Core Glossary
Core Glossary — Luke | English → Marathi
Purpose and Use
This glossary consolidates every load-bearing theological term identified in 07_semantic_analysis.md, drawn from every chapter of Luke (1–24), for use as the seed input to Phase 1 Step 2 (translation memory construction) and for cross-checking against the Romans-curriculum baseline translation_memory.json and bible_term_registry.json.
Status column key:
- [BASELINE] — term and rendering already fixed by the Romans package; MUST be reused exactly, no re-negotiation.
- [NEW] — term introduced for the first time by the Luke curriculum; rendering proposed here for Phase 1 Step 2 ratification into translation memory.
- [NEW-phrase] — a multi-word phrase built from a mix of baseline and new lexical items.
Risk tiers follow the baseline’s four-tier framework (Critical / High / Medium / Low) and its review-routing convention (Critical/High → human theologian; Medium → native speaker; Low → automated).

Critical Risk Terms
God
Approved rendering: परमेश्वर
Transliteration: Parameśvar
Doctrine: God
Rejected alternatives: देव, भगवान
Inherited from Romans package. देव flattens monotheistic exclusivity (any deity at all — Ganpati, Vitthal, a village deity); भगवान collides with popular Hindu devotional address. Reused exactly throughout Luke (1:6, 1:16, 1:32, 1:47, etc.).
Jesus
Approved rendering: येशू
Transliteration: Yeśū
Doctrine: Christology
Rejected alternatives: ईसा
Inherited from Romans package. ईसा is associated with Muslim/Urdu usage. Standard throughout Luke.
Lord
Approved rendering: प्रभू
Transliteration: Prabhū
Doctrine: Lordship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: स्वामी, ईश्वर
Original: κύριος
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:43, 2:11, 5:8, 19:8, 24:34. Luke 6:46 (‘why do you call me Lord, Lord, and not do what I say’) ties the confession directly to exclusive obedience — must convey exclusive, presently-reigning Lordship, not one more beloved deity alongside Vitthal.
Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: पवित्र आत्मा
Transliteration: Pavitra Ātmā
Doctrine: The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History
Rejected alternatives: परमात्मा, ब्रह्म
Inherited from Romans package. Extremely dense Spirit-language across Luke (1:15, 1:35, 1:41, 1:67, 3:22, 4:1, 4:14, 4:18, 10:21, 11:13, 24:49) requires the परमात्मा/ब्रह्म fencing to be reinforced repeatedly, not established once.
Son Of God
Approved rendering: देवाचा पुत्र
Transliteration: Devācā Putra
Doctrine: Sonship of Christ
Rejected alternatives: देवपुरुष, अवतारी पुरुष
Original: υἱὸς θεοῦ
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:35, 4:3, 4:9, 4:41, 8:28, 22:70. Luke 3:38 applies ‘son of God’ analogically to Adam by creation; flag for theologian review so this does not flatten Christ’s unique, eternal Sonship.
Messiah
Approved rendering: मसीहा
Transliteration: Masīhā
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Rejected alternatives: अवतारी पुरुष
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 2:11, 2:26, 3:15, 4:41, 9:20, 20:41, 22:67, 23:2, 23:35, 24:26, 24:46.
Incarnation
Approved rendering: देहधारण
Transliteration: Dehadhāraṇ
Doctrine: Incarnation
Rejected alternatives: अवतार, बोधिसत्त्वाचा पुनर्जन्म
Original: concept underlying Luke 1:31-35, 2:7
Category: Christology
Inherited from Romans package. Applies to Luke’s nativity narrative (1:31-35, 2:6-7). NEVER अवतार; guard also against the Bodhisattva-rebirth false-friend for Navayana Buddhist readers.
Resurrection
Approved rendering: पुनरुत्थान
Transliteration: Punarutthān
Doctrine: Resurrection of Christ
Rejected alternatives: पुनर्जन्म, पुनर्भव
Original: ἀνάστασις
Category: Eschatology
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 9:22, 18:33, 20:27-38, 24:1-46. Keep terminologically distinct from उठवले (raised_temporal, used for the widow’s son and Jairus’s daughter), which are preliminary this-life restorations, not the doctrine of resurrection proper.
Salvation
Approved rendering: तारण / तारले
Transliteration: Tāraṇ / Tārale
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: मोक्ष, मुक्ती, निर्वाण
Original: σωτηρία / σῴζω
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke uses σῴζω with deliberate ambiguity between physical healing and spiritual salvation (7:50, 8:36, 8:48, 8:50, 17:19, 18:42) as well as explicit soteriological statements (1:69, 1:77, 2:11, 2:30, 3:6, 19:9-10). Use तारण/तारले consistently even in healing contexts, since Luke’s ambiguity is deliberate theological richness.
