Core Glossary

Core Glossary: Luke 1–24 (English → Kashmiri)

This glossary consolidates every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, across the whole of Luke’s Gospel. Terms already present in the baseline Romans translation_memory.json are marked Reused and their recorded rendering is carried over exactly, unchanged. Terms new to the Luke curriculum are marked New and are proposed here for addition to translation memory in subsequent Phase 1 steps. Risk tiers (Critical/High/Medium/Low) follow the same definitions as the baseline doctrine_risk_registry.json.

B. New Terms Introduced by Luke’s Curriculum (proposed for translation memory)

#	English Term	Kashmiri	Transliteration	Literal Meaning	Risk	Chapters	Doctrine Link	Key Collision / Note
1	repentance	توبہ	taubah	”turning back”	Critical	1, 3, 5, 13, 15, 24	Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins	Standard Islamic term for self-initiated turning-back from sin, conditioned on regret/cessation/restitution; biblical repentance is God-granted heart-change inseparable from grace, not a merit-earning act. No Trika equivalent (no ultimate self-other guilt).
2	forgiveness (of sins)	معافی	mu’āfī	”pardon”	High	1, 3, 5, 7, 11, 17, 23, 24	Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins	Must not be confused with, or substitute for, راستباز ٹھہرایہ گیہ (justification), per the baseline’s own existing caution.
3	mercy	رحم	rahm	”compassion/pity”	High	1, 6, 10, 15, 18	Jesus’ Compassion; Repentance and Forgiveness	Already flagged in Romans baseline as a supporting synonym for grace only; here it becomes a primary term and must be taught as covenant-keeping steadfast kindness, not Islamic deeds-weighed responsive mercy alone.
4	virgin	کنواری	kunwārī	”unmarried maiden”	High	1	Incarnation	Genuine common ground with Quran 19:20 (Mary’s virginity affirmed); risk is assuming shared belief in the Incarnation itself, which Islamic theology rejects.
5	Most High	تعالیٰ / خُدایِ تعالیٰ	Ta’ālā	”exalted, highest”	Medium	1, 6, 8	Deity of Christ	Shared honorific with Islamic “Allah Ta’ala”; ensure consistent Trinitarian reference.
6	redemption	چھٹکارا	chhuṭkārā	”deliverance”	High	1, 2, 21	Salvation	Ransom-based costly deliverance, distinct from bare نجات; must not read as vague “help.”
7	blessed	مبارک	mubārak	”blessed, festive”	High	1, 6, 19	Good News to the Poor; Kingdom Reversal	Risk of shallow “fortunate/festive” reading (cf. Eid Mubarak); must convey God’s subversive favor on the marginalized.
8	servant	خادم	khādim	”one who serves”	Medium	1	Adoption; Discipleship	Also names a Sufi shrine-caretaker in regional usage; clarify direct service to God, not shrine intermediary role.
9	Savior	نجات دِنہ وٲل	najāt dinuk wāl	”the one who gives salvation”	Critical	2	Jesus as Savior for All Nations	Descriptive compound built on established نجات; must connect to Christ’s finished work, not deeds-weighing.
10	baptism	بپتِسمہ	baptismah	(transliterated)	High	3	Repentance and Forgiveness	Must be distinguished from Islamic ritual ablution (wuzu/ghusl); signifies repentance and incorporation into Christ’s community.
11	temptation	آزمایش	āzmā’ish	”trial, test”	Medium	4	(Christ’s obedience)	Shared with Islamic testing vocabulary; clarify solicitation-to-sin sense specifically.
12	devil / Satan	شیطان	shaitān	”adversary”	Medium	4, 10, 22	(Spiritual conflict)	Genuine Quranic point of contact (Iblis/Shaitan); fall-narratives differ and should not be assumed identical.
13	authority	اختیار	ikhtiyār	”authority, right to act”	Medium	4, 5, 20	Deity of Christ; Lordship	Distinguish Christ’s unique divine authority from ordinary human/political authority.
14	worship	عبادت	ibādat	”worship, ritual devotion”	Critical	4, 24	Deity of Christ	Primary Islamic term for exclusive worship owed to Allah alone (Tawhid); its use toward Christ must be taught as a direct assertion of his deity.
15	Son of Man	اِنسانَس پُتر	insānas putr	”son of the human/man”	Critical	5, 9, 12, 18, 19, 21, 22, 23, 24	Deity/Humanity of Christ	Jesus’ characteristic self-title combining true humanity and unique divine authority (Daniel 7 background); must not be confused with “Son of God” nor flattened to mere “a human being.” No Islamic equivalent category.
16	sinner	گناہگار	gunāhgār	”sin-doer”	Medium	5, 7, 15, 18	Compassion and Table Fellowship	Must avoid caste-adjacent connotations of ritual untouchability.
17	table fellowship	ہمگام کھٲنہ	humgām khānh	”eating together”	Medium	5, 7, 15, 19	Compassion and Table Fellowship	Deliberate, honor-defying inclusion of the marginalized and sinful, not a casual social meal.
18	physician	حکیم	ḥakīm	”healer, physician”	Low	5	(supporting metaphor)	Standard term, minimal risk.
19	woe	ہاۓ افسوس	hāy afsos	”alas, lament”	Medium	6, 10, 11	Kingdom Reversal	Must retain prophetic judgment-oracle force, paired antithetically with “blessed.”
20	love (agape)	محبت	muḥabbat	”love”	High	6, 7, 10	Cost of Discipleship	Must be distinguished from Sufi عشق (ishq, mystical divine-union love, central to the Lal Ded/Nund Rishi poetic tradition); agape is costly, willed, ethical love toward an actual enemy.
21	enemy	دشمن	dushman	”enemy, foe”	Low	6	Cost of Discipleship	Supporting term for the love command.
22	the Coming One	اَمُت وول	āmut wôl	”the one who is to come”	High	7	Messianic Promise	Must be tied explicitly to established مسیح (Messiah) as a synonymous title.
23	stumbling block	ٹھوکر	ṭhokar	”stumble”	Medium	7	(Christ’s identity questioned)	Straightforward, minor risk.
24	unclean spirit	ناپاک روح	nāpāk rūḥ	”impure spirit”	Medium	4, 8	(Spiritual conflict)	Must be kept sharply distinct from پاک روح (Holy Spirit, Critical); deliberate biblical antonym, not to be confused in translation or teaching.
25	parable	تمثیل	tamsīl	”likeness, allegory”	Low	8 and throughout	Kingdom Present and Future	Genre marker; a wisdom-teaching form revealing kingdom truth, not a simple moral fable.
26	mystery / secrets (of the kingdom)	راز	rāz	”secret”	High	8	Kingdom Present and Future	Must not be conflated with Sufi batin esoteric knowledge or Trika’s guru-transmitted esoteric philosophy; kingdom mystery is God-initiated revealed disclosure.
27	word of God	خُدایُک کلام	Khudāyuk kalām	”God’s word/speech”	Medium	8	Inspiration of Scripture	Ties to existing High-risk Scripture doctrine.
28	cross	صلیب	salīb	”cross”	Critical	9, 14, 23	Cost of Discipleship; Resurrection of Christ	Directly implicated in the crucifixion-denial issue (Quran 4:157); the historical event must be affirmed plainly before the discipleship metaphor is taught.
29	deny self	پان اِنکار کرُن	pān inkār karun	”refuse/deny oneself”	Medium	9	Cost of Discipleship	Straightforward moral-volitional term.
30	disciple	شاگرد	shāgird	”pupil, apprentice”	Critical	5, 6, 9-22 passim	Cost of Discipleship	MUST NOT use مُرید (murid), the Sufi devotee-to-pir term central to the Kashmiri Rishi order, which would wrongly frame Christian discipleship as devotion to a venerated human spiritual master rather than total allegiance to Christ as Lord. On par with رسول (apostle) in priority.
31	neighbor	ہمسایہ	humsāyah	”neighbor”	Medium	10	Jesus’ Compassion	Ethically universal category crossing religious-communal boundaries (Good Samaritan); handle regional communal-history parallels with care.
32	compassion	تَرس آیہ	taras āyi	”pity/compassion came”	Medium	7, 10, 15	Jesus’ Compassion	Visceral, action-producing compassion, not abstract or ritual mercy.
