Produktbeschreibung

Excerpt from The Psalms in Modern Speech and Rhythmical Form This translation aims at reproducing, in modern speech, something of the impression created by the rhythmical form of the Hebrew Psalter. From lovers of the Bible much of its beauty is not infrequently hidden, because it is so persistently presented to them in the garb of prose. Doubtless it is true that Hebrew poetry loses less through translation into prose than does the poetry of other languages; and this because one of its chief characteristics is the so-called "parallelism," in virtue of which the second line of a verse is usually an echo of, or contrast to, the first - a feature which no translation, however inadequate, can altogether obliterate. But between lines thus related there is also a certain correspondence of accent, and any translation which would do approximate justice to the original must seek to satisfy the ear as well as the mind. In a translation which attempts to be faithful, this is not easy; for it frequently happens that one Hebrew word demands for its adequate, or at any rate for its literal, interpretation six or even more English words; and probably no translation which was narrowly faithful could invariably produce its effect within lines so short and with accents so few as those which characterize the Hebrew original. At the same time I have sought to reproduce, or at least to suggest, something of its music and cadence, and to convey an impression not only of its spirit, but also of its form.
