Ten Commandments
All, I've gotten a request to translate the Ten Commandments into
Klingon. I'm sure people will have second opinions, and I don't want
to spend too much time on this, so can I offer this as a first stab?
Btw, this is from the King James
(http://www.therain.org/studies/tenkjv.html), which is not
particularly scrupulous of me; Mark, if you're tuned in, you might
want to correct this in the direction of the original.
Meta-comment: this is even more pastoralist than I remember it.
