silent / say nothing

The Hebrew and Greek that is translated as “silent” or “say nothing” in English is translated in the Protestant Mandarin Chinese Union Version with two historical Chinese idioms: mòmò wúshēng (默默無聲 / 默默无声) or mòmò bùyán (默默不言), both “silent (lit. “quiet – no sound [or: words]”). (Source: Toshikazu S. Foley in Hong Kong Journal of Catholic Studies, 2011, p. 45ff.)
