# abomination, abominable #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "abomination" is used to refer to something that causes disgust or extreme dislike.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Egyptians considered the Hebrew people to be an "abomination." This means that the Egyptians disliked the Hebrews and didn't want to associate with them or be near them.
|
||||
* Some of the things that the Bible calls "an abomination to Yahweh" include lying, pride, sacrificing humans, worship of idols, murder, and sexual sins such as adultery and homosexual acts.
|
||||
* In teaching his disciples about the end times, Jesus referred to a prophecy by the prophet Daniel about an "abomination of desolation" that would be set up as a rebellion against God, defiling his place of worship.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "abomination" could also be translated by "something God hates" or "something disgusting" or "disgusting practice" or "very evil action."
|
||||
* Depending on the context, ways to translate the phrase "is an abomination to" could include "is greatly hated by" or "is disgusting to" or "is totally unacceptable to" or "causes deep disgust."
|
||||
* The phrase "abomination of desolation" could be translated as "defiling object that causes people to be greatly harmed" or "disgusting thing that causes great sorrow."

# adultery, adulterous, adulterer, adulteress #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "adultery" refers to a sin that occurs when a married person has sexual relations with someone who is not that person's spouse. Both of them are qulity of adultery. The term "adulterous" describes this kind of behavior or any person who commits this sin.
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "adulterer" refers generally to any person who commits adultery.
|
||||
* Sometimes the term "adulteress" is used to specify that it was a woman who committed adultery.
|
||||
* Adultery breaks the promises that a husband and wife made to each other in their covenant of marriage.
|
||||
* God commanded the Israelites to not commit adultery.
|
||||
* The term "adulterous" is often used in a figurative sense to describe the people of Israel as being unfaithful to God, especially when they worshiped false gods.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* If the target language does not have one word that means "adultery," this term could be translated with a phrase such as "having sexual relations with someone else's wife" or "being intimate with another person's spouse."
|
||||
* Some languages may have an indirect way of talking about adultery, such as "sleeping with someone else's spouse" or "being unfaithful to one's wife." (See: [euphemism](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs-euphemism))
|
||||
* When "adulterous" is used in a figurative sense, it is best to translate it literally in order to communicate God's view of his disobedient people as being compared to an unfaithful spouse. If this does not communicate accurately in the target language, the figurative use of "adulterous" could be translated as "unfaithful" or "immoral" or "like an unfaithful spouse."

# amen, truly #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "amen" is a word used to emphasize or call attention to what a person has said. It is often used at the end of a prayer. Sometimes it is translated as "truly."
|
||||
|
||||
* When used at the end of a prayer, "amen" communicates agreement with the prayer or expresses a desire that the prayer be fulfilled.
|
||||
* In his teaching, Jesus used "amen" to emphasize the truth of what he said. He often followed that by "and I say to you" to introduce another teaching that related to the previous teaching.
|
||||
* When Jesus uses "amen" this way, some English versions (and the ULB) translate this as "verily" or "truly."
|
||||
* Another word meaning "truly" is sometimes translated as "surely" or "certainly" and is also used to emphasize what the speaker is saying.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Consider whether the target language has a special word or phrase that is used to emphasize something that has been said.
|
||||
* When used at the end of a prayer or to confirm something, "amen" could be translated as "let it be so" or "may this happen" or "that is true."
|
||||
* When Jesus says, "truly I tell you," this could also be translated as "Yes, I tell you sincerely" or "That is true, and I also tell you."
|
||||
* The phrase "truly, truly I tell you" could be translated as "I tell you this very sincerely" or "I tell you this very earnestly" or "what I am telling you is true."

# angel, archangel #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
An angel is a powerful spirit being whom God created. Angels exist to serve God by doing whatever he tells them to do. The term "archangel" refers to the angel who rules or leads all the other angels.
|
||||
|
||||
* The word "angel" literally means "messenger."
|
||||
* The term "archangel" literally means "chief messenger." The only angel referred to in the Bible as an "archangel" is Michael.
|
||||
* In the Bible, angels gave messages to people from God. These messages included instructions about what God wanted the people to do.
|
||||
* Angels also told people about events that were going to happen in the future or events that had already happened.
|
||||
* Angels have God's authority as his representatives and sometimes in the Bible they spoke as if God himself was speaking.
|
||||
* Other ways that angels serve God are by protecting and strengthening people.
|
||||
* A special phrase, "angel of Yahweh," has more than one possible meaning: 1) It may mean "angel who represents Yahweh" or "messenger who serves Yahweh." 2) It may refer to Yahweh himself, who looked like an angel as he talked to a person. Either one of these meanings would explain the angel's use of "I" as if Yahweh himself was talking.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Ways to translate "angel" could include "messenger from God" or "God's heavenly servant" or "God's spirit messenger."
|
||||
* The term "archangel" could be translated as "chief angel" or "head ruling angel" or "leader of the angels."
|
||||
* Also consider how these terms are translated in a national language or another local language.
|
||||
* The phrase "angel of Yahweh" should be translated using the words for "angel" and "Yahweh." This will allow for different interpretations of that phrase. Possible translations could include "angel from Yahweh" or "angel sent by Yahweh" or "Yahweh, who looked like an angel."

