This kind of love especially includes forgiving others. -* In the ULB, the word "love" refers to this kind of sacrificial love, unless a Translation Note indicates a different meaning. - -2. Another word in the New Testament refers to brotherly love, or love for a friend or family member. - -* This term refers to natural human love between friends or relatives. -* It can also be used in such contexts as, "They love to sit in the most important seats at a banquet." This means that they "like very much" or "greatly desire" to do that. - -3. The word "love" can also refer to romantic love between a man and a woman. - -4. In the figurative expression "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated," the term "loved" refers to God's choosing of Jacob to be in a covenant relationship with him.

Make sure that the word used to translate God's love can include giving up one's own interests to benefit others and loving others no matter what they do. -* Sometimes the English word "love" describes the deep caring that people have for friends and family members. Some languages might translate this with a word or phrase that means, "like very much" or "care for" or "have strong affection for." -* In contexts where the word "love" is used to express a strong preference for something, this could be translated by "strongly prefer" or "like very much" or "greatly desire." -* Some languages may also have a separate word that refers to romantic or sexual love between a husband and wife. -* Many languages must express "love" as an action.

Some languages may have an affix or other grammatical marker that could be added to distinguish "LORD" as a name (Yahweh) from "Lord" as a title. - -(Translation suggestions: [How to Translate Names](https://git.door43.org/Door43/en-ta-translate-vol1/src/master/content/translate_names.md)) - -(See also: [god](../kt/god.md) **·** [lord](../kt/lord.md) **·** [lordgod](../kt/lordgod.md) **·** [moses](../other/moses.md) **·** [reveal](../kt/reveal.md)) - -## Bible References: ## - -* [1 Kings 21:19-20](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/1ki/21/19) -* [1 Samuel 16:6-7](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/1sa/16/06) -* [Daniel 09:3-4](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/dan/09/03) -* [Ezekiel 17:24](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/ezk/17/24) -* [Genesis 02:4-6](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/02/04) -* [Genesis 04:3-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/04/03) -* [Genesis 28:12-13](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/28/12) -* [Hosea 11:12](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/hos/11/12) -* [Isaiah 10:3-4](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/isa/10/03) -* [Isaiah 38:7-8](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/isa/38/07) -* [Job 12:9-10](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/job/12/09) -* [Joshua 01:8-9](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/jos/01/08) -* [Lamentations 01:4-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/lam/01/04) -* [Leviticus 25:35-38](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/lev/25/35) -* [Malachi 03:4-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mal/03/04) -* [Micah 02:3-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mic/02/03) -* [Numbers 08:9-11](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/num/08/09) -* [Psalm 124:1-3](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/psa/124/001) -* [Ruth 01:19-21](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/rut/01/19) -* [Zechariah 14:5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/zec/14/05) - -## Examples from the Bible stories: ## - -* __[09-14](https://door43.org/en/obs/notes/frames/09-14)__ God said, "I AM WHO I AM.

The context usually makes the meaning clear. - -## Translation Suggestions: ## - -* Depending on the context, the word "nation" could also be translated as "people group" or "people" or "country." -* If a language has a term for "nation" that is distinct from these other terms, then that term can be used wherever it occurs in the Bible text, as long as it is natural and accurate in each context. -* The plural term "nations" can often be translated as "people groups." -* In certain contexts, this term could also be translated as "Gentiles" or "nonJews." - -(See also: [assyria](../other/assyria.md) **·** [babylon](../other/babylon.md) **·** [canaan](../other/canaan.md) **·** [gentile](../other/gentile.md) **·** [greek](../other/greek.md) **·** [peoplegroup](../other/peoplegroup.md) **·** [philistines](../other/philistines.md) **·** [rome](../other/rome.md)) - -## Bible References: ## - -* [1 Chronicles 14:15-17](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/1ch/14/15) -* [2 Chronicles 15:6-7](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/2ch/15/06) -* [2 Kings 17:11-12](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/2ki/17/11) -* [Acts 02:5-7](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/02/05) -* [Acts 13:19-20](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/13/19) -* [Acts 17:26-27](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/17/26) -* [Acts 26:4-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/26/04) -* [Daniel 03:3-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/dan/03/03) -* [Genesis 10:2-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/10/02) -* [Genesis 27:29](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/27/29) -* [Genesis 35:11-13](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/35/11) -* [Genesis 49:10](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/49/10) -* [Luke 07:2-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/luk/07/02) -* [Mark 13:7-8](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mrk/13/07) -* [Matthew 21:43-44](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mat/21/43) -* [Romans 04:16-17](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/rom/04/16) - diff --git a/content/other/nazareth.md b/content/other/nazareth.md deleted file mode 100644 index 5134cb7c..00000000 --- a/content/other/nazareth.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,31 +0,0 @@ -# Nazareth, Nazarene # - -## Facts: ## - -Nazareth is a town in the region of Galilee in northern Israel.

This phrase is used in genealogies and many other places. +* Using "son of" to give the name of the father frequently helps distinguish people who have the same name.

