Strong's Lexicon metherméneuó: To translate, to interpret Original Word: μεθερμηνεύω Word Origin: From μετά (meta, meaning "after" or "beyond") and ἑρμηνεύω (hermeneuó, meaning "to interpret" or "to translate") Corresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: While there is no direct Hebrew equivalent for μεθερμηνεύω, the concept of translation and interpretation is present in the Hebrew Bible. The role of interpreters is seen in passages like Genesis 42:23, where Joseph uses an interpreter to communicate with his brothers. Usage: The Greek verb μεθερμηνεύω (metherméneuó) is used in the New Testament to denote the act of translating or interpreting from one language to another. It implies a careful and accurate rendering of words or phrases to convey the intended meaning in a different linguistic context. This term is often used in the context of translating names or phrases from Hebrew or Aramaic into Greek. Cultural and Historical Background: In the first-century Greco-Roman world, multilingualism was common, especially in regions like Judea where Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek were widely spoken. The need for translation and interpretation was significant in both religious and secular contexts. Jewish communities, in particular, required translations of Hebrew Scriptures into Greek, known as the Septuagint, to accommodate Hellenistic Jews who were more familiar with Greek than Hebrew. The role of interpreters was crucial in ensuring that the sacred texts and teachings were accessible to a broader audience.
