what's the difference between alleluijja and halleluija and why can't I spell either?

Answer 1

"Hallelujah" is the English transliteration of the Hebrew expression "haleluYah", meaning “praise Jah,” or “praise Jah, you people.”

"Jah" is a poetic shortened form of the name of God, Jehovah. It appears in the Bible more than 50 times, often as part of the expression “Hallelujah.”

Answer 2

You have very keen observation, and I wish all have that too, but unfortunately, most people don't seem to have it. I grew up with Buddhist and Catholic influences, and so I've seen so many of the exact same rituals from the both sides. For example, use of cross, rosaries in prayers, monasteries, Celibate Monks and priests and nuns, repeating prayers over and over, wearing ropes and hats and the list goes on and on, even the doctrines like heaven and hell fire and trinity and etc. The reason is both religions are controlled by the same person and the other religions too including witchcraft controlled by the same one. And he is Satan the devil. There is only one true religion in this world and they don't have all these rituals. If you get to know them you'll see they are different. And they do get persecuted by all other religions at this present time, but it won't be too long before God destroys all false religions. If you do care to find out the true religion the best thing to do is ask God yourself for the direction and be ready to follow and wait for his direction. If God sees your truthfulness in your heart, he'll direct you to the true religion. And when you meet them you'll see they have the truth if your heart is longing for the truth. And you will see they do have the true love in them.

Answer 3

Well, from what I know of the different spellings of that word, you're right--you can't spell either. However, if you applied yourself to learn the spellings, you will be able to spell them!

Hallelujah (and alleluia and other variations) is a Hebrew word meaning "praise God" or "praise Yah (Yahweh)". Hebrew uses a different alphabet from us, so the words are transliterated into the Roman alphabet that we English speakers use. On top of that, the letters of the Hebrew alphabet are consonants only; certain dots above the consonants determine the vowel sound.

If you look through different translations of the Bible, you'll find that different words and names might be rendered different ways. For example, what's Elias in one English Bible translation will be Elijah in another.

It's not just a matter of transliterations of letters and sounds, but of words themselves changing as we shift from one language to another. For example, the Hebrew name Y'shua is translated Joshua from Hebrew to English. However, when the name Y'shua goes from Hebrew to Greek to English, we get Jesus.

Answer 4

The difference is the way they're spelled (grin) - they both mean the same thing (praise God).
But, since they're both a transliteration of the word from the original laguage - as long as it sounds right it's spelled right, so no worries.

Answer 5

Hallelujah, Halleluyah, or Alleluia, is a transliteration of the Hebrew word הַלְלוּיָהּ. it's found mainly in the book of Psalms and has a similar pronunciation in many, but not all, languages. The word is used in Judaism as part of the Hallel prayers, and in Christian praise. It has been accepted into the English language, but its Latin form Alleluia is used by many English-speaking Christians in preference to Hallelujah.

Answer 6

Hallelujah is the Hebrew word being translated directly into English.

Alleluia is the Hebrew word translated first into Greek, then Latin then English.
