For the past couple months, I've been working on a translation of the Bible. The purpose is to be able to read in the original languages without knowing Hebrew/Greek.
The project is hosted on Gitlab, but is accessible at:
http://transliteralbible.com
So far, I've completed the gospel of John.
I welcome any comments or even help on translation work.

I'm questioning what the purpose of this is. For example, in John 1, you have the following line
"And the ph�s shineth in skotia; and the skotia comprehended it not."
I have no idea what that means. I can click the Greek words, and get the translation of the word, but then this would mean for the average reader like me who doesn't know Greek or Hebrew, we'd what...? Have to click each and every word?
"And the ph�s shineth in skotia; and the skotia comprehended it not."

Yes, initially you'd have to click on the word to know what it means. But, after a while, you start to learn the Greek words. Some Greek words are easy to recognize since they can be tied to current English words. For example, ph�s means light, which we get our word phosphorous from.