33	prayer	دُعا	du’ā	”supplication”	High	3, 5, 6, 9, 11, 18, 19, 22	Prayer and Dependence on God	Must be taught as intimate filial address enabled through Christ, building on established باپت/ابّا, distinct from ritual salah performance.
34	hypocrite	منافق	munāfiq	”hypocrite”	Medium-High	6, 11, 12, 13	(Religious authenticity)	Loaded Quranic moral category (al-Munafiqun); good point of contact, confirm full moral weight carries over.
35	sign	نِشان	nishān	”sign, mark”	Medium	11	Fulfillment of Prophecy	Sign of Jonah as resurrection-typology; not to be read as mere miracle-spectacle.
36	little flock	چھوٹ ریوڑ	chhōṭ rewaṛ	”small flock”	Low	12	Kingdom Present and Future	Pastoral image of God’s tender care for his people.
37	watchfulness	بیدار رہُن	bēdār rahun	”remain awake”	Low	12, 21	Kingdom Present and Future	Eschatological alertness.
38	division, not peace	تقسیم, نہٕ امن	taqsīm, nah amn	”division, not peace”	Medium	12	Peace with God (contrast)	Inverts the expected sense of established امن; must be handled with the same regional sensitivity.
39	narrow door	تنٛگ دَر	tang dar	”narrow gate/door”	Low	13	Kingdom Present and Future	Straightforward image of costly entry.
40	banquet / feast	دعوت	da’wat	”invitation, feast”	Medium	14	Good News to the Poor	Double resonance with Islamic da’wah (missionary call); positive point of contact if taught as Christ’s own wide gospel invitation.
41	joy	خوشی	khوshī	”joy, gladness”	Low	15, 24	Cost and Joy of Discipleship	God’s own joy at repentance; closing note of the whole Gospel.
42	lost	لوٹمُت	loṭmut	”strayed, lost”	Medium	15, 19	Repentance and Forgiveness; Savior for All	Pairs with “seek and save” thesis verse (19:10).
43	mammon	مال و دولت	māl o daulat	”wealth, riches”	Medium	16	(Discipleship and possessions)	Wealth personified as rival master; not neutral material possession.
44	rich	دولتمند	daulatmand	”wealthy”	Low	16, 18	Savior for All People (Rich and Poor)	Contrast term to غریب (poor).
45	Hades	دوزخ	dozakh	”hell, netherworld”	High	16	(Eschatology)	Must be clarified as realm-of-the-dead-awaiting-judgment in this parable’s narrative logic, distinct from Islamic Jahannam sequencing and from Puranic/cyclical-rebirth cosmology.
46	kingdom of God within/among you	خُدایُک بادشاہت توہی منٛز چھُ	Khudāyuk bādshāhat tohi manz chhu	”the kingdom of God is within/among you”	Critical	17	Kingdom of God Present and Future	Extremely close conceptual neighbor to Kashmir Shaivism’s pratyabhijna (self-recognition of one’s own already-present Shiva-consciousness); must be taught as Christ’s own objective royal reign breaking in among his hearers, centered on a distinct divine King, not an inward realization of one’s own innate divinity. Same priority tier as Grace/Shaktipat in the Romans baseline.
47	seek and save the lost	لوٹمُتن ژھانٛڈنہ تہٕ بچاوُن	loṭmutan jhānḍnah tah bachāwun	”to seek and save the lost”	Critical	19	Savior for All Nations and All People	Thesis-verse of the whole Gospel (19:10); lock this rendering for cross-document consistency, parallel to Romans 1:16-17.
48	blood (of the covenant)	خون	khūn	”blood”	Critical	22	Repentance and Forgiveness; Atonement	Must convey genuine sacrificial atoning bloodshed; directly implicated in the crucifixion-denial risk (Quran 4:157); no Trika equivalent category.
49	new covenant	نوٕی عہد	nawe ‘ahd	”new covenant”	Critical	22	Fulfillment of Prophecy	Fulfills, does not merely supersede, the Old Covenant (عہد); avoid a Quranic-supersession reading.
50	body (given for you)	جِسم	jism	”body”	High	22	Incarnation; Atonement	Must be affirmed as Christ’s genuine, distinct physical body, not an appearance-only/docetic reading.
51	remembrance	یاد	yād	”memory, remembrance”	Low	22	(Lord’s Supper)	Straightforward.
52	crucify	صلیب دِنہ	salīb dinah	”to crucify”	Critical	23	Resurrection of Christ	Direct narration of the event mainstream Sunni interpretation of Quran 4:157 denies; must be stated as plain historical fact.
53	paradise	جنت	jannat	”paradise”	High	23	Savior for All People; Repentance and Forgiveness	Consistent with the baseline’s carve-out (جنت valid as paradise-destination itself); teach as granted by Christ’s sovereign word alone to the repentant thief, with zero preceding merit — sharp contrast to deeds-weighed entry to jannah.
54	synagogue	عبادت خانہ	ibādat khānah	”house of worship”	Medium	4 (core passage), 6, 13	(Setting of ministry)	Must never be rendered مسجد or مندر per the baseline’s existing church-term caution; qualify as the Jewish place of gathering and Torah-reading.
55	Sabbath	سبت	sabt	”Sabbath, seventh day”	Low-Medium	4 (core passage), 6, 13, 14	(Old Covenant practice)	Distinguish from the Islamic Friday (Jumu’ah) worship rhythm.
56	scroll / book (of Isaiah)	کتاب	kitāb	”book, writing”	Low-Medium	4 (core passage)	Inspiration of Scripture; Fulfillment of Prophecy	Resonance with Quranic self-designation “al-Kitab”; qualify as referring specifically to Isaiah’s prophetic book.
57	anointed	مسح کرمُت	masaḥ karmut	”anointed, smeared with oil”	Critical	4 (core passage)	Messianic Promise	Shares its root (م-س-ح) with established مسیح (Messiah); this etymological connection is the theological center of the core passage and must be taught explicitly.
58	poor	غریب	gharīb	”poor, destitute”	High	4 (core passage), 6, 7, 14, 16, 19, 21	Good News to the Poor and Marginalized	Must retain both economic and social dimensions; not to be spiritualized away or read through a caste-adjacent purity lens.
59	sent	رَوان کرمُت	rawān karmut	”sent, dispatched”	Medium-High	4 (core passage)	Apostleship (etymological link)	Shares its conceptual root with established رسول (apostle, from Arabic r-s-l, “to send”).
60	proclaim / preach	منادی کرُن	munādī karun	”to proclaim publicly”	Medium	4 (core passage), 9, 24	Mission to the Nations	Consistent with established انجیلہ ہنٛز منادی compound.
61	release / liberty	رِہائی	rihā’ī	”release, freedom”	High	4 (core passage), 21	Good News to the Poor; Repentance and Forgiveness	Same Greek root (ἄφεσις) as “forgiveness of sins” elsewhere in Luke; this wordplay is lost in translation and must be flagged via translator’s note at every occurrence.
62	captives	قیدی	qaidī	”prisoner, captive”	Medium	4 (core passage)	Good News to the Poor	Preserve both literal and figurative (bondage to sin) senses.
63	recovery of sight / blind	نظر واپس اَمُن / اندھ	naz̤ar wāpas amun / andh	”sight returning / blind”	Medium	4 (core passage), 18	Good News to the Poor and Marginalized	Preserve both literal healing and figurative spiritual-sight senses.
64	oppressed / crushed	دبٲیمت	dabāyimat	”crushed, oppressed”	Medium	4 (core passage)	Good News to the Poor and Marginalized	Reinforces the “marginalized” pole distinct from mere poverty.
65	the acceptable year of the Lord	خُداوندَس منظور ورؠ	Khudāwandas manzūr wareh	”the Lord’s acceptable/favorable year”	High	4 (core passage)	Kingdom of God Present and Future	Direct Jubilee (Leviticus 25) allusion requiring explicit OT background teaching; risk of a shallow “good year/prosperity” misreading.
66	today	اَز	az	”today, this day”	Medium	4 (core passage), 19, 23	Kingdom of God Present and Future	Recurring Lukan marker of salvation’s present in-breaking; flag for consistency across all three occurrences.
67	fulfilled	پُوری تھِیُن	pūrī thyun	”become complete, fulfilled”	High	4 (core passage), 24	Fulfillment of Prophecy	Must convey decisive, personal, once-for-all fulfillment in Christ, not a Quranic-supersession model.
68	Scripture	پاک صحیفہ	pāk saḥīfah	”holy writing”	High	4 (core passage), 24	Inspiration of Scripture	Distinguish from the Islamic tahrif doctrine of textual corruption.

