Re: _Seven Last Words of Christ_

Here it is in Ayhan. This would be a strange passage to the Saalangal.



The Saalangal version and translation, followed by a breakdown:

1. Sindaká, hasemangyara tensa ku kang, taana inu jumosara ika
wangkane abarasara ika.
2. Nasay, haalingyaay kria siga ting seu mayuhaw
3. Saban, hamakotraak kria ku kriang ura bansan
4. Ating ura sindaká, ating ura sindaká, ane haligansara kria ku ting?
5. Ikudsara ati.
6. Setsusaan san.
7. Sindaká, sinokyara ati seu kriang ura nga mura ating ura kuyan .

Translation:


1. Father, pardon them, because they do not know what they do.
2. Today, you will live with me in heaven (or: sky place)
3. Woman, see your son.
4. My lord, my lord, why do you abandon me?
5. I thirst.
6. This finished.
7. Lord, I place in your hands my spirit

Sindaká, sinokyara ati seu kriang ura nga mura ating ura kuyan .

Lord, place.act-anim-nat.pres I in your plural hand  my link spirit

Lord, I place in your hands my spirit.

Notes:

1. Ayhan has no perfective form of the verb, which is why you see "why
do you abandon me?" and "this finished".  As such, they use various
"plain tenses" instead.
2.  "Sindaká" is one of the status level markers, used to address
those of high esteem (gods, high chiefs, etc)
3. Ayhan prefers not to place the subject and object together. So,
prepositions are used to indicated the "motion" of the verb, as in
number 3.
4. Ayhan also has no word for "it", so "this" is frequently used
