Dagur 350:

Negotium perambulans in tenebris - Latína, þýðir "Viðurstyggðin sem gengur um í myrkrinu".

Þá vitið þið það. Þetta er upphaflega í biblíunni, 91 sálminum. Eða eins og E.F.Benson orðaði það: "it was the Thing, the Creature, the Business that trafficked in the outer Darkness, a minister of God's wrath on the unrighteous ..." (E.F.Benson -Negotium Perambulans - linkur hér til hliðar ef einhver hefur áhuga - þó ég hafi ástæðu til að ætla að slíkur sé ekki fyrir hendi.)

Og hér er sálmurinn í heild sinni... á ensku, því slík er illska íslendinga að þýða ekki hina helgu bók og skella henni á netið, þó ekki væri nema bara fyrir mig.

Psalm 91
1 He who dwells in the shelter of the Most High

will rest in the shadow of the Almighty. [m]
2 I will say [n] of the LORD , "He is my refuge and my fortress,
my God, in whom I trust."

3 Surely he will save you from the fowler's snare
and from the deadly pestilence.
4 He will cover you with his feathers,
and under his wings you will find refuge;
his faithfulness will be your shield and rampart.
5 You will not fear the terror of night,
nor the arrow that flies by day,
6 nor the pestilence that stalks in the darkness,
nor the plague that destroys at midday.
7 A thousand may fall at your side,
ten thousand at your right hand,
but it will not come near you.
8 You will only observe with your eyes
and see the punishment of the wicked.

9 If you make the Most High your dwelling-
even the LORD , who is my refuge-
10 then no harm will befall you,
no disaster will come near your tent.
11 For he will command his angels concerning you
to guard you in all your ways;
12 they will lift you up in their hands,
so that you will not strike your foot against a stone.
13 You will tread upon the lion and the cobra;
you will trample the great lion and the serpent.

14 "Because he loves me," says the LORD , "I will rescue him;
I will protect him, for he acknowledges my name.
15 He will call upon me, and I will answer him;
I will be with him in trouble,
I will deliver him and honor him.
16 With long life will I satisfy him
and show him my salvation."

Fræðandi, það er ég.
