The divine comedy — Page 4
That any suff'rance of your misery
Que qualquer sofrimento da tua miséria
Touches me not, nor flame of that fierce fire
Não me toca, nem a chama desse fogo feroz
Assails me. In high heaven a blessed dame
Me assalta. No alto céu uma dama abençoada
Besides, who mourns with such effectual grief
Além disso, que chora com tamanho pesar eficaz
That hindrance, which I send thee to remove,
Aquele obstáculo, que te envio para remover,
That God's stern judgment to her will inclines."
Que o severo julgamento de Deus à vontade dela se inclina."
To Lucia calling, her she thus bespake:
Chamando por Lúcia, assim lhe falou:
"Now doth thy faithful servant need thy aid
"Agora o teu fiel servo necessita do teu auxílio
And I commend him to thee." At her word
E eu o recomendo a ti." À sua palavra
Sped Lucia, of all cruelty the foe,
Lúcia partiu veloz, inimiga de toda crueldade,
And coming to the place, where I abode
E chegando ao lugar onde eu me encontrava
Seated with Rachel, her of ancient days,
Sentado com Raquel, ela dos tempos antigos,
She thus address'd me: "Thou true praise of God!
Assim me dirigiu a palavra: "Ó tu, verdadeiro louvor de Deus!
Beatrice! why is not thy succour lent
Beatriz! por que não é dado o teu socorro
To him, who so much lov'd thee, as to leave
Àquele que tanto te amou, ao ponto de abandonar
For thy sake all the multitude admires?
Por tua causa tudo o que a multidão admira?
Dost thou not hear how pitiful his wail,
Não ouves quão lastimoso é o seu lamento,
Nor mark the death, which in the torrent flood,
Nem notas a morte, que na torrente impetuosa,
Swoln mightier than a sea, him struggling holds?"
Inchada mais poderosa que um mar, o mantém a debater-se?"
Ne'er among men did any with such speed
Jamais entre os homens alguém com tamanha rapidez
Haste to their profit, flee from their annoy,
Apressou-se ao seu proveito, fugiu do seu incômodo,
As when these words were spoken, I came here,
Como quando estas palavras foram ditas, eu vim aqui,
Down from my blessed seat, trusting the force
Descendo do meu abençoado assento, confiando na força
Of thy pure eloquence, which thee, and all
Da tua pura eloquência, que a ti, e a todos
Who well have mark'd it, into honour brings."
Que bem a notaram, conduz à honra."
"When she had ended, her bright beaming eyes
"Quando ela terminou, os seus olhos brilhantes e radiosos
Tearful she turn'd aside; whereat I felt
Ela voltou de lado, lacrimosos; ao que senti
Redoubled zeal to serve thee. As she will'd,
Redobrado zelo para te servir. Como ela desejou,
Thus am I come: I sav'd thee from the beast,
Assim vim: salvei-te da besta,
Who thy near way across the goodly mount
Que o teu caminho próximo através do formoso monte
Prevented.
Impediu.
