13 Tu eri in Eden, giardin di Dio; tu eri coperto di pietre preziose, di rubini, di topazi, di diamanti, di grisoliti, di pietre onichine, di diaspri, di zaffiri, di smeraldi, e di carbonchi, e di oro; l’arte de’ tuoi tamburi, e de’ tuoi flauti era appo te; quella fu ordinata nel giorno che tu fosti creato.


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.

11 Vi è un uomo nel tuo regno, in cui è lo spirito degl’iddii santi; e al tempo di tuo padre si trovò in lui illuminazione, ed intendimento, e sapienza, pari alla sapienza degl’iddii; e il re Nebucadnesar, tuo padre, o re, lo costituì capo de’ magi, degli astrologi, de’ Caldei, e degl’indovini.
