non enim in errorem induxit nos hominum malae artis excogitatio nec umbra picturae labor sine fructu effigies sculpta per varios colores

We have not been led astray by the evil creations of human skill or by the barren toil of painters, figures covered over with varied colors,

For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colors,

We have not been misled by any evil product of human skill, by any useless object painted by some artist, or by any idol smeared with different colors.

Forsooth the thinking out of evil craft of men brought not us into error, neither the shadow of painture travail without fruit, an image graven by diverse colours; [Forsooth not into error in-led us the out-thinking of the evil craft of men, nor the shadow of painting travail without fruit, the graven likeness by diverse colours;]

For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colors,

For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colors,

For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colours,

The misguided art of humans didn’t deceive us, nor did the fruitless labor of clever painters even when they created an image that was dazzling in its combination of colors.

For the evil creation of human fancy did not deceive us, nor the fruitless labor of painters, A form smeared with varied colors,

For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colors,

For neither has the evil intent of human art misled us, nor the fruitless toil of painters, a figure stained with varied colours,
