2. translate (a name) — To translate or render a word or name from one language into another. Used specifically of translating the name Tabitha/Dorcas in Acts 9:36 (διερμηνευομένη, passive participle). The multilingual glosses emphasize linguistic translation rather than interpretive exposition: Arabic مترجمة, Hindi अनुवादित होकर, Korean 해석한 대로, Spanish traducida. This sense is distinguished from spiritual/prophetic interpretation by its focus on bilingual equivalence. 1×
