Acacius of Amida

I recently discovered the existence of a rather wonderful personage named Acacius of Amida. He lived one and a half millenia ago, and yet his actions resonate with me deeply.

Seeing the plight of 7,000 starving and poorly clothed Persian prisoners of war, he- the bishop of Amida- turned to his fellows and spoke-

(Original - Sandic - Gloss)

"Our God, my brethren, needs neither dishes nor cups; for He neither eats nor drinks, nor is in want of anything. Since then, by the liberality of its faithful members the Church possesses many vessels both of gold and silver, it behooves us to sell them, that by the money thus raised, we may be able to redeem the prisoners and also supply them with food."

"Yjae frn jwr aww, lëé ta kadan me, ân depabin wî giamjébin baneot ham; iné jwr aww baneot koe wî baneot dam, wî faé ba hamnia baneot ahl. Skra xammeadian jébi otora erin ta ialthkan depabin wî giamjébin oahl icin wî albain, ma gamiai batara ân otiab otawwtalé, ân dék op otawwma ta dîjjckanian ân ototahl uxniasain, wî ân dék op otawwtade damdabin ân otian ora."

"I speak of our God, o brothers, about the fact that it does not need plates and bowls; behold, our God does not drink or eat, and it lacks for nothing. Because so many plates and bowls of silver and gold have been given to our church by its members, it is gamia that we should sell them and use the money to cause the warriors to be freed, and that we should use the money to acquire food for them."

And thus he sold all of the gold and silver of the sacred relics of his church, and using the money fed and clothed 7,000 men who- to him, at least- were strangers.

New words:
giamjé, plate- ultimately from kéamjé, leaf.

Other words:
I ended up redefining alé and adding another meaning for ade for this text.

alé once meant "to buy", but now it means "to sell".

ade means "to take, to accept", and now also means "to buy, to acquire".

I've noticed a few of my words (frn, ba, ade, kaja) seem to be accumulating a lot of new meanings as time goes on. It's kind of fun, because now they're multi-purpose and unique. :)
