Here 'ya go. I don't rely much on online translators for articles, but one word at a time they do okay.

If you want to have some REAL fun, put an article into Bablefish, then plug the translation into it again and run it through a few different languages, then back into English. It comes out pretty hilarious.

It's not the same word for wormwood in the Ukrainian translation of Revelations, apparently:
8:11 А ймення зорі тій Полин. І стала третина води, як полин, і багато з людей повмирали з води, бо згіркла вона... 8:12 І засурмив Ангол четвертий, і вдарено третину сонця, і третину місяця, і третину зір, щоб затьмилася їхня третина, щоб третина дня не світила, так само ж і ніч...
I was going to look up a Slavonic Bible, but that would be even more ridiculous. Does Snopes.com pay for debunkings?