Grace
Approved rendering: कृपा
Transliteration: kṛpā
Doctrine: Grace as Unmerited Favor
Rejected alternatives: कर्मफळ, पुण्य, स्वतःच्या प्रयत्नाने मिळवलेले
Original: χάρις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:28-30 (Mary ‘found favor’), 2:40, 2:52, 4:22. Especially at 7:36-50, ensure the Marathi phrasing shows forgiveness as the CAUSE, not the fruit, of the sinful woman’s love, guarding against a merit-based misreading.
Righteousness
Approved rendering: नीतिमत्त्व
Transliteration: nītimattva
Doctrine: Salvation
Rejected alternatives: धर्म, पुण्य
Original: δικαιοσύνη
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:6, 1:75, 18:9 (‘those who trusted in themselves that they were righteous’). Never धर्म.
Justification
Approved rendering: नीतिमान ठरवणे
Transliteration: nītimān ṭharavaṇe
Doctrine: Justification by Faith
Rejected alternatives: माफी मिळणे, पुण्य कमावणे
Original: δικαιόω / δικαίωσις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 18:14 — the tax collector ‘went down to his house justified’ rather than the self-righteous Pharisee, a narrative dramatization of this doctrine. Must not be softened to suggest his humility itself earned righteousness.
Father
Approved rendering: पिता
Transliteration: Pitā
Doctrine: Prayer and Dependence on God
Rejected alternatives: निर्माता
Original: πατήρ
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 2:49, 6:36, 10:21-22, 11:2-13 (Lord’s Prayer), 15:11-32 (Prodigal Son), 22:42, 23:34, 23:46, 24:49. Luke’s density of Father-address intensifies the need for consistent relational warmth within formal register.
Fulfilled
Approved rendering: पूर्ण झाले आहे
Transliteration: Pūrṇa Jhāle Āhe
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Rejected alternatives: चक्रीय पूर्तता (cyclical fulfillment)
Original: πληρόω (πεπλήρωται)
Category: Covenant
New term for Luke, core passage (4:21) and capstone (24:44). Never phrased to suggest repeatable cyclical fulfillment (Hindu yuga-cycle renewal) or an open-ended process without a definite historical anchor (Buddhist dependent-origination).
Savior
Approved rendering: तारणारा
Transliteration: Tāraṇārā
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People
Rejected alternatives: विठ्ठल-प्रकारचा तारणारा, बुद्ध-प्रकारचा मार्गदर्शक
Original: σωτήρ
Category: Christology
New term for Luke. Luke 1:47, 2:11. Maharashtra’s devotional landscape supplies multiple popular personal-savior figures (Vitthal, the Buddha); तारणारा must always be grammatically anchored to परमेश्वर/येशू, never left free-floating.
Authority To Forgive Sins
Approved rendering: पाप क्षमा करण्याचा अधिकार
Transliteration: Pāp Kṣamā Karaṇyācā Adhikār
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: पौरोहित्य मध्यस्थी (priestly mediation)
Original: ἐξουσίαν … ἀφιέναι ἁμαρτίας
Category: Christology
New phrase for Luke. Luke 5:20-24. Must be rendered so the forgiving authority is unmistakably a divine prerogative exercised personally by Jesus (Son of Man), not a priestly or ritual mediatory function.
Son Of Man
Approved rendering: मनुष्याचा पुत्र
Transliteration: Manuṣyācā Putra
Doctrine: Son of Man Christology
Rejected alternatives: केवळ मानव (mere human being)
Original: ὁ υἱὸς τοῦ ἀνθρώπου
Category: Christology
New term for Luke, first occurrence 5:24, recurring 6:5, 6:22, 7:34, 9:22, 9:26, 9:44, 9:58, 11:30, 12:8, 12:40, 17:22-30, 18:8, 18:31, 19:10, 21:27, 21:36, 22:22, 22:48, 22:69, 24:7. The literal Marathi reads as merely ‘a human’s son,’ obscuring the Daniel 7:13-14 background entirely. Sustained translator/study note essential, especially at 9:22, 9:26, 19:10, 22:69.
Cross
Approved rendering: वधस्तंभ
Transliteration: Vadhastambh
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Rejected alternatives: सामान्य जीवन-कठिणाई (generic life hardship)
Original: σταυρός
Category: Church
New term for Luke, foundational to Cost and Joy of Discipleship. Luke 9:23 (‘take up his cross daily’), 14:27, 23:26, 23:33. Established Marathi Christian rendering; risk lies in ensuring ‘daily’ cross-bearing is not softened into a metaphor for any inconvenience.
Compassion Visceral
Approved rendering: कळवळा आला
Transliteration: Kaḷvaḷā Ālā
Doctrine: Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Rejected alternatives: करुणा (Buddhist Brahmavihara-cultivated virtue)
Original: σπλαγχνίζομαι (ἐσπλαγχνίσθη)
Category: Church
New term for Luke, foundational to Compassion doctrine. Luke 7:13 (widow of Nain), 10:33 (Samaritan), 15:20 (the father). करुणा names a meditative, self-cultivated Buddhist virtue; कळवळा (visceral, gut-level compassion) is preferred, always occasioned by a specific encounter with a specific sufferer.
Seek And Save The Lost
Approved rendering: हरवलेल्यांना शोधून तारणे
Transliteration: Haravlelyānnā Śodhūn Tāraṇe
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Original: ζητῆσαι καὶ σῶσαι τὸ ἀπολωλός
Category: Salvation
New term for Luke, the Gospel’s mission-defining verse. Luke 19:10, after Zacchaeus’s repentance. Reuse baseline तारण exactly; ‘शोधणे’ (seek) must convey Jesus’ own active initiative in pursuing the lost person, not a person’s own successful search for enlightenment or liberation.
Repentance Forgiveness All Nations
Approved rendering: पश्चात्ताप आणि पापांची क्षमा … सर्व राष्ट्रांना
Transliteration: —
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Original: μετάνοιαν καὶ ἄφεσιν ἁμαρτιῶν … εἰς πάντα τὰ ἔθνη
Category: Salvation
New combination for Luke, capstone verse (24:47). Must render with full consistency to Luke 3:3’s phrasing (translation-memory consistency rule) and full universal scope, per the baseline’s caution against softening universality claims.
High Risk Terms
Faith
Approved rendering: विश्वास
Transliteration: viśvāsa
Doctrine: Faith
Rejected alternatives: श्रद्धा, भक्ति
Original: πίστις
Category: Faith
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 5:20, 7:9, 7:50, 8:25, 8:48, 17:5-6, 17:19, 18:8, 18:42, 22:32.
Sin
Approved rendering: पाप
Transliteration: pāp
Doctrine: Universal Human Accountability
Rejected alternatives: अधर्म
Original: ἁμαρτία
Category: Sin
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 13:1-5 explicitly rejects proportional-suffering/misfortune-equals-guilt reasoning — of acute sensitivity given the caste-Hindu birth-karma doctrine Ambedkarite Buddhist communities explicitly rejected.
Holy
Approved rendering: पवित्र
Transliteration: pavitra
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: शुद्ध
Original: ἅγιος
Category: Sanctification
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:15, 1:35, 1:49, 1:70, 1:72, 2:23, 4:34 (demon’s confession, ‘the Holy One of God’).
Saints
Approved rendering: पवित्र जन
Transliteration: pavitra jan
Doctrine: Sainthood
Rejected alternatives: संत, मुनी
Original: ἅγιοι
Category: Church
Inherited from Romans package. Corporate holiness concept underlies the disciple community throughout Luke; never संत, which names the revered Warkari poet-saints.
Sanctification
Approved rendering: पवित्रीकरण
Transliteration: pavitrīkaraṇ
Doctrine: Sanctification
Rejected alternatives: शुद्धीकरण
Original: ἁγιασμός
Category: Sanctification
Inherited from Romans package. Underlies Luke’s call to holy living, e.g. 1:74-75 (‘serve him without fear, in holiness’).
Law
Approved rendering: नियमशास्त्र
Transliteration: niyamśāstra
Doctrine: Fulfillment of Prophecy
Rejected alternatives: धर्म, धम्म
Original: νόμος
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 2:22-27, 2:39 (Jesus’ parents fulfilling the Law), 5:17, 10:26, 16:16-17, 24:44. NEVER धर्म or धम्म.
Glory
Approved rendering: गौरव
Transliteration: gaurav
Doctrine: Deity of Christ
Rejected alternatives: तेज, प्रकाश
Original: δόξα
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 2:9, 2:14, 2:32, 9:26, 9:31-32 (Transfiguration), 21:27, 24:26. Avoid light-only imagery that could merge with bodhi-light/enlightenment associations.
Covenant
Approved rendering: करार
Transliteration: karār
Doctrine: Davidic Covenant
Rejected alternatives: वचन
Original: διαθήκη
Category: Covenant
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:72-73 (God’s covenant with Abraham) and 22:20 (the new covenant in Christ’s blood).
Abba
Approved rendering: अब्बा
Transliteration: Abbā
Doctrine: Prayer and Dependence on God
Inherited from Romans package. Textually relevant alongside पिता wherever Aramaic intimacy is in view (cf. Luke 22:42, ‘Father, if you are willing’).
Power Of God
Approved rendering: देवाचे सामर्थ्य
Transliteration: devāce sāmarthya
Doctrine: The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History
Rejected alternatives: शक्ती
Original: δύναμις θεοῦ
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 1:35, 4:14, 4:36, 5:17, 6:19, 9:1, 10:19, 21:27, 24:49. Never शक्ती (Shakti/mother-goddess associations, e.g. Tuljapur’s Tuljabhavani).
Election
Approved rendering: देवाची निवड
Transliteration: devācī nivaḍ
Doctrine: Divine Calling of Disciples
Rejected alternatives: नशीब, दैव, कर्मफळ
Original: ἐκλογή / ἐκλεκτός
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 6:13 (choosing the Twelve), 9:35 (‘This is my Son, my Chosen One’), 23:35. Must never echo the karma-birth explanation of social station rejected by Ambedkarite Buddhist communities.
Providence
Approved rendering: देवाचे विधान
Transliteration: devāce vidhān
Doctrine: Prayer and Dependence on God
Rejected alternatives: नशीब, कर्माचा नियम
Original: πρόνοια (implied, cf. Luke 12:6-7, 22-32)
Category: God
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 12:6-7 (sparrows), 12:22-32 (do not be anxious), 21:18 (‘not a hair of your head will perish’). Must not echo karma-based explanations of misfortune or low status.
Called
Approved rendering: बोलावलेले
Transliteration: bolāvlele
Doctrine: Divine Calling of Disciples
Rejected alternatives: आमंत्रित
Original: κλητός / καλέω
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 5:32 (‘I have not come to call the righteous, but sinners’), 6:13, 14:7-24. Context-sensitive per occurrence.
Calling
Approved rendering: पाचारण
Transliteration: pācāraṇ
Doctrine: Divine Calling of Disciples
Rejected alternatives: आवाहन
Original: κλῆσις
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Noun form underlying the disciple-calling pattern of Luke 5-9.
Gospel
Approved rendering: शुभवर्तमान
Transliteration: śubhavartamān
Doctrine: Gospel
Rejected alternatives: बातमी, खबर
Original: εὐαγγέλιον
Category: Salvation
Inherited from Romans package. Luke 4:18 (εὐαγγελίσασθαι, ‘to proclaim good news’ — core passage), 7:22, 16:16, 20:1. Must not be flattened into a generic positive announcement competing with Warkari devotional ‘good news’ or Buddhist proclamation of liberation.
Anointed
Approved rendering: अभिषिक्त केले
Transliteration: Abhiṣikta Kele
Doctrine: Messianic Promise
Rejected alternatives: अभिषेक (bare ritual noun)
Original: χρίω (ἔχρισεν)
Category: Christology
New term for Luke, core passage (4:18, quoting Isaiah 61:1). अभिषेक is the standard Marathi/Hindu term for ritual libation-anointing of a deity’s image (abhisheka), a repeatable devotional rite. Here it is a one-time divine commissioning of the unique Messiah. Translator note required at first occurrence.
Acceptable Year Of The Lord
Approved rendering: प्रभूच्या कृपेचे वर्ष
Transliteration: Prabhūcyā Kṛpecē Varṣa
Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Rejected alternatives: शुभ वर्ष (generic auspicious year)
Original: ἐνιαυτὸν κυρίου δεκτόν
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke, core passage (4:19). Alludes to the OT Year of Jubilee (Leviticus 25). Requires mandatory OT background note; without it the phrase risks sounding like a generic annual blessing or an astrological ‘auspicious year’ from panchang/almanac culture rather than the specific, unrepeatable Jubilee-fulfillment claim.
Today
Approved rendering: आज
Transliteration: Āj
Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Original: σήμερον
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke. Distinctive Lukan emphasis: 2:11, 4:21 (core passage), 19:9, 23:43. High risk from theological weight, not lexical difficulty; must not be flattened into a merely narrative time-marker.
