Core Glossary
Core Glossary: Jude (English/Greek → Assamese)
Legend
- Status: REUSED — term already exists in the Romans baseline (
translation_memory.json); Assamese rendering is enforced exactly, no deviation permitted. - Status: NEW — term first formalized for the Jude curriculum; proposed rendering and risk tier follow the same methodology as the baseline and require the same theologian/native-speaker review routing before Phase 2 use.
- Status: EXTENDED — term exists in baseline with a scope restriction that this curriculum’s usage requires revising; flagged explicitly for theologian sign-off.
- Risk tiers (Critical/High/Medium/Low) and review routing follow the baseline’s
doctrine_risk_registry.jsondefinitions exactly.
Glossary Table
| # | English Term | Greek (transliteration) | Assamese Rendering | Assamese Transliteration | Status | Risk | First Occurrence | Notes / Rationale |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | servant / slave | δοῦλος (doulos) | দাস | das | NEW | Medium | 1:1 | Total ownership/submission to Christ; note functional parallel (not equivalence) to Vaishnavite dasya-bhava servant-devotion — clarify this is submission to the one exclusive Lord, not one devotional posture among several. |
| 2 | brother | ἀδελφός (adelphos) | ভাই | bhai | NEW | Low | 1:1 | Standard kinship term; minimal doctrinal risk. |
| 3 | called | κλητός (klētos) | মতা | matā | REUSED | High | 1:1 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. |
| 4 | beloved / love | ἀγαπάω / ἀγάπη (agapaō / agapē) | প্ৰেম (noun); প্ৰেমিত/প্ৰিয় (adj.) | prem; premitô/priyô | NEW | High | 1:1, 1:2, 1:3, 1:12, 1:21 | Not present in Romans baseline as a standalone entry. প্ৰেম is the standard Assamese word for love but carries a live collision risk: Assamese/Bengali Vaishnavism (including Sankardev’s Ekasarana tradition and the broader regional Gaudiya devotional milieu) uses প্ৰেম/প্ৰেমা extensively for cultivated devotional love (prema-bhakti) toward a chosen deity. Every occurrence must be anchored explicitly as God’s own self-giving, covenantal love (or the church’s reciprocal love), not a cultivated devotional emotion achieved through spiritual practice. Requires a distinguishing note at first occurrence, on the same model as the baseline’s mandatory incarnation/avatar note. |
| 5 | mercy | ἔλεος (eleos) | কৃপা | kripa | EXTENDED | Critical | 1:2, 1:21, 1:22, 1:23 | Baseline restricts কৃপা to “ordinary compassion/mercy in non-salvific contexts only.” Jude’s dominant doctrine (“Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering”) requires কৃপা in an explicitly salvific/eschatological sense (v.21: mercy “unto eternal life”). This document formally proposes extending কৃপা’s authorized scope for this curriculum; flagged for mandatory human theologian sign-off before Phase 2. Must still be distinguished from the Puranic pattern of a deity’s কৃপা as negotiated response to devotion/austerity — Jude’s mercy is unilateral divine initiative toward the helpless. |
| 6 | peace | εἰρήνη (eirēnē) | শান্তি | xanti | REUSED | Medium | 1:2 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. |
| 7 | contend (for the faith) | ἐπαγωνίζομαι (epagōnizomai) | সংগ্ৰাম কৰা | xôngram kôra | NEW | High | 1:3 | Doctrinal keyword for “Contending for the Faith Once Delivered.” Athletic/military struggle-imagery must be preserved; do not soften to passive “believing firmly.” |
| 8 | once for all | ἅπαξ (hapax) | এবাৰৰ babe | ebaror babe | NEW | Critical | 1:3 | Marks the deposit of faith as historically closed, non-repeatable. Must not be softened into language suggesting ongoing/evolving revelation. |
| 9 | delivered (handed down) | παραδίδωμι (paradidōmi), aorist passive participle παραδοθείσῃ | সমৰ্পিত | xomorpitô | NEW | High | 1:3 | Pairs with ἅπαξ; together render “once for all delivered.” Distinct from an open guru-lineage transmission model. |
| 10 | faith (the faith / trust) | πίστις (pistis) | বিশ্বাস | biswax | REUSED | Critical | 1:3, 1:20 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. NOTE: Jude 1:3 and 1:20 use πίστις in its objective sense (the body of doctrine/deposit), distinct from Romans’ dominant subjective trust sense. Same Assamese word is used per the hard reuse rule, but a contextual translator note distinguishing “the faith” (fixed deposit, v.3, v.20) from “faith” (personal trust) is required at first occurrence in Jude-specific materials. |
| 11 | saints | ἅγιος, plural τοῖς ἁγίοις (hagios / tois hagiois) | পবিত্ৰ লোক | pobitrô lok | REUSED | High | 1:3 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. |
| 12 | salvation (common salvation) | σωτηρία (sōtēria) | পৰিত্ৰাণ | poritran | REUSED | Critical | 1:3 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. Never মুক্তি/মোক্ষ. |
| 13 | crept in unnoticed | παρεισδύω (pareisdyō) | গোপনে সোমাই পৰা | gopone xomai pora | NEW | Medium | 1:4 | Covert infiltration by false teachers; narrative-descriptive, moderate risk. |
| 14 | ungodly / ungodliness | ἀσεβής / ἀσέβεια (asebēs / asebeia) | ঈশ্বৰহীন / ঈশ্বৰহীনতা | Iswôrhin / Iswôrhinota | NEW | High | 1:4, 1:15 (×3), 1:18 | The letter’s core moral-theological label for false teachers. Deliberately avoids ধৰ্মহীন/অধৰ্মী (ধৰ্ম-root, rejected per baseline’s righteousness entry) and ভক্তিহীন (ভক্তি-root, rejected per baseline’s faith entry). Names fundamental irreverence toward God, distinct from পাপী (“sinner,” an act-category). |
| 15 | grace | χάρις (charis) | অনুগ্ৰহ | anugrôh | REUSED | Critical/High | 1:4 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. Contrasted here with ἀσέλγεια (licentiousness) rather than works — an extension of the baseline’s grace-vs-merit contrast to grace-vs-license. |
| 16 | licentiousness / unrestrained self-indulgence | ἀσέλγεια (aselgeia) | স্বেচ্ছাচাৰিতা | swecchacarita | NEW | High | 1:4 | Broader than sexual sin alone; names shameless self-indulgent license, the specific corruption of perverted grace. |
| 17 | Sovereign Master / only Master | δεσπότης (despotēs) | অধিপতি | odhipoti | NEW | Critical | 1:4 | MUST NOT render as স্বামী — in Assamese religious usage “Swami/স্বামীজী” is the standard honorific for a Hindu monastic renunciate guru-teacher; using it here would assimilate Christ’s absolute divine ownership to guru-status, compounding the baseline’s existing apostle/guru-collision caution. Distinct Assamese word from প্ৰভু (κύριος, Lord), preserving the Greek’s stacking of two distinct authority-titles on Christ in one verse. |
