Prostrate in Bible Vs Quran (1) the translation of the original word

This article presents the translation of one easy Hebrew word.

The article shows that 95% of the Eminent Biblical Scholars are untruthful in their translation.

The Hebrew word of this article is הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ

The Word root: שָׁחָה

The Word Strong’s Number is 7812 (Strong’s Hebrew Dictionary)

The Word meaning is: To prostrate or to bow down.

In the original Hebrew verse of 1 Chronicles 16:29 says:

הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ לַיהוָ֖ה = הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ Yahweh = הִשְׁתַּחֲו֥וּ Jehovah = Prostrate to Jehovah = Bow down to Jehovah.

O Eminent Biblical Scholars, are these two words too difficult to translate?

Study of 20 different English versions of the Bible reveals that only one version (5%) translates the two Hebrew words correctly.

On the other hand, 19 0ut of the 20 (95%) versions studied translate the two Hebrew words to Worship the LORD (Lord) in 16 versions and Worship Jehovah in two versions.

Translation has played and plays a key role in the development of world culture. It is common to think of culture as national and totally distinct. If we start to analyze the impact of literary translation, the possibility of communication beyond anything so confined by geographical location is clear.

A history of world culture from the appearance of translation reveals a constant movement of ideas and forms, of cultures constantly absorbing new influences because of the work of translators. It dispels the assumption that everything starts in the West and undermines the intent of rigid boundaries between East and West. India, China, Iraq and Spain have in different ways shaped European culture. India created ties with the Mediterranean in the sixth century BC and medical theories found in Greek thinkers like Plato and anatomist originated from India. In ninth and tenth century Baghdad, the scientific and philosophical works of Ancient Greece were translated into Arabic and this learning spread to Europe via Spain which was virtually a Muslim country from the primeval eighth century for four hundred years.

The transmission reached it peak through the School of Toledo where translations were prefabricated from Arabic to Latin and later to Spanish and helped the scientific and technological development for the European Renaissance. A history of translation charts these intersections. They might be rooted in violent historical conflict and imperial expansions but it is never a easy process of translation for appropriation.

Some of the history of translation is well-charted – the translation of the Bible, the work of missionaries, the Orientalist translators in India – but there remain vast unknown territories. Scholars have recently begun to write about the role of individual translators and of individual translators. Translators like Constance Garnett in England or Gregory Rabassa in the United Says have been responsible for transforming writing in English by their respective translations of Russian and Latin American fiction. In the wake of new political freedom in Eastern Europe have come translations of best-selling American and English authors. The history of translation is the history of the crucial but often invisible intersections in world culture.

Translation was a prestigious activity in Britain in the Eighteenth Century, and the field was divided into two distinct areas: translation from the classics (focusing on Latin and Greek authors) which was a male-dominated territory, and translation from modern languages (French, German, Italian and Spanish) which was one of the few literary genres open to women. Yet, there were some significant exceptions in the area of the classics.

Translators and their work occupy a central space in translation theory: in current years translation studies has been increasingly drawing attention to their crucial mediation. Skopostheorie is a case in point. In spite of the fact that the communicative purpose of translation activities is the central preoccupation of this approach, Hans Vermeer has brought attention to the degree of freedom, on the one hand, and of responsibility, on the other, that bears on language mediators (Vermeer 1998: 54). Translators are presented as the experts who should design and implement those strategies which enable them to achieve their objective, i.e. their skopos. This line of thought takes translators to the centre of the stage, and yet it also involves a certain amount of risk: the notion of “accountability” is the other side of the coin, as translators might be considered responsible for the consequences of their performance. Thus, it is no coincidence that ethical debates are flourishing in translation studies (Pym 2001; Chesterman 2001).

In an increasingly demanding global market, translation is probably one of the most fast growing industries. Over the past two decades, many companies have moved into Dubai and continue to do so. The need for calibre translation is therefore essential to keep your company up there as a global enterprise. Before setting out to purchase good calibre translation in Dubai, you need to make sure that you know what you are looking for and exactly how you want that to be translated to your market.

Dubai can offer good, professional and expert calibre translation as long as you are careful to look at a cross section of translation companies before making your choice. Be choosy and don’t just go for cheap. It won’t be economical in the long run. All translation companies in Dubai should only employ translators who are proficient in both English and their own Arabic language and have a complete understanding of the concept of apiece language. This means that, during translation, the polyglot can interpret the meaning of the text and convey that message accurately when translated. Never has the phrase “lost in translation” been more relevant than when something goes wrong. All languages differ in specific ways and, even though some words in Arabic can be literally translated many words and phrases can carry very different meanings.  A mistranslation can not only result in the potential loss of business in Dubai and the subsequent loss of revenue, it can cause enormous offence, so check out first.

After the completion of the work you have submitted to the translation company make sure you check it before accepting the final product. Most translation companies who take a pride in calibre in Dubai will place great emphasis upon the final product (they too have a reputation to uphold and a business to run) so check that they have a good proof reading artefact that is double checked after the translation.

It is important for translation companies to place calibre as their prime target so that translation is uniform within the company, for instance, some translators vary their phrasing within the same information. A good translation company will ensure that translation memory software is constantly updated and that the translators conform to the in-house terms that meet the needs of the client and correctly translate.

Of course, no matter how good the calibre of the translation company you use in Dubai, the completed product will only be as good as the original document, so make sure you are happy with it before you submit it for translation.
