The Greek terms that are translated into English as «preach» or «proclaim» are regularly rendered into Aari as «speaking the word of salvation.» (Source: Loren Bliese)
Other languages (back-) translate it in the following manner:
- Mandarin Chinese: chuándào/傳道 or «hand down the Way [or: the Logos]»)
- Kekchí: «declare the word»
- Kpelle: «speak God’s word»
- Tzeltal: «he explains, they hear» («the goal of all preachers»)
- Copainalá Zoque: «a preacher is ‘one who speaks-scatters'» (a figure based on the scattering of seed in the process of sowing) (source for this and above: Bratcher / Nida)
- Shilluk: «declare the word of of God» (source: Nida 1964, p. 237)
In Luang it is translated with different shades of meaning:
- For Acts 9:20, 10:42: nakotnohora: «talk about» («The generic term for preaching.»)
- For Acts 8:4, 8:5, 8:25: rodkiota-ralde’etnohora — «bring words, give news about.» («This term is used when the preacher is moving from place to place to preach.»)
