olin pakala is interesting here. I think the translation does the trick, but maybe a touch of poetry could be added.WasoPimeja
olin li awen. olin pakala li awen mute.
Maybe kama suli is abusive but olin utala seems the right way to translate jealousy.janTepanNetaPelin
olin pona li kama suli. olin utala li awen lili.
Unfortunately the translation is a bit off, I understand wile as desire so we don't have the jealousy part.jan Jojanese
wile li suli. olin li lili.

To conclude, janTepanNetaPelin won his second point with this challenge! The next one is:Whoever does not fear death therefore fears life.. — Diane

When I read the translation for the first time I thought it was perfect but it is in fact subtly false.jan Jojanese
sina pilin ike ala tawa moli la, sina pilin ike tawa lon.
The second proposal is less close to the quotation and for once I will take into account the first one.janTepanNetaPelin
sina pilin ike ala tan moli, la sina pilin ike tan lon. (jan li pilin ike tan moli anu lon.)
