Hi there everyone. I thought it would be interesting if I posted some names of God and some Bible names, as I know them in my home langauge.

I speak Afrikaans, which is a language which was formed from Dutch. The language formed approximately over 150 years as the Dutch and French people occupied Southern Africa, I may be wrong with the exact details, but God knows for sure.


Well here goes. Take note the pronuncutation is totally different.

Jesus in Afrikaans is Jesus
God in Afrikaans is God
Lord in Afrikaans is Here
Father in Afrikaans is Vader
Son of God in Afrikaans is Seun van God
Holy Spirit in Afrikaans is Heilige Gees
Creator in Afrikaans is Skepper
Apostles in Afrikaans is Apostels
Disciples in Afrikaans is Dissipels
Angel in Afrikaans is Engel
Bible in Afrikaans is Bybel

That's just a few words that come to mind. I hope to see some of your words if you speak a language other than English.

God bless
Much love

I thought I'd post again to see if anyone else has some contributions, it's been a while since I posted this.

God bless
 
Ek reageer op jou vraag nie omdat ek enige bydrae het nie maar omdat ek baie bly is om te hoor jy praat afrikaans. Ek woon in Suid Afrika en is 'n gebore Suid Afrikaner. Dit is al so alledaags om engels te praat dat dit goed voel om my moedertaal te gebruik.

'n Kort aanmoediging vir jou:

Die ewige God het Sy Geliefde Seun, Christus Jesus gegee om daagliks oor jou te waak, al wat jy nodig het om te doen is om te vertrou.

Baie seen vir jou!!
 
Hello Ann,

Ek praat Afrikaans en ek is bly om Afrikaans te kan praat.

Hierdie forum is meestal Engels en ek het gehoop om 'n reaksie te kry, sodat meer mense kan deel wat die Here in hulle eie moeder taal is.

Baie dankie vir die seëning, ek waardeer dit.

As jy ooit alleen voel of iemand soek om mee te gesels, stuur vir my 'n privaat boodskap.

Mag die Here jou seën
Baie Liefde
Faithful Son

I love the jewish culture, and here is a couple of things I've learnt.

The Holy Spirit = Ruach Hakkodesh

The spirit of the Lord God = Ruach Adonai Adonai

Alpha and Omega = Aleph v'Tav ( ah-lef ve TAHV )

Abba = Father

All sufficient God = El Shaddai

Consuming Fire = Esh Okhlah

God bless,
 
Faithful Son, cool thread and I like how the others joined in with their language too ;)

Well, my family is Lebanese so I don't know how I can type up the arabic here since it is not written in common english letterings.
