What is this?

The Library publishes the doctrine-aware translation research behind tri-bible.ai, one language and book at a time — free to read and reuse.

How to navigate

Pick a language, then a book, in the sidebar. Each book has a Doctrine Analysis, a Core Glossary, and, for the language as a whole, a Comparative Theology and Regional Analysis. Use the search icon in the top nav to jump straight to a term or doctrine instead of browsing.

What the risk tiers mean

Every doctrine and glossary term is labeled with how easily it could be misread or mistranslated in that language's own cultural and religious context:

Critical
A wrong word choice here risks distorting core theology — always reviewed by a theologian before use.
High
A real, well-documented risk of confusion with another tradition or belief system — needs theologian review.
Medium
Worth a native speaker's second look, but not likely to distort the core meaning.
Low
Minor wording nuance — low risk of confusion either way.

Doctrine Analysis

1 Chronicles — Doctrine Analysis (Hmong Language Package)

Part A: Doctrine Matrix

This matrix restates and expands the five doctrines fixed in assets/doctrine_risk_registry.json. IDs, risk levels, and review routing are identical to that registry; this document adds the full chapter-level breakdown required for full-book coverage.

Escalation trigger: every doctrine in this Language Package is Critical or High. There is no Medium/Low doctrine, exactly as in the Romans baseline. All content touching any doctrine below must be routed to human theologian review before publication; no automated-review bypass is permitted.


Doctrine 1 — Genealogy and the Continuity of God’s People

Risk: Critical | Routing: Human theologian

Supporting PassagesTranslation Risk Summary
1 Chr 1:1-54 (Adam→Noah→Abraham→Esau/Israel)Establishes universal-to-particular narrowing; positive bridge via keeb kwm caj ces. No collision, but sets the doctrinal frame all later genealogies depend on.
1 Chr 2:1-55; 4:1-23 (Judah’s line, incl. Jabez 4:9-10)Anchors David’s tribe; Jabez’s answered prayer must use existing kev ntseeg/tus TSWV vocabulary without introducing new merit-framing.
1 Chr 3:1-24 (David’s descendants to Zerubbabel)Continuity of the royal line through exile; cross-references Doctrine 2.
1 Chr 5:1-26, esp. 5:25-26Critical collision anchor. Reuben/Gad/half-Manasseh exiled for having “played the harlot after the gods of the peoples of the land.” Rendered tsis ncaj rau Vajtswv, mus pehawm dab, this describes literal ancestor/nature-spirit veneration structurally identical to practices still living among Hmong families. Must be taught as Chronicles’ specific covenantal argument (why the line of promise runs through Judah, not Reuben), never as a blanket verdict against Hmong ancestors.
1 Chr 6:1-81Levi’s line; anchors Doctrine 3 as well.
1 Chr 7:1-40; 8:1-40Remaining tribes, Benjamin/Saul’s line; sets up ch.10. Low new-term density — reviewed.
1 Chr 9:1-44Post-exilic resettlement; remnant (cov seem) returning to ancestral towns — continuity restored after judgment. Recap of Saul’s genealogy transitions into ch.10.
1 Chr 10:1-14, esp. 10:13-14Critical collision anchor. Saul’s line terminated explicitly because he “consulted a medium (tus nug dab) for guidance.” Direct structural parallel to shamanic (txiv neeb) spirit-consultation. Must never use dignifying vocabulary for tus nug dab, and the causal link (apostasy → line’s end) must be taught explicitly as a covenant-theological argument, not an implicit condemnation of shamanic-practicing relatives.

Chapters reviewed with no new doctrinal content beyond the above: none in 1-10; every chapter in this span carries load-bearing genealogical/doctrinal weight for Doctrine 1.


