  • OSIS™ 2.1.1 User's Manual
    OSIS Users Manual (OSIS Schema 2.1.1) By Patrick Durusau [email protected] On Behalf of the American Bible Society © American Bible Society, 2006 1 Foreword The OSIS Users Manual is the result of years of effort by organizations and individuals who have generously donated their support and time to taking the delivery of the Bible into the 21st century. Its subject is the use of the OSIS schema, a means to put Bibles into the lingua franca of modern computers, XML (Extensible Markup Language). Once a Bible is in XML, effective delivery in whole or part in a variety of formats (print, WWW, cellphones, etc.) and use of Bible portions in a variety of contexts becomes possible for all organizations and individuals. This users manual is a guide to the 2.1.1 version of the OSIS schema. Be aware that the OSIS schema continues to evolve and work on OSIS 2.5 is currently underway. Future changes to the schema will be backwards compatible so any documents prepared following this guide will continue to be valid in the future. The OSIS development team closely studied previous Bible encoding forms, as well as tools for literary encoding in general. By doing this we hope we have avoided some weaknesses, and gained from some strengths, of each one, and we thank the many people who worked on those prior specifications, as well as those who have provided help and feedback in developing OSIS itself, and testing it by encoding large numbers of Biblical and related texts. Users familiar with the Text Encoding Initiative will find OSIS markup quite familiar, because the bulk of the elements we define correspond directly to TEI elements, and almost always have the same name (though often simplified).

  • 'Lost in Translations'
    St Peter’s College 2017 – Bill Goodman ‘Lost in Translations’ Which Bible Shall We Read? How Do Bible Translators Work? Today we have numerous different Bible translations in English. The translators tend to use two different approaches: - Literal – try to translate the exact words and phrases of the original language. A ‘word-for-word’ approach; also known as ‘Formal Equivalence’. - Dynamic – try to translate the thoughts and ideas of the original text. Update words, idioms and grammar by finding equivalents in the receptor language. An ‘idea-for-idea’ approach; also known as ‘Functional Equivalence’. For examples of the difference, compare different translations of Mark 15:33 (in NT times, what we call ‘noon’ was ‘the sixth hour’) or Phil. 1:8 (literally ‘bowels’, understood to be where compassion arises). Most translations use both approaches, but prefer one more strongly than the other. The box below gives a rough guide to which way each of the most commonly available versions leans. Which Translation is Which Type? Formal Equivalence Functional Equivalence (‘word-for-word’) (‘idea-for-idea’) KJV&NKJV RSV&NRSV NIV&TNIV NIrV GNB CEV NLT LB NASBu ESV ISV JPS REB NEB CEB NETbib NJB JB NCV Message Abbreviations (‘--------’ indicates a family connection, usually a revision) CEB = Common English Bible CEV = Contemporary English Version GNB = Good News Bible (originally called Today’s English Version) ISV = International Standard Version JB = Jerusalem Bible ------------------------ NJB = New Jerusalem Bible JPS = Jewish Publication Society

  • Domestication and Foreignisation in Dubbing and Subtitling of Duncan Jones‟ English Movie Warcraft Into Persian [PP: 162-170] Dr
    Domestication and Foreignisation in Dubbing and Subtitling of Duncan Jones‟ English Movie Warcraft into Persian [PP: 162-170] Dr. Razieh Eslamieh Nillofar Javankhah Islamic Azad University, Parand Branch Iran ABSTRACT The present paper studies diverse procedures related to Venuti‟s strategies of domestication and foreignisation in Farsi dubbing and subtitling of the English movie, Warcraft directed by Duncan Jones. The procedures of both domestication and foreignisation were studied and statically analysed for the purpose of exploring the film translation method (dubbing or subtitling) which is closer to target- language-culture and the one which is closer to source-language-culture. In other words it was intended to explore which translation strategy (domestication or foreignisation) dominates dubbing and which one dominates subtitling. The tertiary purpose was to compare the reasons of differences in dubbing versus subtitling on the one hand, and the reasons of differences of the target text from the source text. The statistical analysis revealed that in dubbing, cultural equivalence is the most frequently used procedure (38.26%) apparently for making the movie visible for the public Iranian audience and adjust the movie to cultural considerations. Henceforth, dubbing orients to domestication. However, subtitling, with literal translation as the most frequently used procedure (57.4%), orients to foreignisation. In dubbing of the movie, most differences are related to cultural equivalence (38.26%) and the literal translation (29.56%) is in the next step. An interesting point is that the procedure of calque is neither used in subtitling nor in dubbing. In subtitling, cultural equivalence stands in the second place (17.34) and explanation (9.50%) occupies the third place.

  • THE ISSUE of REBAPTISM at Issue Is How We Are to Understand the Purpose of Baptism As Well As the Mode of Baptism
    THE ISSUE OF REBAPTISM At issue is how we are to understand the purpose of baptism as well as the mode of baptism. If baptism if for the purpose of receiving forgiveness from God for past sins, then one does not have salvation prior to baptism - because salvation cannot be granted us while we are still in our sinful state. If baptism is not for the purpose of receiving forgiveness for past sins, then it is not essential to salvation because our sinful state was changed prior to baptism. In this case, baptism is understood as a required rite, but one that only "testifies" to the forgiveness, acceptance, that God has already granted us. One key text in this discussion (but not the only one) is Acts 2:38. Below are several English translation renderings of this text. King James Version - "for the remission of sins. American Standard Version - "unto the remission of sins. New King James Version - "for the remission of sins." New International Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Revised Standard Version - "for the forgiveness of your sins." New Revised Standard Version - "so that your sins may be forgiven." New American Standard Bible - " for the forgiveness of your sins." World English Bible - "for the forgiveness of sins." Bible in Basic English - "for the forgiveness of your sins." Contemporary English Version - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Good News Bible - "so that your sins will be forgiven." God's Word - "so that your sins will be forgiven." Young's Literal Translation - "to remission of sins." Modern King James Version