# atonement lid #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The "atonement lid" was a slab of gold that was used to cover the top of the ark of the covenant. In many English translations, it is also referred to as an "atonement cover."
|
||||
|
||||
* The atonement lid was about 115 centimeters in length and 70 centimeters in width.
|
||||
* Above the atonement lid were two gold cherubim with their wings touching.
|
||||
* Yahweh said that he would meet with the Israelites above the atonement lid, under the outstretched wings of the cherubim. Only the high priest was permitted to do this, as the representative of the people.
|
||||
* Sometimes this atonement lid has been referred to as a "mercy seat" because it communicates God's mercy in coming down to redeem sinful human beings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Other ways to translate this term could include "ark covering where God promises to redeem" or "place where God atones" or "lid of ark where God forgives and restores."
|
||||
* Can also mean "place of propitiation."
|
||||

## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
In the Bible, the term "believer" refers to someone who believes in and relies on Jesus Christ as Savior.
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "believer" literally means "person who believes."
|
||||
* The term "Christian" eventually came to be the main title for believers because it indicates that they believe in Christ and obey his teachings.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Some translations may prefer to say "believer in Jesus" or "believer in Christ."
|
||||
* This term could also be translated by a word or phrase that means "person who trusts in Jesus" or "someone who knows Jesus and lives for him."
|
||||
* Other ways to translate "believer" could be "follower of Jesus" or "person who knows and obeys Jesus."
|
||||
* The term "believer" is a general term for any believer in Christ, while "disciple" and "apostle" were used more specifically for people who knew Jesus while he was alive. It is best to translate these terms in different ways, in order to keep them distinct.

* God rebuked the Israelites for "boasting in" their idols. They arrogantly worshiped false gods instead of the true God.
|

|
||||

# body #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "body" literally refers to the physical body of a person or animal. This term is also used figuratively to refer to an object or whole group that has individual members.
|
||||
|
||||
* Often the term "body" refers to a dead person or animal. Sometimes this is referred to as a "dead body" or a "corpse."
|
||||
* When Jesus said to the disciples at his last Passover meal, "This (bread) is my body," he was referring to his physical body that would be "broken" (killed) to pay for their sins.
|
||||
* In the Bible, Christians as a group are referred to as the "body of Christ."
|
||||
* Just as a physical body has many parts, the "body of Christ" has many individual members.
|
||||
* Each individual believer has a special function in the body of Christ to help the whole group work together to serve God and bring him glory.
|
||||
* Jesus is also referred to as the "head" (leader) of the "body" of his believers. Just as a person's head tells his body what to do, so Jesus is the one who guides and directs Christians as members of his "body."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The best way to translate this term would be with the word that is most commonly used to refer to a physical body in the project language. Make sure that the word used is not an offensive term.
|
||||
* When referring collectively to believers, for some languages it may be more natural and accurate to say "spiritual body of Christ."
|
||||
* When Jesus says, "This is my body," it is best to translate this literally, with a note to explain it if needed.
|
||||
* Some languages may have a separate word when referring to a dead body, such as "corpse" for a person or "carcass" for an animal. Make sure the word used to translate this makes sense in the context and is acceptable.

# born again, born of God, new birth #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "born again" was first used by Jesus to describe what it means for God to change a person from being dead spiritually to being alive spiritually. The terms "born of God" and "born of the Spirit" also refer to a person being given new spiritual life.
|
||||
|
||||
* All humans are born spiritually dead and are given a "new birth" when they accept Jesus Christ as their Savior.
|
||||
* At the moment of the spiritual new birth, God's Holy Spirit begins to live in the new believer and empowers him to produce good spiritual fruit in his life.
|
||||
* It is God's work to cause a person to be born again and become his child.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Other ways to translate "born again" could include "born anew" or "born spiritually."
|
||||
* It is best to translate this term literally and use the normal word in the language that would be used for being born.
|
||||
* The term "new birth" might be translated as "spiritual birth."
|
||||
* The phrase "born of God" could be translated as "caused by God to have new life like a newborn baby" or "given new life by God."
|
||||
* In the same way, "born of the Spirit" could be translated as "given new life by the Holy Spirit" or "empowered by the Holy Spirit to become God's child" or "caused by the Spirit to have new life like a newborn baby."

