Core Glossary — Luke (English → Dogri)

Purpose

This glossary consolidates every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md across the whole of Luke’s Gospel (chapters 1-24), for direct loading into Phase 2 translation memory alongside the Romans baseline. Terms already established in the Romans translation_memory.json are marked “Reused” and must be rendered exactly as recorded there — no deviation permitted. Terms newly required by Luke’s distinct doctrinal content are marked “New” and are proposed here for theologian confirmation and addition to translation memory before Phase 2 begins.

Risk tiers follow the Romans baseline definitions exactly:

• Critical — mistranslation destroys essential doctrine; human theologian review of every occurrence required.
• High — significant theological confusion/syncretism risk; human theologian review required.
• Medium — clarity reduced but core meaning preserved; native speaker review recommended.
• Low — minor imprecision risk; automated review sufficient.

Critical Risk Terms

Grace

Approved rendering: बिना कमाई दित्ती दया
Transliteration: bina kamai ditti daya
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: मन्नत दा फल (Vaishno Devi vow-boon, never use), पुण्य (earned merit, never use)
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation

---

Justification

Approved rendering: धर्मी ठहराए जाना
Transliteration: dharmi thehrae jana
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: माफी मिलना (forgiveness received, too narrow)

Lord

Approved rendering: प्रभु
Transliteration: prabhu
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ

Original: κύριος
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:43, 2:11, 5:8, 19:38, 20:41-44; never महाराजा, which would frame Christ’s Lordship as political-historical.

---

Son Of God

Approved rendering: परमेश्वर दा पुत्तर
Transliteration: Parmeshwar da puttar
Doctrine: Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: अवतार (avatar-descent, explicit downgrade, never use)
Original: υἱὸς θεοῦ / υἱὸς ὑψίστου
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:32, 1:35, 3:22, 4:3, 4:9, 9:35, 22:70; never one avatar among Vishnu’s recognized avatars, given Raghunath Mandir’s Rama devotion.

Messiah

Approved rendering: मसीह
Transliteration: masih
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Original: Χριστός
Category: Christology

Inherited from Romans package. Luke 2:11, 2:26, 3:15, 4:41, 9:20, 22:67, 23:35; not one avatar or deity among many venerated locally.

Transliteration: uddhar karne wala
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People
Rejected alternatives: त्राता (unfamiliar Sanskritized loan), generic avatar-framing
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Salvation

Built on the established Critical उद्धार root (Luke 1:47, 2:11). Never presented as one of several available divine benefactors alongside Rama, Kali, or the Vaishno Devi goddess. Luke 2:11 joins Savior, Christ, and Lord in one verse; all three must appear together without qualification.

---

Demon

Transliteration: dushta atma
Doctrine: Spiritual Warfare and Deliverance from Demons
Rejected alternatives: भूत / भूत-प्रेत (folk ghost/ancestor-spirit terms addressed via an ojha, never use)

Category: Spiritual Warfare

Luke 4:33-36, 4:41, 8:2, 8:26-39, 9:37-43, 11:14-20, 13:32. Deliverance in Luke is Christ’s unique, authoritative command, never a negotiated exorcism ritual.
