The Metamorphosis / Die Metamorfose: Tranzlaty English Afrikaans

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

Die lig van die elektriese trem l? hier en daar bleek op die plafon en op die ho?r dele van die meubels

but down at Gregor's level it was dark

maar onder op Gregor se vlak was dit donker

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

Hy stoot homself stadig na die deur toe om te sien wat daar gebeur het

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

hy was nog lomp met sy voelers, wat hy nou eers leer waardeer het

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

Sy linkersy het gelyk of hy een lang, onaangename stywe litteken het

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

en hy moes letterlik mank op sy twee rye bene

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

Terloops, een van die bene is tydens die oggend se voorvalle ernstig beseer

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

dit was amper 'n wonderwerk dat net een van sy bene beseer is

and he dragged his leg lifelessly

en hy het sy been leweloos gesleep

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

Eers toe hy by die deur kom, besef hy wat hom eintlik daarheen gelok het

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

dit was die reuk van iets eetbaars wat hom daarheen gelok het
