You cannot expect to get a respectable translation if you don't provide context and an explanation of the background of the text you are translating.

Context: the parts of a discourse that surround a word or passage and can throw light on its meaning.

Translation must take into account constraints that include context, the rules of grammar of the two languages, their writing conventions, and their idioms. A common misconception is that there exists a simple word-for-word correspondence between any two languages, and that translation is a straightforward mechanical process; such a word-for-word translation, however, cannot take into account context, grammar, conventions, and idioms.
