yucky

ack. didn't like this project at all.

translating old english Parables



Surprisingly enough, it was easy to recognize the source: Luke 6:39-45

30 And He also spoke a parable to them: "A blind man cannot guide a blind man, can he? Will they not both fall into a pit?"
40 A pupil is not above his teacher; but everyone, after he has been fully trained, will be like his teacher.
41"Why do you look at the speck that is in your brother's eye, but do not notice the log that is in your own eye?
42 "Or how can you say to your brother, `Brother, let me take out the speck that is in your eye,' when you yourself do not see the log that is in your own eye? You hypocrite, first take the log out of your own eye, and then you will see clearly to take out the speck that is in your brother's eye.
43 "For there is no good tree which produces bad fruit, nor, on the other hand, a bad tree which produces good fruit.
44 "For each tree is known by its own fruit. For men do not gather figs from thorns, nor do they pick grapes from a briar bush.
45 "The good man out of the good treasure of his heart brings forth what is good; and the evil man out of the evil treasure brings forth what is evil; for his mouth speaks from that which fills his heart.
46 "Why do you call Me, `Lord, Lord,' and do not do what I say?



My Translation:
He said suggestively to them, may a blind one blind lead? how fall begin in a pit?

learning from the teacher; be fulfilled, he is like his teacher

why you guess to mote on brother's eye, and not guess the beam in your eye?

and you might to your prother, Brother, let the mote of your eye, and you self not guess then beam in your eye. hypocrite, arrest the beam of your eye, and you guess the mote of your brotheres eye.

no good tree the wastedfruit ; no tree evil good fruit

each tree is be his wasted; no of thornum fig-apple, or briars on

Good man of god- gold- hearten bringforth; and man of evil gold-hearted evil bringforth; mouth speaketh sways heart.

Why Lord, Lord, and not doeth what i say?



I'd like to shoot myself in the head now.
BANG!
