So we're done?

Yep.

The initial text:
In the beginning, there was no light, so the god Akáo wanted to lighten the world. Then, high up in the sky, he created a river of lava that flowed to the center of the sky, where it became the sun. The sun still rises and sets each day as it had done since when Akáo created it, and it will continue doing so for the eternity.

The final text:
In the beginning, there was nothing that could pierce the darkness. Nothing existed.

But then the god Iga gave light to the world, and a river of fire flew the sky. When it got to the center of the sky, the river quieted and formed a bright, shining sphere, and so became the sun.

That's why, to this day, the sun comes up and goes down. It has to come up and go down every day. It can and it will, now and forever, thanks to the benevolent Iga.

The results will be put to KneeQuickie on Friday.

While we're waiting for the full results, here's an intermediate version:

When action began, things exceeding darkness were missing; there was nothing.
However, the god Aigau gave the world light.
A river of lava flowed going to the middle of the sky, creating the sun.
The sun rose and it fell --
the sun must have risen and it must have fallen --
every day, because Aigau was benevolent.

FINAL TEXT
In the beginning, there was nothing that could pierce the darkness. Nothing existed.

But then the god Iga gave light to the world, and a river of fire flew the sky. When it got to the center of the sky, the river quieted and formed a bright, shining sphere, and so became the sun.

Ebba böwvau yaxhïnfagägndzilaäherpenilaäse'hn y lhwose'hn, Agau vözexhïnnië, y rümmawuþrvözewna.

In the beginning, there was no light, so the god Akao wanted to lighten the world.
Then high in the sky, he made a river of lava that flowed to the center of the sky where it became the sun.
The sun continues to rise and set each day as usual after Akao made it, and it will continue to do so for eternity.

3: vampireshark: Zukish → Telèmor
Èo comensar, n’eșt riã c̦e s’oscuritan, partan se dieur Aigau donnissi se lumiar èa dominia. Une fleuve de fogieru ștormissi èo țentrul sièlir și fi un ahèliã. S’ahèliã leva și levèr, cușa și cușèr, tozile și normaleu grassa d’Aigau.

In the beginning, there was darkness; the god Agau then brought light to the world. High at the center of the sky, a river of lava flowed and forged a sun. Thanks to Agau, the sun always rises and sets regularly and always will.

4: clawgrip: Telèmor → Himmaswa
Soatjark glooay'arm faal gpen tui pleu gna lobnih, cheung Aigau-jbung fpooayngdeuuk genmon flet karñ. Flet juk ler io keun gwa ler tmaakpneh tiaut, tek kang liam. Liam tuin dua tuin klaang de dua de klaang, gaachaot aafneuut, sway charng eñ ler Aigau.

In the beginning, there was nothing but darkness, however the god Aigau gave light to the world. A river of magma flowed to the centre of the sky and made the sun. The sun rises and will rise, sets and will set, every day with regularity, thanks to Aigau.

5: qiihoskeh, Himmaswa → Jan12
tasfa tanvalajenel mifelsu notes tâlok laxoi; mipukil.

When action began, things exceeding darkness were missing; there was nothing.
However, the god Aigau gave the world light.
A river of lava flowed going to the middle of the sky, creating the sun.
The sun rose and it fell --
the sun must have risen and it must have fallen --
every day, because Aigau was benevolent.

6: cedh audmanh, Jan12 → Buruya Nzaysa
Nzo pewəlu, steyah rabɛ xa u dexo ubarɛ rɔmaxa lu mɔrɛ sopsə. Steyə maxɛ agɛ.

Dal tsetsu na lo nexo Aygɔ puh lo ŋkana ɔ təña tsapse. Ta u ɔtse tsaftɛ mvəbo lu səlu mlana. Ntəməlu o lu ñunɛ ah lo səlu, ŋkena lo ɔtse ño u kwɛbo təña ntsa tɛfta o ñawe; ɔdɔwə xə’ə lo ɔtse lu tol.

In the beginning, there were no things at all which would defeat the darkness. Nothing existed.

But then the god Aygɔ gave light to the world. A river of fire began to flow through the sky. Arriving in the middle of the sky, it joined itself and settled down as a ball of bright light; the river thus became the sun.

Now the sun rises and sets. The sun must actually rise and set every day. So it is, now and forever, because Aygɔ is benevolent.

7: Sevly, Buruya Nzaysa → English

I was adding this to Knee Quickie and just realized that we seem to be missing a translation. Unless I'm mistaken, Sevly's translation seems to be attributed to cedh audmanh, and cedh audmanh's translation is missing.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 9:44 am**

Fixed. Thank you.

Posted: **Fri Mar 15, 2013 12:31 pm**

Not really; that one is my translation of the previous text (i.e. Jan12 > English). My own English back-translation from Buruya Nzaysa is as follows:

In the beginning, there were no things at all which would defeat the darkness. Nothing existed.

But then the god Aygɔ gave light to the world. A river of fire began to flow through the sky. Arriving in the middle of the sky, it joined itself and settled down as a ball of bright light; the river thus became the sun.

Now the sun rises and sets. The sun must actually rise and set every day. So it is, now and forever, because Aygɔ is benevolent.