|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
To bow means to bend over to humbly express respect and honor toward someone. To "bow down" means to bend over or kneel down very low, often with face and hands toward the ground.
|
||||
|
||||
* Other expressions include "bow the knee" (meaning to kneel) and "bow the head" (meaning to bend the head forward in humble respect or in sorrow).
|
||||
* Bowing down can also be a sign of distress or mourning. Someone who is "bowed down" has been brought to a low position of humility.
|
||||
* Often a person will bow in the presence of someone who is of higher status or greater importance, such as kings and other rulers.
|
||||
* Bowing down before God is an expression of worship to him.
|
||||
* In the Bible, people bowed down to Jesus when they realized from his miracles and teaching that he had come from God.
|
||||
* The Bible says that when Jesus comes back someday, everyone will bow the knee to worship him.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##

||||
|
||||

|
||||

# breathe, breath #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
In the Bible, the terms "breathe" and "breath" are often used figuratively to refer to giving life or having life.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Bible teaches that God "breathed into" Adam the breath of life. It was at that point that Adam became a living soul.
|
||||
* When Jesus breathed on the disciples and told them to "receive the Spirit," he was probably literally breathing out air onto them to symbolize the Holy Spirit coming to them.
|
||||
* Sometimes the terms "breathing" and "breathing out" are used to refer to speaking.
|
||||
* The figurative expression "breath of God" or "breath of Yahweh" often refers to God's wrath being poured out on rebellious or godless nations. It communicates his power.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The expression "breathed his last" is a figurative way of saying "he died." It could also be translated as "he took his last breath" or "he stopped breathing and died" or "he breathed in air one last time."
|
||||
* Describing the Scriptures as "God-breathed" means that God spoke or inspired the words of the Scriptures which human authors then wrote down. It is probably best, if possible, to translate "God-breathed" somewhat literally since it is difficult to communicate the exact meaning of this.
|
||||
* If a literal translation of "God-breathed" is not acceptable, other ways to translate this could include "inspired by God" or "authored by God" or "spoken by God." It could also be said that "God breathed out the words of Scripture."
|
||||
* The expressions "put breath in" or "breathe life into" or "gives breath to" could be translated as "cause to breathe" or "make alive again" or "enable them to live and breathe" or "give life to."
|
||||
* If possible, it is best to translate "breath of God" with the literal word that is used for "breath" in the language. If God cannot be said to have "breath," this could be translated as "God's power" or "God's speech."
|
||||
* The expression "catch my breath" or "get my breath" could be translated as "relax in order to breathe more slowly" or "stop running in order to breathe normally."
|
||||
* The expression "is only a breath" means "lasts a very short time."
|
||||
* Similarly the expression "man is a single breath" means "people live a very short time" or "the lives of human beings are very short, like a single breath" or "compared to God, the life of a person seems as short as the time it takes to breathe in one breath of air."

# brother #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "brother" usually refers to a male person who shares at least one biological parent with another person.
|
||||
|
||||
* In the Old Testament, the term "brothers" is also used as a general reference to relatives, such as members of the same tribe, clan, or people group.
|
||||
* In the New Testament, the apostles often used "brothers" to refer to fellow Christians, including both men and women, since all believers in Christ are members of one spiritual family, with God as their heavenly Father.
|
||||
* A few times in the New Testament, the apostles used the term "sister" when referring specifically to a fellow Christian who was a woman, or to emphasize that both men and women are being included. For example, James emphasizes that he is talking about all believers when he refers to "a brother or sister who is in need of food or clothing."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* It is best to translate this term with the literal word that is used in the target language to refer to a natural or biological brother, unless this would give wrong meaning.
|
||||
* In the Old Testament especially, when "brothers" is used very generally to refer to members of the same family, clan, or people group, possible translations could include "relatives" or "clan members" or "fellow Israelites."
|
||||
* In the context of referring to a fellow believer in Christ, this term could be translated as "brother in Christ" or "spiritual brother."
|
||||
* If both males and females are being referred to and "brother" would give a wrong meaning, then a more general kinship term could be used that would include both males and females.
|
||||
* Other ways to translate this term so that it refers to both male and female believers could be "fellow believers" or "Christian brothers and sisters."
|
||||
* Make sure to check the context to determine whether only men are being referred to, or whether both men and women are included.

## Definition: ##

|
||||
* Depending on the context, "children of" could be translated as, "people who have the characteristics of" or "people who behave like."

The terms "Messiah" and "Christ" mean "Anointed One" and refer to Jesus, God's Son.
|
||||
|
||||
* Both "Messiah" and "Christ" are used in the New Testament to refer to God's Son, whom God the Father appointed to rule as king over his people, and to save them from sin and death.
|
||||
* In the Old Testament, the prophets wrote prophecies about the Messiah hundreds of years before he came to earth.
|
||||
* Often a word meaning "anointed (one)" is used in the Old Testament to refer to the Messiah who would come.
|
||||
* Jesus fulfilled many of these prophecies and did many miraculous works that proves he is the Messiah; the rest of these prophecies will be fulfilled when he returns.
|
||||
* The word "Christ" is often used as a title, as in "the Christ" and "Christ Jesus."
|
||||
* "Christ" also came to be used as part of his name, as in "Jesus Christ."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* This term could be translated using its meaning, "the Anointed One" or "God's Anointed Savior."
|
||||
* Many languages use a transliterated word that looks or sounds like "Christ" or "Messiah." (See: [How to Translate Unknowns](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/translate-unknown))
|
||||
* The transliterated word could be followed by the definition of the term as in, "Christ, the Anointed One."
|
||||
* Be consistent in how this is translated throughout the Bible so that it is clear that the same term is being referred to.
|
||||
* Make sure the translations of "Messiah" and "Christ" work well in contexts where both terms occur in the same verse (such as John 1:41).

