I beg to differ!
The Klingon bible is translated from AN english version (a rather well
known I believe), which is a translation of the original Greek (I
hope). You Finnish bible is also a translation of the original Greek
texts. However while translating you change a lot of the grammer
constructions because they do not 'work' in the target language.
So, if the translator is good, the translated bible will not be a word
for word translation and thus comparison of the two will be very
difficult!
