World Order To undertake a journey on a road never before traveled requires character and courage: character because the choice is not obvious; courage because the road will be lonely at first. And the statesman must then inspire his people to persist in the endeavor. -- Önceden kullanılmaz yolda seyahat etmek cesaret ve cesurluk gereker: yolun belli olmadığı nedeniyle, cesaret; yolun ilk olarak yalnız olacağı nedeniyle, cesurluk.

World Order

To undertake a journey on a road never before traveled requires character and courage: character because the choice is not obvious; courage because the road will be lonely at first. And the statesman must then inspire his people to persist in the endeavor.

Önceden kullanılmaz Hiç yürülmemiş bir yolda seyahat etmek cesaret ve cesurluk karakter ve cesaret (1) gereker: gerektirir. Yolun belli olmadığı olmaması nedeniyle, cesaret; karakter, yolun yolda (2) ilk olarak başlarda (3) yalnız olacağı nedeniyle, cesurluk cesaret. Sonra da lider, halkını çabalamakta ısrar etmeye ikna etmek zorunda kalacak. çabalamakta ısrar etmesi için halkına ilham vermelidir. (4)

1) You can translate character as 'karakter' or 'kişilik', but not 'cesaret'. Cesaret means courage and cesurluk means 'braveness' (being brave). Cesurluk sounds like a bit made-up word, it's not used in Turkish unless for a specific context.

2) 'The road will be lonely' is not a sentence you can build up in Turkish, so I turned it into 'He will be lonely on the road' and translated accordingly. I could have said "The road will be deserted" by using "ıssız", but it didn't sound good to me in the context.

3) İlk olarak = Firstly (When you list some reasons or events)

İlk başta, Başlarda = At first (times), Initially

'İlk olarak' sounded a bit wrong there to me so I changed with a better one.

4) What you wrote there was "The leader will must persuade his people to persist in the endeavor". I changed "ısrar etmek" (persuade/insist) to "ilham vermek" (inspire). I also changed the tense from future to present but that was not much important.

Önceden kullanılmazmış bir  yolda seyahat etmek cesaret karakter(güçlü bir kişilik) ve cesurluk cesaret gerekir: yolun (choice=seçim) seçimin belli olmaması nedeniyle, cesaret; yolun ilk olarak yalnız olacağı nedeniyle ilkte ıssız olacağı için cesurluk cesaret.Sonra da lider, halkını çabalamakta ısrar etmeye ikna etmek zorunda kalacak.

cesaret=courage

karakter=character

If you say "yol yalnız olacak" it doesn't make sense. It is like the road is standing there by itself and there are no road beside it. :) Issız or tenha mean there are just a few people or none on the road.

It seems like a difficult paragraph to translate but you did a good job! :) 

Başarılar, kolay gelsin :)