C. Cross-Document Consistency Locks (per baseline’s consistency rules)

The following renderings must remain identical, verbatim, across every future Phase 2 document derived from this Language Package, in the same manner the baseline locks Romans 1:16-17, 8:28, and 10:9-10:

Luke 4:18-19 (core passage, “Spirit of the Lord is upon me… to proclaim the acceptable year of the Lord”) — full rendering as given in Part 1 above.
Luke 4:21 (“Today this Scripture is fulfilled in your hearing”) — اَز پُوری تھیو یہٕ صحیفہ توہٕنٛدِ کَنہٕ منز, built from اَز + پُوری تھِیُن + پاک صحیفہ.
Luke 19:10 (“The Son of Man came to seek and save the lost”) — اِنسانَس پُتر آمت چھُ لوٹمُتن ژھانٛڈنہ تہٕ بچاوُن.
Luke 24:47 (“repentance and forgiveness of sins should be preached in his name to all nations”) — توبہ تہٕ گناہن ہنٛز معافی سٲری غیر-قومن باپت تِہٕنٛدِ ناوَس منٛز منادی کرنہٕ گژھی.

This glossary, together with 07_semantic_analysis.md, constitutes the complete Phase 1 Step 1 deliverable for the Luke curriculum and must be loaded alongside the baseline Romans Language Package (never in place of it) for all subsequent Phase 1 and Phase 2 work.

Critical Risk Terms

Grace

Approved rendering: فضل
Transliteration: faz’l
Doctrine: Grace
Rejected alternatives: شکتی پات (Shaktipat, the Kashmir Shaivite descent of divine power/grace, never use as a substitute), رحم (mercy in the general Islamic sense, supporting synonym only, never a replacement)
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation

CRITICAL: must be taught as unearned favor apart from human merit, guarding against both the mainstream Islamic deeds-weighed mercy frame and the Trika shaktipat frame. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Underlies the Prodigal Son’s welcome (Luke 15:20-24) and Zacchaeus’s unearned reception (19:1-10).]

Righteousness

Approved rendering: راستبازی
Transliteration: rāstbāzī
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: تقویٰ (piety/God-consciousness, an Islamic virtue achieved through discipline, too works-oriented)
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation

CRITICAL: right standing before God received through faith, not moral achievement. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Root recurs in Luke at 1:75, 18:9-14 (Pharisee’s self-righteousness), 23:47 (centurion’s confession).]

Justification

Approved rendering: راستباز ٹھہرایہ گیہ
Transliteration: rāstbāz ṭharāyi gyi
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: معافی (forgiveness alone, too narrow)
Original: δικαίωσις
Category: Salvation

CRITICAL: forensic, once-for-all legal declaration; must never be abbreviated to mere معافی. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Directly narrated in Luke 18:14: the tax collector ‘went down to his house justified.’]

Salvation

Approved rendering: نجات
Transliteration: najāt
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: جنت (paradise as a destination, never a stand-alone gloss for salvation itself), موکش (moksha-style liberation, never for Kashmir Shaivite readers), پرتیبھِجنا (pratyabhijna, self-recognition of innate divinity, never a substitute)
Original: σωτηρία
Category: Salvation

CRITICAL: must not be conflated with deeds-weighed entry to paradise nor with epistemic self-recognition. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Anchored in Luke at 1:69,71,77, 2:30, 19:9.]

Apostle

Approved rendering: رسول
Transliteration: rasūl
Doctrine: Apostleship
Rejected alternatives: پیغمبر (prophet, a distinct office, avoid conflating)
Original: ἀπόστολος
Category: Church

CRITICAL: shares its Arabic root with Muhammad’s title (‘Rasūlullāh’); must be explicitly distinguished as a New Testament sent-ministry office, not a claim to Muhammad’s specific prophetic status. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Names the Twelve at Luke 6:13, and recurs at 9:10, 11:49, 17:5, 22:14, 24:10.]

Resurrection

Approved rendering: مُردٕن پؠٹھ زندٕ تھِیُن
Transliteration: murdan pyeṭh zinda thyun
Doctrine: Resurrection of Christ
Original: ἀνάστασις
Category: Eschatology

CRITICAL: descriptive phrase for bodily, historical, once-for-all rising; mainstream Sunni interpretation of Quran 4:157 denies the crucifixion occurred at all. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 24:1-53 narrates this in extended physical detail, including eating fish and inviting the disciples to touch his hands and feet, 24:39-43.]

Lord

Approved rendering: خُداوند
Transliteration: Khudāwand
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: مالِک (owner/master, reserve for ordinary human authority contexts)
Original: κύριος
Category: Christology

CRITICAL: exclusive, supreme Lordship; must not be softened to a venerated Sufi master (pir). [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Applied to Jesus at Luke 2:11 (‘Christ the Lord’) and 20:41-44 (David’s Lord).]

Son Of God

Approved rendering: خُدایہ ہند پُتر
Transliteration: Khudāya hind putr
Doctrine: Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: نبی (a great prophet, an explicit downgrade, rejected)
Original: υἱὸς θεοῦ
Category: Christology

CRITICAL: direct flashpoint against Quran 112’s denial God begets or is begotten. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Announced at the Annunciation, Luke 1:32,35 — Luke’s very first Christological claim — and recurs at 3:22,38, 4:3,9, 8:28, 9:35.]

