Re: [lojban] Translating the Bible

[Sebastian <so.cool.ogi@gmail.com>]

Hi,
translating the Bible would be awesome. I don't have much time though, but I might be able to help a little here and there, commenting stuff.
What degree of ambitions are we talking about here? It took a group of professional linguistics, biblical experts and representatives of various religious organizations around 20 years to complete a translation of the Bible into Swedish (Bible 2000-version). 
So what's the ambition and competence in this project. Does anyone have at least basic knowledge of Biblical Hebrew and of the Biblical Contexts?
I'm interested and have studied some Religion at the university here in Sweden, but I don't have knowledge about Biblical Hebrew.
/seb

PS. Just read today that the Swedish translation of the Biblical expression 'they who urinate on the wall' is just 'every man';)
