I have read the Bible (KJV) cover to cover, decided that most of the
New Testament was fairly dreary stuff written by pompous clerics, and
confined further ramblings to the first four chapters thereof (which
form the "reference text" from which the later chapters diverge
significantly).

I have not read the Bible in the original language, but my brother
learned Greek for that very purpose.  He relates similar interesting
examples of creative translation, none of which I can remember, alas.