Incarnation

Approved rendering: خُدا منش رُوپ منز آمت
Transliteration: Khudā manūsh rūp manz āmat
Doctrine: Incarnation
Rejected alternatives: اوتار (avatar, a Vaishnava-style deity-descent, never use)
Original: ὁ λόγος σὰρξ ἐγένετο
Category: Christology

CRITICAL: descriptive compound for the eternal Son’s permanent, unique assumption of human nature. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke’s nativity narrative, 1:26-38 and 2:1-20, is the Gospel’s primary site for this doctrine.]

Messiah

Approved rendering: مسیح
Transliteration: Masīḥ
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Original: Χριστός / מָשִׁיחַ
Category: Christology

CRITICAL: shared Quranic title (al-Masih); mainstream Islamic theology denies Christ’s divinity, atoning death, and resurrection while still using this title. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 2:11,26, 3:15, 4:18 (anointing wordplay), 9:20 (Peter’s confession), 20:41-44, 24:26,46.]

Jesus

Approved rendering: یِسوع
Transliteration: Yisū’
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: عیسیٰ (the Quranic form, reserve only for explicit interfaith-dialogue contexts)
Original: Ἰησοῦς / יֵשׁוּעַ
Category: Christology

CRITICAL: must be used consistently throughout Luke; never عیسیٰ, which would suggest the Quranic figure is interchangeable with the biblical Jesus. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Holy Spirit

Approved rendering: پاک روح
Transliteration: pāk rūḥ
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: روح القدس (Ruh al-Qudus, mainstream Islamic exegesis identifies this with the angel Gabriel; never use interchangeably without explicit distinction)
Original: πνεῦμα ἅγιον
Category: God

CRITICAL: must always be used in full, never bare روح القدس. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke gives the Spirit unusually heavy emphasis: 1:15,35,41,67, 3:16,22, 4:1,14,18, 24:49 (‘power from on high’).]

Father

Approved rendering: باپت
Transliteration: bāpath
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Original: πατήρ
Category: God

God as personal Father; requires explicit relational teaching in a Muslim-majority context where this metaphor is unfamiliar. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 11:1-13 (Lord’s Prayer), 15:11-32 (the Prodigal’s father), 22:42, 23:34,46.]

Repentance

Approved rendering: توبہ
Transliteration: taubah
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Original: μετάνοια / μετανοέω
Category: Repentance

NEW. توبہ is the standard Islamic term for a self-initiated turning-back from sin, contingent on regret, cessation, and resolve (often with restitution), functioning as a human work that merits pardon. Luke’s repentance (3:3,8, 5:32, 13:3,5, 15:7,10,32, 17:3-4, 24:47) must be taught as God-granted heart-change inseparable from grace and forgiveness through Christ, never a self-sufficient merit-earning act. Kashmir Shaivism’s non-dualism has no equivalent category, presupposing no ultimate self-other guilt requiring turning back to a distinct personal God.

Savior

Approved rendering: نجات دِنہ وٲل
Transliteration: najāt dinuk wāl
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew and Gentile, Rich and Poor)
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Salvation

CRITICAL. NEW. Descriptive compound built on established نجات, following the baseline’s compound-phrase pattern. Luke 2:11 announces this title to shepherds — socially marginal figures — itself enacting the ‘good news to the poor’ doctrine; must connect explicitly to Christ’s finished work (cf. Romans 10:9-10), not a deeds-weighing paradigm.

Worship

Approved rendering: عبادت
Transliteration: ibādat
Doctrine: Deity of Christ Demonstrated in Worship
Original: προσκυνέω
Category: God

CRITICAL. NEW. عبادت is the primary Islamic term for exclusive worship owed to Allah alone under Tawhid, asserted by Jesus himself at 4:8 (‘worship the Lord your God and him only’). Its application to the risen Christ at 24:52 is a direct, unavoidable assertion of his deity and must be taught plainly, not softened into veneration of a great teacher.

Son Of Man

Approved rendering: اِنسانَس پُتر
Transliteration: insānas putr
Doctrine: Son of Man Christology
Rejected alternatives: bare ‘a human being’ gloss, rejected — erases the authority claim, must not be confused with خُدایہ ہند پُتر (Son of God), a distinct title
Original: υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
Category: Christology

CRITICAL. NEW. Jesus’ characteristic self-designation combining genuine humanity with unique divine authority (Daniel 7:13-14 background). Occurs roughly 25 times across Luke 5-24 (first at 5:24; also 9:22,26,44,58, 12:8,40, 18:8,31, 19:10, 21:27, 22:22,69, 24:7). Islamic theology has no equivalent apocalyptic category for either this title or Son of God.

Cross

Approved rendering: صلیب
Transliteration: salīb
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Original: σταυρός
Category: Discipleship

CRITICAL. NEW. The metaphorical daily-cross-bearing of Luke 9:23 and 14:27 must be built on the historical crucifixion event (ch. 23) being genuinely affirmed; mainstream Sunni interpretation of Quran 4:157 denies the crucifixion occurred at all, so this carries the same Critical risk already documented for resurrection in the baseline.

Disciple

Approved rendering: شاگرد
Transliteration: shāgird
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Rejected alternatives: مُرید (murid, the South Asian Sufi term for a devotee bound to a pir/spiritual master, MUST NEVER be used)
Original: μαθητής
Category: Discipleship

CRITICAL. NEW. مُرید would wrongly frame Christian discipleship as one instance of the murid-pir devotional relationship central to the Kashmiri Rishi order. شاگرد (neutral ‘pupil/apprentice’) must be filled with Luke’s specific content of total, costly, life-reordering allegiance to Jesus as Lord (5:11,27-28, 9:23-25,57-62, 14:26-33, 18:28-30), not academic pupilage or Sufi-style spiritual apprenticeship. On par with رسول in priority.

Kingdom Within Among

Approved rendering: خُدایُک بادشاہت توہی منٛز چھُ
Transliteration: Khudāyuk bādshāhat tohi manz chhu
Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Original: ἐντὸς ὑμῶν ἐστιν
Category: Kingdom

CRITICAL. NEW. This phrase (Luke 17:20-21) sits extremely close to Kashmir Shaivism’s pratyabhijna doctrine, the self-recognition that one’s own consciousness is already, always, identically Shiva-consciousness. Must be taught as Christ’s own objective royal reign breaking in among/in the midst of his hearers through his person and authority, not an inward realization of hearers’ own innate divinity. Same priority tier as the Grace/Shaktipat distinction in the Romans baseline; also distinguished from a purely future/political reading of ‘kingdom’ relevant to Muslim-majority readers.

Seek And Save Lost

Approved rendering: لوٹمُتن ژھانٛڈنہ تہٕ بچاوُن
Transliteration: loṭmutan jhānḍnah tah bachāwun
Doctrine: Lostness and the Seeking Savior
Original: ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός
Category: Salvation

CRITICAL. NEW. Luke 19:10, the summary thesis-verse of the whole Gospel, parallel in weight to Romans 1:16-17. This rendering must be LOCKED verbatim across every future document derived from this Language Package.

Blood Of Covenant

Approved rendering: خون
Transliteration: khūn
Doctrine: New Covenant and Atonement
Original: αἷμα
Category: Atonement

CRITICAL. NEW. Luke 22:20; must convey genuine sacrificial atoning bloodshed. Directly implicated in the crucifixion-denial risk (Quran 4:157); no equivalent category exists in Trika’s non-dualist framework, which has no place for substitutionary sacrificial atonement.

New Covenant

Approved rendering: نوٕی عہد
Transliteration: nawe ‘ahd
Doctrine: New Covenant and Atonement
Original: καινὴ διαθήκη
Category: Covenant

CRITICAL. NEW. Luke 22:20; must convey a genuinely new, blood-sealed covenant that fulfills, not merely repeats or is superseded by, the Old Covenant established via عہد; avoid a Quranic-supersession reading of revelation.

Crucify

Approved rendering: صلیب دِنہ
Transliteration: salīb dinah
Doctrine: Historicity of the Crucifixion
Original: σταυρόω
Category: Christology

CRITICAL. NEW. Luke 23:21,23,33; this is the direct narration of the very event mainstream Sunni interpretation of Quran 4:157 denies occurred; must be stated as plain historical fact, with no hedging — arguably the single highest-stakes term in the entire book for this collision.

Anointed

Approved rendering: مسح کرمُت
Transliteration: masaḥ karmut
Doctrine: Messianic Anointing
Original: χρίω
Category: Christology

CRITICAL. NEW. Shares its Arabic triliteral root (م-س-ح) with established مسیح (Masih); this etymological connection is the theological center of the core passage (Luke 4:18) and must not be flattened into a generic ‘empowered’ or ‘chosen’ gloss that loses the Messiah connection.

High Risk Terms

Gospel

Approved rendering: انجیل
Transliteration: Injīl
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: اچھی خبر (a plain descriptive gloss, acceptable only as an explanatory aside)
Original: εὐαγγέλιον
Category: Salvation

انجیل (Injil) is the term used in existing Kashmiri Bible-translation work and shared with Quranic vocabulary, where mainstream Islamic teaching holds it names a scripture given to Isa later corrupted (tahrif). Must be explicitly taught as carrying the actual New Testament content rather than assumed shared. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Recurs in Luke at 2:10, 4:18, 9:6, 20:1.]

Faith

Approved rendering: ایمان
Transliteration: īmān
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: یقین (certainty/conviction, too intellectual/impersonal alone)
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith

Object of faith must be made explicit as personal trust in Christ specifically, not confessional submission to a system. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Recurs in Luke at 5:20, 7:9,50, 8:25,48,50, 17:5-6,19, 18:8,42.]

Called

Approved rendering: سَدہ گیہ
Transliteration: sada gyi
Doctrine: Divine Calling
Rejected alternatives: دعوت دِنہ (invited, too weak)
Original: κλητός
Category: Salvation

Context-sensitive across ministry-calling, sainthood, and effectual-calling senses. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Underlies the calling of the first disciples, Luke 5:1-11, 27-28, and the sending of the Twelve/Seventy-Two.]

Calling

Approved rendering: سَدنُک
Transliteration: sadanuk
Doctrine: Divine Calling
Original: κλῆσις
Category: Salvation

Noun form for the act/state of being called; sovereign summons, not human-initiated seeking or impersonal fate. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Holy

Approved rendering: پاک
Transliteration: pāk
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: صاف (physically clean, ritual-ablution sense, avoid as a substitute)
Original: ἅγιος
Category: Sanctification

Moral purity and set-apartness for God, not ritual-ablution cleanliness. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Applied in Luke at 1:15,35,49,72,75.]

Saints

Approved rendering: پاک لوکہ
Transliteration: pāk lūkh
Doctrine: Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: ولی (a Sufi saint venerated at a shrine, never use for the corporate biblical sense)
Original: ἅγιοι
Category: Church

Corporate designation for all believers, not an ascetic/venerated elite. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Sanctification

Approved rendering: پاکیزگی
Transliteration: pākīzagī
Doctrine: Sanctification
Original: ἁγιασμός
Category: Sanctification

The Spirit’s ongoing work of making believers holy, distinct from ritual purification and from Trika disciplines of recognizing already-present purity. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Adoption

Approved rendering: خدا ہند فرزند بنٲوُن
Transliteration: Khudā hind farzand banāwun
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family
Original: υἱοθεσία
Category: Salvation

Full legal son-status with inheritance rights, running against Islamic law’s narrow kafala-only approach. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. The Prodigal Son narrative, Luke 15:11-32, is Luke’s central enactment of this doctrine, contrasting the father’s full restoration of sonship (15:22-24) with the son’s own expectation of mere servant status (15:19,21).]

Law

Approved rendering: شریعت
Transliteration: sharī’at
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Original: νόμος
Category: Covenant

Standard term for the Mosaic Law/Torah; distinct from a comprehensive Sharia-style life-code. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 16:16-17 and 24:44 pair Law with Prophets as fulfilled, not superseded, in Christ.]

Sin

Approved rendering: گناہ
Transliteration: gunāh
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Original: ἁμαρτία
Category: Sin

Real moral guilt before a personal, distinct God; Trika’s non-dualism has no equivalent self-other separation category. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Foundational to Luke’s repentance passages: 3:3, 5:20-24, 7:47-49, 11:4, 15, 24:47.]

Glory

Approved rendering: جلال
Transliteration: jalāl
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: δόξα
Category: God

God’s radiant honor, anchored to Christ’s own self-existent glory. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 2:9,14,32, 9:31-32 (Transfiguration), 21:27 (Son of Man coming in glory).]

Power Of God

Approved rendering: خُدایُک قوت
Transliteration: Khudāyuk quwwat
Doctrine: Power of God for Salvation
Rejected alternatives: شکتی (Shakti, Kashmir Shaivism’s dynamic divine energy concept, avoid as the primary term)
Original: δύναμις θεοῦ
Category: God

قوت preferred over شکتی, which carries specific Trika philosophical weight. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 1:35, 4:14,36, 24:49 (‘power from on high’).]

Election

Approved rendering: خُدایُک چُنٲوُن
Transliteration: Khudāyuk chunāwun
Doctrine: Effectual Calling
Rejected alternatives: قسمت (fate, tied to Islamic taqdir, use with caution)
Original: ἐκλογή
Category: Salvation

God’s sovereign, personal, relational choice, distinct from impersonal predetermination. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 18:7 (‘his elect who cry to him day and night’).]

Providence

Approved rendering: خُدایُک انتظام
Transliteration: Khudāyuk intizām
Doctrine: Providence
Rejected alternatives: قسمت (fate/taqdir, use with caution)
Original: πρόνοια
Category: God

God’s personal, purposive care, more relational than impersonal fatalism. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 12:6-7,22-32 (the Father’s care for sparrows and lilies) is the key text.]

God

Approved rendering: خُدا
Transliteration: Khudā
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Original: θεός / אֱלֹהִים
Category: God

Universal term for God across Muslim and Christian Kashmiri speakers; must be presented consistently in Trinitarian, Christ-centered terms. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Abba

Approved rendering: ابّا
Transliteration: Abbā
Doctrine: Adoption into God’s Family

Aramaic term of intimacy preserved as a transliteration alongside باپت. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Relevant to Luke’s Lord’s Prayer (11:2) and Gethsemane (22:42) register of intimate address.]

Forgiveness Of Sins

Approved rendering: معافی
Transliteration: mu’āfī
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Original: ἄφεσις ἁμαρτιῶν
Category: Repentance

NEW. The remission of the debt and guilt of sin. Must not substitute for or be confused with راستباز ٹھہرایہ گیہ (justification), per the baseline’s own existing caution that forgiveness alone is too narrow to carry the forensic declaration. Luke 1:77, 3:3, 5:20-24, 7:47-49, 11:4, 24:47.

Mercy

Approved rendering: رحم
Transliteration: rahm
Doctrine: The Mercy of God
Original: ἔλεος
Category: God

NEW (promoted from Romans-baseline supporting-synonym status to a primary term in Luke). Must be taught as God’s covenant-keeping steadfast kindness flowing from his own character, not the deeds-weighed responsive compassion of mainstream Islamic soteriology. Central to the Magnificat (1:50,54,58,72,78), 6:36, 18:13,38-39. Confirm this scope-expansion with a native theologian before final lock.

Virgin

Approved rendering: کنواری
Transliteration: kunwārī
Doctrine: Incarnation and Virgin Birth
Original: παρθένος
Category: Christology

NEW. Genuine common ground with Quran 19:20, which also affirms Mary’s virginity; the risk is not denial of the fact but assuming this shared affirmation implies shared belief in the Incarnation itself, which Islamic theology firmly rejects. Luke 1:27,34.

Redemption

Approved rendering: چھٹکارا
Transliteration: chhuṭkārā
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People (Jew and Gentile, Rich and Poor)
Original: λύτρωσις / ἀπολύτρωσις
Category: Salvation

NEW. Costly, ransom-based deliverance accomplished by decisive divine action; distinct from generic نجات and must not collapse into a vague ‘help’ or ‘blessing.’ Luke 1:68 (Zechariah), 2:38 (Anna), 21:28 (eschatological redemption drawing near).

Blessed

Approved rendering: مبارک
Transliteration: mubārak
Doctrine: Kingdom Reversal: Blessed and Woe
Original: μακάριος
Category: Kingdom

NEW. مبارک is the standard Perso-Arabic term for ‘blessed/festive’ (cf. Eid Mubarak), risking a shallow ‘fortunate’ reading. Must be taught as God’s subversive kingdom-reversal favor in the Beatitudes (6:20-22) and at 1:42,45,48, 19:38.

Baptism

Approved rendering: بپتِسمہ
Transliteration: baptismah
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Rejected alternatives: ritual ablution (wuzu/ghusl) framing, rejected
Original: βάπτισμα
Category: Repentance

NEW. Transliterated loan following regional Christian convention; must be clearly distinguished from Islamic ritual ablution before prayer — baptism signifies repentance and incorporation into the Messiah’s community. Luke 3:3,12,21.

Love Agape

Approved rendering: محبت
Transliteration: muḥabbat
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Rejected alternatives: عشق (ishq, the Sufi/Lal Ded mystical divine-union love tradition, never use as a substitute)
Original: ἀγάπη / ἀγαπάω
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Must be distinguished from عشق, which centers on the soul’s absorption into the divine rather than deliberate, costly ethical love toward an actual human adversary. Luke 6:27,32,35, 7:42,47, 10:27.

The Coming One

Approved rendering: اَمُت وول
Transliteration: āmut wôl
Doctrine: Messianic Anointing
Original: ὁ ἐρχόμενος
Category: Christology

NEW. A messianic-expectation title (Luke 7:19-20, John’s disciples’ question); must be tied explicitly to established مسیح so it is understood as a synonymous title, not a separate, unrelated figure.

Mystery

Approved rendering: راز
Transliteration: rāz
Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Original: μυστήριον
Category: Kingdom

NEW. Must not be conflated with the Sufi batin (hidden/esoteric) category or Trika’s guru-transmitted esoteric philosophical knowledge; Luke 8:10 presents this as truth God discloses by his own initiative, not a secret gnosis for initiated elites.

Prayer

Approved rendering: دُعا
Transliteration: du’ā
Doctrine: Prayer and Dependence on God
Original: προσευχή / προσεύχομαι
Category: Prayer

NEW. دُعا is shared with (and distinct from) formal ritual Islamic salah; must be taught as intimate filial address to the Father made possible through Christ, building on established باپت/ابّا. A major Lukan emphasis: 3:21, 5:16, 6:12, 9:18,28-29, 11:1-13, 18:1-8,9-14, 22:39-46.

Hypocrite

Approved rendering: منافق
Transliteration: munāfiq
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Original: ὑποκριτής
Category: Ethics

NEW. منافق is a serious, loaded Islamic theological category (the Munafiqun condemned in the Quran) — a genuine point of contact for the seriousness of the charge; confirm the full moral weight carries over rather than being softened to mere ‘two-facedness.’ Luke 11:44, 12:1, 13:15.

Hades

Approved rendering: دوزخ
Transliteration: dozakh
Doctrine: Eschatological Judgment and the Afterlife
Original: ᾅδης
Category: Eschatology

NEW. دوزخ is the standard Perso-Islamic term for hell/the fire; must be clarified as the realm of the dead awaiting judgment in this parable’s narrative logic (16:23), distinct from a purely punitive Islamic Jahannam-after-judgment sequence and from Puranic/cyclical-rebirth cosmology relevant to Trika-shaped Pandit readers’ broader cultural context.

Body

Approved rendering: جِسم
Transliteration: jism
Doctrine: New Covenant and Atonement
Rejected alternatives: appearance-only/docetic reading, rejected
Original: σῶμα
Category: Incarnation

NEW. Luke 22:19; must be affirmed as Christ’s genuine, distinct physical body, consistent with the baseline’s Incarnation entry’s insistence on a fully distinct human nature, relevant again to the Quran 4:157 ‘it was made to appear so’ tradition.

Paradise

Approved rendering: جنت
Transliteration: jannat
Doctrine: Eschatological Judgment and the Afterlife
Original: παράδεισος
Category: Eschatology

NEW. Consistent with the baseline’s carve-out (جنت valid as the paradise-destination itself). Luke 23:43 must be taught with sharp christological emphasis: the repentant thief receives paradise by Jesus’ own sovereign word alone, with zero preceding good deeds — a direct, deliberate contrast with a deeds-weighing entry into jannah.

Poor

Approved rendering: غریب
Transliteration: gharīb
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Original: πτωχός
Category: Compassion

NEW. Must not be spiritualized into an exclusively inward category; Luke’s own pattern (contrasted with دولتمند/‘the rich’ in chs. 16, 18) requires the material dimension to remain visible. Also must not be read through a caste-adjacent purity lens that would misread poverty as moral or ritual inferiority. Luke 4:18, 6:20, 7:22, 14:13,21, 16:19-31.

Sent

Approved rendering: رَوان کرمُت
Transliteration: rawān karmut
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sending
Original: ἀποστέλλω
Category: Apostleship

NEW. Shares its conceptual root with established رسول (apostle, from Arabic r-s-l, ‘to send’). Luke 4:18,43, 9:2, 10:1 describe Jesus’ own sent-ness, which grounds and authorizes the later apostolic sent-ness of the church, without collapsing the two offices into one.

Release Liberty

Approved rendering: رِہائی
Transliteration: rihā’ī
Doctrine: Jubilee Liberation
Original: ἄφεσις
Category: Salvation

NEW. The same Greek root (ἄφεσις) names both this literal-release sense and ‘forgiveness of sins’ (معافی) elsewhere in Luke; this wordplay is lost across the two separate Kashmiri words and MUST be flagged via a mandatory translator’s note at every occurrence (4:18, 21:28 by extension) so the theological connection between Jubilee liberation and forgiveness of sins is taught explicitly, never silently lost.