| 18 | lord | κύριος (kyrios) | প্ৰভু | prôbhu | REUSED | Critical | 1:4, 1:5, 1:9, 1:14, 1:17, 1:21, 1:25 | Baseline term; enforce exactly across every occurrence. |
| 19 | deny | ἀρνέομαι (arneomai) | অস্বীকাৰ কৰা | oswikar kôra | NEW | Medium | 1:4 | Practical denial through licentious living, not only verbal denial. |
| 20 | believe | πιστεύω (pisteuō) | বিশ্বাস কৰা | biswax kôra | REUSED | High | 1:5 | Verb form of baseline বিশ্বাস (faith); enforce root consistency. |
| 21 | angel | ἄγγελος (angelos) | স্বৰ্গদূত | sôrgôdut | NEW | Medium | 1:6 | Standard Assamese Bible term for heavenly messenger-beings, distinct from generic দূত. |
| 22 | judgment | κρίσις (krisis) | বিচাৰ | bicar | NEW | High | 1:6, 1:9, 1:15 | Recurs as a major thematic term; God’s personal, forensic, once-for-all verdict — not an impersonal karmic reckoning across future rebirths. |
| 23 | eternal / everlasting | αἰώνιος / ἀΐδιος (aiōnios / aïdios) | অনন্ত | ônôntô | NEW | Critical | 1:6, 1:7, 1:13, 1:21, 1:25 | Central recurring term. Assamese Hindu/Ekasarana-Vaishnavite cosmology generally holds no eternal hell — souls are reborn/liberated across cycles (সংসাৰ). অনন্ত must be defended at every occurrence as truly endless and non-cyclical; mandatory translator note at first occurrence, parallel to the baseline’s incarnation/avatar note requirement. |
| 24 | darkness (gloom) | ζόφος (zophos) | ঘোৰ আন্ধাৰ | ghor andhar | NEW | Medium | 1:6, 1:13 | Intensified “darkness,” reserved as the setting for judgment. |
| 25 | Sodom and Gomorrah | Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα (Sodoma kai Gomorra) | সদোম আৰু গমোৰা | Sodom aru Gomora | NEW (proper noun) | Medium | 1:7 | Established Assamese Bible transliteration; paradigmatic OT judgment-type. |
| 26 | strange / unnatural flesh | σαρκὸς ἑτέρας (sarkos heteras) | বিসদৃশ মাংস | bisôdrix mangxô | NEW | High | 1:7 | Delicate exegetical phrase; requires theologian review of the Assamese phrasing’s precision. |
| 27 | eternal fire | πῦρ αἰώνιον (pyr aiōnion) | অনন্ত জুই | ônôntô jui | NEW | Critical | 1:7, 1:23 | Combines terms #23 (eternal) and fire; forms the letter’s negative pole of its two-destinies structure, contrasted with অনন্ত জীৱন (#38). |
| 28 | dominion / lordship (abstract) | κυριότης (kyriotēs) | কৰ্তৃত্ব | kortritwô | NEW | High | 1:8 | Deliberately distinguished from κύριος/প্ৰভু (Lord, a title) — names the abstract dominion/authority the false teachers reject. |
| 29 | glorious ones (angelic beings) | δόξαι, plural (doxai) | মহিমাশীল সত্তা | môhimaxil xôtta | NEW | High | 1:8 | Distinct sense of δόξα from its far more common “glory” sense (#47); must not default to plain মহিমা, which would misread as abstract glory rather than angelic beings. |
| 30 | blaspheme / slander | βλασφημέω (blasphēmeō) | নিন্দা কৰা | ninda kôra | NEW | Medium | 1:8, 1:10 | Recurs describing the false teachers’ abusive speech against glorious beings and against what they do not understand. |
| 31 | archangel | ἀρχάγγελος (archangelos) | প্ৰধান স্বৰ্গদূত | prôdhan sôrgôdut | NEW | Low-Medium | 1:9 | Michael’s rank-title; low doctrinal ambiguity. |
| 32 | devil | διάβολος (diabolos) | শয়তান | Xoitan | NEW | Medium | 1:9 | Established Assamese Christian term; distinguish explicitly from Hindu Assamese demonic categories (অসুৰ, ৰাক্ষস), which belong to a different cosmological framework, not the singular personal Adversary of biblical theology. |
| 33 | rebuke | ἐπιτιμάω (epitimaō) | তিৰস্কাৰ কৰা | tirôxkar kôra | NEW | Medium | 1:9 | Authoritative sharp reproof; standard Bible-register word. |
| 34 | irrational animals | ἄλογα ζῷα (aloga zōa) | বিবেকহীন জন্তু | bibekhin jontu | NEW | Low | 1:10 | Metaphor for base, instinct-driven behavior. |
| 35 | destroy / corrupt | φθείρω (phtheirō) | নষ্ট/বিনষ্ট হোৱা | nôxtô/binoxtô hôwa | NEW | Medium | 1:10, 1:5 | Reused for both Israel’s destruction (v.5) and the false teachers’ self-ruin (v.10); ties two judgment-scenes together. |
| 36 | woe | οὐαί (ouai) | সন্তাপ | xontap | NEW | Low | 1:11 | Formal prophetic curse-pronouncement. |
| 37 | error / deception | πλάνη (planē) | ভ্ৰান্তি | bhranti | NEW | High | 1:11 | Doctrinal-corruption category (Balaam’s error); distinct from a simple factual mistake. |
| 38 | rebellion / dispute | ἀντιλογία (antilogia) | বিদ্ৰোহ | bidroho | NEW | High | 1:11 | Korah’s rebellion against appointed authority; thematically linked to κυριότης-rejection (#28). |
| 39 | Cain / Balaam / Korah | Κάϊν / Βαλαάμ / Κόρε (Kain / Balaam / Kore) | কয়িন / বালাম / কোৰহ | Kôyin / Balam / Korhô | NEW (proper nouns) | Medium | 1:11 | Established OT proper names; require OT-background teaching support, following the baseline’s “seed of David” precedent. |
| 40 | love feast | ἀγάπη, plural ἀγάπαι (agapē / agapai) | প্ৰেম-ভোজ | prem-bhoj | NEW | High | 1:12 | Must be distinguished from Ekasarana Satra/Vaishnavite communal bhog/prasad food-offering-and-distribution rituals — a functional-parallel risk of the same class the baseline flags for church/নামঘৰ. This is a fellowship meal commemorating Christ’s sacrifice, not a deity-offered/blessed food ritual. |
| 41 | hidden reefs / blemishes | σπιλάδες (spilades) | কলঙ্কস্বৰূপ (alt.: গুপ্ত শিলা) | kôlôngkôsôrup (alt.: gupto xila) | NEW | Medium | 1:12 | Genuine textual/lexical ambiguity between “hidden reefs” and “blemishes”; record both readings per ambiguity-handling protocol. |
| 42 | wandering star | ἀστὴρ πλανήτης (astēr planētēs) | ভ্ৰমণকাৰী তৰা | bhromôngkari tôra | NEW | Medium | 1:13 | Metaphor for unreliable false teachers; caution against over-reading Assamese astrological (জ্যোতিষ) significance into the image. |
| 43 | prophesy | προφητεύω (prophēteuō) | ভাববাণী কৰা | bhabôbani kôra | REUSED (verb form) | Low | 1:14 | Verb form of baseline’s ভাববাণী (prophecy)/ভাববাদী (prophet) family; enforce root consistency. |
| 44 | holy myriads / holy hosts | ἁγίαις μυριάσιν (hagiais myriasin) | পবিত্ৰ বৃন্দ | pobitrô brindô | NEW | Medium | 1:14 | Angelic host escorting the Lord’s eschatological coming; reuses baseline পবিত্ৰ. |
| 45 | convict / expose | ἐλέγχω (elegchō) | দোষী প্ৰমাণ কৰা | dôxi prômanô kôra | NEW | Medium | 1:15, 1:22 (alt. reading) | Judicial exposure-with-proof, not mere accusation. |
