In this podcast we bravely talk about the latter, go deep into biblical studies, and seek to treasure and understand the Bible together. It's for people who want to get nerdy about Scripture and for those who want to understand how their translations came to be. Everything from history to Hebrew, we're on a quest to learn more and make beautiful translations of God's Word. We believe the Bible is a unified, God-breathed, God-centered, hope-giving book, sweeter than honey, pointing to Jesus.","last_synced_at":"2026-07-12T00:18:15.271192+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/working-for-the-word-a-bible-translation-podcast-607651"},"episode":{"title":"Part 11 - Pronouncing & Translating the Divine Name - Translating YHWH around the World","slug":"part-11-pronouncing-translating-the-divine-name-translating-yhwh-around-the-world","published_at":"2026-02-11T14:04:00+00:00","page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/working-for-the-word-a-bible-translation-podcast-607651/part-11-pronouncing-translating-the-divine-name-translating-yhwh-around-the-world","show_page_url":"https://stenobird.com/podcast/working-for-the-word-a-bible-translation-podcast-607651","url":"https://podcasters.spotify.com/pod/show/workingfortheword/episodes/Part-11---Pronouncing--Translating-the-Divine-Name---Translating-YHWH-around-the-World-e3es9d0","audio_url":"https://anchor.fm/s/f3aad54/podcast/play/115270496/https%3A%2F%2Fd3ctxlq1ktw2nl.cloudfront.net%2Fstaging%2F2026-1-9%2F417789093-44100-2-f5c1fbe79eebe.m4a","summary":"⁠⁠⁠Get the free book.⁠⁠ A 1992 United Bible Societies study group identified sixbroad options for translating the divine name which continue to frame thediscussion: 1. transliterate the name (adapting “Yahweh” or an established form like “Jehovah”) 2. substitute a title such as the equivalent of “Lord” (followingSeptuagint and NT practice of using kurios ) 3. translate the meaning of YHWH (e.g. “Eternal One”) 4. use a culture-specific name for the Supreme Being 5. render YHWH the same way as the generic word for “God” 6. employ a combination of these strategies [1] In practice, modern Bible translators have employed all ofthe above methods in various languages, balancing linguistic constraints andcultural context. This chapter examines the way many other languages besidesEnglish have rendered YHWH.
