Because the Klingons shouldn't be the only nonhumans with a Bible

A bit of Tolkien oddness:

Átarema i ëa han ëa, na aire esselya,
aranielya na tuluva, na care indómelya cemende tambe Erumande.
Ámen anta síra ilaurëa massamma,
ar ámen apsene úcaremmar sív' emme apsenet tien i úcarer emmen.
Álame tulya úsahitenna mal áme etelehta ucullo.
Násie.


Aia María quanta Eruanno i Héru as elye,
aistana elye imíca n´si, ar aistana i yáve mónalyo Yésus.
Aire María Eruo ontaril á hyame r´men úcarindor s´ ar lúmesse ya firuvamme.
Násie.

Yes, the Lord's Prayer and the Hail Mary in Quenya, as translated by Professor Tolkien himself.

by the way, do you watch Lost? Did you watch it last night? A friend of mine who watches it missed it and is asking people what happened...

I don't watch TV. I work nights.
It's a slow night at the library, but I found that while hunting up a Middle English version for someone.