| 46 | last time / last days | ἔσχατος χρόνος (eschatos chronos) | শেষ সময় | xex xômoy | NEW | High | 1:18 | Must be presented as a single, final, linear terminus, explicitly contrasted with the cyclical yuga-framework of Assamese Hindu cosmology (repeating cosmic ages ending in পৰলয়/dissolution and renewal). Mandatory distinguishing note at first occurrence. |
| 47 | mocker / scoffer | ἐμπαίκτης (empaiktēs) | নিন্দক/উপহাসক | nindôk/upôhaxôk | NEW | Medium | 1:18 | Eschatological figure predicted by the apostles, now recognized as already present. |
| 48 | cause divisions | ἀποδιορίζω (apodiorizō) | বিভেদ সৃষ্টি কৰা | bibhed srixti kôra | NEW | Medium | 1:19 | Direct opposite of “common salvation” (κοινῆς σωτηρίας, #12); fractures community unity. |
| 49 | soulish / natural (not spiritual) | ψυχικός (psychikos) | প্ৰাণিক | pranik | NEW | High | 1:19 | Pauline-type anthropological contrast (cf. 1 Cor 2:14). Risk of inversion through a Vedantic/Hindu body-soul (deha-atma/jiva) hierarchy where “soul” is the higher spiritual element — opposite of Jude’s usage, where “soulish” names the lesser, unregenerate category. Requires theologian review and first-occurrence note. |
| 50 | not having the Spirit | πνεῦμα μὴ ἔχων (pneuma mē echōn) | পবিত্ৰ আত্মা নথকা | pobitrô atma nôthôka | REUSED (negated) | Critical | 1:19 | Reuses baseline পবিত্ৰ আত্মা (Holy Spirit) as the required referent even though the Greek reads simply πνεῦμα; must not be read as merely lacking generic vital-force/spirit. |
| 51 | build up (edify) | ἐποικοδομέω (epoikodomeō) | গঢ়ি তুলা | gôri tula | NEW | Medium | 1:20 | Positive counterpart to the letter’s contend/keep themes; cross-check against baseline’s “mutual edification” doctrine. |
| 52 | most holy faith | ἁγιωτάτῃ πίστει (hagiōtatē pistei) | পবিত্ৰতম বিশ্বাস | pobitrôtôm biswax | REUSED (combination) | Critical | 1:20 | Combines baseline পবিত্ৰ + বিশ্বাস; cross-reference with entry #10’s “the faith” (v.3) for terminological consistency in Phase 2. |
| 53 | pray | προσεύχομαι (proseuchomai) | প্ৰাৰ্থনা কৰা | prathôna kôra | NEW | Low | 1:20 | Standard Bible-register prayer verb. |
| 54 | keep (guard, preserve) | τηρέω / φυλάσσω (tēreō / phylassō) | ৰক্ষা কৰি ৰখা | rôkkha kôri rôkha | NEW | High | 1:1, 1:6, 1:13, 1:21, 1:24 | The letter’s central theological thread (“Kept by God and Presented Blameless”); one fixed Assamese verb-phrase must be used for every occurrence of both Greek synonyms so the thread reads as unbroken across the whole letter. |
| 55 | eternal life | ζωὴ αἰώνιος (zōē aiōnios) | অনন্ত জীৱন | ônôntô jibôn | NEW | Critical | 1:21 | Parallel Critical-risk status to baseline’s পৰিত্ৰাণ (salvation) — must never be assimilated to মুক্তি/মোক্ষ (liberation from rebirth). Forms the positive pole of the letter’s two-destinies structure, contrasted with অনন্ত জুই (#27). |
| 56 | waver / doubt | διακρίνομαι (diakrinomai) | সন্দিহান হৈ থাকা | xôndihan hoi thaka | NEW | High | 1:22 | Key term for the doctrine “Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering”; names internal doubt/division, not settled unbelief. |
| 57 | save / rescue | σῴζω (sōzō) | ৰক্ষা কৰা / উদ্ধাৰ কৰা | rôkkha kôra / uddhar kôra | REUSED (verb form) | Critical | 1:23 | Verb form of baseline’s πৰিত্ৰাণ (salvation) noun; must never be rendered with any word evoking মুক্তি/মোক্ষ. |
| 58 | snatch (out of fire) | ἁρπάζω (harpazō) | কাঢ়ি অনা | kari ana | NEW | Medium | 1:23 | Vivid urgent-rescue imagery. |
| 59 | garment (stained/defiled) | χιτών (chitōn) | চোলা | cola | NEW | Medium | 1:23 | Moral metaphor; clarify distinction from ritual-purity clothing customs (cf. baseline’s শুচি/পবিত্ৰ distinction). |
| 60 | without stumbling | ἄπταιστος (aptaistos) | উজুতি নোখোৱাকৈ | ujuti nokhôwakoi | NEW | Medium | 1:24 | Rare word; describes the security of God’s keeping-power. |
| 61 | blameless / unblemished | ἄμωμος (amōmos) | নিষ্কলঙ্ক | nixkôlôngkô | NEW | Critical | 1:24 | Doctrinal climax term (“Presented Blameless”); forensic/positional status conferred through being kept by Christ, not accumulated moral/karmic merit. Must not be assimilated to a karma-purified state. |
| 62 | glory | δόξα (doxa) | মহিমা | môhima | REUSED | High | 1:24, 1:25 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. Note the distinct plural “glorious beings” sense at 1:8 (#29) — the two senses must not be conflated. |
| 63 | exultation / great joy | ἀγαλλίασις (agalliasis) | মহা আনন্দ | môha anôndô | NEW | Low-Medium | 1:24 | Eschatological joy accompanying the blameless presentation. |
| 64 | Savior | σωτήρ (sōtēr) | পৰিত্ৰাণকৰ্তা | poritranôkorta | NEW | Critical | 1:25 | Directly derived from baseline’s Critical-risk পৰিত্ৰাণ (salvation) root; render to keep the shared root visible. Paired with “only God” (একমাত্ৰ ঈশ্বৰ), an explicit monotheistic-exclusivity statement. |
| 65 | majesty | μεγαλωσύνη (megalōsynē) | মহানতা | môhanôta | NEW | Medium | 1:25 | One of four stacked doxological nouns; kept lexically distinct from glory/might/authority. |
| 66 | might / power (dominion) | κράτος (kratos) | পৰাক্ৰম | porakrom | NEW | Medium | 1:25 | Distinguished from baseline’s ঈশ্বৰৰ শক্তি (power of God, a different Greek word, δύναμις) to preserve the doxology’s four-fold distinctness. |
| 67 | authority | ἐξουσία (exousia) | অধিকাৰ | odhikar | NEW | Medium | 1:25 | Fourth of the stacked doxological nouns; names the right to rule. |
| 68 | age / eon | αἰών (aiōn) | কাল | kal | NEW | High | 1:25 | Distinguished from অনন্ত (#23, the adjective “eternal”); flag collision risk with Assamese Hindu “yuga” cosmology (bounded, repeating cosmic ages) — Jude’s usage asserts one continuous, non-cyclical eternity. |
| 69 | multiply (blessing) | πληθύνω (plēthynō) | বৃদ্ধি হওক | briddhi hôok | NEW | Low | 1:2 | Simple benedictory verb; minimal doctrinal risk. |
| 70 | apostle | ἀπόστολος (apostolos) | প্ৰেৰিত | prerito | REUSED | Medium | 1:17 | Baseline term; enforce exactly. Avoid গুৰু per baseline rationale. |
Summary of New/Extended Entries Requiring Theologian Sign-Off Before Phase 2
The following entries are proposed extensions or first formalizations beyond the Romans baseline and require explicit human theologian approval before being written into an updated translation_memory.json for this curriculum:
- mercy (ἔλεος) → কৃপা — EXTENDED scope (baseline restricted to non-salvific use only; Jude requires salvific use).