Doctrine 2 — The Davidic Covenant Reaffirmed

Risk: Critical | Routing: Human theologian

Supporting PassagesTranslation Risk Summary
1 Chr 11:1-3 (David made king at Hebron)Kingship formally established over “all Israel,” fulfilling ch.1-9’s narrowing; anointing term (pleev roj tsa ua vaj ntxwv) introduced.
1 Chr 14:1-2 (“David realized the LORD had established him… his house”)First explicit dynastic-bayit echo before ch.17’s formal covenant; qualifier tsev vaj ntxwv must already be in force here.
1 Chr 17:1-15 (CORE PASSAGE)Reversal pun: David intends to build God a bayit (temple); God promises instead to build David a bayit (dynasty). Requires strict lexical separation: lub Tuam Tsev ntawm Vajtswv (temple) vs. tsev vaj ntxwv (dynasty) — a single bare noun for both collapses the entire literary-theological engine of the chapter.
1 Chr 17:11-14, esp. 17:13 (father-son formula)Critical sub-risk. Kuv yuav ua nws Leej Txiv, thiab nws yuav ua kuv tus tub is Solomon’s adoptive/royal covenantal sonship (cf. Ps 2:7), not ontological deity. Must carry a mandatory cross-reference distinguishing this from Leej Tub ntawm Vajtswv (Christ’s unique full-deity Sonship, Romans TM #7) in every teaching unit that uses both.
1 Chr 17:16-27 (David’s prayer response)David’s “forever” language (17:16,23-24,27) risks assimilation into Hmong praise-poetry’s hyperbolic exaltation of chiefs; must be taught as literal messianic-trajectory promise, not customary flattery.
1 Chr 22:6-13 (David charges Solomon, quoting the ch.17 promise)Repeats and applies the bayit wordplay to the literal building project; qualifier discipline must persist unbroken from ch.17.
1 Chr 28:1-10 (David’s public reaffirmation before the assembly)Public, corporate reaffirmation of the ch.17 covenant; introduces lub zwm txwv (throne) as the visible sign of the promise continuing into Solomon’s reign.
1 Chr 29:22-25 (Solomon anointed a second time, enthroned)Narrative fulfillment-in-miniature; throne/kingdom language must echo ch.17/28 exactly, with no stylistic variation.

Doctrine 3 — Worship and the Levitical Order

Risk: High | Routing: Human theologian

Supporting PassagesTranslation Risk Summary
1 Chr 6:1-81 (Levi/priestly genealogy, cities of refuge)Establishes the eligible priestly line; tus pov thawj must never drift toward txiv neeb or Buddhist monastic vocabulary.
1 Chr 9:17-34 (gatekeepers, Levitical service list, post-exilic)Administrative continuity of the Levitical order after exile; stable terms (#34 gatekeepers).
1 Chr 12:18 (Spirit comes upon Amasai)Occasional, non-indwelling OT empowerment sense of Vaj Ntsuj Plig; “Vaj” prefix non-negotiable even in this transient-empowerment sense, per Romans TM #5.
1 Chr 13:1-14High collision anchor. First (improper) attempt to move the ark; Uzza’s death. Narrative shape (restricted ritual object, severe consequence for mishandling) parallels Hmong household spirit-shrine taboo logic. Must be taught as violation of covenantal command, never as offended-spirit taboo.
1 Chr 15:1-29Proper, Law-ordered transport of the ark; Levites consecrated (muab cais dawb huv rau Vajtswv); musicians appointed. Corrects ch.13’s error — the contrast itself is doctrinally load-bearing and must be preserved.
1 Chr 16:1-43Ark installed; David’s psalm of thanksgiving; continual ministers (tus ua haujlwm pab Vajtswv) appointed before the ark. Anchors both worship-order and (via 16:15-22) Doctrine 5.
1 Chr 23:1-32; 24:1-31; 26:1-32 (Levitical/priestly divisions, gatekeepers, treasurers)Administrative organization of ongoing worship; largely stable terms already logged in 08_core_glossary.md §B (#8, #9, #34, #39, #41). Reviewed — no new collision beyond the standing priest/shaman separation rule.
1 Chr 25:1-31 (musicians, prophesying with instruments)New nuance flag. Spirit-inspired musical “prophesying” (25:1-3) with instruments could echo shamanic instrumental trance-communication (e.g., qeej, gongs) with spirits; must be taught explicitly as Spirit-inspired praise directed to Vajtswv, never ritual trance-technique.

