Some time ago, when I started translating the Gospel of Matthew, I didn't know how to punctuate quotations. So, now that I think I know, I decided before proceeding with the fourth chapter, to repost the first three chapters, with the quotations punctuated. I decided to punctuate quotations by using >>> quotation <<<, because I like >>> quotation <<< more than <<< quotation >>>. And I decided to use triple angled brackets, because in a long passage they stand out more than single ones. However.. There are parts, where within a quotation there are other quotations, e.g, when a parable is spoken, and inside that parable there are dialogues. I decided that for there, I will use single angle brackets i.e. > quotation <. Anyways, I've decided all the above, and bIQ'a'Daq 'etlh vIvo'pu'. jIwuq rIntaH. And after all this klingon crap, here is the first chapter.. 'ay' wa'. 1 *jesus christ* *david* puqloD; *david* *abraham* puqloD. *jesus christ* no' paq. 2 *isaac* boghmoH *abraham*, *jacob* boghmoH *isaac*, *judah* loDnI'pu'Daj je boghmoH *jacob*, 3 *perez*, *zerah* (*tamar* ngan) je boghmoH *judah*, *hezron* boghmoH *perez*, *ram* boghmoH *hezron*, 4 *amminadab* boghmoH *ram*, *nahshon* boghmoH *amminadab*, *salmon* boghmoH *nahshon*, 5 *boaz* (*rahab* ngan) boghmoH *salmon*, *obed* (*ruth* ngan) boghmoH *boaz*, *jesse* boghmoH *obed*, 6 *david* ta' boghmoH *jesse*. *solomon* luboghmoH *david* ta' *uriah* be'nal je, 7 *rehoboam* boghmoH *solomon*, *abijah* boghmoH *rehoboam*, *asa* boghmoH *abijah*, 8 *jehoshaphat* boghmoH *asa*, *joram* boghmoH *jehoshaphat*, *uzziah* boghmoH *joram*, 9 *jotham* boghmoH *uzziah*, *ahaz* boghmoH *jotham*, *hezekiah* boghmoH *ahaz*, 10 *manasseh* boghmoH *hezekiah*, *amon* boghmoH *manasseh*, *josiah* boghmoH *amon*, 11 *babylon* luDabtaHvIS *jew* (pa' chaH lughImlu'ta'mo') *jechoniah* loDnI'pu'Daj je boghmoH *josiah*. 12 *babylon*vo' cheghpu'DI' *jew*pu', *shealtiel* boghmoH *jechoniah*, *zerubbabel* boghmoH *shealtiel*, 13 *abiud* boghmoH *zerubbabel*, *eliakim* boghmoH *abiud*, *azor* boghmoH *eliakim*, 14 *sadoc* boghmoH *azor*, *achim* boghmoH *sadoc*, *eliud* boghmoH *achim*, 15 *eleazar* boghmoH *eliud*, *matthan* boghmoH *eleazar*, *jacob* boghmoH *matthan*, 16 *joseph* (*mary* loDnal) boghmoH *jacob*, yatlhtaHvIS *mary* *jesus* qeng; *jesus*vaD *christ* ponglu'. 17 bogh *abraham*, ghIq qaS wa'maH loS puq poH; qaStaHvIS puq poH wa'maH loSDIch, bogh *david*. bogh *david*, ghIq qaS wa'maH loS puq poH; qaStaHvIS puq poH wa'maH loSDIch, *babylon*Daq *jew* lughImlu'. *babylon*Daq *jew* lughImlu', ghIq qaS wa'maH loS puq poH; qaStaHvIS puq poH wa'maH loSDIch, bogh *jesus*. 18 chay' bogh *jesus christ* ? *joseph* nayta'DI' *jesus christ* SoS (*mary*), 'ej juH qach rap luDabchoHpa', *mary* yatlhchoHmoH Qun qa' quvqu'. 19 pung ghajmo' *joseph* (*mary* loDnal), *mary* nuS neHbe'. vaj Qub: >>> *mary* vImejmoH, 'ej pegh wanI'vam; Sov pagh. <<< 20 nabvam nabtaH; 'a najtaHvIS, ghaHDaq nargh joH'a' *angel* 'ej jatlh:
