In God We Trust
Posted by IareChaz on August 28, 2022 at 9:40 amI’m seeking a “perfect translation” for this phrase:
In God We Trust.

There won’t be a “perfect translation” of that phrase because Klingon doesn’t have a word that represents the Christian diety. The best we can do is something like:
Qunmaj wIvoq – We trust our diety
There’s other varieties of this kind of phrase, but Qun just refers to the concept of a god and not any specific god. Some people use Qun’a’ to refer to a monotheistic diety, but that could be any of the ones that exist in monotheistic religions across the universe.
We live in a VERY cool Universe, where I can wake up on Sunday morn, reach out across the series of tubes, and find a Klingon expert.
Words cannot accurately described my belly full of joy and laughter.
Many thanks.