Acceptable Year Of The Lord

Approved rendering: خُداوندَس منظور ورؠ
Transliteration: Khudāwandas manzūr wareh
Doctrine: Jubilee Liberation
Original: ἐνιαυτὸν Κυρίου δεκτόν
Category: Kingdom

NEW. A direct allusion to the Levitical Year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25) unlikely to be known by Kashmiri readers of either religious background; requires explicit Old Testament background teaching, or it risks a shallow ‘good/blessed year’ (prosperity-adjacent) misreading. Luke 4:19.

Fulfilled

Approved rendering: پُوری تھِیُن
Transliteration: pūrī thyun
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy in Christ
Original: πληρόω
Category: Scripture

NEW. Must convey decisive, personal, once-for-all fulfillment in Christ’s own person and present action (Luke 4:21), not the Quranic prophetology pattern of each revelation superseding a prior one. Theological climax of the core passage; recurs at 24:44.

Scripture

Approved rendering: پاک صحیفہ
Transliteration: pāk saḥīfah
Doctrine: Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture
Original: γραφή
Category: Scripture

NEW. Must be distinguished from the Islamic tahrif doctrine that earlier scriptures were textually corrupted; this Scripture is presented as reliable and now fulfilled, not superseded or corrupted. Luke 4:21, 24:27,32,45.

Medium Risk Terms

Peace

Approved rendering: امن
Transliteration: amn
Doctrine: Peace with God
Original: εἰρήνη
Category: Salvation

Relational, judicial peace through justification, distinct from psychological calm or achievable political settlement; carries heavy contemporary political weight given Kashmir’s conflict history. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 2:14’s ‘peace on earth’ and 19:38’s messianic acclamation must be handled with particular sensitivity, contrasted with 12:51’s ‘division, not peace.’]

Spiritual Gifts

Approved rendering: روحانی نعمتہ
Transliteration: rūḥānī ni’amat
Doctrine: Spiritual Gifts
Rejected alternatives: کرامت (a Sufi saint’s miraculous gift/charism, avoid as the primary term)
Original: χαρίσματα
Category: Church

Spirit-given enablements serving the whole church, not a mark of individual sainthood. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Church

Approved rendering: کلیسیا
Transliteration: kalīsiyā
Doctrine: Church as God’s People
Rejected alternatives: مسجد (mosque, never use), مندر (temple, never use)
Original: ἐκκλησία
Category: Church

The gathered assembly of believers; the term does not occur in Luke’s Gospel itself but is retained for cross-document consistency with Acts and Romans. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly.]

Kingdom Of God

Approved rendering: خُدایُک بادشاہت
Transliteration: Khudāyuk bādshāhat
Doctrine: Kingdom Mission
Original: βασιλεία τοῦ θεοῦ
Category: Kingdom

God’s sovereign reign; must be distinguished from any territorial-political framing given Kashmir’s contested-sovereignty history. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. This is Luke’s most pervasive theme: 4:43, 8:1,10, 9:2,11,27,60,62, 11:20, 13:18-21, 17:20-21, 18:16-17,24-25,29, 21, 22:16-18,29-30.]

Gentiles

Approved rendering: غیر-قوم
Transliteration: ghair-qaum
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles
Original: ἔθνη
Category: Church

Non-Jewish peoples. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 2:32 and 24:47 both extend salvation explicitly to the Gentiles.]

Prophet

Approved rendering: پیغمبر
Transliteration: paighambar
Doctrine: Inspiration of Scripture
Original: προφήτης
Category: Covenant

Standard shared term for OT and Quranic prophetic figures; readers must not assume a Quranic superseding-revelation prophetology. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Isaiah (Luke 4:17), John the Baptist (1:76, 7:26), and Jesus himself (24:19) are each called prophet.]

Prophecy

Approved rendering: پیشن گوئی
Transliteration: pēshan go’ī
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Original: προφητεία
Category: Covenant

Standard descriptive term for prophetic declaration, distinct from astrology or folk fortune-telling. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Zechariah’s prophecy, Luke 1:67-79.]

Covenant

Approved rendering: عہد
Transliteration: ‘ahd
Doctrine: Davidic Covenant
Original: διαθήκη
Category: Covenant

Relational covenant bond. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 1:72-73 (oath to Abraham) and 22:20 (new covenant in Christ’s blood).]

Intercession

Approved rendering: منٛزبولی
Transliteration: manzbolī
Doctrine: Prayer and Intercession
Rejected alternatives: شفاعت (a Sufi saint’s or prophet’s mediating intercession, avoid as a substitute)
Original: ἔντευξις (cf. Rom 8:26 pattern)
Category: Faith

Direct, unmediated prayer on behalf of others. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 22:32 (Jesus praying for Peter) and 22:39-46 (Gethsemane) model this directly.]

Mission

Approved rendering: انجیلہ ہنٛز منادی
Transliteration: Injīla hanz munādī
Doctrine: Mission to the Nations
Original: ἀποστολή / πέμπω
Category: Church

Framed as gentle proclamation and witness, not confrontation, given regional communal sensitivity. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 9:1-6, 10:1-16, 24:47.]

Israel

Approved rendering: اسرائیل
Transliteration: Isrā’īl
Doctrine: Unity of Jews and Gentiles
Original: יִשְׂרָאֵל
Category: Covenant

Standard proper name; note contemporary political sensitivity around this name. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 1:54,68, 2:25,32,34, 24:21.]

Most High

Approved rendering: تعالیٰ / خُدایِ تعالیٰ
Transliteration: Ta’ālā
Doctrine: Sonship of Christ
Original: ὕψιστος
Category: God

NEW. A divine honorific sharing a pattern with Islamic ‘Allah Ta’ala’; ensure consistent Trinitarian, Christ-centered reference across Luke 1:32,35,76, 6:35, 8:28.

Servant

Approved rendering: خادم
Transliteration: khādim
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Original: δοῦλος
Category: Discipleship

NEW. خادم also denotes a Sufi shrine-caretaker in regional usage; clarify this is self-humbling direct service to God (Luke 1:38,48,54), not an intermediary shrine role.

Temptation

Approved rendering: آزمایش
Transliteration: āzmā’ish
Doctrine: The Authority of Christ
Original: πειρασμός
Category: Christology

NEW. Shared with Islamic testing vocabulary (azmaish); clarify Luke 4:1-13 depicts solicitation to sin by the devil, not a neutral divine trial, though God providentially permits it.

Devil Satan

Approved rendering: شیطان
Transliteration: shaitān
Doctrine: The Authority of Christ
Original: διάβολος / Σατανᾶς
Category: Spiritual Conflict

NEW. Genuine point of contact with the Quranic Iblis/Shaitan tradition (Luke 4:2-13, 10:18, 22:3,31); the fall-narratives differ and should not be assumed identical.

Authority

Approved rendering: اختیار
Transliteration: ikhtiyār
Doctrine: The Authority of Christ
Original: ἐξουσία
Category: Christology

NEW. Distinguish Christ’s unique divine authority (4:32,36, 5:24) from ordinary human/political authority (20:2,8,20), a distinction of particular importance given the region’s political sensitivities.

Sinner

Approved rendering: گناہگار
Transliteration: gunāhgār
Doctrine: Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Original: ἁμαρτωλός
Category: Sin

NEW. Must not carry caste-like ritual-untouchability connotations; Luke 5:8,30,32, 7:37,39, 15:1-2,7,10, 18:13 make Christ’s deliberate, honor-defying inclusion of such people central to his ministry.