    BIBLE TRANSLATION CHART CHOOSING A BIBLE TRANSLATION The original documents When the documents that make up the Bible were first written, they captured exactly what God wanted to say in the languages that ordinary people spoke. There was no friction between perceiving the form or structure of the text and perceiving the meaning of the text. The original audience experienced a unique combination of both ingredients—represented by the red dot in the top right corner of the of the original reflecting the diagram. original form formal But Bible readers today can’t experience this combination any more. The Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic texts still show us the form and reading structure of the original but most of us can’t understand what they mean. As English speakers, we need translations, and we’re privileged to equivalence experience have access to a wide variety of options that fall into three broad groups. Tending to the upper left corner of the diagram, the first group—represented by the green oval and known to scholars as formal equivalence translations—places a particularly high priority on reproducing the form and structure of the original. This approach allows modern Bible readers to perceive many of the important details and subtleties in the text.

  • The Rapture Debate Jesus Was Born in a Small Village
    The Rapture Debate Jesus was born in a small village outside of Jesusalem called Bethlehem, presumambly the son of Mary and Joseph who themselves were descendants of King David. The ancient Hebrew prophets had long before written many things concerning Jesus. Hundreds of specific statements are found throughout the Hebrew scriptures that speak with clarity and authority hundreds of years before His birth. Soon after birth, Jesus lived for a short time in Egypt and then most of His life in northern Israel in the hill country of Galilee. At about thirty years of age, Jesus began a public ministry mostly in the area around the Sea of Galilee with an occasional appearance in Jerusalem and elsewhere. Around Him was gathered a close group of 12 men while many others often flocked to be near Him as well. These early seekers listened to words of wisdom, instruction in righteousness (often not the typical traditional line) and were witness to countless miracles of healings, casting out demons, and even raising of the dead. He taught both privately and out in the open, even teaching in the Hebrew Synagogues. Often, Jesus was found in conflict with religious authorities, especially when He traveled to Jerusalem. Despite a constant display of kindness, love, and compassion, Jesus was accused of many things; violating the Sabbath, organizing rebellion against Rome and repeatedly claiming that God was His Father (blasphemy). The establishment would have none of it though many regular folks thought otherwise. To them, this just might be the long- awaited Messiah, the king so clearly written of by the prophets.

  • On the Subtitle Translation of Mirror Mirror from Relevance Theory
    American Research Journal of English and Literature Original Article ISSN 2378-9026 Volume 1, Issue 3, June-2015 On The Subtitle Translation of Mirror Mirror from Relevance Theory Han Cui-ping1, Ni Xue-li Yangtze University, College of Arts and Science (Jingzhou. Hubei，434020) Abstract: The popularity of foreign audio-visual products facilitates exchanges and communication among various cultures, and recent years have seen an increasing number of films distributed in foreign markets, which naturally leads to the prosperity of subtitle translation. This thesis selects the film Mirror Mirror as a case to analyze film subtitle translation strategies in the perspective of relevance theory. It consists of five parts: Part One offers a brief introduction to the research background and issues together with thesis structure. Partr Two offers some theories of Relevance Theory and relationship between relevance theory and subtitle translation. Part Three focuses a study on the subtitle translation strategies of Mirror Mirror from the perspective of relevance theory in which a detailed analysis of the difficult problems and response strategies will be made. Part Four is the conclusion. The thesis is an attempt to prove that Relevance Theory can be well applied in subtitle translation to guide the translation activity and improve the quality of subtitle translation. Keywords: Subtitle translation; Relevance Theory; Mirror Mirror; translation strategies. I. INTRODUCTION Throughout the translation history, equivalence has been regarded as the vital standard for a very long time. Nevertheless, with translation fields have become more and more colorful and diversity, such as film subtitle translation, business translation and advertising translation, the limitations of these translations rules have gradually turned up.

  • The Importation of the Holy Quran Into English: Governing Factors in the Translating Process
    AWEJ. Special Issue on Translation No.3 May, 2014 Pp. 95 - 104 The Importation of the Holy Quran into English: Governing Factors in the Translating Process Abobaker Ali M. Alsaleh Brakhw Universiti Utara Malaysia Sharifah Fazliyaton Shaik Ismail Universiti Utara Malaysia Abstract The current paper reviews briefly the literature on the translation of Holy Quran and articulates several factors that influenced the process of translating it. These factors are linguistic, stylistic, and personal. The first two refer to the inimitable style of the Holy Quran and the figurative speech employed in its structure, while personal factors are related to the knowledge and ideology of the translator. This paper seeks to establish a theoretical understanding of the factors that governed and shaped the translations of the Holy Quran to open arenas for future investigation of its translations, specifically the English translations, and provide suggestions to overcome the limitations of the translations. Keywords: Factors, language, meaning, Quran, translation Arab World English Journal www.awej.org 95 ISSN: 2229-9327 AWEJ. Special Issue on Translation No.3 May, 2014 The Importation of the Holy Quran into English Brakhw & Ismail Introduction One of the most noticeable developments of Quranic exegesis in the Muslim world is the upsurge of the translations of the Holy Quran in the twentieth century. In fact, the Index Translationum (http://unesco.org/culture/xtrans/) statistics indicate that the Holy Quran has been translated into more than twenty languages, including major European languages, such as English, French, Germany, Italian, Spanish, Norwegian and Asian languages, for instance, Urdu, Malayalam, Japanese, Korean, Indonesian, and Malay.
