| O trabalho de seu espírito (his/its) soul's purpose Explanation: or "the purpose of his/its soul" or "the soul's purpose". There are probably a number of ways to render this in English. This is just one suggestion. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2005-04-10 19:38:29 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- On further thought, it could even be more loosely translated as ... \"his life\'s purpose\", (had been made; it was day)...etc. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2005-04-10 19:39:53 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Or, \"his life\'s work\"...I would play around with it to put it in the same tone/diction style as the rest of the text. |