Table Fellowship

Approved rendering: ہمگام کھٲنہ
Transliteration: humgām khānh
Doctrine: Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Original: συνανάκειμαι
Category: Church

NEW. Culturally significant given South Asian commensality/purity norms; Levi’s feast (5:29-30) and the sinful woman’s meal (7:36-50) frame Jesus’ eating with tax collectors and sinners as deliberate grace and social inclusion, not a casual social event.

Woe

Approved rendering: ہاۓ افسوس
Transliteration: hāy afsos
Doctrine: Kingdom Reversal: Blessed and Woe
Original: οὐαί
Category: Kingdom

NEW. Must retain the force of a judgment-oracle, paired antithetically with the Beatitudes (6:24-26), not merely sympathy or regret; recurs at 10:13, 11:42-52.

Stumbling Block

Approved rendering: ٹھوکر
Transliteration: ṭhokar
Doctrine: Messianic Anointing
Original: σκάνδαλον / σκανδαλίζω
Category: Christology

NEW. Luke 7:23 (‘blessed is the one who is not offended by me’); straightforward.

Unclean Spirit

Approved rendering: ناپاک روح
Transliteration: nāpāk rūḥ
Doctrine: The Authority of Christ
Original: πνεῦμα ἀκάθαρτον
Category: Spiritual Conflict

NEW. Built by negating established پاک; flag the near-homophonous contrast with پاک روح (Holy Spirit, Critical) so translators and readers keep the two sharply distinct — a deliberate biblical antonym pairing, Luke 4:33,36, 8:27-33, 9:42.

Word Of God

Approved rendering: خُدایُک کلام
Transliteration: Khudāyuk kalām
Doctrine: Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture
Original: λόγος τοῦ θεοῦ
Category: Scripture

NEW. Ties to the Inspiration of Scripture doctrine. Luke 8:11,21, 11:28.

Deny Self

Approved rendering: پان اِنکار کرُن
Transliteration: pān inkār karun
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Original: ἀπαρνέομαι
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Luke 9:23; straightforward moral-volitional term.

Neighbor

Approved rendering: ہمسایہ
Transliteration: humsāyah
Doctrine: Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Original: πλησίον
Category: Compassion

NEW. The Good Samaritan (10:27-37) expands this category across the deep Jew-Samaritan divide; must be taught as an ethically universal category crossing religious-communal boundaries, handled with care given Kashmir’s own communal history, without being oversimplified onto it.

Compassion

Approved rendering: تَرس آیہ
Transliteration: taras āyi
Doctrine: Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Original: σπλαγχνίζομαι
Category: Compassion

NEW. A visceral, gut-level movement to costly action, not abstract pity or ritual mercy. Luke 7:13 (widow of Nain), 10:33 (Good Samaritan), 15:20 (the father).

Sign

Approved rendering: نِشان
Transliteration: nishān
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy in Christ
Original: σημεῖον
Category: Scripture

NEW. Luke 11:16,29-30 (‘sign of Jonah’) is resurrection-typology; not to be read as mere miracle-spectacle.

Division Not Peace

Approved rendering: تقسیم
Transliteration: taqsīm
Doctrine: Peace with God and the Division Christ Brings
Original: διαμερισμός
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Inverts the expected sense of established امن; Luke 12:51 must be handled with the same regional sensitivity the baseline assigns to peace itself, taught as a deliberate paradox alongside 2:14’s ‘peace on earth,’ not smoothed over.

Banquet

Approved rendering: دعوت
Transliteration: da’wat
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Original: δεῖπνον
Category: Kingdom

NEW. دعوت also carries the specific Islamic sense of da’wah (the missionary call to Islam); positive point of contact if taught as Christ’s own gospel invitation, deliberately extended to the poor, maimed, blind, and lame (14:13,16-24,21).

Lost

Approved rendering: لوٹمُت
Transliteration: loṭmut
Doctrine: Lostness and the Seeking Savior
Original: ἀπόλλυμι
Category: Salvation

NEW. The condition of being separated from God and in need of rescue; pairs with the ‘seek and save’ thesis verse (19:10). Luke 15:4,6,8-9,24,32.

Mammon

Approved rendering: مال و دولت
Transliteration: māl o daulat
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Original: μαμωνᾶς
Category: Discipleship

NEW. Wealth personified as a rival master competing for ultimate allegiance, not neutral material possession. Luke 16:9,11,13 (‘you cannot serve God and mammon’).

Synagogue

Approved rendering: عبادت خانہ
Transliteration: ibādat khānah
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy in Christ
Rejected alternatives: مسجد (mosque, never use), مندر (temple, never use)
Original: συναγωγή
Category: Setting

NEW. Must be qualified at first use (Luke 4:16) as the Jewish place of gathering and Torah-reading, so readers do not default to a mosque-shaped mental image.

Sabbath

Approved rendering: سبت
Transliteration: sabt
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy in Christ
Original: σάββατον
Category: Covenant

NEW. Distinguish from the Islamic Friday (Jumu’ah) congregational worship rhythm. Luke 4:16, 6:1-11, 13:10-17, 14:1-6.

Scroll Book

Approved rendering: کتاب
Transliteration: kitāb
Doctrine: Inspiration and Fulfillment of Scripture
Original: βιβλίον
Category: Scripture

NEW. کتاب carries resonance with the Quranic self-designation ‘al-Kitab’; qualify at first use (Luke 4:17) as referring specifically to Isaiah’s own prophetic book, not a single all-encompassing revealed Book.

Proclaim Preach

Approved rendering: منادی کرُن
Transliteration: munādī karun
Doctrine: Divine Calling and Sending
Original: κηρύσσω
Category: Mission

NEW. Royal-herald proclamation, not private opinion-sharing; consistency with the established انجیلہ ہنٛز منادی compound should be maintained across all Luke proclamation contexts (4:18-19,44, 9:2, 24:47).

Captives

Approved rendering: قیدی
Transliteration: qaidī
Doctrine: Jubilee Liberation
Original: αἰχμάλωτος
Category: Compassion

NEW. Luke 4:18; ensure it is read literally/socio-politically as well as figuratively (bondage to sin), consistent with the poor/marginalized doctrine.

Recovery Of Sight

Approved rendering: نظر واپس اَمُن / اندھ
Transliteration: naz̤ar wāpas amun / andh
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Original: ἀνάβλεψις / τυφλός
Category: Compassion

NEW. Preserve both literal healing (18:35-43) and figurative spiritual-sight senses; do not flatten to only one. Luke 4:18, 7:21-22, 18:35-43.

Oppressed Crushed

Approved rendering: دبٲیمت
Transliteration: dabāyimat
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Original: τεθραυσμένος
Category: Compassion

NEW. Reinforces the ‘marginalized’ pole of the poor/marginalized doctrine, distinct from mere economic poverty. Luke 4:18.

Today

Approved rendering: اَز
Transliteration: az
Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Original: σήμερον
Category: Kingdom

NEW. A recurring Lukan marker of the present, in-breaking reality of salvation. Luke 4:21, 19:9, 23:43; flag for cross-occurrence consistency.

Transliteration: shukur
Doctrine: Thanksgiving
Original: εὐχαριστία

Standard proper-name form. [Inherited from Romans package; reused exactly. Luke 1:27,32,69, 2:4,11, 3:31, 18:38-39, 20:41-44.]
