I don't see anything wrong with it. The term ἁμαρτία, which is translated as "sin," originally came from a verb meaning when an archer aimed at a target and missed, ie "missed the mark". Also, there's absolutely nothing wrong with translating nouns that have grammatical genders with those genders.

"Pecado" doesn't mean "missed the mark". If she wanted to write it like that, she would have done so. The etymology is irrelevant. Fuck off.

Those translations are all wrong.

>"grave error" for "mortal sin"

My God, that's horrible. Absolutely horrible. It's bizarre. Seems like he's translating from "falta grave" (actually more of a legal term, and quite prosaic) instead of "pecado mortal" (deeply metaphysical term).

I highly recommend you read the essay "The Task of the Translator" by Walter Benjamin. Here, I'll even supply a link to a pdf:
http://www.totuusradio.fi/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2010/09/Benjamin-The-Task-of-the-Translator.pdf

Good translation, for Benjamin (and I am apt to agree), is not a literal word-for-word translation. Ideas that are expressed in literature, especially confessional/devotional literature like Teresa & St. John of the Cross, should be expressed through the spirit of the language rather than the law of the words used. Teresa was a woman who emphasized Yeshua's grace, love, and compassion, so the employment of softer, contemporary language does capture the spirit of her message. If you're inclined to disagree, I'm willing to hear you out.

>> No.15844783

>>15844751
>"Pecado" doesn't mean "missed the mark"
The gospels weren't written in Spanish, though. She's drawing on a translation of a translation (Greek > Latin > Spanish) herself. Again, the spirit of the message and its context within the tradition of Christianity matters more than the literal words used.

>>15844760
That's fair enough. I'm supportive of most of her decisions in that paragraph, but the change from Lord to Beloved is quite odd and definitely unreasonable.

Imagine translating such a powerful, enduring and deeply evocative expression as "Santísima Trinidad" as "three divine Persons".

Anglos have some very serious problems.

>>15844769
That translator's language has no spirit. It's shit and you know it. And it's not "contemporary language". Nobody says "las tres personas divinas". It's Santísima Trinidad.

And I attribute no relevance whatsoever to Benjamin's (recycled and cliche) opinion.

No, and I won't. I am judging based on the decisions expressed in that page. He destroyed all the force of the original Spanish.
That sounds more like an adaptation than a translation. It's irresponsible to call that a translation. At least Pound had the decency to call his book "Hommage to Sextus Propertius", but not everyone has this decency.

And yes, Benjamin's view has been expressed by countless translators in the past. Maybe you don't know it, but that's OK.

Well I'm assuming that this is a preface to the translation, explaining the chosen actions. So the reader will go into the text actually knowing these changes (ie, if a reader chooses he can read "Holy Trinity" whenever he reads "three divine Persons").

Well all that I'm saying is that the translator isn't trying to "pull a fast one" on the reader or change the message of a writer by changing the terminology. Alerting the reader to an interpretive change of terminology is one of the best things a translator can do, as I see it.