There are different meanings for "love" some languages may express using different words: - -1. The kind of love that comes from God is focused on the good of others even when it doesn't benefit oneself. This kind of love cares for others, no matter what they do. God himself is love and is the source of true love. - -* Jesus showed this kind of love by sacrificing his life in order to rescue us from sin and death. He also taught his followers to love others sacrificially. -* When people love others with this kind of love, it involves actions that show that someone is thinking of what will cause the others to thrive. This kind of love especially includes forgiving others. -* In the ULB, the word "love" refers to this kind of sacrificial love, unless a Translation Note indicates a different meaning. - -2. Another word in the New Testament refers to brotherly love, or love for a friend or family member. - -* This term refers to natural human love between friends or relatives. -* It can also be used in such contexts as, "They love to sit in the most important seats at a banquet." This means that they "like very much" or "greatly desire" to do that. - -3. The word "love" can also refer to romantic love between a man and a woman. - -4. In the figurative expression "Jacob I have loved, but Esau I have hated," the term "loved" refers to God's choosing of Jacob to be in a covenant relationship with him. This could also be translated as "chosen." Although Esau was also blessed by God, he wasn't given the privilege of being in the covenant. The term "hated" is used figuratively here to mean "rejected" or "not chosen." - -## Translation Suggestions: ## - -* Unless indicated otherwise in a Translation Note, the word "love" in the ULB refers to the kind of sacrificial love that comes from God. -* Some languages may have a special word for the kind of unselfish, sacrificial love that God has. Ways to translate this might include, "devoted, faithful caring" or "care for unselfishly" or "love from God." Make sure that the word used to translate God's love can include giving up one's own interests to benefit others and loving others no matter what they do. -* Sometimes the English word "love" describes the deep caring that people have for friends and family members. Some languages might translate this with a word or phrase that means, "like very much" or "care for" or "have strong affection for." -* In contexts where the word "love" is used to express a strong preference for something, this could be translated by "strongly prefer" or "like very much" or "greatly desire." -* Some languages may also have a separate word that refers to romantic or sexual love between a husband and wife. -* Many languages must express "love" as an action.

The context usually makes the meaning clear. - -## Translation Suggestions: ## - -* Depending on the context, the word "nation" could also be translated as "people group" or "people" or "country." -* If a language has a term for "nation" that is distinct from these other terms, then that term can be used wherever it occurs in the Bible text, as long as it is natural and accurate in each context. -* The plural term "nations" can often be translated as "people groups." -* In certain contexts, this term could also be translated as "Gentiles" or "nonJews." - -(See also: [assyria](../other/assyria.md) **·** [babylon](../other/babylon.md) **·** [canaan](../other/canaan.md) **·** [gentile](../other/gentile.md) **·** [greek](../other/greek.md) **·** [peoplegroup](../other/peoplegroup.md) **·** [philistines](../other/philistines.md) **·** [rome](../other/rome.md)) - -## Bible References: ## - -* [1 Chronicles 14:15-17](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/1ch/14/15) -* [2 Chronicles 15:6-7](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/2ch/15/06) -* [2 Kings 17:11-12](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/2ki/17/11) -* [Acts 02:5-7](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/02/05) -* [Acts 13:19-20](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/13/19) -* [Acts 17:26-27](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/17/26) -* [Acts 26:4-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/act/26/04) -* [Daniel 03:3-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/dan/03/03) -* [Genesis 10:2-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/10/02) -* [Genesis 27:29](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/27/29) -* [Genesis 35:11-13](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/35/11) -* [Genesis 49:10](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gen/49/10) -* [Luke 07:2-5](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/luk/07/02) -* [Mark 13:7-8](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mrk/13/07) -* [Matthew 21:43-44](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mat/21/43) -* [Romans 04:16-17](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/rom/04/16) - diff --git a/content/other/nazareth.md b/content/other/nazareth.md deleted file mode 100644 index 5134cb7c..00000000 --- a/content/other/nazareth.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,31 +0,0 @@ -# Nazareth, Nazarene # - -## Facts: ## - -Nazareth is a town in the region of Galilee in northern Israel.

If the language has a well-known, general term that means, "leavening," this would be the best term to use. - - -(See also: [egypt](../other/egypt.md) **·** [passover](../kt/passover.md) **·** [unleavenedbread](../kt/unleavenedbread.md)) - -## Bible References: ## - - - -* [Exodus 12:5-8](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/exo/12/05) -* [Galatians 05:9-10](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/gal/05/09) -* [Luke 12:1](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/luk/12/01) -* [Luke 13:20-21](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/luk/13/20) -* [Matthew 13:33](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mat/13/33) -* [Matthew 16:5-8](https://door43.org/en/bible/notes/mat/16/05) - diff --git a/content/other/yoke.md b/content/other/yoke.md deleted file mode 100644 index 5efab011..00000000 --- a/content/other/yoke.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,24 +0,0 @@ -# yoke # - -## Definition: ## - -A yoke is a piece of wood or metal attached to two or more animals to connect them for the purpose of pulling a plow or a cart.
