Ongoing translation project by Chaered, first posted on VL. Not reviewed yet. English text 3593 words, Quenya 2823, Danish original 3358.
I started out with a different English translation, but looking at the Danish original it seemed a very free translation. The one below by M.R. James from 1930 seems to stick much closer to the original. The Quenya translation sometimes follows the Danish original more closely than the English translation given here.
