"Wir sehnen uns nach Offenbarung,
Die nirgends würd'ger und schöner brennt
Als in dem Neuen Testament.
Mich drängt's, den Grundtext aufzuschlagen,
Mit redlichem Gefühl einmal
Das heilige Original
In mein geliebtes Deutsch zu übertragen,
Geschrieben steht: »Im Anfang war das Wort!«
Hier stock ich schon! Wer hilft mir weiter fort?
Ich kann das Wort so hoch unmöglich schätzen,
Ich muß es anders übersetzen,
Wenn ich vom Geiste recht erleuchtet bin.
Geschrieben steht: Im Anfang war der Sinn.
Bedenke wohl die erste Zeile,
Daß deine Feder sich nicht übereile!
Ist es der Sinn, der alles wirkt und schafft?
Es sollte stehn: Im Anfang war die Kraft!
Doch, auch indem ich dieses niederschreibe,
Schon warnt mich was, daß ich dabei nicht bleibe.
Mir hilft der Geist! Auf einmal seh ich Rat
Und schreibe getrost: Im Anfang war die Tat!."

"One yearns for highest revelation,
which nowhere burns dignifiedly violent
than here in the New Testament
I feel impelled to read this basic text
and to transpose the hallowed words
with feeling and integrity
into me beloved German.
It is written: “In the beginning was the word” [annotation: original Greek: “ho logos”]
Even now I balk. Can no one help?
I truly cannot rate the word so high.
I must translate it otherwise.
I believe the sprit has inspired me
and I must write : “In the beginning was the Meaning”
Think thoroughly on the first line,
hold back you r pen from undue haste!
Is it the mind that stirs and makes all things?
The text should state: “In the beginning was the Force!”
Yet while I am about to write this down,
something warns me I will not adhere to this.
The sprit is on my side! The answer is at hand:
I write, assured, “In the beginning was the Deed”.)

And that, of course, is also a bad translation for the Greek "ho logos" in this context. For the correct meaning in this context of "ho logos" see Wikipedia, Heraklit.
