I would like to try my hand at translating a form of Terran literature
that appears to heretofore have been neglected, and which should be
addressed, if only so it can confuse Klingon Terran scholars. :D See if
the meaning came through at all. You will note that I have had to nail
together a couple of words and structures; if anyone feels they're
inappropriate or flat out wrong, let me know. I've split out lines and
added punctuation to hopefully make the meaning a little clearer.
This is my first attempt at translation into Klingon of anything
longer than two words, by the way.
ben'a' jatlh QubwI' *qan chang* quv:
puS Hu' joqghargh jIH 'e' jInajpu'.
'ach DaH,
joqghargh jIH 'e' naj *qan chang* jIH,
pagh *qan chang* jIH 'e' naj joqghargh jIH, jISovbe'.
This might be clearer if I knew of a construction for the
phrase "ever since then".