# Christian #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
Some time after Jesus went back to heaven, people made up the name "Christian" which means, "follower of Christ."
|
||||
|
||||
* It was in the city of Antioch where Jesus' followers were first called "Christians."
|
||||
* A Christian is a person who believes that Jesus is the Son of God, and who trusts Jesus to save him from his sins.
|
||||
* In our modern times, often the term "Christian" is used for someone who identifies with the Christian religion, but who is not really following Jesus. This is not the meaning of "Christian" in the Bible.
|
||||
* Because the term "Christian" in the Bible always refers to someone who truly believes in Jesus, a Christian is also called a "believer."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* This term could be translated as "Christ-follower" or "follower of Christ" or perhaps something like, "Christ-person."
|
||||
* Make sure that the translation of this term is translated differently than terms used for disciple or apostle.
|
||||
* Be careful to translate this term with a word that can refer to everyone who believes in Jesus, not just certain groups.
|
||||
* Also consider how this term is translated in a Bible translation in a local or national language. (See: [How to Translate Unknowns](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/translate-unknown))

# church, Church #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
In the New Testament, the term "church" refers to a local group of believers in Jesus who regularly met together to pray and hear God's word preached. The term "the Church" often refers to all Christians.
|
||||
|
||||
* This term literally refers to a "called out" assembly or congregation of people who meet together for a special purpose.
|
||||
* When this term is used to refer to all believers everywhere in the whole body of Christ, some Bible translations capitalize the first letter ("Church") to distinguish it from the local church.
|
||||
* Often the believers in a particular city would meet together in someone's home. These local churches were given the name of the city such as the "church at Ephesus."
|
||||
* In the Bible, "church" does not refer to a building.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "church" could be translated as a "gathering together" or "assembly" or "congregation" or "ones who meet together."
|
||||
* The word or phrase that is used to translate this term should also be able to refer to all believers, not just one small group.
|
||||
* Make sure that the translation of "church" does not just refer to a building.
|
||||
* The term used to translate "assembly" in the Old Testament could also be used to translate this term.
|
||||
* Also consider how it is translated in a local or national Bible translation. (See: [How to Translate Unknowns](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/translate-unknown).)

# circumcise, circumcision #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "circumcise" means to cut off the foreskin of a man or male child. A circumcision ceremony may be performed in connection with this.
|
||||
|
||||
* God commanded Abraham to circumcise every male among his family and servants as a sign of God's covenant with them.
|
||||
* God also commanded Abraham's descendants to continue to do this for every baby boy born into their households.
|
||||
* The phrase, "circumcision of the heart" refers figuratively to the "cutting away" or removal of sin from a person.
|
||||
* In a spiritual sense, "the circumcised" refers to people whom God has purified from sin through the blood of Jesus and who are his people.
|
||||
* The term "uncircumcised" refers to those who have not been circumcised physically. It can also refer figuratively to those who have not been circumcised spiritually, who do not have a relationship with God.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* If the culture of the target language performs circumcisions on males, the word used to refer to this should be used for this term.
|
||||
* Other ways to translate this term would be, "cut around" or "cut in a circle" or "cut off the foreskin."
|
||||
* In cultures where circumcision is not known, it may be necessary to explain it in a footnote or glossary.
|
||||
* Make sure the term used to translate this does not refer to females. It may be necessary to translate this with a word or phrase that includes the meaning of "male."

# clean, cleanse #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "clean" literally means to not have any dirt or stain. In the Bible, it is often used figuratively to mean, "pure," "holy," or "free from sin."
|
||||
|
||||
* "Cleanse" is the process of making something "clean." It could also be translated as "wash" or "purify."
|
||||
* In the Old Testament, God told the Israelites which animals he had specified as ritually "clean" and which ones were "unclean." Only the clean animals were permitted to be used for eating or for sacrifice. In this context, the term "clean" means that the animal was acceptable to God for use as a sacrifice.
|
||||
* A person who had certain skin diseases would be unclean until the skin was healed enough to no longer be contagious. Instructions for cleansing the skin had to be obeyed in order for that person to be declared "clean" again.
|
||||
* Sometimes "clean" is used figuratively to refer to moral purity.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* This term could be translated with the common word for "clean" or "pure" (in the sense of being not dirty).
|
||||
* Other ways to translate this could include, "ritually clean" or "acceptable to God."
|
||||
* "Cleanse" could be translated by "wash" or "purify."
|
||||
* Make sure that the words used for "clean" and "cleanse" can also be understood in a figurative sense.

# clothe, clothed #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
When used figuratively in the Bible, "clothed with" means to be endowed or equipped with something. To "clothe" oneself with something means to seek to have a certain character quality.
|
||||
|
||||
* In the same way that clothing is external to your body and is visible to all, when you are "clothed" with a certain character quality, others can readily see it. To "clothe yourself with kindness" means to let your actions be so characterized by kindness that it is easily seen by everyone.
|
||||
* To be "clothed with power from on high" means to have power given to you.
|
||||
* This term is also used to express negative experiences, such as "clothed with shame" or "clothed with terror."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* If possible, it is best to keep the literal figure of speech, "clothe yourselves with." Another way to translate this could be "put on" if this refers to putting on clothes.
|
||||
* If that does not give the correct meaning, other ways to translate "clothed with" could be "showing" or "manifesting" or "filled with" or "having the quality of."
|
||||
* The term "clothe yourself with" could also be translated as "cover yourself with" or "behave in a way that shows."

# cornerstone #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "cornerstone" refers to a large stone that has been specially cut and placed in the corner of the foundation of a building.
|
||||
|
||||
* All the other stones of the building are measured and placed in relation to the cornerstone.
|
||||
* It is very important for the strength and stability of the whole structure.
|
||||
* In the New Testament, the Assembly of believers is metaphorically compared to a building which has Jesus Christ as its "cornerstone."
|
||||
* In the same way that the cornerstone of a building supports and determines the position of the whole building, so Jesus Christ is the cornerstone on which the Assembly of believers is founded and supported.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "cornerstone" could also be translated as "main building stone" or "foundation stone."
|
||||
* Consider whether the target language has a term for a part of a building's foundation that is the main support. If so, this term could be used.
|
||||
* Another way to translate this would be, "a foundation stone used for the corner of a building."
|
||||
* It is important to keep the fact that this is a large stone, used as a solid and secure building material. If stones are not used for constructing buildings, there may be another word that could be used that means "large stone" (such as "boulder") but it should also have the idea of being well-formed and made to fit.

# covenant #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
A covenant is a formal, binding agreement between two parties that one or both parties must fulfill.
|
||||
|
||||
* This agreement can be between individuals, between groups of people, or between God and people.
|
||||
* When people make a covenant with each other, they promise that they will do something, and they must do it.
|
||||
* Examples of human covenants include marriage covenants, business agreements, and treaties between countries.
|
||||
* Throughout the Bible, God made several different covenants with his people.
|
||||
* In some of the covenants, God promised to fulfill his part without conditions. For example, when God established his covenant with mankind promising to never destroy the earth again with a worldwide flood, this promise had no conditions for people to fulfill.
|
||||
* In other covenants, God promised to fulfill his part only if the people obeyed him and fulfilled their part of the covenant.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Depending on the context, ways to translate this term could include, "binding agreement" or "formal commitment" or "pledge" or "contract."
|
||||
* Some languages may have different words for covenant depending on whether one party or both parties have made a promise they must keep. If the covenant is one-sided, it could be translated as "promise" or "pledge."
|
||||
* Make sure the translation of this term does not sound like people proposed the covenant. In all cases of covenants between God and people, it was God who initiated the covenant.

# cross #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
In Bible times, a cross was an upright wooden post stuck into the ground, with a horizontal wooden beam attached to it near the top.
|
||||
|
||||
* During the time of the Roman Empire, the Roman government would execute criminals by tying or nailing them to a cross and leaving them there to die.
|
||||
* Jesus was falsely accused of crimes he did not commit and the Romans put him to death on a cross.
|
||||
* Note that this is a completely different word from the verb "cross" that means to go over to the other side of something, such as a river or lake.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* This term could be translated using a term in the target language that refers to the shape of a cross.
|
||||
* Consider describing the cross as something on which people were killed, using phrases such as "execution post" or "tree of death."
|
||||
* Also consider how this word is translated in a Bible translation in a local or national language. (See: [How to Translate Unknowns](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/translate-unknown))

## Definition: ##
|

The expression "be cut off" is an expression that means to be excluded, banished or isolated from the main group. It can also refer to being killed as an act of divine judgment for sin.
|
||||
|
||||
* In the Old Testament, disobeying God's commands resulted in being cut off, or separated, from God's people and from his presence.
|
||||

|
||||
* The expression "cut off" is also used to refer to God causing a river to stop flowing.
|

||||
The term "darkness" literally means an absence of light. There are also several figurative meanings of this term:
|
||||
|
||||
* As a metaphor, "darkness" means "impurity" or "evil" or "spiritual blindness."
|
||||
* It also refers to anything related to sin and moral corruption.
|
||||
* The expression "dominion of darkness" refers to all that is evil and ruled by Satan.
|
||||
* The term "darkness" can also be used as a metaphor for death. (See: [Metaphor](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs-metaphor))
|
||||
* People who do not know God are said to be "living in darkness," which means they do not understand or practice righteousness.
|
||||
* God is light (righteousness) and the darkness (evil) cannot overcome that light.
|
||||
* The place of punishment for those who reject God is sometimes referred to as "outer darkness."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* It is best to translate this term literally, with a word in the project language that refers to the absence of light. This could also be a term that refers to the darkness of a room with no light or to the time of day when there is no light.
|
||||
* For the figurative uses, it is also important to keep the image of darkness in contrast to light, as a way to describe evil and deception in contrast to goodness and truth.
|
||||
* Depending on the context, other ways to translate this could be, "darkness of night" (as opposed to "light of day") or "not seeing anything, like at night" or "evil, like a dark place".

# Daughter of Zion #
|

|

# day of the Lord, day of Yahweh #
|
||||
|
||||
## Description: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The Old Testament term "day of Yahweh" is used to refer to a specific time(s) when God would punish people for their sin.

|
||||
* The word "day" in these phrases may sometimes refer to a literal day or it may refer to a "time" or "occasion" that is longer than a day.
|
||||
* Sometimes the punishment is referred to as a "pouring out of God's wrath" upon those who do not believe.
|
||||
|
||||
|

# death, die, dead #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
This term is used to refer to both physical and spiritual death. Physically, it refers to when the physical body of a person stops living. Spiritually, it refers to sinners being separated from a holy God because of their sin.
|
||||
|
||||
## 1. Physical death ####
|
||||
|
||||
* To "die" means to stop living. Death is the end of physical life.
|
||||
* A person's spirit leaves his body when he dies.
|
||||
* When Adam and Eve sinned, physical death came into the world.
|
||||
* The expression "put to death" refers to killing or murdering someone, especially when a king or other ruler gives an order for someone to be killed.
|
||||
|
||||
## 2. Spiritual death ####
|
||||
|
||||
* Spiritual death is the separation of a person from God.
|
||||
* Adam died spiritually when he disobeyed God. His relationship with God was broken. He became ashamed and tried to hide from God.
|
||||
* Every descendant of Adam is a sinner, and is spiritually dead. God makes us spiritually alive again when we have faith in Jesus Christ.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* To translate this term, it is best to use the everyday, natural word or expression in the target language that refers to death.
|
||||
* In some languages, "to die" may be expressed as "to not live." The term "dead" may be translated as "not alive" or "not having any life" or "not living."
|
||||
* Many languages use figurative expressions to describe death, such as "to pass away" in English. However, in the Bible it is best to use the most direct term for death that is used in everyday language.
|
||||
* In the Bible, physical life and death are often compared to spiritual life and death. It is important in a translation to use the same word or phrase for both physical death and spiritual death.
|
||||
* In some languages it may be more clear to say "spiritual death" when the context requires that meaning. Some translators may also feel it is best to say "physical death" in contexts where it is being contrasted to spiritual death.
|
||||
* The expression "the dead" is a nominal adjective that refers to people who have died. Some languages will translate this as "dead people" or "people who have died." (See: [nominal adjective](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs-nominaladj))
|
||||
* The expression "put to death" could also be translated as "kill" or "murder" or "execute."

# demon, evil spirit, unclean spirit #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
All these terms refer to demons, which are spirit beings that oppose God's will.
|
||||
|
||||
* God created angels to serve him. When the devil rebelled against God, some of the angels also rebelled and were thrown out of heaven. It is believed that demons and evil spirits are these "fallen angels."
|
||||
* Sometimes these demons are called "unclean spirits." The term "unclean" means "impure" or "evil" or "unholy."
|
||||
* Because demons serve the devil, they do evil things. Sometimes they live inside people and control them.
|
||||
* Demons are more powerful than human beings, but not as powerful as God.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "demon" could also be translated as "evil spirit."
|
||||
* The term "unclean spirit" could also be translated as "impure spirit" or "corrupt spirit" or "evil spirit."
|
||||
* Make sure that the word or phrase used to translate this term is different from the term used to refer to the devil.
|
||||
* Also consider how the term "demon" is translated in a local or national language. (See: [How to Translate Unknowns](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/translate-unknown))