- love (ἀγάπη) → প্ৰেম — NEW, High risk, Vaishnavite prema-collision.
- Sovereign Master (δεσπότης) → অধিপতি — NEW, Critical risk, Swami-title collision avoidance.
- eternal (αἰώνιος/ἀΐδιος) → অনন্ত — NEW, Critical risk, cyclical-rebirth collision.
- eternal life (ζωὴ αἰώνιος) → অনন্ত জীৱন — NEW, Critical risk, parallel to পৰিত্ৰাণ.
- soulish (ψυχικός) → প্ৰাণিক — NEW, High risk, Vedantic soul-hierarchy inversion risk.
- love feast (ἀγάπαι) → প্ৰেম-ভোজ — NEW, High risk, Satra bhog/prasad functional-parallel.
- blameless (ἄμωμος) → নিষ্কলঙ্ক — NEW, Critical risk, karma-purification collision.
- last time (ἔσχατος χρόνος) → শেষ সময় — NEW, High risk, yuga-cycle collision.
- keep/guard (τηρέω/φυλάσσω) → ৰক্ষা কৰি ৰখা — NEW, High risk, thematic spine of the whole letter.
- age/eon (αἰών) → কাল — NEW, High risk, yuga-cycle collision (distinct from #4 above).
- Savior (σωτήρ) → পৰিত্ৰাণকৰ্তা — NEW, Critical risk, direct derivative of baseline’s পৰিত্ৰাণ.
Critical Risk Terms
Faith
Approved rendering: বিশ্বাস
Transliteration: biswax
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: শ্ৰদ্ধা, ভক্তি
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly (rendering unchanged; risk tier ESCALATED from baseline High to Critical for this curriculum). Jude 1:3 and 1:20 use πίστις in its objective sense (‘the faith,’ a fixed apostolic deposit to be defended), distinct from Romans’ dominant subjective-trust sense. Because one Assamese word covers both senses, a mandatory contextual translator note distinguishing ‘the faith’ (defended deposit) from ‘faith’ (personal trust) is required at first occurrence in Jude, to prevent collapsing ‘the faith once delivered’ into a private devotional feeling.
Lord
Approved rendering: প্ৰভু
Transliteration: prôbhu
Doctrine: Deity and Exclusive Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: স্বামী, ঈশ্বৰ
Original: κύριος
Category: Christology
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Enforce across every occurrence in Jude (1:4, 1:5, 1:9, 1:14, 1:17, 1:21, 1:25). Must be kept lexically distinct from the NEW term sovereign_master (অধিপতি, δεσπότης) and from dominion_kyriotes (কৰ্তৃত্ব, κυριότης) so Jude 1:4’s and 1:8’s stacked/abstract authority-titles remain visible and distinct from this personal title.
Salvation
Approved rendering: পৰিত্ৰাণ
Transliteration: poritran
Doctrine: Church Unity and Common Salvation
Rejected alternatives: মুক্তি, মোক্ষ, নিস্তাৰ
Original: σωτηρία
Category: Salvation
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:3: ‘our common salvation’ (κοινῆς σωτηρίας) — one salvation held jointly by the whole believing community, not an individually negotiated liberation-path pursued under a guru’s direction. Never মুক্তি/মোক্ষ. Root shared with NEW terms savior (পৰিত্ৰাণকৰ্তা) and save_rescue (ৰক্ষা কৰা).
Jesus
Approved rendering: যীচু
Transliteration: Yisu
Doctrine: Deity and Exclusive Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: ঈছা
Original: Ἰησοῦς
Category: Christology
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Recurs at Jude 1:1, 1:4, 1:17, 1:21, 1:25, consistently paired with খ্ৰীষ্ট (Christ).
God
Approved rendering: ঈশ্বৰ
Transliteration: Iswôr
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: ভগৱান, পৰমেশ্বৰ
Original: θεός
Category: God
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Addressed throughout Jude as Father (1:1), the only Savior (1:25), and the object of the closing doxology. Never ভগৱান.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: পবিত্ৰ আত্মা
Transliteration: pobitrô atma
Doctrine: Anthropological Diagnosis: Soulish versus Spiritual
Rejected alternatives: ব্ৰহ্ম, পৰমাত্মা
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Explicitly named at 1:20 (‘praying in the Holy Spirit’) and required as the referent of the bare πνεῦμα at 1:19 (see NEW term not_having_the_spirit). Never ব্ৰহ্ম or পৰমাত্মা.
Father
Approved rendering: পিতা
Transliteration: pita
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Beloved Status
Rejected alternatives: ব্ৰহ্মা, সৃষ্টিকৰ্তা
Original: θεῷ πατρί
Category: God
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:1: believers ‘beloved in God the Father.‘
Christ
Approved rendering: খ্ৰীষ্ট
Transliteration: Khristô
Doctrine: Deity and Exclusive Lordship of Christ
Original: Χριστός
Category: Christology
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE’S established transliteration standard (12_ai_translation_requirements.md transliteration table); not a standalone translation_memory.json entry in the original Romans baseline, but formalized as a first-class entry here since ‘Jesus Christ’ (যীচু খ্ৰীষ্ট) recurs at every major doctrinal turn in Jude (1:1, 1:4, 1:17, 1:21, 1:25).
Mercy
Approved rendering: কৃপা
Transliteration: kripa
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Rejected alternatives: অনুগ্ৰহ (reserved for salvific grace per baseline), বৰ
Original: ἔλεος
Category: Salvation
EXTENDED baseline entry — formally revises, for the Jude curriculum ONLY, the Romans baseline’s restriction of কৃপা to ‘ordinary compassion/mercy in non-salvific contexts only.’ Jude’s dominant pastoral doctrine (‘Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering’) requires কৃপা in an explicitly salvific/eschatological sense at 1:21 (‘mercy… unto eternal life’) and 1:2, 1:22-23. MANDATORY HUMAN THEOLOGIAN SIGN-OFF required before Phase 2 use; this extension is scoped to Jude specifically and must not silently propagate into non-Jude curricula still governed by the Romans baseline’s non-salvific restriction. Must be distinguished from the Puranic pattern of a deity’s কৃপা as a negotiated response to austerity/devotion (the rejected বৰ pattern) — Jude’s mercy is God’s unilateral initiative toward the helpless and wavering, not earned through devotional performance.
Once For All
Approved rendering: এবাৰৰ বাবে
Transliteration: ebaror babe
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Original: ἅπαξ
Category: Faith
NEW term (ἅπαξ, Jude 1:3). Marks the deposit of the Christian faith as historically closed, complete, and non-repeatable. Directly opposes any framework — an ongoing Satradhikar guru-succession lineage, or a repeatable cycle of avatar-descents already flagged Critical in the Romans baseline for incarnation/অৱতাৰ — in which authoritative revelation continues to be delivered anew generation after generation. Never soften into language implying an open or evolving revelatory tradition.
Sovereign Master
Approved rendering: অধিপতি
Transliteration: odhipoti
Doctrine: Deity and Exclusive Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: স্বামী (the standard Assamese honorific for a Hindu monastic renunciate guru-teacher, ‘Swami/স্বামীজী’; using it here would assimilate Christ’s absolute divine ownership-authority to guru-status, compounding the baseline’s existing apostle/guru-collision caution)
Original: δεσπότης
Category: Christology
NEW term requiring careful coinage (δεσπότης, Jude 1:4). MUST NOT be rendered স্বামী under any circumstance. Kept lexically distinct from lord (প্ৰভু, κύριος) so the Greek’s own stacking of two distinct absolute-authority titles on Christ in one clause remains visible. Single highest-priority Christological lexical decision in the letter.
