Anti-romanization challenge: make Latin spelling interesting

Substantial postings about constructed languages and constructed worlds in general. Good place to mention your own or evaluate someone else's. Put quick questions in C&C Quickies instead.

I was bored and felt like added fun so here it is:

Made a few corrections to the hangul, including a whole clause that was left out, but also changing the grammatical endings to be consistent with how they'd be done in Korean (you don't split syllables to maximize onsets, basically, you split them morphologically, so that if the ending is -e or -um, the ending in hangul is always 애 or 움). I also added things like 프 or 트 for clusters that hangul doesn't support, and since you weren't using that vowel.
Thanks. I was typing with an iPad keyboard, so I was a bit limited in my ability, but I was also ignorant of Hangeul, so many thanks for your help.

Finished the Japanese now. Kinda looks the same in some places as this, although i've used different kanji in some places. I'll copy it again just because I'm quite proud of it:

  • 'Those who have said that the gods exist vary and disagree on so many things that listing their opinions would be endless. Many things have been said about how the gods look, where their places and seats are, and what they do in their lives. These things are what the philosophers largely disagree in. But the most important part is whether they do nothing, plan nothing, and exist free of concerns and any management of the world. Or whether, on the other hand, everything has been made and formed by them from the beginning, and is going to be ruled and moved by them forever. Here is where there's the most disagreement. Unless there's a solution to this, humanity will necessarily remain in the greatest of errors and ignorant of the most important things.' (Cicero, On the Nature of the Gods, book I.)

Here it is in Khmer:

As a bonus, here it is re-Romanized using the BGN/PCGN 1972 Romanization System for Khmer:
