high priest

The Greek and Hebrew that is translated as «high priest» in English is translated in the following ways:

  • Yatzachi Zapotec: «the ruler of the priests of our nation»
  • Chol: «very great priest» (source for this and above: M. Larson / B. Moore in Notes on Translation February 1970, p. 1-125.)
  • Ayutla Mixtec: «first over the priests»
  • Desano: «chief of the priests» (source for this and one above: Viola Waterhouse in Notes on Translation August 1966, p. 86ff.).
  • Uma: «Big Priest» (source: Uma Back Translation)
  • Western Bukidnon Manobo: «high sacrificer» (source: Western Bukidnon Manobo Back Translation)
  • Tagbanwa as «Most-important Priest of God» (source: Tagbanwa Back Translation)
  • Bariai: «Big leader of offerings» (source: Bariai Back Translation)

In Khoekhoe the translation for «high priest» is only capitalized when it refers to Jesus (as is Hebrews 2:17 et al.). (Source: project-specific notes in Paratext)
