Transmutatio / The Metamorphosis: Tranzlaty Latin English [Latin]

By Franz Kafka

Lumen tram electrici passim in laquearia et in supel- riore supellectili iacebat

The light of the electric tram lay pale here and there on the ceiling and on the higher parts of the furniture

sed descendens in gradu Gregor obscurus erat

but down at Gregor's level it was dark

Sensim se ad ianuam impulit ut videre quid ibi factum esset

He slowly pushed himself towards the door to see what had happened there

informes adhuc cum adfectibus suis, quos modo bene cognoscere

he was still clumsy with his feelers, which he only now learned to appreciate

Laevum latus unum longum habere videbatur, cicatricem ingrate pressam

His left side seemed to have one long, unpleasantly tight scar

et debebat ad litteram duos ordines pedum claudicare

and he had to literally limp on his two rows of legs

Obiter unum crurum graviter laesum in incidentibus matutinis

Incidentally, one of the legs had been seriously injured during the morning's incidents

Fere miraculum fuit quod unus de cruribus eius vulneratus est

it was almost a miracle that only one of his legs was injured

et traxit crus exanime

and he dragged his leg lifelessly

Solus cum ad ianuam pervenisset, sciebat quid eum illuc deduxisset

Only when he reached the door did he realize what had actually lured him there

odor esculentorum qui se induxerant ibi

it was the smell of something edible that had lured him there
