Meanwhile, the LXX’s παίζοντα μετὰ Ισαακ suggests that Ishmael was playing with Isaac, a connotation which is not evident in the MT, but which many scholars endorse. The LXX’s widely accepted rendering obscures the point of the verse; it does not portray the wordplay on the term צחק which is central in Gen 17, 18, and 21. Against this background, through a linguistic analysis of important key terms like מְצַחֵק and וַתֵּרֶא שָׂרָה, my aim is to demonstrate that the best approach to the translation and interpretation of מְצַחֵק in Gen 21.9 is not to disambiguate the term, but to interpret it as a narrative device which the narrator used to express the motif of separation.","PeriodicalId":354951,"journal":{"name":"The Bible Translator","volume":"26 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122528503","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}

This paper examines the perceived weak point of the project, the issue of the “crudity” or “vulgarity” of the Jamaican language in the area of sexuality, which renders it unsuitable for the holy Scriptures. The project designed a set of focus-group instruments to test acceptability in the area of sexual terminology. Findings indicated that focus-group participants generally preferred the uses of English-like forms rather than the more natural Jamaican Creole ones when dealing with sexual concepts. They preferred prignant over briid or get beli, and vorjin over uman we neva tek man yet, and so on. The challenge to the project was how to manage the association of Jamaican sexual terms with vulgarity while remaining faithful to the language. The paper concludes with an account of how this was managed.","PeriodicalId":354951,"journal":{"name":"The Bible Translator","volume":"61 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2022-04-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130753611","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}

DBAM aims at providing a tool for the study of the interdisciplinary field of ancient media studies, which includes oral tradition, oral performance, personal and collective memory, ancient literacy and scribal practice and philosophy, visual culture, and ritual. The dictionary does more than touch upon these topics; it engages with issues surrounding critical and exegetical problems in biblical studies, rabbinical studies, studies of the history of Israel, and questions as to the origin of the Christian movement. This massive undertaking is spread out over 504 pages consisting of entries written by more than 120 contributors with high academic and publishing credentials in their respective fields of expertise. This all makes DBAM a very impressive and useful tool for modern Bible translation and Scripture engagement practitioners who want to get up to speed with the discussion in this field in a way that links theory with different fields of biblical studies. The demand for information on communicative strategies and the plausible filling out of details that were ignored or not sufficiently focused on in the written translation paradigm have increased exponentially in our day and age. Modern translation practice from a skopos theory perspective results in the demand for different types of translation (e.g., modernized children’s Bibles, basic language, illustrative translation, video, audio) where visuals as well as cultural understanding of the form of communication of ancient texts, the socio-cultural matrix of the ancient audience, and the tacit rules of engagement have become more and more important.

To say that in 2 Sam 8.18 we should translate “priests” because we translate from the Hebrew and this is what the Hebrew says, so that other renderings are incorrect, is a valid response.

This variant is the reading supported by the earliest extant witnesses (P46 B), the more difficult reading, and the reading that best explains the origin of the other readings. Scholars who have viewed the reading as a palpable error are likely misreading the variant in the same manner that prompted early scribes to omit the ἅμα. This earliest attested reading supports Tischendorf's punctuation of the verse, the translation adopted by many major English versions, and the structure and exegesis of the passage affirmed by most recent commentaries. These versions and commentaries demonstrate how suitable this reading is in this context.

De Regt argues that it should be translated as it stands, as another quiet criticism of David’s rule—that he even attempted to take charge of the priesthood. In a move away from a long-standing convention, the editors of the Nestle–Aland twenty-eighth edition and the UBS fifth edition of the Greek New Testament have made some thirty-four changes to the previously printed text, all in the Catholic Epistles and all based on readings which were approved in volume 4 of the Editio Critica Maior. Vilson Scholz has done all translators a favour by examining many of these places and deciding that in half of them, the change in text has some implication for translators and revisers. Technical Papers in this issue cover a wide range of specializations: interpretation, textual issues, and close examination of texts from both Testaments. Interpretation of sermons in church services is different in a number of ways from Bible translation. And yet there are many points of convergence. Simon Mlundi presents the results of a study based on interviews with both participants and audience members which highlights features considered desirable in a “good interpretation.” These show remarkable overlap with features often discussed as desirable in Bible translations. But the paper also urges greater attention to professional development for church interpreters, which echoes the need for professional training of translators.

It is important for Bible translators to ensure that the translated text takes account of the genre of the source text and that an appropriate genre from the receptor culture is employed. The book of Ruth is generally recognized as a story. Yet, the translation of Ruth 1.1 into three Akan dialects—Asante, Akuapem, and Fante—does not introduce what follows in the book as a story and so Akan readers may not correctly interpret Ruth as a story. It is against this backdrop that this paper examines storytelling elements in the book of Ruth through a discourse analysis and then offers an alternative Akan translation of Ruth 1.1 that will lead to an improved interpretation and appropriate application of the message of the book.","PeriodicalId":354951,"journal":{"name":"The Bible Translator","volume":"17 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2021-12-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"122575781","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}