Eternal
Approved rendering: অনন্ত
Transliteration: ônôntô
Doctrine: Eternal Judgment and the Two Destinies
Original: αἰώνιος / ἀΐδιος
Category: Eschatology
NEW term (αἰώνιος/ἀΐδιος), the single most doctrinally load-bearing recurring term in Jude apart from baseline-inherited vocabulary. Describes the chains binding rebellious angels (1:6), the fire judging Sodom (1:7), the darkness reserved for false teachers (1:13), the life awaited in mercy (1:21), and God’s own eternity (1:25). Assamese Hindu and Ekasarana-Vaishnavite cosmology generally holds no eternal hell — souls are reborn or eventually liberated across cycles (সংসাৰ). Must be defended at every occurrence as denoting a genuinely endless, non-cyclical state. MANDATORY translator note at first occurrence, parallel to the baseline’s mandatory incarnation/avatar note.
Eternal Fire
Approved rendering: অনন্ত জুই
Transliteration: ônôntô jui
Doctrine: Eternal Judgment and the Two Destinies
Original: πῦρ αἰώνιον
Category: Eschatology
NEW term combining eternal (অনন্ত) with fire (Jude 1:7, reused at 1:23). Forms the negative pole of the letter’s deliberate two-destinies structure, contrasted with eternal_life (অনন্ত জীৱন). The অনন্ত component must never be softened into a temporally bounded punishment within a cosmic cycle.
Not Having The Spirit
Approved rendering: পবিত্ৰ আত্মা নথকা
Transliteration: pobitrô atma nôthôka
Doctrine: Anthropological Diagnosis: Soulish versus Spiritual
Original: πνεῦμα μὴ ἔχοντες
Category: God
Reuses baseline holy_spirit (পবিত্ৰ আত্মা, Critical) as the required referent even though the Greek at Jude 1:19 reads simply πνεῦμα without ἅγιον; context requires the full theological referent. Must not be read as merely lacking generic vital-force/spirit.
Most Holy Faith
Approved rendering: পবিত্ৰতম বিশ্বাস
Transliteration: pobitrôtôm biswax
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Original: τῇ ἁγιωτάτῃ ὑμῶν πίστει
Category: Faith
Combines baseline holy (পবিত্ৰ) + faith (বিশ্বাস) (ἁγιωτάτῃ πίστει, Jude 1:20), the direct positive counterpart to ‘the faith once delivered’ of 1:3. Cross-check against the faith entry for terminological consistency.
Eternal Life
Approved rendering: অনন্ত জীৱন
Transliteration: ônôntô jibôn
Doctrine: Eternal Judgment and the Two Destinies
Original: ζωὴν αἰώνιον
Category: Eschatology
NEW term (ζωὴ αἰώνιος, Jude 1:21), parallel Critical-risk status to the baseline’s পৰিত্ৰাণ (salvation). Must never be assimilated to মুক্তি/মোক্ষ. Forms the positive pole of the letter’s two-destinies structure, contrasted with eternal_fire (অনন্ত জুই).
Save Rescue
Approved rendering: ৰক্ষা কৰা
Transliteration: rôkkha kôra
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Original: σῴζετε
Category: Salvation
Verb form of baseline salvation’s Critical-risk noun σωτηρία/পৰিত্ৰাণ (σῴζετε, Jude 1:23); the concrete pastoral act of snatching the wavering out of imminent spiritual danger. Root-consistent with পৰিত্ৰাণ for teaching traceability. Never render with any word evoking মুক্তি/মোক্ষ.
Blameless
Approved rendering: নিষ্কলঙ্ক
Transliteration: nixkôlôngkô
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Rejected alternatives: পুণ্যবান (meritorious/virtuous — would import an accumulated-merit sense directly opposed to the verse’s forensic, Christ-conferred status)
Original: ἀμώμους
Category: Sanctification
NEW term (ἄμωμος, Jude 1:24), the letter’s doctrinal climax. A forensic/positional status conferred through being kept by Christ’s power, NOT a state of accumulated moral perfection achieved through effort or ascetic discipline. Must not be assimilated to a karma-purified state attained through accumulated merit — the same theological risk class the baseline flags for ধাৰ্মিকতা/imputed_righteousness.
Savior
Approved rendering: পৰিত্ৰাণকৰ্তা
Transliteration: poritranôkorta
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Salvation
NEW term (σωτήρ, Jude 1:25), directly derived from baseline salvation’s Critical-risk πৰিত্ৰাণ noun; kept transparently root-shared for terminological consistency. Paired with an explicit monotheistic-exclusivity modifier একমাত্ৰ (‘the only/sole’), paralleling the exclusivity already required for প্ৰভু (Lord) in the baseline.
High Risk Terms
Grace
Approved rendering: অনুগ্ৰহ
Transliteration: anugrôh
Doctrine: Grace Perverted into License
Rejected alternatives: কৃপা, দয়া, বৰ, সৌভাগ্য, পুণ্য
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:4 extends the baseline’s grace-versus-merit contrast into a grace-versus-license contrast: grace must be shown being actively perverted into স্বেচ্ছাচাৰিতা (licentiousness), not merely misunderstood — a soft translation risks implying the false teachers held a legitimate, if extreme, interpretation of grace rather than a doctrinal corruption of it.
Called
Approved rendering: মতা
Transliteration: matā
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Beloved Status
Rejected alternatives: আমন্ত্ৰিত, নিমন্ত্ৰণ কৰা
Original: κλητός
Category: Salvation
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:1: believers as ‘the called,’ distinguished from a devotee’s own initiative in formally taking naam within Ekasarana practice, and from karma-determined destiny.
Holy
Approved rendering: পবিত্ৰ
Transliteration: pobitrô
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Rejected alternatives: শুচি, নিৰ্মল
Original: ἅγιος
Category: Sanctification
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Used at Jude 1:14 (holy myriads/hosts) and 1:20 (most holy faith, superlative ἁγιωτάτῃ).
Saints
Approved rendering: পবিত্ৰ লোক
Transliteration: pobitrô lok
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: সন্ত, ভক্ত
Original: ἅγιοι
Category: Church
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:3: all believers, corporately, as recipients of the one common deposit of faith — not an ascetic elite.
Glory
Approved rendering: মহিমা
Transliteration: môhima
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Rejected alternatives: দেৱজ্যোতি, তেজ
Original: δόξα
Category: God
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Used at Jude 1:24-25 in its common abstract sense. NOTE the letter’s distinct plural ‘glorious beings’ sense at 1:8 (δόξαι) — see NEW term glorious_ones; the two senses must not be conflated.
Sin
Approved rendering: পাপ
Transliteration: pap
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: অধৰ্ম, অশুচিতা
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Root of the NEW adapted term sin_sinner (পাপী) at Jude 1:15.
Israel
Approved rendering: ইস্ৰায়েল
Transliteration: Israyel
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Israel
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly (rendering unchanged; risk tier ESCALATED from baseline Medium to High for this curriculum’s use). Jude 1:5: the people God saved out of Egypt who later fell under judgment for unbelief — a linear historical episode illustrating perseverance, not this-life karmic consequence within a rebirth framework, and not evidence against genuine believers’ Assurance of Salvation.
