IV. “Sirinu nuqa rikuni a” (native Quechua)

Sirinu nuqa rikuni a.

Yes, I saw the siren. Ajina parapi chuqurkuspa. Just like that, as I was sitting in the rain Ajina punuyta chuturqurikasqani. as though day-dreaming. Chaymanta wuuu… wu… miiii. And then: wuuu… wu… miii… Waynu junt’ arkurimushasqa, chay mirkata. it came, completely filling the hollow. Libristuta! Honestly!

Challtikujina rikuq kani,

As an indefinite color I saw them, challku kay kinray kay, on that slope, an indeterminate color. kinray challkujina.

Chay Lurin arqinan, chaypi,

There by Lorenzo’s llama in a cave I sat, kuywapi parapi chukusaq kani, while it was raining, chaypi jinapi punuyta chutushasqani, as though carried off by sleep, punuta chutushaqtirqa wuu … wu … aaaata, day-dreaming … wuu … wu … aaaata, pinkillus “uj.” the pinkillu flutes sounded ‘uj.’

Chay mirkamantaq sunarqamun kampaq,

From that hollow it sounded karnawalqa. during Carnival.

V. from The Book of Matthew

The Calling of the First Disciples (Matthew 18)

Jesus was walking beside the Sea of Galilee. He saw two brothers, Simon (called Peter) and his brother Andrew. They were casting a net into the sea, for they were fishermen.

"Come, follow me," Jesus said, "and I will make you fishers of men."

At once they left their nets and followed him. (Matthew 13:47)

The kingdom of heaven is like a net, which was put into the sea and took in every sort of fish.

VI. from The Odyssey (Book XII) (Homer)

Οδυσεν…

Odysseus… Otisef…

Bring in your ship, listen to our voices. Nia katastison, ina noiterin opakousis.

For we know that on the plain of Troy Ithmen gar ti panthos eni Trii evrii

Argives & Trojans suffered at gods’ behest. Argii Troes te theon iotiti mogisan.

We know whatever may befall Ithmen th’osa genite

upon the bounteous Earth. epithoni poulivotiri.

,

, Come, Odysseus, whom all praise, Thevr’ayion polien Otisef,

great glory of the Achaians! mega kithos Aheon.
