2 Pedro 1:19

Tenemos también la palabra profética más segura, a la cual hacéis bien en estar atentos como a una antorcha que alumbra en lugar oscuro, hasta que el día amanezca y el lucero de la mañana salga en vuestros corazones.


2 Peter 1:19 (New International Version, ©2010)

19 We also have the prophetic message as something completely reliable, and you will do well to pay attention to it, as to a light shining in a dark place, until the day dawns and the morning star rises in your hearts.

Would it be "de la noche" for evening stars? por looks more like Sleeping under the stars at night is magical. - 0074b507, Dec 3, 2010
Yes, 'de la noche' is correct here. 'Por la noche' means at night. Also, there is a mismatch in gender between the subject and the attribute ('dormir', masculine, and 'mágica', feminine). - bill1111, Dec 3, 2010

It isn't a biggie, but even though 'solo' works as an adverb there, since there is no ambiguity it is wrong to put an accent on it. The safest best is to never put an accent on it, as now with the latest changes it is *never* incorrect to write 'solo'. - bill1111, Dec 3, 2010

'buenísimo' is the augmentative of 'bueno', or good. You need an adjective that means beautiful, like 'bonito'. - bill1111, Dec 3, 2010

This poem is quite long and I'm still working on translating it, but it is so beautiful I want to share it with everybody.

Este poema es bastante largo, y sigo trabajando en su traducción, pero es tan hermoso que quisiera compartirlo con todos.

'trabajando para traducirlo' is fine, but it's more idiomatic to say 'trabajando en su traducción' - bill1111, Dec 3, 2010

'Fijo' means just 'steady' or 'well attached', and unless you use it in a [removed]as in 'de ideas fijas') you can't use it for people. I guess I would use 'inamovible' here, if only to make it fit both 'star' and 'I'. - bill1111, Dec 3, 2010
