coi rodo,

As part of my effort to learn Lojban, I have been trying to translate the
"Helpful Tip" given on http://www.villainsupply.com/miscevil.html. Here is
what I have made of the first sentence:

	.i le seljdadji cu xusra du'u le nu palci cu makfa nunbai .ije ri
	gunka le zu'o ri fapro le cevni kei le za'i le prenu na curve

What it should mean:

	Theologians define Evil as a supernatural force vying against God to
	corrupt mankind.

Are there any mistakes in my translation, and/or any areas in which the
phrasing can be improved?

Thanks,
--
