Translation
What is translation?
Translation is tranporting a message from one place to another using a language that can be easily understood.ie from english to kiswahili or from Kiswahili to Kalenjin depending on the reader or listener.
The primary goal of translation is to make it available to the target audience.
Translation is more than just subtituting words from the source because it requires the translator to be keen and attentive to the original text without loosing the original meaning(word-word). It also requires one to have an in-depth understanding of the target language,cultural nuances and theological accuracy.
However,translation has made me understand Bible stories better while making it easy for me to interpret prophetic books without having to strain.This has since improved my point of view of scripture and participation in Biblical studies.