Love
Approved rendering: প্ৰেম
Transliteration: prem
Doctrine: Covenantal Love of God
Original: ἀγαπάω / ἀγάπη
Category: God
NEW term for Jude curriculum (ἀγαπάω/ἀγάπη), not present as a standalone entry in the Romans baseline. Recurs at 1:1 (beloved in God), 1:2 (love multiplied), 1:12 (love feast), 1:21 (keep yourselves in the love of God). Assamese/Bengali Vaishnavism, including Sankardev’s own Ekasarana Dharma, uses প্ৰেম/প্ৰেমা extensively for cultivated devotional love (prema-bhakti) toward a chosen deity, achieved through spiritual practice. Every occurrence must be anchored explicitly as God’s own unilateral, self-giving covenantal love (or the church’s answering love), never a cultivated devotional emotion. MANDATORY distinguishing note at first occurrence (1:1), on the model of the baseline’s mandatory incarnation/avatar note.
Contend For The Faith
Approved rendering: সংগ্ৰাম কৰা
Transliteration: xôngram kôra
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Rejected alternatives: বিশ্বাসত থিৰে থাকা (too passive — ‘remain firm in faith’; loses the athletic/military combat imagery)
Original: ἐπαγωνίζομαι
Category: Faith
NEW doctrinal keyword (ἐπαγωνίζομαι, Jude 1:3). Must not be softened into a merely intellectual or devotional ‘reflecting on’ the faith, which would erase the militant-defense sense central to the letter’s central exhortation.
Delivered
Approved rendering: সমৰ্পিত
Transliteration: xomorpitô
Doctrine: Contending for the Faith Once Delivered
Original: παραδοθείσῃ
Category: Faith
NEW term (παραδοθείσῃ, Jude 1:3). Paired with once_for_all (‘এবাৰৰ বাবে সমৰ্পিত’) so the phrase together conveys a closed, historically fixed transmission — distinct from an open or evolving guru-lineage transmission (paramparā) model found in the Ekasarana Satra tradition.
Believe
Approved rendering: বিশ্বাস কৰা
Transliteration: biswax kôra
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Israel
Original: πιστεύω
Category: Faith
NEW verb-form entry, root-consistent with baseline noun বিশ্বাস (faith). Describes the wilderness generation who ‘did not believe’ and were destroyed (Jude 1:5).
Ungodly
Approved rendering: ঈশ্বৰহীন
Transliteration: Iswôrhin
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: ধৰ্মহীন (ধৰ্ম-rooted, already rejected in the Romans baseline for cosmic-duty/Ekasarana-sectarian associations), ভক্তিহীন (ভক্তি-rooted, already rejected in the Romans baseline)
Original: ἀσεβής / ἀσέβεια
Category: Sin
NEW coinage for the Jude curriculum (ἀσεβής/ἀσέβεια), built transparently on baseline ঈশ্বৰ + হীন. The letter’s core moral-theological label for the false teachers, occurring five times (1:4, 1:15 x3, 1:18). Names fundamental irreverence toward the true, personal God, distinct from sin_sinner (পাপী), which names the transgressive act rather than the underlying orientation. Consistency across all five occurrences is essential to the letter’s cumulative rhetorical force.
Licentiousness
Approved rendering: স্বেচ্ছাচাৰিতা
Transliteration: swecchacarita
Doctrine: Grace Perverted into License
Rejected alternatives: ব্যভিচাৰ (too narrow — adultery/sexual immorality alone)
Original: ἀσέλγεια
Category: Sin
NEW term (ἀσέλγεια, Jude 1:4). Names a general shameless self-indulgence broader than sexual sin alone. Must remain doctrinally tethered to grace being perverted, not merely misunderstood.
Judgment
Approved rendering: বিচাৰ
Transliteration: bicar
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: κρίσις
Category: Judgment
NEW major thematic term (κρίσις, Jude 1:6, 1:9, 1:15). Must be read consistently as God’s personal, forensic, once-for-all verdict — never as impersonal karmic reckoning across future rebirths. Avoid surrounding phrasing that imports ফল/কৰ্মফল (fruit-of-karma) vocabulary.
Strange Flesh
Approved rendering: বিসদৃশ মাংস
Transliteration: bisôdrix mangxô
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Sodom and Gomorrah
Original: σαρκὸς ἑτέρας
Category: Sin
NEW term (σαρκὸς ἑτέρας, Jude 1:7). Delicate exegetical phrase; flagged for mandatory theologian register-precision review before Phase 2 lock-in to ensure the Assamese phrasing neither over-specifies nor under-specifies the sin beyond what the Greek itself states.
Dominion Kyriotes
Approved rendering: কৰ্তৃত্ব
Transliteration: kortritwô
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
Original: κυριότης
Category: Authority
NEW term (κυριότης, Jude 1:8), deliberately distinguished from lord (κύριος/প্ৰভু, a personal title) — an abstract noun rather than reusing প্ৰভু, preserving the Greek’s own distinction between the title ‘Lord’ and the abstract ‘lordship/dominion’ the false teachers reject, while the semantic link to the letter’s Lordship theme (cf. 1:4, 1:25) remains visible.
Glorious Ones
Approved rendering: মহিমাশীল সত্তা
Transliteration: môhimaxil xôtta
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
Rejected alternatives: মহিমা alone (would misleadingly suggest abstract divine glory rather than angelic beings)
Original: δόξαι
Category: Angelology
NEW distinct-sense flag (δόξαι, plural, Jude 1:8), referring to glorious beings (likely angelic dignitaries) slandered by the false teachers — NOT the letter’s far more common abstract ‘glory’ sense at 1:24-25 (see glory entry). Translators must not default to মহিমা without this adjustment.
Error Deception
Approved rendering: ভ্ৰান্তি
Transliteration: bhranti
Doctrine: Old Testament Types: Cain, Balaam, and Korah
Original: πλάνη
Category: Sin
NEW term (πλάνη, Jude 1:11), reserved for doctrinal-corruption error (Balaam’s prophesying-for-profit) specifically, distinct from a simple factual mistake.
Rebellion Dispute
Approved rendering: বিদ্ৰোহ
Transliteration: bidroho
Doctrine: Old Testament Types: Cain, Balaam, and Korah
Original: ἀντιλογία
Category: Authority
NEW term (ἀντιλογία, Jude 1:11). Korah’s rebellion against appointed God-given authority, thematically linked to dominion_kyriotes rejection (1:8).
Love Feast
Approved rendering: প্ৰেম-ভোজ
Transliteration: prem-bhoj
Doctrine: Love Feast and Church Fellowship
Original: ἀγάπαι
Category: Church
NEW term (ἀγάπαι, Jude 1:12). MANDATORY translator note distinguishing it from the communal bhog/prasad food-offering-and-distribution practices central to Ekasarana Satra and wider Assamese Vaishnavite worship, in which food is offered to and blessed by the deity/guru before communal distribution. This is a fellowship meal among believers commemorating Christ’s sacrifice, not a devotional food-offering ritual — a functional-parallel risk of the same class the baseline flags for church/নামঘৰ.
Last Time
Approved rendering: শেষ সময়
Transliteration: xex xômoy
Doctrine: Eschatological Last Days
Original: ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου [τοῦ] χρόνου
Category: Eschatology
NEW term (ἐπ’ ἐσχάτου [τοῦ] χρόνου, Jude 1:18). Must be presented as a single, final, non-repeating terminus to history, explicitly contrasted with the cyclical yuga-framework (Satya/Treta/Dwapara/Kali Yuga, each ending in পৰলয়/dissolution and cosmic renewal) prevalent in Assamese Hindu cosmology. MANDATORY distinguishing note recommended at first occurrence.
