Translation talk:Epistle to the Laodiceans

Old and New Translation
The old translation is right below. It is not a bad translation, but it was explicitly licensed under the GNU free documentation license, rather than the public domain like the rest, that's why I re-translated it. The new translation is based on this source, the Wycliffite note is from the Wycliffe bible, and the Latin is from the Victor manuscript(digital scans at the fulda website and a transcription at archive.org[although not followed exactly in the breaking apart of words{the original had no word breaks}}), except for the part of verse 17, which is from the same source as the old translation. The text from the sources is below:

Wycliffite Note
Laodicensis ben also Colocenses, as tweye townes and oo peple in maners. These ben of Asie, and among hem hadden be false apostils, and disceyuede manye. Therfore the postle bringith hem to mynde of his conuersacion and trewe preching of the gospel, and excitith hem to be stidfast in the trewe witt and loue of Crist, and to be of oo wil. But this pistil is not in comyn Latyn bookis, and therfor it was but late translatid into Englisch tunge.

Paulus apostolus non ab hominibus,, Neque per hominemu sed per ihesum christum,,

Fratribus qui sunt Laodiciae,, Gratia ubis et pax a deo omnium patre et domino ihesu christo,, Gratias ago christo per omnem oratione tionem meam

Quod permanentes estis in eo et perseuerantes in operibus eius promissum expectantes in diem judicii,, neque destituant uos quorundam uani loguia insinuantium,,

Ut uos euertant a ueritate euangelii quod a me praedicatur,, et nunc faciet deus ut qui sunt ex me ad profectum ueritatis euangelii de seruientes,,

Et facientes benignitatem operum que salutis uitae aeternae

2
Et nunc palam sunt uincula mea quae patior in christo,, quibus laetor et gaudeo,, et hoc mihi est ad salutem perpetuam quod ipsum factum orationibus uestris, et adminstrantem spiritum sanctum siue per uitam siue per mortem, est enim mihi uere uita in christo et mori gaudium,, et in ipsum in uobis faciet misericordiam suam,, ut eandem di lectionem habeatis, et sitis unianimes

3
Ergo dilectissimi ut audistis praesenita mei, ita retinete et facite in timore dei et erit uobis uita in aeternum,, est enim deus qui operatur in uos, et facite sine retractu, quaecumque facitis et quod est dilectissimi gaudete in christo

4
Et praecauete sordidos in lucro omnes sint petitiones uestrae palam aput deum, et estote firmi in sensu christi et quae integra et uera et pudica, et iusta et amabilia facite et quae audistis, et accepistis, in corde retinete et erit uobis pax [salutate omnes fratres in osculo sancto.]

5
Salutant uos sancti, gratia domini ihesu cum spiritu uestro, et facite legi colosensium uobis JustinCB (talk) 20:24, 26 October 2017 (UTC)
