Google Translate for the Win!


I read this on a Dutch blog with Google Translate. 

In English it is: 

Teach me to do your will, 
for you are my God!
Let your good Spirit 
lead me on level ground! 
-Psalm 143:10

In Dutch it is: Maak mij de weg bekend die ik te gaan heb, want tot U 
hef ik mijn ziel op. Laat Uw goede Geest mij leiden in een geëffend land. 

Google translates the Dutch into this:

Make me know the way I have to go, for to you I lift up my soul. 
Let your good Spirit lead me on a paved country. 
-Psalm 143:10

I like the wording "paved country" because it 
emphasizes intention. Level could just be that way, 
but paved means someone did it. 

It's a funny day when even Google blesses you!
