There were at least 80 biblical words that were mistranslated into english. Sometimes it was because the other languages do not have the same things as english. Sometimes the translator did not want to translate it because it did not sound good in english, so other words came about that fit the english language better. We wrote some of them so you would get to know what Our Heavenly Father wanted them to be, and what the meaning is for other counties.
The word Amen from the Hebrew bible means I agree, or that is so.
One of the most used words in the world is also a word that translates as itself in many languages. It’s composed of just three Hebrew letters and although it is short, it famously carries a profound meaning as one of the Bible’s most powerful statements of faith.
The Greek amēn and
The ecclesiastical Latin amēn – adopted in the Septuagint as a solemn expression of belief or affirmation.
Amen in Aramic is Aman; the meaning of this is Honest, Trustworthy, and Faithful.
Amen in Syrian is Amin; it is a declaration of affirmation.
Amen in the Jewish Language is amen, meaning faith.
Amen in the english language means so be it, or an expression of truth or to offer blessings at the end of a prayer or conversation.
Our Heavenly Father did not mean for the way the english language interpreted this word.
Some other languages use the word amen as to say, back in the beginning.
These are the meanings of the word Amen in the most common biblical languages. As we go through this week you will learn the differences of these words that are mistranslated in english, the other countries are not so much like this. This is just one word that is mistranslated of the 80.
Many languages use the word amen with different meanings, you just have to be careful how you use it.
2 Kings 18:26
Then said Eliakim the son of Hilkiah, and Shebna, and Joah, unto Rabshakeh, Speak, I pray thee, to thy servants in the Syrian language; for we understand it: and talk not with us in the Jews’ language in the ears of the people that are on the wall.
Nehemiah 13:24
And their children spake half in the speech of Ashdod, and could not speak in the Jews’ language, but according to the language of each people.
Daniel 5:15
And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
Comment; Now that you know most of the languages that are common in the bible and how things are interpreted by the interpreters, as you can see the bible for english needs a lot of work on the words that were misinterpreted, because it throws off the rest of the world. This is one of 80 words misinterpreted into english.
Closing Prayer; Heavenly Father we pray that the people reading this lesson will understand it, but we also pray that they get some, joy, peace and laughter. That they do not just use the word because they are used to it, but use it so they know the meaning of it. We pray that they get some joy and peace and understand each interpretation. We pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.
If you have access online look up all the different languages and what the biblical word means in the languages, and you will find that American english is the worst language of interpretation, but as we said above it was for good sound, but Hebrew does not have certain pronouns, nouns, and verbs, so that is part of the problem. We hope you enjoy this one day lesson on Amen, and throughout the week we will let you see what Our Heavenly Father meant some of these words to be, but it is not like that in American english.
For those who wish to become a child of Our Heavenly Father or wish to be stronger in his eyes, please say the following prayer below.
Dear Heavenly Father, I know I’m a sinner, and I ask for your forgiveness. I believe Jesus Christ is Your Son. I believe that He died for my sin and that you raised Him to life. I want to trust Him as my Savior and follow Him as Lord, from this day forward. Guide my life and help me to do your will. I pray this in the name of Jesus. Amen.”