# chosen one, choose, chosen people, Chosen One, the elect #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term, "the elect" literally means "chosen ones" or "chosen people" and refers to those whom God has appointed or selected to be his people. "Chosen One" or "Chosen One of God" is a title that refers to Jesus, who is the chosen Messiah.
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "choose" means to select something or someone or to decide something. It is often used to refer to God appointing people to belong to him and to serve him.
|
||||
* To be "chosen" means to be "selected" or "appointed" to be or do something.
|
||||
* God chose people to be holy, to be set apart by him for the purpose of bearing good spiritual fruit. That is why they are called "the chosen (ones) or "the elect."
|
||||
* The term "chosen one" is sometimes used in the Bible to refer to certain people such as Moses and King David whom God had appointed as leaders over his people. It is also used to refer to the nation of Israel as God's chosen people.
|
||||
* The phrase "the elect" is an older term that literally means "the chosen ones" or "the chosen people." This phrase in the original language is plural when referring to believers in Christ.
|
||||
* In older English Bible versions, the term "elect" is used in both the Old and New Testaments to translate the word for "chosen one(s)." More modern versions use "elect" only in the New Testament, to refer to people who have been saved by God through faith in Jesus. Elsewhere in the Bible text, they translate this word more literally as "chosen ones."
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* It is best to translate "elect" with a word or phrase that means "chosen ones" or "chosen people." These could also be translated as "people whom God chose" or "the ones God appointed to be his people."
|
||||
* The phrase, "who were chosen" could also be translated as "who were appointed" or "who were selected" or "whom God chose."
|
||||
* "I chose you" could be translated as, "I appointed you" or "I selected you."
|
||||
* In reference to Jesus, "Chosen One" could also be translated as, "God's chosen One" or "God's specially appointed Messiah" or "the One God appointed (to save people)."

# exhort, exhortation #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "exhort" means to strongly encourage and urge someone to do what is right. Such encouragement is called "exhortation."
|
||||
|
||||
* The purpose of exhortation is to persuade other people to avoid sin and follow God's will.
|
||||
* The New Testament teaches Christians to exhort each other in love, not harshly or abruptly.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* Depending on the context, "exhort" could also be translated as "strongly urge" or "persuade" or "advise."
|
||||
* Make sure the translation of this term does not imply that the exhorter is angry. The term should convey strength and seriousness, but should not refer to angry speech.
|
||||
* In most contexts, the term "exhort" should be translated differently than "encourage," which means to inspire, reassure, or comfort someone.
|
||||
* Usually this term will also be translated differently from "admonish," which means to warn or correct someone for his wrong behavior.

# false god, foreign god, god, goddess #
|
||||
|

## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
A false god is something that people worship instead of the one true God. The term "goddess" refers specifically to a female false god.
|
||||
|
||||
* These false gods or goddesses do not exist. Yahweh is the only God.
|
||||
* People sometimes make objects into idols to worship as symbols of their false gods.
|
||||
* In the Bible, God's people frequently turned away from obeying him in order to worship false gods.
|
||||
* Demons often deceive people into believing that the false gods and idols they worship have power.
|
||||
* Baal, Dagon, and Molech were three of the many false gods that were worshiped by people in Bible times.
|
||||
* Asherah and Artemis (Diana) were two of the goddesses that ancient peoples worshiped.
|
||||

||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* There may already be a word for "god" or "false god" in the language or in a nearby language.
|
||||
* The term "idol" could be used to refer to false gods.
|
||||
* In English, a lower case "g" is used to refer to false gods, and upper case "G" is used to refer to the one true God. Other languages also do that.
|
||||
* Another option would be to use a completely different word to refer to the false gods.
|
||||
* Some languages may add a word to specify whether the false god is described as male or female.

# filled with the Spirit #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "filled with the Spirit" is a figurative expression that, when used to describe a person means the Holy Spirit is empowering that person to do God's will.
|
||||
|
||||
* The expression "filled with" is an expression that often means "controlled by."
|
||||
* People are "filled with the Spirit" when they follow the Holy Spirit's leading and completely rely on him to help them do what God wants.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* This term could be translated as "empowered by the Holy Spirit" or "controlled by the Holy Spirit." But it should not sound as though the Holy Spirit is forcing the person to do something.
|
||||
* A sentence such as "he was filled with the Spirit" could be translated as "he was living fully by the Spirit's power" or "he was completely guided by the Holy Spirit" or "the Holy Spirit was guiding him completely."
|
||||
* This term is similar in meaning to the expression "live by the Spirit," but "filled with the Spirit" emphasizes the completeness with which a person allows the Holy Spirit to have control or influence over his life. So these two expressions should be translated differently, if possible.

# firstborn #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "firstborn" refers to an offspring of people or animals that is born first, before the other offspring are born.
|
||||
|
||||
* In the Bible, "firstborn" usually refers to the first male offspring that is born.
|
||||
* In Bible times, the firstborn son was given a place of prominence and twice as much of his family inheritance as the other sons.
|
||||
* Often it was the firstborn male of an animal that was sacrificed to God.
|
||||
* This concept can also be used figuratively. For example, the nation of Israel is called God's firstborn son because God gave it special privileges over other nations.
|
||||
* Jesus, the Son of God is called God's firstborn because of his importance and authority over everyone else.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* When "firstborn" occurs in the text alone, it could also be translated as "firstborn male" or "firstborn son," since that is what is implied. (See: [Assumed Knowledge and Implicit Information](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs-explicit))
|
||||
* Other ways to translate this term could include "the son who was born first" or "the eldest son" or "the number one son."
|
||||
* When used figuratively to refer to Jesus, this could be translated with a word or phrase that means "the son who has authority over everything" or "the Son who is first in honor."
|
||||
* Caution: Make sure the translation of this term in reference to Jesus does not imply that he was created.

