Ancient Translation

There was this guy who wanted to become a monk and copy the ancient scriptures of the bible. So he became a monk and went to the monastery to see if he could get the job.

He got the job and the priest gave him scriptures to copy. He found out that he was copying from a copy and asked why he couldn't copy from the originals because somebody could have made a mistake while copying.

The priest replied, "Because the originals are too valuable." So the monk asked if he could at least see the originals and the priest agreed to just let him see them.

The priest took the monk down to the vaults where all of the original scriptures were, showed them to the monk, and left him to his silence. The priest was waiting by the door for about an hour and finally decided to go check on the monk.

When he got down to the vaults he saw that the monk was banging his head against the wall and asked what was wrong.

The monk replied, "It said celebrate!"
