[Tlhingan-hol] Klingon Bible nonsense

[Felix Malmenbeck]

It's certainly tempting to give the ta naQ a try ;)

There of course is the (excellent) Klingon translation of the Dao De Jing, by Agnieszka Solska, which I also have in my "library", which could count as religious or at least highly philosophical work.

The Qur'an (the word already looks Klingon, doesn't it?!) would be a logical choice. I always had the impression that it's more difficult to translate than the Bible.

I'll just point out that this year is the 400th anniversary of the
King James translation of The Bible.

According to my records, we have:

Old Testament:
Ruth 1
Ester 1
Job 13:14
Psalms 1, 34, 117, 122,
Jonah 1-4

New Testament:
Mark - Complete book
John 3:16


Not complete by any stretch.

You could have read it for free over at http://mrklingon.org/



I've also translated a few chapters in The Book of Mormon, but I don't
have those notes on me right now.

Have any other religious text been attempted?
