  • I don’t get these translations. We don’t use some of those words anymore. The only reason “doth” etc are used is to make it sounds old and more mysterious. It’s a fucking translation though. Translate it using words in modern English. “Doth” went away with “thou” when it was replaced with singular “you.” When “you” was plural, fine, but that hasn’t been the case for centuries. The original author didn’t write it that way. It’s purely the choice of the translator.

    (Potentially this is an old translation from back when those words were in use. It doesn’t make it more accurate still though, just less understandable and relatable.)
