, seven heads of grain came up on one stalk, full and good:

23 and behold, seven heads of grain, withered, thin, and blasted with the east wind, sprung up after them.

24 The thin heads of grain swallowed up the seven good heads of grain. I told it to the magicians, but there was no one who could explain it to me."

25 Joseph said to Pharaoh, "The dream of Pharaoh is one. What God is about to do he has declared to Pharaoh.

26 The seven good cattle are seven years; and the seven good heads of grain are seven years. The dream is one.

27 The seven thin and ugly cattle that came up after them are seven years, and also the seven empty heads of grain blasted with the east wind; they will be seven years of famine.

28 That is the thing which I spoke to Pharaoh. What God is about to do he has shown to Pharaoh.

29 Behold, there come seven years of great plenty throughout all the land of Egypt.

30 There will arise after them seven years of famine, and all the plenty will be forgotten in the land of Egypt. The famine will consume the land,

31 and the plenty will not be known in the land by reason of that famine which follows; for it will be very grievous.

32 The dream was doubled to Pharaoh, because the thing is established by God, and God will shortly bring it to pass.

33 "Now therefore let Pharaoh look for a discreet and wise man, and set him over the land of Egypt.

34 Let Pharaoh do this, and let him appoint overseers over the land, and take up the fifth part of the land of Egypt's produce in the seven plenteous years.

35 Let them gather all the food of these good years that come, and lay up grain under the hand of Pharaoh for food in the cities, and let them keep it.

36 The food will be for a store to the land against the seven years of famine, which will be in the land of Egypt; that the land not perish through the famine."

37 The thing was good in the eyes of Pharaoh, and in the eyes of all his servants.

38 Pharaoh said to his servants, "Can we find such a one as this, a man in whom is the Spirit of God?"

39 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Because God has shown you all of this, there is none so discreet and wise as you.

40 You shall be over my house, and according to your word will all my people be ruled. Only in the throne I will be greater than you."

41 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "Behold, I have set you over all the land of Egypt."

42 Pharaoh took off his signet ring from his hand, and put it on Joseph's hand, and arrayed him in robes of fine linen, and put a gold chain about his neck,

43 and he made him to ride in the second chariot which he had. They cried before him, "Bow the knee!" He set him over all the land of Egypt.

44 Pharaoh said to Joseph, "I am Pharaoh, and without you shall no man lift up his hand or his foot in all the land of Egypt."

45 Pharaoh called Joseph's name Zaphenath-Paneah; and he gave him Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On as a wife. Joseph went out over the land of Egypt.

46 Joseph was thirty years old when he stood before Pharaoh king of Egypt. Joseph went out from the presence of Pharaoh, and went throughout all the land of Egypt.

47 In the seven plenteous years the earth brought forth abundantly.

48 He gathered up all the food of the seven years which were in the land of Egypt, and laid up the food in the cities: the food of the field, which was around every city, he laid up in the same.

49 Joseph laid up grain as the sand of the sea, very much, until he stopped counting, for it was without number.

50 To Joseph were born two sons before the year of famine came, whom Asenath, the daughter of Potiphera priest of On, bore to him.

51 Joseph called the name of the firstborn Manasseh, "For," he said, "God has made me forget all my toil, and all my father's house."

52 The name of the second, he called Ephraim: "For God has made me fruitful in the land of my affliction."

53 The seven years of plenty, that were in the land of Egypt, came to an end.

54 The seven years of famine began to come, just as Joseph had said. There was famine in all lands, but in all the land of Egypt there was bread.

55 When all the land of Egypt was famished, the people cried to Pharaoh for bread, and Pharaoh said to all the Egyptians, "Go to Joseph. What he says to you, do."

56 The famine was over all the surface of the earth. Joseph opened all the store houses, and sold to the Egyptians. The famine was severe in the land of Egypt.

57 All countries came into Egypt, to Joseph, to buy grain, because the famine was severe in all the earth.
