| | TraducereaEngleză Tradus de Lein | Limba ţintă: Engleză
Lord, have mercy! Lord, let me see clearly. Forgive me, lords, have mercy. Forgive me for my hands bringing about the curse.
| Observaţii despre traducere | Last line: forgive me (for the fact) that the curse comes true through my hands.
'The curse' here doesn't refer to any specific curse, I think; rather to 'that which is bad'.
The requester explains in the notes that this is a little prayer in which the Christian God and Greek gods both figure. She would like to know the pronunciation, if possible. |

I think "give me vision" is more accurate. | | | 24 August 2010 18:02 | | LeinNumărul mesajelor scrise: 3389 | OK. It just sounds weird in English. | | | 24 August 2010 18:10 | | | I agree. What the original really means is "lucidity" or "clearness". | | | 26 August 2010 17:29 | | | What about: "discernment"? | | | 26 August 2010 17:43 | | LeinNumărul mesajelor scrise: 3389 | If we are going for less than literal, why not 'let me see clearly'? | | | 26 August 2010 17:49 | | | I think that might work | | | 26 August 2010 22:58 | | | Well, if we go poetic, it would be .."wide my eyes ..." | | | 26 August 2010 23:15 | | | I'm afraid "wide" is not a verb. We could say:
"open my eyes wide". Is that what you mean? | | | 27 August 2010 08:53 | | | yes, but when in a poem, I believe you can make an adjective, a verb... |