# firstfruits #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "first fruits" refers to a portion of the first crop of fruits and vegetables that was reaped during each harvest season.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Israelites offered these first fruits to God as a sacrificial offering.
|
||||
* This term is also used figuratively in the Bible to refer to a firstborn son as being the first fruits of the family. That is, because he was the first son to be born into that family, he was the one who carried on the family name and honor.
|
||||
* Because Jesus rose from the dead, he is called the "first fruits" of all believers in him who have died but who will some day come back to life.
|
||||
* Believers in Jesus are also called the "first fruits" of all creation, indicating the special privilege and position of those whom Jesus redeemed and called to be his people.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The literal use of this term could be translated as "first portion (of crops)" or "first part of the harvest."
|
||||
* If possible, the figurative uses should be translated literally, to allow for different meanings in different contexts. This will also show the correlation between the literal meaning and the figurative uses.

# flesh #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
In the Bible, the term "flesh" literally refers to the soft tissue of the physical body of a human being or animal.
|
||||
|
||||
* The Bible also uses the term "flesh" in a figurative way to refer to all human beings or all living creatures.
|
||||
* In the New Testament, the term "flesh" is used to refer to the sinful nature of human beings. This is often used in contrast to their spiritual nature.
|
||||
* The expression "own flesh and blood" refers to someone who is biologically related to another person, such as a parent, sibling, child, or grandchild.
|
||||
* The expression "flesh and blood" can also refer to a person's ancestors or descendants.
|
||||
* The expression "one flesh" refers to the physical uniting of a man and woman in marriage.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* In the context of an animal's body, "flesh" could be translated as "body" or "skin" or "meat."
|
||||
* When it is used to refer generally to all living creatures, this term could be translated as "living beings" or "everything that is alive."
|
||||
* When referring in general to all people, this term could be translated as "people" or "human beings" or "everyone who lives."
|
||||
* The expression "flesh and blood" could also be translated as "relatives" or "family" or "kinfolk" or "family clan." There may be contexts where it could be translated as "ancestors" or "descendants."
|
||||
* Some languages may have an expression that is similar in meaning to "flesh and blood."
|
||||
* The expression "become one flesh" could be translated as "unite sexually" or "become as one body" or "become like one person in body and spirit." The translation of this expression should be checked to make sure it is acceptable in the project language and culture. (See: [euphemism](en/ta-vol1/translate/man/figs-euphemism)). It should also be understood that this is figurative, and does not mean that a man and a woman who "become one flesh" literally become one person.

# sexual immorality, immorality, immoral #

|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
The term "sexual immorality" refers to sexual activity that takes place outside the marriage relationship of a man and a woman. This is against God's plan. Older English Bible versions call this "fornication."
|
||||
|
||||
* This term can refer to any kind of sexual activity that is against God's will, including homosexual acts and pornography.
|
||||
* One type of sexual immorality is adultery, which is sexual activity specifically between a married person and someone who is not that person's spouse.
|
||||
* Another type of sexual immorality is "prostitution," which involves being paid to have sex with someone.
|
||||
* This term is also used figuratively to refer to Israel's unfaithfulness to God when they worshiped false gods.
|
||||
|
||||
## Translation Suggestions: ##
|
||||
|
||||
* The term "sexual immorality" could be translated as "immorality" as long as the correct meaning of the term is understood.
|
||||
* Other ways to translate this term could include, "wrong sexual acts" or "sex outside of marriage."
|
||||
* This term should be translated in a different way from the term "adultery."
|
||||
* The translation of this term's figurative uses should retain the literal term if possible since there is a common comparison in the Bible between unfaithfulness to God and unfaithfulness in the sexual relationship.

# gate, gate bar #
|
||||
|
||||
## Definition: ##
|
||||
|
||||
A "gate" is a hinged barrier at an access point in a fence or wall that surrounds a house or city. The "gate bar" refers to a wooden or metal bar that can be moved into place to lock the gate.
|
||||
|
||||
* A city gate could be opened to allow people, animals, and cargo to travel in and out of the city.
|
||||
* To protect the city, its walls and gates were thick and strong. Gates were closed and locked with a metal or wooden bar to prevent enemy soldiers from entering the city.
|
||||
* A city gate was often the news and social center of a village. It was also where business transactions occurred and judgments were made, because city walls were thick enough to have gateways that produced cool shade from the hot sun. Citizens found it pleasant to sit in the shade to conduct their business and even to judge legal cases.

## Translation Suggestions: ##

|
||||
* The phrase "bars of the gate" could be translated as "gate bolts" or "wooden beams to lock the gate" or "metal locking rods of the gate."
