Quando varcai di nuovo la soglia dello studio, ecco sulla mia scrivania un messaggio del padron di casa.
when|I crossed|of|again|the|threshold|of the|study|here|on the|my|desk|a|message|of the|landlord|of|house
When I crossed the threshold of the office again, there was a message from the landlord on my desk.
Lo aprii con mani tremanti.
it|I opened|with|hands|trembling
I opened it with trembling hands.
Mi informava che lo scrivente aveva fatto intervenire la polizia e condurre Bartleby alle Tombe per vagabondaggio.

It informed me that the writer had called the police and had Bartleby taken to the Tombs for vagrancy.
Siccome io su di lui ne sapevo più di ogni altro, mi pregava di recarmi in quel luogo e fare un'adeguata deposizione dei fatti.

Since I knew more about him than anyone else, he begged me to go to that place and make an adequate statement of the facts.

These reports had conflicting reactions on me.
Dapprima ne fui sdegnato, ma, alla fine, giunsi quasi ad approvare la decisione.
at first|about it|I was|indignant|but|to the|end|I arrived|almost|to|to approve|the|decision
At first, I was indignant, but in the end, I almost came to approve the decision.
Il temperamento sbrigativo ed energico del padron di casa lo aveva indotto ad adottare una procedura che non credo mi sarei mai deciso a seguire, eppure, estremo rimedio in quelle circostanze tanto insolite, sembrava l'unica soluzione.

The brisk and energetic temperament of the host had led him to adopt a procedure that I don't think I would ever have decided to follow, yet, as an extreme remedy in such unusual circumstances, it seemed the only solution.
Come appresi più tardi, il povero scrivano, avvertito che doveva essere tradotto alle Tombe, non aveva opposto la minima resistenza, ma vi si era adeguato con la sua pallida, imperturbabile mansuetudine.
||||||||||||||||||||||||||||pale||Mansuetudine
as|I learned|more|later|the|poor|scribe|warned|that|he had to|to be|translated|to the|Tombs|not|he had|opposed|the|minimum|resistance|but|there|himself|he was|adapted|with|the|his|pale|unperturbed|gentleness
Όπως έμαθα αργότερα, ο φτωχός γραφέας, έχοντας προειδοποιήσει ότι έπρεπε να μεταφραστεί στους Τάφους, δεν είχε προβάλει την παραμικρή αντίσταση, αλλά είχε προσαρμοστεί σε αυτό με τη χλωμή, αδιατάρακτη πραότητα του.
As I learned later, the poor scribe, warned that he was to be taken to the Tombs, had not opposed the slightest resistance, but had adapted to it with his pale, unperturbed meekness.
Alcuni presenti, per compassione e curiosità, si erano uniti al gruppo e, capeggiato da un poliziotto a braccetto di Bartleby, il silenzioso corteo aveva sfilato attraverso le concitate strade in mezzo al frastuono e al caldo e all'allegria di mezzogiorno.

Some present, out of compassion and curiosity, had joined the group and, led by a policeman arm in arm with Bartleby, the silent procession had paraded through the tumultuous streets amidst the noise, heat, and midday cheer.
Lo stesso giorno in cui ricevetti quel messaggio, mi recai alle Tombe, ovvero, per esprimermi con precisione, al carcere giudiziario.

On the same day I received that message, I went to the Tombs, or, to express myself precisely, to the judicial prison.

Having sought out the competent official, I stated the purpose of my visit and learned that indeed the individual described was being held there.
Assicurai allora il funzionario che Bartleby era un uomo di assoluta probità, da commiserare profondamente, seppur eccentrico al di là di ogni dire.

I assured the official that Bartleby was a man of absolute integrity, to be deeply pitied, though eccentric beyond all telling.
Esposi tutto quello che sapevo e conclusi suggerendo di tenerlo in reclusione con tutta l'indulgenza possibile, finché non si fosse trovata una soluzione meno aspra, sebbene invero non sapessi quale potesse essere.

I explained everything I knew and concluded by suggesting that he be kept in confinement with as much leniency as possible, until a less harsh solution could be found, although in truth I did not know what that could be.

I then asked to speak with him.
Non essendo imputato di nessun grave reato e avendo sempre un'aria docile e innocua, gli avevano concesso di aggirarsi liberamente per la prigione e soprattutto nei cortili erbosi interni.

Not being charged with any serious crime and always having a docile and harmless demeanor, he had been allowed to roam freely around the prison and especially in the grassy inner courtyards.
Fu quindi lì che lo trovai, da solo, in piedi nell'angolo più tranquillo, con il volto verso un alto muro, mentre tutto intorno, attraverso le strette feritoie delle finestre della prigione, mi parve di scorgere gli occhi di ladri e assassini che sbirciavano.

Think of a man, by nature and misfortune, prone to a languid despair: is there a job more suited to accentuate it than constantly handling these dead letters and sorting them to give them to the flames?

Qualche volta dal foglio piegato il pallido impiegato estrae un anello - il dito al quale era destinato, forse, imputridisce nella tomba; una banconota inviata in un moto di pronta carità… e colui che ne avrebbe tratto sollievo non mangia più e non soffre più la fame; parole di perdono per coloro che morirono nello sconforto; di speranza per coloro che morirono disperati; buone nuove per coloro che morirono soffocati da sventure inconsolabili.

Sometimes from the folded sheet, the pale clerk extracts a ring - the finger to which it was destined, perhaps, rots in the grave; a banknote sent in a moment of swift charity... and the one who would have found relief no longer eats and no longer suffers from hunger; words of forgiveness for those who died in despair; of hope for those who died desperate; good news for those who died suffocated by inconsolable misfortunes.
