The Gospels in Anglish

Otsikko tulee Julian Montinaro kirjoittamasta kirjasta “The Gospels in Anglish”, jonka posteljooni pudotti luukustani 29.12.2017. Tilasin kirjan osoitteesta Amazon.de. Se maksoi 10, 49 euroa, minkä päälle tulivat vielä toimituskulut. Raamatun evankeliumit (The Gospels) on kirjoitettu englannilla, joka pyrkii korvaamaan latinalais- ja kreikkalaisperäiset sanat mahdollisella germaanisilla vastineilla.

Kirjan takaosassa on Anglish – English WORDBOOK, ei siis dictionary. Sanasto, vaikka tässä puhutaankin sanakirjasta, perustuu suurimmaksi osaksi osoitteessa ednewenglish.tripod.com olevaan sanastoon.

1. And seeing the droves, he went up into a barrow: and when he was set, his loreknights came unto him:	And seeing the multitudes, He went up on a mountain, and when He was seated His disciples came to Him.	Nähdessään kansanjoukot Jeesus nousi vuorelle. Hän istuutui, ja opetuslapset tulivat hänen luokseen.
2. And he opened his mouth, and taught them, saying,	Then He opened His mouth and taught them, saying:	Silloin hän alkoi puhua ja opetti heitä näin:
3. Blessed are the arm in ferth: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.	“Blessed are the poor in spirit, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.	“Autuaita ovat hengessään köyhät, sillä heidän on taivasten valtakunta.
4. Blessed are they that mourn: for they shall be frovered.	Blessed are those who mourn, For they shall be comforted.	Autuaita murheelliset: he saavat lohdutuksen.
5. Blessed are the meek: for they shall erve the earth.	Blessed are the meek, For they shall inherit the earth.	Autuaita kärsivälliset: he perivät maan.
6. Blessed are they which do hunger and thirst after rightsomeness: for they shall be filled.	Blessed are those who hunger and thirst righteousness, For they shall be filled.	Autuaita ne, joilla on vanhurskauden nälkä ja jano: heidät ravitaan.
7. Blessed are the ruthful: for they shall underfang ruth.	Blessed are the merciful, For they shall obtain mercy.	Autuaita ne, jotka toisia armahtavat: heidät armahdetaan.
8. Blessed are the siver in heart:  for they shall see God.	Blessed art the pure in heart, For they shall see God.	Autuaita puhdassydämiset: he saavat nähdä Jumalan.
9. Blessed are the frithmakers: for they shall be called the children of God.	Blessed are the peacemakers, For they shall be called sons of God.	Autuaita ovat rauhantekijät: he saavat Jumalan lapsen nimen.
10. Blessed are they which are dretched for rightsomeness’ sake: for theirs is the kingdom of heaven.	Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness’ sake, For theirs is the kingdom of heaven.	Autuaita ovat ne, joita vanhurskauden vuoksi vainotaan: heidän on taivasten valtakunta.

Englannin kielen harmonisointi on loistava idea, jota tällä hetkellä toteutetaan lähinnä vapaaehtoisvoimin. Näin jotkin sanaehdotukset ovat, ainakin minun mielestäni, melko kankeita. Anglish –idea kaipaisi taakseen kielitieteilijöitä ja suuria yliopistoja, jotta germaanispohjaiset sanat ja sanajohdokset olisivat yhtenäisiä ja idiomaattisia. Latinalais- ja kreikkalais- ja muista ei germaanisista lainoista luopuminen on perustelua, koska englannin kielen perusrakenne on germaaninen. Katso aiheesta oleva video.

Happy to the Core – Läpikotaisin onnellinen

 

When the evening

Arrives into the world

I am happy to the core.

The darkness doesn't flirt nor boast

But consoles in the silent voice

My modest needed heart.

It predicts the coming of the royal

Night

And the stars on the ballroom's roof

With the pillars called trees,

And most of all, free entrance

For creatures which the day hasn't

The faintest clue like the light

Doesn't know the ambiguity

Who teaches the dance steps.

Мечта

The table below was my starting point where I started to translate my aphorism "Unelma" into Russian. It is from my second poem collection, "Paljon on meneillään", published in 1994, ISBN 951-97103-0-2. As you can see that I haven't conjugated Russian verbs neither inflected nouns.

мечта	mitšta	Unelma	dream,
который не	katoryj ne	joka ei	which don't
летать	litetj	lennä,	fly,
носить	nasitj	kantaa	carry
моя жизнь, f	maja žyznj	elämääni.	my life
мечта, которая не летает, несёт мою жизнь. © Yelling Rosa	This is the result which i have got from using dictionaries, grammar books, Google translator and search.	Unelma, joka ei lennä, kantaa elämääni. © Yelling Rosa	The dream, Which doesn’t fly, Carries my life. © Yelling Rosa

Even though there are a few unsolved questions. Firstly, I’m not sure does the word “мечта» mean both “unelma” (dream) and “haave” (dream). In Finnish these words have different meanings. “Unelma” is something which can be realized but “haave” is a castle in the air. Perhaps this is the case in Russian as well.

Secondly, I am not sure if I have conjugated the feminine word “жизнь” (life) correctly. The Google search gave me the sentence: Я читал газету. = I read my newspaper => This tells me that nominative is not the same than accusative at least when we talk about the feminine word “газета” (newspaper).

On the other hand, I found the video “Юрий Антонов Несёт меня течение” where the accusative of the word “течение” (current) is the same as the nominative. Perhaps this is the case with the word the жизнь (life).

 

If I had a good luck everything is in order, otherwise not. I feel that i have at least 55 % chance to have a correct translation. I would appreciate if there is someone who could give more information on this. In this case I can speak about the translation because the text runs without figure of speech and has no idiomatic language. The birds fly everywhere in a same way and we carry things in only one way. Still, even I say it myself, this aphorism has a message. In fact, it was my style to hide a surprise inside the most common phrases. Many people, who have read the book, say that the method works. I am not saying this in order to show off, but to tell the original idea of the expression. Sometimes any kind of translation is impossible from one language into another.

Moreover, perhaps the English version doesn’t work. I have mostly written my English poems using English because translating is a dangerous business.

How to Write English Differently

As a member of outside English language family I have always been fed up with the way the English language is written. Even Stephen Pollington says in his book Wordcraft (ISBN 9781898281535) on the page 16: “Unlike modern English, where a number of spelling traditions have been unhappily brought together and produced chaos, Old English spelling is generally very straightforward”. Some pronunciation symbols here come from his book and some other from the dictionaries.

Add when it sounds: ə, æ, ʌ, but not when [a] is pronounced [ei], as it should be pronounced. Symbols must be use also when other letters sound as described at the beginning this chapter. What about sound “ph”? It must be “f”. Ou is ə. “Th” is ð.

We mʌst əkʌstem people to ðə précis fysical exæminaʃən so ðæt ðey nəu how precəs it is now.
=> We must accustom people to the precise physical examination so that they know how preceous it is now.

I don’t understand where have the English people got their pronunciation because a is pronounced mainly in French as [a] and in Latin also. Perhaps it comes from the Old English somehow.

Of course those symbols could be different but the main idea is to minimize the confusion. This is only a quickly made pattern, and the final works should be done at English universities by their linguists with the help of computers. That’s why I left the word people untouched because I don’t know if eo is always ii.
