    A Dio, a sé, al prossimo si pòne 31 'Violence may be aimed at God, oneself,
 
far forza, dico in loro e in lor cose, 32 or at one's neighbor -- thus against all three
 
come udirai con aperta ragione. 33 or their possessions -- as I shall now explain.
 
    Morte per forza e ferute dogliose 34 'Violent death and grievous wounds may be inflicted
 
nel prossimo si danno, e nel suo avere 35 upon a neighbor or, upon his goods,
 
ruine, incendi e tollette dannose; 36 pillage, arson, and violent theft.
 
    onde omicide e ciascun che mal fiere, 37 'And so murderers and everyone who wounds
 
guastatori e predon, tutti tormenta 38 unjustly, spoilers and plunderers -- the first ring
 
lo giron primo per diverse schiere. 39 punishes all these in separate groups.
 
    Puote omo avere in sé man vïolenta 40 'A man may lay injurious hands upon himself
 
e ne' suoi beni; e però nel secondo 41 or on his goods, and for that reason
 
giron convien che sanza pro si penta 42 in the second ring must he repent in vain
 
    qualunque priva sé del vostro mondo, 43 'who robs himself of the world above
 
biscazza e fonde la sua facultade, 44 or gambles away and wastes his substance,
 
e piange là dov' esser de' giocondo. 45 lamenting when he should rejoice.
