Hei nyt oikeesti mitä vittua
Maailmanloppu alkaa Muumilaaksosta!
For the longest time I wondered about those "biblically accurate angels" until I realised that they don't *exist* in the modern Finnish translation (that aims for clarity, not literalness)
So:
"Their entire bodies, including their backs, their hands and their wings, were completely full of eyes, as were their four wheels." (Ezekiel 10:12)
vs.
"Koko kerubien ruumis ja niiden selkä, kädet ja siivet välkehtivät kauttaaltaan valoa, samoin niiden neljä pyörää."
- Ezekiel's angels in 1992 Finnish are covered in shimmering light, not eyes!
The 1992 translation was created by a team of linguists, theologians, historians, archeologists and other Bible professionals, whose task was to bring the ideas of the original text(s - they used the oldest text fragments available) to the modern reader; not necessarily the literal expressions. (See Dynamic and formal equivalence.)
HOWEVER, the eyes DID exist in the 1938 translation that aimed for the literal shifting of the Hebrew into Finnish:
Ja niillä oli koko ruumis ja selät ja kädet ja siivet ja pyörät täynnä silmiä, yltympäri.
This translation isn't actually very good example of the Finnish language as it is so heavily influenced by Hebrew grammar and idioms, but it is used as a tool by theologians to reach nuances of the original language.
Anyway,
now I know what the "biblically accurate angels" are, where they can be found and why I hadn't heard of them before Tumblr.
Enkelit: *tuhansia silmiä, neljät kasvot, kuusi siipeä, taivainen sotajoukko pauhaa jumalan sanaa ilmestyessä maan päälle*
Enkelit: Miks' hämmästyitte säikähtäin?
Paimenet: Vittu vähemmästäki paskois allensa.
Seurakunnan viikonloppuleiri
Odotukset: Raamatun lukemista, rauhallista menoa ja aikaisin nukkumaan menemistä.
Todellisuus: Valvomista yli puolenyön, paskanpuhumista ja netissä trollailua.
Miksi joku haluaisi taskuraamatun? Mieluummin taskumatin!
