In Jesus's name we go to the table. Eat and drink on your word. Explanation: This is a literal translation. The second sentence is a little puzzling. "Eat and drink according to your word," perhaps? |

peer agreement (net): +1In the name of Jesus we sit down at the table. We eat and drink in accordance to your Word. Explanation: In Norwegian we "go to the table". In English we usually don't "go" but just sit down. "På ditt ord" When Jesus told the leaper to go to the high priest while he still was ill, he believed and went "according to Jesus' Words". |

In Jesus' name, we go to table. Eat and drink, by your word. Explanation: til bords is more like "to table" "to the table" would be til bordet. Jesus' is the proper spelling, not Jesus's. E.g. to quote a reliable source: "...Other exceptions to the 's rule are names from the classics and names that end in an "iz" sound, both of which traditionally take a plain apostrophe: Moses', Venus', Socrates'. ... " (see link below: sharpwriter.com ) PŒ ditt ord literally means "on your word," but "by" seems to me to be most fitting considering we in the US say "by his name we all are fed," and since a quick internet search for links containing e.g. "by his word" will result in countless Christian website hits, like info on the "By His Word Christian Center"..give it a try -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2002-02-11 20:12:26 (GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Had a problem with special characters on my keyboard, with \"På ditt ord\" (I\'m hoping it will come across correctly this time, with the a with a ring, the 29th letter in the Norwegian alphabet and an abbreviation for the old-fashioned form which was simply a double-a, as in paa or gaa) Reference: http://www.sharpwriter.com/aaacontent/apostrophe.htm |
