Okay, rule number 1: if you want accurate translations, never use the PTS editions of the 4 nikayas. Some of their translations of other texts are good, but these are not.
There are accurate and fairly literal translations on SC by myself and Bhikkhu Bodhi.
If you want useful answers, I would encourage you to narrow the scope of the question. Which specific phrases or terms are you seeking clarification on? To clarify a whole sutta, or even a passage, requires a substantial essay. So start small and we’ll see where we go from there.
