Jeg vil meget gene have tips til at få denne oversættelse korrekt. På forhånd tak!
Den sørgelige nyhed bredte sig hurtigt i lejren, og ved daggry holdt de møde for at drøfte hvad der skulle gøres.
For det første blev de enige om, at de ville bære Livingstones lig og alle hans personlige ejendele den lange vej tilbage til Zanzibar. For det andet blev Susi og Chuma valgt til ledere, ikke blot fordide havde været Livingstones venner, men også af praktiske grunde, idet ingen af de andre havde tilstrækkeligt kendskab til de egne de skulle igennem på rejsen.
Intet kunne klarere have bevist deres trofasthed end den første af disse beslutninger. Planen syntes næsten håbløs. De kunne ikke undgå at møde stammer som var mistænksomme over for dem, for ikke at sige fjendtlige. Overalt ville de møde overtroisk frygt for den døde hvide mand. Desuden var de bange for at Chtiambo ville forlange en stor sum penge af dem for tilladelse til, at fjerne liget. De besluttede derfor at foregive, at deres herre stadig var i live.
Da Chtiambo fik sandheden at vide, viste han dem imidlertid kun venlighed og forståelse. ”Hvorfor fartalte I mig det ikke straks?” sagde han. ”Jeg har jo hele tiden vidst, at I ikke kom til vort land som fjender”. Han forsøgte først at få dem til at begrave Livingstone i landsbyen; men da han forstod at de ikke kunne overtales tillod han dem at blive der endnu nogle dage og tilbød dem endog hjælp til at gøre liget i stand til rejsen.
The sad new quickly spread in the camp and at dawn they held a meeting to discuss what should be done.
First they agreed that they would carry the body of Livingstone all of his personal effects the long way back to Zanzibar. Secondly Susi and Chuma were chosen as leaders not just because they had been friends of Livingstone but also because of practically reasons since no one ells had sufficient knowledge of the areas which they should cross on the journey.
Nothing could more clearly have proved their faithfulness than the first one of their decisions. The plan almost seemed hopeless. They could not avoid meeting tribes who were suspicious to them not to say hostile. Everywhere they would meet superstitious fear to the dead white man. In addition they were scared that Chtiambo would demand a great amount of money from them to permission to remove the body. Therefore they decided to pretend that their master still was alive.
When Chtiambo got to know the truth he showed them however just kindness and understand ness. “Why didn’t you tell me at the beginning?” he said. “All the time I have known that you didn’t come to our country as enemies” First he tried to get the to burry Livingstone in the village; but as he understood that they could not be persuaded he allowed them to stay for some days yet and even offered them help to make the body ready for the journey.

The sad NEWS(er altid flertal med s på) quickly spread in the camp and at dawn they held a meeting to discuss what should be done.
First they agreed that they would carry the body of Livingstone AND all of his personal effects the long way back to Zanzibar. Secondly Susi and Chuma were chosen as leaders not just because they had been friends of LIVINGSTONE'S(der skal ejefalds S på selvom det er en OF-genitiv) but also because of practically reasons since no one ELSE(stavefejl) had sufficient knowledge of the areas which they should/WOULD cross on the journey.
Nothing could have proved their faithfulness MORE CLEARLY than the first of their/THESE decisions. The plan almost seemed hopeless. They could not avoid meeting tribes who were suspicious OF(forkert præposition) them, not to say hostile. Everywhere they would meet superstitious fear OF(forkert præposition) the dead white man. In addition they were scared that Chtiambo would demand a great amount of money from them FOR(forkert præposition) permission to remove the body. Therefore they decided to pretend that their master was STILL alive.
HOWEVER, When Chtiambo got to know/FOUND OUT the truth he showed them NOTHING BUT kindness and UNDERSTANDING(understandness er ikke et ord). “Why didn’t you tell me at the beginning/FROM THE START?” he said. “All the time I have known that you didn’t come to our country as enemies” First he tried to get THEM to burry Livingstone in the village; but as he understood that they could not be persuaded he allowed them to stay for yet ANOTHER COUPLE OF days and even offered them help to make the body ready for the journey.
Det ser rigtig godt ud, bare et par præpositionsfejl og andre småfejl...
Det er ikke noget at snakke om;O)
