5 E quel servitore gli disse: Forse non aggradirà a quella donna di venir dietro a me in questo paese; mi converrà egli del tutto rimenare il tuo figliuolo nel paese onde tu sei uscito?


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.

32 "Therefore thus says Yahweh concerning the king of Assyria, 'He shall not come to this city, nor shoot an arrow there, neither shall he come before it with shield, nor cast up a mound against it.

33 By the way that he came, by the same shall he return, and he shall not come to this city,' says Yahweh.

34 'For I will defend this city to save it, for my own sake, and for my servant David's sake.'"
