I need to translate 4 words into Greek.The kind of Greek that Jesus would have use in His time.?

Question

Does anyone know somebody who can help translate it or show me a book that covers this kind of thing. The only four things I want translated are

God's Love
God's Truth
God's Strength
God's Righteousness

Is there anyone that can help me? And don't try to screw me over, I'm having this check to make sure it's 100% right.

Answer 1

The Greek word for divine love is "agape"
The Greek word for truth is "aletheia"
The Greek word for strength is "ischus"
THe Greek word for righteousness is "dikaiosune"
Please check with a Young's or Strong's concordance.

You can also check several Greek translations at

look for Koine Greek

Answer 2

Here is the problem with your question. It is going to be very hard to translate accurately what you want for a few reasons here's why
1. Even though the languages of the day in Jesus time were Heberw, Aramaic, and Greek, Christ spoke all 3, but since all 3 languages have been in the region for a while, the language starts to change, the Aramaic and Greek starts to take on Hebraic foundation, so where people spoke Greek alot of the Greek spoke was formed off of Hebrew root words.

2. Over centuries, language changes, look at our own language there was a time when bad only meant, not good, know it means a variety of things, but mostly very cool.

3.the word love in the Greek is going to be very hard to interpret because unlike our word for love, the greek has 12 different words for love. Each it's own type. So you would have to know in what context the word is being used. Also there are several different word inthe Greek and Hebrew for God, each with it's own definition of what God is and who He is, so you would have to know what term is being used.

I'd suggest you get a Strong's concordance or an International Standard Bible Encyclopedia to help you with this one.

Answer 3

"Jesus did not speak Greek dear..." and all the similar remarks.

While it is true that he did not teach in Greek to say that Jesus could not speak Greek is preposterous. First, he is God and can speak whatever he wants. Second, Virtually everyone in that time spoke some Greek as it was a very common language in most of the known world. It was the universal language, like English is today.

"Theou eros"

Eros is sensual love in Greek. It is never used in describing God's love.

"The gospels originally like saint Matthew were written in aramic."

No, they were written in Greek, all of them. None of the new testament was written n Aramaic.

Regarding your original question. You will get dozens of varying responses with people trying to look up a word here and a phrase there thinking they understand a language that requires a lifetime to truly understand. None of them will be correct because you start from an erroneous supposition. That your English words and their meaning somehow can be simply translated. All of these phrases would be answered differently depending on the usage of the passage. Greek is like that, and Koine Greek is very much like that. You are thinking in English and the people 2000 years ago were thinking in Greek, Mistranslations of the original Greek is everywhere. English bibles are all over the place with what the original Greek means. Your question while it sounds simple cannot be answered because it is out of context and without context there can be no simple answer.

Answer 4

I found the translation for them, but the key board won't type the correct characters. So, go to " Free Online Translators ", type in the English words one at a time & the Greek will come up, after you select English to Greek.

Answer 5

Well, Jesus didn't use Greek but many of the original manuscripts are in Greek.
A great place to get you original words is here

Answer 6

Your best bet is to find a Greek to English Bible and compare the phrases in the New testament. Or try to contact a Greek pastor or clergy. Good luck.

Answer 7

I'm sure you can find the greek translation of the phrases you want but Jesus never spoke greek in his time, that would have been hebrew or aramaic.

Answer 8

Jesus didnt speak greek.. the gospels originally like saint matthew were written in aramic.. but later they were translated in greek.. the original lost in the time.. only survived the greek translations

Answer 9

Jesus, if he existed would not have spoken Greek.

Good grief, get a grip. I would concentrate on my basic education rather than trying to translate something anal retentive, into the wrong language.

Quite sad really.

Answer 10

Go to Microsoft Word, type in the phrases, right click, select Translate, go to side menu, use drop down menu to select English to Greek.

Done.
