Metaglossia: The Translation World

La Sociedad Bíblica de Brasil (SBB), lanzará mañana la primera traducción de la Biblia en el idioma Calon Chibi, hablada por los gitanos en Brasil. El libro de Rut, fue traducido en su idioma y se mostrará durante la 6 ª Reunión Nacional de la Evangelización de los Gitanos que acontece en Maringá.

La traducción del libro se realizó durante el curso de Traductores Indígenas de la Biblia (TIB) que se produjo en enero del 2012.

Los gitanos asistieron a esta reunión para ayudarles en el trabajo, ya que la historia de Rut, es corta, pero llena de desafíos lingüísticos.

El Secretario de Traducción y Publicación de SBB, Paulo Teixeira, comentó que esta versión tiene una gran importancia para la preservación de la lengua. “La traducción de esta porción de la Biblia es sólo el comienzo de otra misión asumida por SBB, en asociación con otros, para llevar la Palabra de Dios a un pueblo en su propio idioma”.

Teixeira, también cree que la historia del libro de Rut, se ha traducido en relación con la historia del pueblo gitano. “Este libro tiene historia, aventura y también habla sobre una mujer, la familia, la tradición, el nomadismo y la migración. Tiene todo que ver con la historia del pueblo gitano”.

El misionero Igor Shi, del ministerio Misión Amigos Gitanos, dice que este libro traducido es de mucha importancia para los romaníes y sus tradiciones. “Es el primer texto completo de la Biblia traducida por personas gitanas que hablan Calon Chibi en la historia de Brasil. Sin duda, esta historia será muy útil en su uso, es decir, podemos hacer varios paralelos entre la vida gitana y el contenido del libro, ya que – como los gitanos – Ruth fue una extranjera y se incluyó en la fe del pueblo de Dios”.

Who wrote Beowulf? 
The epic poem Beowulf is the most important surviving work of Anglo-Saxon literature. Known only from a single manuscript called the Nowell Codex, it is a tale of heroic dragon-slaying exploits so potent that a translation of its 3,182 lines into modern English won Seamus Heaney the Whitbread Book of the Year Prize in 1999. Yet we know almost nothing of the origins of Beowulf. The best that can be said is that it was written somewhere between the eighth and eleventh centuries. As for the identity of the writer, we have no idea at all. The story may, however, have existed for some time, being passed down in the oral tradition, before finally being written down.

What did Edgar Allan Poe die of? 
On 3 October 1849 the forty-year-old Edgar Allan Poe was found in great distress and a state of delirium on the streets of Baltimore, Maryland. He was taken to Washington College Hospital, where he died four days later, having never in that time been coherent enough to explain what had happened.

Poe had last been seen on 27 September, when he left Richmond, Virginia, on his way home to New York. No clear evidence of his whereabouts is known until he was found in Baltimore. During his four days in the hospital, he was kept in an area reserved for drunks, and was denied any visitors. On the night before he died, he is said to have repeatedly shouted out the name 'Reynolds.'

Why was Poe wearing someone else's clothes when he died?

El Ministerio Público informó que un perito nombrado por un juez tiene, en este momento, toda la prueba financiera traída de Canadá, en el caso que se sigue contra el expresidente Óscar Arias, por una presunta donación hecha por la empresa Industrias Infinito a la Fundación Arias para la Paz.

“…Respecto a la prueba enviada por las autoridades canadienses, le informo que la totalidad de los documentos se encuentran en manos de un perito, encargado de hacer la traducción oficial de la evidencia…”, informó la oficina de prensa de la Fiscalía por medio de un correo electrónico.

crhoy.com recibió una respuesta similar desde el 17 de abril pasado, hace más de un mes, donde se indicaba, también por parte del Ministerio Público, que dichos documentos “se encuentran en el trámite de traducción para luego analizarla”.

Y es que desde la Dirección Jurídica del Ministerio de Relaciones Exteriores le confirmó a este diario que desde el 8 de febrero pasado trasladaron a la Secretaría de la Corte Suprema de Justicia, la documentación enviada por el Ministerio de Justicia de Canadá, con relación a la causa penal 08-000011-033-PE.

Sin embargo, la Fundación se ha negado a entregar, a solicitud de este medio, los informes financieros donde se pueda evidenciar que no hubo la presunta donación que investiga el Ministerio Público.

KEARNEY — Can you dig it?

Kearney Public Library’s summer reading program, “I Dig …”, encourages reading by patrons of all levels. Shawna Lindner, youth services librarian, sees the program as a way to keep books in front of young readers during the months without school.

“It’s a fun way to keep reading books through the summer,” Lindner said. “Reading books through the summer helps kids retain reading skills they learned during the school year. It’s very important to read at least a couple of books, if not more.”

The library kicks off the reading program with a celebration from 9-11 a.m. Thursday at the library at 2020 First Ave. The event includes door prizes as well as registration for “I Dig …”

“We’ll also have karaoke, a DJ playing all of our dance favorites, a photo booth where people can get their pictures taken,” Linder said. “The Paws to Read dogs will be here, too.”

Summer reading programs can help foster creativity, imaginative thinking and family time. Paws to Read features therapy dogs who will sit and listen to children as they read.

“Usually, people come to the library as a family,” Linder said. “Quite a few of our activities on our challenge sheet incorporate working as a family unit. Kids will also get a chance to see a lot of their friends over the summer that they might miss from school — and make some new friends as well.”

It’s rare when you can pinpoint the moment of a major game changer for an industry to a single day. Usually, these shifts happen over time; and then one day, you look back and realize how momentous a particular event really was.

A popular saying has it that actions speak louder than words, but for late Chinua Achebe, both actions and words combined together are two necessary ingredients which complement each other and speak voluminously than when each stands on its own. Little one wonders at his Lustre for the use of proverbs in all his published works.

According to Achebe, proverbs are the palm oil with which words are eaten. This view add meaning to the definition of proverbs as short and pithy sayings which defines a cultural language and encapsulates society’s values and beliefs.

It’s been some time since the new Mass translations went into effect, butanother survey shows that priests are unhappy with the results.

The 2013 Survey of U.S. Priests on the New Roman Missal from Saint John's University School of Theology Seminary of 1,536 priests demonstrates that a majority of these priests remain skeptical about the new translations.

According to the survey, 59 percent do not like the new Mass. Respondents overwhelmingly indicate that the new phrasing is awkward and distracting, with 80 percent agreeing. Nearly two thirds—61 percent—think that the new translation “urgently needs to be revised,” and the same percentage does not think that the Liturgy of the Hours and other sacraments should be updated to the same style as the new missal.
