The Greek and Ge’ez that is translated «scripture» or «scriptures» in English is translated as «God’s word which people wrote» in Guerrero Amuzgo (source: M. Larson / B. Moore in Notes on Translation February 1970, p. 1-125), «paper writings» in Copainalá Zoque (source: B. Moore / G. Turner in Notes on Translation 1967, p. 1ff.), «writing that one believes» in Cherokee (putting the focus on the ones who interact with them rather the scriptures themselves) (source: Bender / Belt 2025, p. 101), and Toposa as «carved material» (source: Schröder 2026, p. 104).

For other translations of scripture see all scripture is inspired by God and examined the scriptures.