Soulish
Approved rendering: প্ৰাণিক
Transliteration: pranik
Doctrine: Anthropological Diagnosis: Soulish versus Spiritual
Rejected alternatives: আত্মা-rooted alternatives (would blur with পবিত্ৰ আত্মা, ‘Holy Spirit’)
Original: ψυχικός
Category: Anthropology
NEW term (ψυχικός, Jude 1:19), built on প্ৰাণ (natural life-force) rather than আত্মা. Risk of misreading through a Hindu/Vedantic body-soul (deha-atma/jiva) hierarchy in which ‘soul’ is typically the higher, liberation-seeking element — the OPPOSITE valence from Jude’s usage, where ‘soulish’ names the lesser, unregenerate category contrasted with the Spirit-filled state. MANDATORY theologian review and explanatory note at first occurrence, given this unusual directional-inversion risk.
Keep Guard
Approved rendering: ৰক্ষা কৰি ৰখা
Transliteration: rôkkha kôri rôkha
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Rejected alternatives: সাঁচি ৰখা and other near-synonyms (would sever the letter’s deliberate literary echo across occurrences)
Original: τηρέω / φυλάσσω
Category: Sanctification
NEW fixed verb-phrase for τηρέω/φυλάσσω, the letter’s central theological thread, occurring at 1:1 (believers kept for Christ), 1:6 (rebellious angels kept for judgment), 1:13 (darkness reserved), 1:21 (keep yourselves in God’s love), and 1:24 (God able to keep you from stumbling). MUST use this ONE fixed phrase at every occurrence of both Greek synonyms without exception — the letter’s structural spine and the single highest-priority Phase 2 QA consistency rule for this book.
Waver Doubt
Approved rendering: সন্দিহান হৈ থাকা
Transliteration: xôndihan hoi thaka
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Rejected alternatives: সন্দেহ alone (reads as intellectual skepticism rather than a still-recoverable pastoral condition)
Original: διακρινομένους
Category: Faith
NEW key term for the doctrine (διακρίνομαι, Jude 1:22). Names internal doubt/division, not settled unbelief; pastoral care for this group must be differentiated from the condemnation due the false teachers’ settled ungodliness.
Age Eon
Approved rendering: কাল
Transliteration: kal
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Original: αἰών
Category: Eschatology
NEW term (αἰών, Jude 1:25), distinguished from eternal (অনন্ত, the adjective form for αἰώνιος). Assamese Hindu cosmology’s ‘yuga’ concept (a bounded, repeating cosmic age) is a near-homonym risk area — a translator note should clarify that Jude’s αἰών-stacking asserts one continuous, non-cyclical eternity, not a sequence of repeating cosmic ages ending in dissolution and renewal.
Sin Sinner
Approved rendering: পাপী
Transliteration: papi
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀσεβεῖς
Category: Sin
Adapted from baseline sin (পাপ) root (ἁμαρτωλοὶ ἀσεβεῖς, ‘ungodly sinners,’ Jude 1:15). Distinct from ungodly (ঈশ্বৰহীন), which names the false teachers’ fundamental irreverent orientation rather than their transgressive acts.
Medium Risk Terms
Apostle
Approved rendering: প্ৰেৰিত
Transliteration: prerito
Doctrine: Inspiration and Use of Prophetic Tradition
Rejected alternatives: দূত, গুৰু
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:17: ‘remember the words spoken beforehand by the apostles.’ Avoid গুৰু, now doubly relevant given this letter’s sovereign_master/স্বামী discussion at 1:4.
Peace
Approved rendering: শান্তি
Transliteration: xanti
Doctrine: Covenantal Love of God
Rejected alternatives: সুখ, প্ৰশান্তি
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Jude 1:2’s epistolary blessing: ‘mercy and peace and love be multiplied to you.‘
Church
Approved rendering: মণ্ডলী
Transliteration: môndoli
Doctrine: Love Feast and Church Fellowship
Rejected alternatives: মন্দিৰ, নামঘৰ
INHERITED FROM ROMANS PACKAGE exactly. Never নামঘৰ. Underlies the doctrinal fencing required for love_feast (প্ৰেম-ভোজ), which must be distinguished from Ekasarana Satra/Vaishnavite communal bhog/prasad food-offering rituals.
Servant Of Christ
Approved rendering: দাস
Transliteration: das
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Beloved Status
Rejected alternatives: সেৱক
Original: δοῦλος
Category: Church
NEW term for Jude curriculum (δοῦλος, Jude 1:1). Total ownership/submission to Christ. Functional parallel exists to Vaishnavite dasya-bhava servant-devotion, but দাস carries no institutional-title collision comparable to the sovereign_master/স্বামী risk; a brief note is recommended clarifying this is submission to the one exclusive Lord, not one devotional posture among several equally valid bhava-postures.
Crept In Unnoticed
Approved rendering: গোপনে সোমাই পৰিছে
Transliteration: gopone xomai poriche
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: παρεισέδυσαν
Category: Judgment
NEW narrative-descriptive term (παρεισέδυσαν, Jude 1:4). Covert, unnoticed infiltration — the false teachers are disguised insiders, heightening the urgency of the letter’s warning.
Deny
Approved rendering: অস্বীকাৰ কৰা
Transliteration: oswikar kôra
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: ἀρνέομαι
Category: Sin
NEW term (ἀρνέομαι, Jude 1:4). The false teachers’ practical denial of Christ expressed through licentious living, not merely verbal denial.
Angel
Approved rendering: স্বৰ্গদূত
Transliteration: sôrgôdut
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Angels
Rejected alternatives: দূত (generic messenger, already reserved by the baseline’s apostleship-avoidance rationale)
Original: ἄγγελος
Category: Angelology
NEW term (ἄγγελος, Jude 1:6). Standard Assamese Bible term for a heavenly messenger-being, distinct from generic দূত.
Darkness Gloom
Approved rendering: ঘোৰ আন্ধাৰ
Transliteration: ghor andhar
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Angels
Original: ζόφος
Category: Judgment
NEW term (ζόφος, Jude 1:6, 1:13). An intensified ‘darkness,’ stronger than ordinary σκότος, reserved as the setting for judgment on both fallen angels and false teachers.
Sodom And Gomorrah
Approved rendering: সদোম আৰু গমোৰা
Transliteration: Sodom aru Gomora
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Sodom and Gomorrah
Original: Σόδομα καὶ Γόμορρα
Category: Covenant
NEW proper-noun entry, established Assamese Bible transliteration convention (Jude 1:7). Paradigmatic OT judgment-type.
Blaspheme
Approved rendering: নিন্দা কৰা
Transliteration: ninda kôra
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
Original: βλασφημέω
Category: Sin
NEW term (βλασφημέω, Jude 1:8, 1:10). Describes the false teachers’ abusive speech against glorious beings and against what they do not understand.
Archangel
Approved rendering: প্ৰধান স্বৰ্গদূত
Transliteration: prôdhan sôrgôdut
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
Original: ἀρχάγγελος
Category: Angelology
NEW term (ἀρχάγγελος, Jude 1:9). Michael’s rank-title; see michael entry for the mandatory anti-identification note (Michael must never be identified with Jesus).
Devil
Approved rendering: শয়তান
Transliteration: Xoitan
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
Rejected alternatives: অসুৰ (asura), ৰাক্ষস (rakshasa) — both belong to a different Puranic cosmological framework of rival divine-order figures, not the personal, singular, fallen-angelic Adversary of biblical theology
Original: διάβολος
Category: Angelology
NEW term (διάβολος, Jude 1:9). Established Assamese Christian loanword, already stable with limited real-world ambiguity in practice.
Rebuke
Approved rendering: তিৰস্কাৰ কৰা
Transliteration: tirôxkar kôra
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
Original: ἐπιτιμάω
Category: Judgment
NEW term (ἐπιτιμάω, Jude 1:9). Authoritative sharp reproof, the Lord’s own prerogative, quoted echoing Zechariah 3:2.
