Some of You people are interested in the hieroglyphs in danmachi, specially the text inscribed on the hestia knife. Here some pictures and other things i found on internet that might be usefull.
Some fans in Japan succeeded in translating the hieroglyphs on the knife:
Side 1:
その身を形作るのは、真実の銀、ミスリルの輝き。真の光は、他の誰もが手にしたところで
その輝きを曇らせる。心せよ、刃を抜くことが出来るのは、汝が認め
汝と血を分けた使い手ただ一人
汝は女神ヘスティアの分身なり。闇を切り裂く炉の炎を宿し、主人の路を切り拓け。永遠の伴侶となって、主人を守れ
Side 2:
鍛冶の主ヘファイストスがオリンポスの盟友ヘスティアの武具を鍛える。ファルナが刻まれし汝もまた
我らが愛する神の眷属、神の刃。女神ヘスティアの名のもとに命ずる。同じ血を分けた眷属に
力を貸し与え、栄光を献げよ。汝の主の名、それはベル・クラネル。主の半身となり
共に笑い、共に怒り、共に泣き、共に傷つき、共に走り、共に苦難を乗り越え、共に育て。経験を糧とし、刃を研ぎ澄ませ。主と共に至高を目指せ。
The first three lines:
The truest of silver and brilliance of mithril, shapes thy body. The true light shall be clouded if touched by others. Take care, as only one who shares your blood, can draw this blade.
On the edge:
You are the Goddess Hestia’s double. The flame of hearth that splits the shadow, the one who cuts through the path of your master. You are to be the forever companion, protecting your master.
The four lines at the back side of the knife:
The master of blacksmithing, Hephaestus being an Olympic ally of Hestia, to smelt this weapon. Marked by the Faruna, God’s Blade, you are our beloved Familia. Commanded to be equal to the name of Hestia. Share your strength and give glory to the ones who share your blood. The name of your master, Bell Cranel. You become the other half of your master; may you smile together, rage together, cry together, hurt together, travel together, surpass hardships together, grow together. Excelia be your food, sharpen your edge, and reach new height together.
On Bell’s back:
You are the first Familia who shares my blood. Human, of banal birth. Strengthless vessel that holds the all pillars of possibilities. The prosperous race that receives numerous blessing. The pure-breed children that God shaped with their imagination. The undefined brilliance that allowed you to become anyone you wish.
