Um, I didn't. That is the translation. It just doesn't hold the same meaning.

Sounds like it's not very well translated. I would think that part of translating is conveying meaning to a modern audience. If people meant "water" when they used the word "fire", I would hope you would use "water" because it would be clearer to your audience. But then again I think the point of words is to communicate, not to pretend my words have more authority than they actually do.
