Lord, have mercy!
Lord, let me see clearly.
Forgive me, lords, have mercy.
Forgive me for my hands bringing about the curse.
| Details voor de vertaling | 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 augustus 2010 18:10 | | | I agree. What the original really means is "lucidity" or "clearness". | | |
26 augustus 2010 17:29 | | | What about: "discernment"? | | |

LeinAantal berichten: 3389 | If we are going for less than literal, why not 'let me see clearly'? | | |
26 augustus 2010 17:49 | | | I think that might work | | |
26 augustus 2010 22:58 | | | Well, if we go poetic, it would be .."wide my eyes ..." | | |
26 augustus 2010 23:15 | | | I'm afraid "wide" is not a verb. We could say:
"open my eyes wide". Is that what you mean? | | |
27 augustus 2010 08:53 | | | yes, but when in a poem, I believe you can make an adjective, a verb... |
