Synopsis
The Original Medieval Bible Translated Semi-Literally from Old Latin into English. The Codex Amiatinus manuscript of the Latin Vulgate is said to be the finest preserved manuscript of the Christian Bible. Produced circa 700 in the north-east of England, at the Benedictine abbey of Monkwearmouth-Jarrow in the Anglo-Saxon Kingdom of Northumbria, (now South Tyneside,) and sent to Pope Gregory II as a gift in 716.
Literalized, Isaiah 14:12:
In what manner; fall you; from; sky; Lucifer (the sun/morning star); that which; early in the morning/sunrise; rose? Fall down; into; the Earth; that, which, why, how; injure, abandon, alienate, infringe; the people, the nations, the country.
Which can be paraphrased into a question:
“How do you fall from the sky, Lucifer, who rose in the morning? (The Sun) Why do you fall into the Earth and turn away from us?”
The declinations used tells us it was more poetic, thus:
“how did you fall from heaven (the sky/space), Lucifer (the Sun,) when you arose in the morning? Do you wound the nations when you fall into the earth?”
This version was translated by a trained neural network. This includes grammatical errors. Words which have an alternative meaning are placed into parentheses or divided by a slash. Pharaoh was never what the King of Egypt was called; Pharaoh was the Royal Palace. There are declinations that cause Pharaoh to refer to the King. Thus, those words will appear as (Pharaoh/Palace) so that you may decide the best context. There are words which have very different meaning depending on declination, thus you will see those as well, plus as a few literalized translations from their original meaning; words such as Philistine1 has their definition appended in parentheses (free-thinker.)
This manuscript contains 900,000 words in total, and a few hundred Latin words either did not translate, were reconstructed, or were substituted to the closest possible definition. The verse numbers may not line up with your manuscript. The Amiatinus is the oldest (best preserved) manuscript. While beneficial to consult the Hebrew and Greek texts for investigative purposes; it is counter-intuitive for a believer to consider the Hebrew or Greek text as the truth if that is not their religion which they consider to be false.
1 [phil-, to love; tinus, to break away from, to branch independently, non-conforming; -stine/stin/sto, stand at/follow, remain, I am) / love to defy, in short: a free thinker against then: Roman Conformity.]