Doctrine 4 — Preparation for the Temple

Risk: High | Routing: Human theologian

Supporting PassagesTranslation Risk Summary
1 Chr 17:1-2, 4, 10-12Origin point of the temple/dynasty wordplay shared with Doctrine 2; qualifier discipline (lub Tuam Tsev ntawm Vajtswv vs. tsev vaj ntxwv) must be identical to ch.17’s Doctrine-2 usage.
1 Chr 21:18-22:1 (altar at Ornan’s threshing floor identified as the future temple site)Bridges Doctrine 5’s plague narrative directly into the temple-preparation storyline; site-selection must be taught as divine designation, not the fruit of a successful appeasement transaction.
1 Chr 22:2-19 (David gathers materials, charges Solomon)Reinforces banah (“build”) as the fixed wordplay verb; David’s exclusion from building (because of bloodshed, 22:8) must not be moralized into a general doctrine of disqualification-by-sin but read within its specific narrative logic.
1 Chr 28:1-21, esp. 28:11-19 (the tabnith/pattern)The temple’s plan is divinely revealed (“the LORD made me understand in writing,” 28:19), not humanly designed; risk of assimilation into Hmong ancestral-transmission-of-ritual-knowledge categories unless anchored explicitly to Vajtswv as source.
1 Chr 29:1-9 (David’s freewill-offering appeal, people’s response)High collision anchor. kev pub siab dawb rau Vajtswv (freewill offering) must be distinguished from votive/bargaining offerings given to secure spirit favor or avert misfortune. The offering is a joyful response to covenant faithfulness already given (ch.17’s chesed), not a transaction that produces or secures it.

Doctrine 5 — God’s Faithfulness across Generations

Risk: Critical | Routing: Human theologian

Supporting PassagesTranslation Risk Summary
1 Chr 16:15-22 (“He remembers His covenant forever… to a thousand generations”)Strong positive bridge to Hmong multigenerational clan-memory consciousness; must be anchored to Vajtswv’s own initiative, not to descendants’ ritual maintenance of the ancestors’ memory.
1 Chr 17:13 (chesed)Critical lexical anchor. Txoj kev hlub ruaj khov must remain lexically distinct from kev hlub (agapē), txoj kev khuv leej (eleos/mercy), and txiaj ntsim (charis/grace) — chesed’s specific sense of unbreakable, unilateral, multigenerational covenant loyalty is this doctrine’s lexical engine and must not be flattened into any neighboring term.
1 Chr 5:25-26 (exile, by contrast)Functions here as the negative foil: national covenant curse (conditional) vs. the unconditional Davidic promise — the two must be kept visibly distinct so hearers do not conclude that God’s faithfulness is equally revocable in both cases.
1 Chr 21:1-17Critical collision anchor. Ntxwg Nyoog (Satan) incites David to take the census; God’s judgment (plague) follows; God then relents (ntxeev dua siab / nacham, 21:15). This sequence must be explicitly taught as God’s own sovereign, righteous judgment and freely-given relenting flowing from His chesed, never as capricious spirit-anger provoked by ritual error and remedied by an appeasement offering — the same distinction the Romans baseline already required for wrath_of_god.
1 Chr 28:9 (David’s charge: “the LORD searches all hearts… serve Him with a whole heart”)Connects covenant faithfulness to the required human response (lub siab kub lug rau Vajtswv), without making God’s faithfulness conditional on that response — the tension between God’s unilateral chesed and the summons to wholehearted obedience must be preserved, not resolved by collapsing one into the other.
