If anyone knowing the nature of good and evil...

Post by Znex »

Stealing this from zompist's Irreanism and making it generic for people to translate into their conlangs.

:con: Flaidish
Liss flaid neck todde mellys churkysen yuunt gaar blaspo churket,
any flaid the.one know-ong.def good-gen evil-gen-and nature-acc if choose-part evil-def
If any flaid, knowing the nature of Good and Evil, chooses Evil,

ʔokem zeckse vott neck.
1s>3s say-ong no the.one
I have nothing to say to him.

ʔok blaste frett mellt.
1s choose-ong however good-acc
But I have chosen the Good.

Wrong forum, perhaps?

No? This is the forum for posting translation material, unless you mean it should be posted on the ZBB? I tend to post topics onto both forums, and plenty of CBB people here know the ZBB and vice versa.

Yeah, same here. That's what I was getting at.

Ohhh?? I guess I must have put it in the wrong forum to begin with and a mod moved it later, whoops. [:x]

This feels like something that would fit in classical philosophy, so I'll try a Hebrew and Greek translation down below:

:isr: Rabbinic Hebrew
מי שידע את-הטוב והרע ורצה את-הרע
mî šĕyādaᶜ ᵓet-haṭṭôv wĕhāraᶜ | wĕrāṣāh ᵓet-hāraᶜ
WH.ANM REL=<PF.3SG>know DDOM=DEF-good and=DEF-evil | and=<PF.3SG>choose DDOM=DEF-evil
(If) anyone who knows good and evil then chooses evil,

איני דן אתו
ᵓēynî dān ᵓōtô
NEG.EXS-1SG <PTCP.M.SG>judge DDOM-3SG
It's not mine to judge them.

ואני רצאתי את-הטוב
waᵓănî rāṣiᵓtî ᵓet-haṭṭôv
but=1SG <PF.1SG>choose DDOM=DEF-good
As for me however, I have chosen good.

:grc: Ancient Greek
ἐὰν μὲν εἰδὼς τὸ ἀγαθὸν καὶ τὸ κακόν τις αἱρῇ τὸ κακόν,
eàn mèn eidṑs tò agathòn kaì tò kakón tis | hairêi tò kakón
if.POT on_the_one_hand know.PRS.PTCP-M.NOM.SG DEF.N.ACC.SG good-N.ACC.SG and DEF.N.ACC.SG bad-N.SG IDEF.PRO.MF.NOM.SG | choose-PRS.SUBJ.3SG DEF.N.ACC.SG bad-N.ACC.SG
If someone knowing good and evil should choose evil,

οὐδέν λέγω αὐτῷ.
oudén légō autôi
NEG.PRO.N.ACC.SG say-PRS.IND.1SG 3SG.OBL-M.DAT.SG
I won't say anything to them.

ἐγὼ δὲ ᾕρηκα τὸ ἀγαθόν.
egō de hḗirēka tò agathón
1SG.EMPH.NOM on_the_other_hand PF-choose-PF.IND.1SG DEF.N.ACC.SG good-N.ACC.SG
But I have chosen good.
