Is this correct???

To Spanish/English speakers or translators:

I hope you can help me with this. I need to translate the following text from Spanish to English:

"Dios dot� al hombre de sabidur�a para que hiciera uso correcto de Su creaci�n. Compromet�monos en la formacion de generaciones celosas de su preservacion."

I would like to know if this translation is correct or if u can help me to improve it:

"God gave man the wisdom to make right use of creation. Lets train a new generation able to preserve God �s creation."

Thanks in advance.

Hi!!!

I �m a Spanish speaker and I �ll try to help you...

First thing, I don �t correct your version because for me translation is not always objective, so this is my version:

"GOD GAVE MAN WISDOM SO AS TO USE HIS OWN CREATION PROPERLY. LET �S UNDERTAKE THE TASK OF FORMING FUTURE GENERATIONS TO PRESERVE GOD �S GIFT".

I used GIFT not to repeat CREATION again, at the end, God �s creation is a gift...

Anyway, I hope it can help you...

I don �t know if it is perfect but it is what I would say or translate into English.

Bye and have a nice Sunday!

Cori =)
