Shu'shuk be Mirdala Darth Plagueis | The Tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise

This excerpt from ROTS needs no explanation. Here we go.

...

Gar vurel susulu shu'shuk be Mirdala Darth Plagueis?

You ever hear the tragedy of Darth Plagueis the Wise?

Nayc.

No.

Ni nu'mirdi. Nu gehat'ik Jetiise du're'jorhaa'i gar. Be'bik Dar'jetii werlaara.

I thought not. It's not a story the Jedi would tell you. It's a Sith legend.

Darth Plagueis ru'cuyi Dha'alor be Dar'jetii'se, bid dralyc bal bid mirdala, kaysh ret'pirimmu Dral yustalir midichloriane gotal'ur... oyare.

Darth Plagueis was a Dark Lord of the Sith, so powerful and so wise, he could use the Force to influence the midichlorians to create... life.

Kaysh ru'gana bid'yc mirda be Dha'eso kaysh ret'vencuyani su cyare'se teh kyr'am.

He had such a knowledge of the Dark Side he could even keep the ones he cared about from dying.

Tion'gar vemanyc ret'tegaanali ade teh kyr'am?

You could actually save people from death?

Dral dha'eso goyust bah ori'sol borare ash'ade gyci amyc.

The Dark Side of the Force is a pathway to many abilities some consider to be unnatural.

Tion ru'bana bah kaysh?

What happened to him?

Drashaa bid dralyc, shi kebi ru'chaaba... gevin'gana dral, meg ven'gebi, mirutre'la, ru'nari. Nu'jatekara'la, ba'juri kaysh hibir anay'kebi ru'kar'tayli, ven hibir ru'kyr'amu o'r nuhoy.

He became so powerful, the only thing he was afraid of was... losing his power, which eventually, of course, he did. Unfortunately, he taught his apprentice everything he knew, then the apprentice killed him in his sleep.

Nuhun'la. Ret'tegaanali ash'ade teh kyr'am, a'ne kayst.

Ironic. He could save others from death, but not himself.

Tion'bik ret'yc ba'jurir ibik dral?

Is it possible to learn this power?

Nu teh Jetii.

Not from a Jedi.

du're'jorhaa'i - would tell

midichloriane - midichlorian

Dha'alor - Sith Lord (literally Dark-Lord)

Dha'eso - Dark Side

gevin'gana - to lose (literally to stop having)

nu'jatekara'la - unfortunately (literally un-lucky-like)
Ib'tuur jatne tuur ash'ad nuhoy'ur.