Destroy Corrupt
Approved rendering: বিনষ্ট হোৱা
Transliteration: binoxtô hôwa
Doctrine: Old Testament Warnings as Types: Israel
Original: φθείρω
Category: Judgment
NEW term (φθείρω, Jude 1:5, 1:10). Used of both Israel’s destruction through unbelief and the false teachers’ self-ruin, tying the two judgment-scenes together across the letter.
Cain Balaam Korah
Approved rendering: কয়িন / বালাম / কোৰহ
Transliteration: Kôyin / Balam / Korhô
Doctrine: Old Testament Types: Cain, Balaam, and Korah
Original: Κάϊν / Βαλαάμ / Κόρε
Category: Covenant
NEW proper-noun entries. Three OT figures whose sins (murderous self-will, profit-driven false prophecy, authority-rejecting rebellion) typify the false teachers. Requires OT-background teaching support for a low-OT-literacy Assamese audience, following the same pattern the baseline flags for ‘seed of David.‘
Hidden Reefs Blemishes
Approved rendering: কলঙ্কস্বৰূপ
Transliteration: kôlôngkôsôrup
Doctrine: Descriptive Metaphors of False Teachers
Rejected alternatives: গুপ্ত শিলা (hidden reefs — recorded as the alternative reading per the ambiguity-handling protocol, not rejected outright)
Original: σπιλάδες
Category: Sin
NEW term (σπιλάδες, Jude 1:12). Genuine textual/lexical ambiguity in the Greek itself between ‘hidden reefs’ (nautical hazard) and ‘blemishes’ (moral defect); primary rendering কলঙ্কস্বৰূপ selected.
Wandering Star
Approved rendering: ভ্ৰমণকাৰী তৰা
Transliteration: bhromôngkari tôra
Doctrine: Descriptive Metaphors of False Teachers
Original: ἀστέρες πλανῆται
Category: Sin
NEW term (ἀστέρες πλανῆται, Jude 1:13). Cosmic-disorder image for unreliable false teachers; caution against over-reading Assamese astrological (জ্যোতিষ) significance into the image.
Holy Myriads
Approved rendering: পবিত্ৰ বৃন্দ
Transliteration: pobitrô brindô
Doctrine: Inspiration and Use of Prophetic Tradition
Original: ἁγίαις μυριάσιν
Category: Eschatology
NEW term (ἁγίαις μυριάσιν, Jude 1:14), reusing baseline holy (পবিত্ৰ). The innumerable angelic host escorting the Lord’s eschatological coming for final judgment.
Convict Expose

Transliteration: dôxi prômanô kôra
Doctrine: Judgment on Ungodly False Teachers
Original: ἐλέγχω
Category: Judgment
NEW term (ἐλέγχω, Jude 1:15; also a disputed textual-variant reading at 1:22). Judicial exposure-with-proof, not mere accusation.
Mocker Scoffer
Approved rendering: নিন্দক
Transliteration: nindôk
Doctrine: Eschatological Last Days
Rejected alternatives: উপহাসক (recorded as a viable secondary rendering)
Original: ἐμπαῖκται
Category: Eschatology
NEW term (ἐμπαῖκται, Jude 1:18). Predicted eschatological figures now recognized by Jude’s readers as already present.
Cause Divisions
Approved rendering: বিভেদ সৃষ্টি কৰা
Transliteration: bibhed srixti kôra
Doctrine: Church Unity and Common Salvation
Original: ἀποδιορίζοντες
Category: Church
NEW term (ἀποδιορίζοντες, Jude 1:19). Direct opposite of ‘common salvation’ (κοινῆς σωτηρίας, Jude 1:3); the false teachers fracture the community’s unity.
Build Up
Approved rendering: গঢ়ি তুলা
Transliteration: gôri tula
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Original: ἐποικοδομοῦντες
Category: Sanctification
NEW term (ἐποικοδομέω, Jude 1:20). Positive counterpart to the letter’s contend/keep themes; cross-check against baseline’s Mutual Edification doctrine for terminological consistency.
Snatch
Approved rendering: কাঢ়ি অনা
Transliteration: kari ana
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Rejected alternatives: সহায় কৰা / ‘help’ (too gentle; would dilute the violent urgency of the rescue image)
Original: ἁρπάζοντες
Category: Salvation
NEW term (ἁρπάζω, Jude 1:23), also the verb used of the rapture in 1 Thessalonians 4:17. Preserve the urgency rather than softening to generic pastoral-care language.
Garment Stained
Approved rendering: চোলা
Transliteration: cola
Doctrine: Mercy and Rescue of the Wavering
Original: χιτῶνα
Category: Sin
NEW term (χιτών, Jude 1:23). Moral metaphor for a person’s moral condition/associations, ‘defiled by the flesh’; clarify distinction from ritual-purity clothing customs (cf. baseline’s শুচি/পবিত্ৰ distinction) — this is a moral metaphor, not a literal ritual-purity instruction.
Without Stumbling
Approved rendering: উজুতি নোখোৱাকৈ
Transliteration: ujuti nokhôwakoi
Doctrine: Kept by God and Presented Blameless
Original: ἀπταίστους
Category: Sanctification

Transliteration: môhanôta
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Original: μεγαλωσύνη
Category: God
NEW term (μεγαλωσύνη, Jude 1:25), one of four stacked doxological nouns; kept lexically distinct from glory/might/authority so the four-fold stacking is not flattened into repetition.
Might Power
Approved rendering: পৰাক্ৰম
Transliteration: porakrom
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Original: κράτος
Category: God
NEW term (κράτος, Jude 1:25), distinguished from the baseline’s ঈশ্বৰৰ শক্তি (‘power of God,’ a different Greek word, δύναμις, Romans 1:16) to preserve the doxology’s four-fold distinctness.
Authority
Approved rendering: অধিকাৰ
Transliteration: odhikar
Doctrine: Doxology and God’s Preserving Power
Original: ἐξουσία
Category: Authority
NEW term (ἐξουσία, Jude 1:25), the fourth of the stacked doxological nouns, directly answering the false teachers’ rejection of dominion_kyriotes in 1:8.
Enoch
Approved rendering: হনোক
Transliteration: Hônôk
Doctrine: Inspiration and Use of Prophetic Tradition
NEW proper-noun entry, previously absent from both the Romans baseline and the initial Jude glossary despite being required by Jude 1:14. Established per Assamese Bible Society transliteration convention (parallel to Dayud, Moci, Jicoya already fixed in the baseline). MANDATORY clarifying note required: Jude’s citation of Enoch’s prophecy (from 1 Enoch, a non-canonical apocalyptic text) affirms the truthfulness of this specific prophetic statement without placing the entire source book on par with canonical Scripture — parallel to the baseline’s existing caution about the Ekasarana tradition’s own near-canonical devotional text, the Assamese Bhagavata.
Michael
Approved rendering: মীখায়েল
Transliteration: Mikhayel
Doctrine: Angelic Rebellion and Rejection of Authority
NEW proper-noun entry, previously absent from both the Romans baseline and the initial Jude glossary despite being required by Jude 1:9. Established per Assamese Bible Society transliteration convention. MANDATORY doctrinal caution: Jehovah’s Witnesses’ New World Translation and Watchtower study apparatus identify ‘Michael the archangel’ as the prehuman/heavenly identity of Jesus Christ. This curriculum must present Michael as a distinct CREATED angelic being, consistent with the baseline’s Sonship-of-Christ and Deity-of-Christ Critical-risk doctrines; no cross-reference, footnote, or teaching note in this curriculum’s output may suggest or imply a Michael = Jesus identification.
