{"title":"The true meaning of the term μονογενής according to the Coptic rites","authors":"Mariam Abd El-Malak, M. Henein","doi":"10.35995/teach-jcs1010000","DOIUrl":"https://doi.org/10.35995/teach-jcs1010000","url":null,"abstract":"Background: The most well-known usage of the term μονογενής is in the spiritually admired hymn Omonogenyc Uioc ke Logoc tw :ew and the most frequently used clergy blessing, ‘f’cmarwout ‘nje pefmonogenyc ‘nsyri. It has been noticed that in many of the liturgical books that have been written in Arabic, μονογενής is often translated as ‘the only race وحيد الجنس, which does not reflect the essence of the term μονογενής. Methods: We hereby provide biblical, Old Testament and New Testament, liturgical books and common prayer book (Agpya) evidence for the exact meaning of the term μονογενής with its Greek references. These quotations prove that the accurate meaning of the term μονογενής is the Only Begotten which is الوحيد. Conclusion: The term μονογενής means the Only Begotten and not race, as translated in Arabic. Such accurate translation has important theological meaning hence should be adhered to. French: Contexte: L’utilisation la plus connue du terme μονογενής se trouve dans l’hymne spirituellement admiré Omonogenyc Uioc ke Logoc tw :ew, et dans la bénédiction du clergé la plus fréquemment utilisée, ‘f’cmarwout ‘nje pefmonogenyc ‘nsyri. Il a été remarqué que dans de nombreux livres liturgiques écrits en arabe, μονογενής est souvent traduit par ‘de race unique وحيد الجنس’, ce qui ne reflète pas l’essence du terme μονογενής. Méthodes: Nous fournissons ici des preuves bibliques, de l’Ancien Testament et du Nouveau Testament, des livres liturgiques et du livre des prières communes (Agpya) de la signification exacte du terme μονογενής avec ses références grecques. Ces citations prouvent que la signification exacte du terme μονογενής est le Fils Unique, qui est الوحيد. Conclusion: Le terme μονογενής signifie le Fils Unique et non la race, comme traduit en arabe. Une telle traduction précise a une signification théologique importante et doit donc être adoptée. German: Hintergrund: Die bekannteste Verwendung des Begriffs μονογενής findet sich in der geistlich bewunderten Hymne Omonogenyc Uioc ke Logoc tw :ew und dem am häufigsten verwendeten klerikalen Segen ‘f’cmarwout ‘nje pefmonogenyc ‘nsyri. Es wurde festgestellt, dass in vielen liturgischen Büchern, die in arabischer Sprache verfasst wurden, μονογενής oft mit \"die einzige Rasse وحيد الجنس\" übersetzt wird, was dem Wesen des Begriffs μονογενής nicht gerecht wird. Methodik: Wir liefern hiermit Beweise aus biblischen Texten, liturgischen Bücher und dem gemeinsamen Gebetsbuch (Agpya) für die genaue Bedeutung des Begriffs μονογενής mit seinen griechischen Referenzen. Diese Zitate beweisen, dass die genaue Bedeutung des Begriffs μονογενής der Einziggeborene Sohn ist, الوحيد. Schlussfolgerung: Der Begriff \"μονογενής\" bedeutet \"der Einziggeborene\" und nicht \"Rasse\", wie es im Arabischen heißt. Diese genaue Übersetzung hat eine wichtige theologische Bedeutung und sollte daher beibehalten werden.

We encountered this issue during singing the word “Alleluia” in the Coptic musical culture. We found that the transmission from “A” to “a” serves as an intermediary step before continuing to the “L”. It may also be an adopted habit by some singers, rather than a consistently inherited musical design with a clear pattern. However, further research is encouraged to decipher this phenomenon.","PeriodicalId":319061,"journal":{"name":"TEACH - Journal of Christian Studies","volume":"7 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-11-30","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"129947166","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
