Hoping for help with translation

[krathbloodlust]

I have read a few posts and I have seen that many of you are helpful to people who can not read, speak, or write Chinese. Well, I was hoping you could help a confused soul, if not then it is okay. I have recently recieved a gift from a friend in Beijing, I was hoping for a kind person to translate it into English.

-thanks-

我在這裡,請差遣我

Literally: I am here, please dispatch me.

Here I am; send me.

It's from Isaiah 6:8

That's nice calligraphy. With bonus points for being legible.

Here I am; send me.

It's from Isaiah 6:8

Indeed, in the Chinese version of Bible, ' Here I am; send me.(Isaiah 6:8 )is tranlated as "我在这里,请差遣我".

But, i wonder whether we have to comprehend it in this way. maybe, your friend means 'here i am, let me know and i will give you a hand when necessarily'.

Literally it means that "I am here, dispatch me".

"I am right here, ask me for help if necessary"

It is a cordial supply from a good friend.

派遣 is a better translation of dispatch

差遣 is more like "use me".

[guyang78]

againstwind has the correct translation. Well, the others are just translating literally.

[Supervin]

I think 'send' would suffice for 差遣, as 'dispatch' would sound rather technical.

The phrase in meaning is like 'I am here for you when you need me'.

"I am always by your side",that would be the true meaning of it.
