Dante's Inferno Translation:

"I AM THE WAY INTO THE CITY OF WOE.

I AM THE WAY TO A FORSAKEN PEOPLE.

I AM THE WAY INTO ETERNAL SORROW.

SACRED JUSTICE MOVED MY ARCHITECT.

I WAS RAISED HERE BY DIVINE OMNIPOTENCE,

PRIMORDIAL LOVE AND ULTIMATE INTELLECT.

ONLY THOSE ELEMENTS TIME CANNOT WEAR

WERE MADE BEFORE ME, AND BEYOND TIME I STAND.

ABANDON ALL HOPE YE WHO ENTER HERE. "

In middle Italian:

Per me si va nella citta dolente per me si va nell'eterno dolore

per me si va tra la perduta gente

giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore

facemi la divina podestate

la soma sapienza e la primo amore

devante a me, non fuor cosa create

sei non eterno, ed io eterno duro

lasciate ogne speranze voi qu'intrate

Translation:

Through me the way to the suffering city

Through me the way to eternal pain

Through me the way that runs amond the lost

Justice urged on my high artifier

my maker was divine authority

the highest wisdom, and the primal love

Before me, nothing but eternal things were made

and I endure eternally

Abandon all hope, who enter here
