Translation help

Postby jdelacruz084206 » March 29th, 2011 7:55 am

Hello I am having trouble translation this: 神に背いて人が得たものは、 Can someone tell me what it means? I tried different websites to see if I could get something correct but I get different meanings. Thanks

Well, it's only a partial sentence, and means something like 'What people have gained from disobeying God is...'

yeah I figured it was only partial but it doesn't have the rest.

I'm going to post in this thread because I also need some help with translation, but this is the other way around. How would I say this in Japanese:

"All my life ( 人生) I (ぼく) have tried to become like others (余人 )
To lilve (生きる ) like society (交際場裏) wants me to live (生きる )
But a life ( 人生 ) like that is meaningless (実もない)
Don't enter that train (電車)''

As you can see I know some words (I needed a dictionary for the kanji ;)), but I'm not good enough at Japanese to make correct sentences with it. I need the translation for a lyric/poem I'm writing. Keep in mind that the tone is supposed te be bitter, a bit angsty. I hope someone can help me.

I am not good with translations but I will help you with what I do know..please anyone feel free to correct me.

subete jibun no jinsei ni betsu no hito ni natte mita.
shakai no hoshii risouteki na jinsei you ni ikiru.
demo sonna jinsei wa imi ga nai.
sono densha ni hairinaide.


It is not completely accurate but hopefully it helps you somewhat.
