English to Polish: Pope Appeals for Peace in Middle East, Africa
Source text - English Pope Benedict XVI delivered his traditional Christmas Day message with an impassioned appeal for peace in the Middle East and Africa.
The huge crowd in Saint Peter's square cheered as the bands played the Vatican and Italian anthems. Pope Benedict appeared at the balcony of Saint Peter's Basilica to deliver his traditional "Urbi et Orbi" message.
Pope Benedict addressed the faithful and issued a strong appeal for peace in the Middle East and in Africa.
"May the divine light of Bethlehem radiate throughout the Holy Land where the horizon seems once again bleak for Israelis and Palestinians," the pope said.
The pope mentioned Lebanon and Iraq in particular calling for an end to the clashes and violence. He also called for peace in Zimbabwe, Congo, Darfur and Somalia.

I am originally from Poland. I speak, read and write fluently in Polish and English. For more than twenty years I worked in the U.S. as a Polish language journalist, broadcaster and editor.I spent four years as a Polish language and culture lecturer, as well, at an institution of higher learning. All those jobs relied heavily on translation from Polish to English and vice versa, thus I am fully bilingual. The job of a lecturer involved classroom instruction and language immersion trips to Poland with American students holding important positions in American foreign diplomacy. I am also a certified Polish language tester. Translating is one of my favorite activities and the proper use of both languages is an object of my great devotion.
