Term: save yourself and us

save yourself and us

The Greek that is translated as “save yourself and us” in English has to be translated in a more differentiated manner in languages that use honorific forms. In Balinese, for instance, the translation is “save your life (honorific) and the life (non-honorific) of the two of us.”

Language: Balinese

Verse: Luke 23:39

Source: Reiling / Swellengrebel (UBS Helps for Translators) 1971
