Genesi第30章:7
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.
Arcana Coelestia#3978
3978. Verses 27-30 And Laban salt to him, If now I have found grace in your eyes.... I have learned from experience, and Jehovah has blessed me for your sake. And he said, Indicate your wages to me, and I will give them. And [Jacob] said to him, You know how I have served you, and how your cattle have fared with me. For you had few before I came, and they have increased into a multitude; and Jehovah has blessed you since I set foot here. And now, when shall I, even I, provide for my own house? 'Laban said to him' means perception from the good meant by Laban. 'If now I have found grace in your eyes' means a strong inclination. 'I have learned from experience, and Jehovah has blessed me for your sake' means originating in the Divine, for the sake of the good of the natural which it is to serve. 'And he said, Indicate your wages to me, and I will give them' means that it would of itself impart that which was desired. 'And [Jacob] said to him, You know how I have served you' means that it knew its mind and power. 'And how your cattle have fared with me' also means originating in the Divine. 'For you had few before I came' means that its good is barren before it is joined to the good of the natural. 'And they have increased into a multitude' means fertility after that. 'And Jehovah has blessed you since I set foot here' means resulting from the Divine endowment which the natural possessed. 'And now, when shall I, even I, provide for my own house?' means that now its own good will be made fruitful from this.