Poor
Approved rendering: गरीब
Transliteration: Garīb
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Rejected alternatives: गरीब मनाने (Matthew’s ‘poor in spirit’ qualifier)
Original: πτωχός
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke. Luke 4:18 (core passage), 6:20, 7:22, 14:13, 14:21, 16:20-22, 18:22, 19:8, 21:3. Retain unqualified economic sense; do not import Matthew’s spiritualizing qualifier into Luke’s parallel text.
Captives Release
Approved rendering: बंदिवानांना मुक्तता जाहीर करणे
Transliteration: Bandivānānnā Muktatā Jāhīr Karaṇe
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Rejected alternatives: मुक्ती (forbidden Hindu-liberation term)
Original: αἰχμαλώτοις ἄφεσιν
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke, core passage (4:18). Use मुक्तता (concrete release/freedom) only, NEVER मुक्ती. Flag for theologian review to prevent conflation with मोक्ष/मुक्ती theology.
Filled With Holy Spirit
Approved rendering: पवित्र आत्म्याने भरलेला
Transliteration: Pavitra Ātmyāne Bharlelā
Doctrine: The Holy Spirit’s Work in Salvation History
Rejected alternatives: तात्पुरती समाधी अवस्था (temporary trance state)
Original: πλησθήσεται/ἐπλήσθη Πνεύματος Ἁγίου
Category: God
New phrase for Luke. Luke 1:15, 1:41, 1:67, 4:1. Must not suggest temporary trance/oracular-possession state familiar from folk-religious or Warkari kirtan ecstatic practice; conveys abiding empowerment.
Redemption
Approved rendering: उद्धार
Transliteration: Uddhār
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People
Rejected alternatives: मुक्ति, मोक्ष
Original: λύτρωσις / ἀπολύτρωσις
Category: Salvation
New term for Luke. Luke 2:38 (Anna), 21:28 (‘your redemption is drawing near’), 24:21. NEVER मुक्ति/मोक्ष.
Repentance
Approved rendering: पश्चात्ताप
Transliteration: Paścāttāp
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Rejected alternatives: केवळ खेद/दुःख (mere regret)
Original: μετάνοια / μετανοέω
Category: Sin
New term for Luke. Luke 3:3, 3:8, 5:32, 13:3-5, 15:7, 15:10, 17:3-4, 24:47. Etymologically leans toward emotional regret; context must always supply decisive behavioral/relational turning.
Forgiveness Of Sins
Approved rendering: पापांची क्षमा
Transliteration: Pāpāṃcī Kṣamā
Doctrine: Repentance and Forgiveness of Sins
Rejected alternatives: केवळ क्षमा (bare ‘forgiveness’ without पाप)
Original: ἄφεσις (ἁμαρτιῶν)
Category: Sin
New term for Luke. Luke 1:77, 3:3 (repeated verbatim at 24:47), 5:20-24, 7:47-49, 11:4, 17:3-4, 23:34. Always pair क्षमा explicitly with पाप.
Disciple
Approved rendering: शिष्य
Transliteration: Śiṣya
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Rejected alternatives: गुरु-शिष्य परंपरेतील शिष्य (unqualified guru-disciple usage)
Original: μαθητής
Category: Church
New term for Luke, foundational to Cost and Joy of Discipleship. Luke 5:1-11, 5:27-33, 6:13-40, 9:1-14, 9:23-25, 14:25-33, 18:15. CRITICAL collision with the pervasive Hindu guru-śiṣya and Warkari sant-lineage tradition, where a शिष्य progresses toward the guru’s own attainment. Biblical discipleship is total, exclusive, Christ-initiated allegiance. Translator note mandatory at first extended use (5:1-11, 27-32) and again at 14:25-33.
Sinner
Approved rendering: पापी
Transliteration: Pāpī
Doctrine: Jesus’ Compassion and Table Fellowship with Sinners
Rejected alternatives: केवळ अमूर्त पाप करणारी व्यक्ती (mere abstract ‘one who sins’)
Original: ἁμαρτωλός
Category: Sin
New term for Luke. Luke 5:8, 5:30-32, 6:32-34, 7:34, 7:37-39, 15:1-2, 15:7-10, 18:13, 19:7. Retain the specific social-religious sense of publicly recognized outcast status.
Deny Himself
Approved rendering: स्वतःला नाकारणे
Transliteration: Svataḥlā Nākāraṇe
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Rejected alternatives: अष्टांगिक मार्गाचे स्व-साधन (Eightfold Path self-cultivation)
Original: ἀπαρνέομαι ἑαυτόν
Category: Church
New term for Luke. Luke 9:23, paired with cross-bearing. A Navayana Buddhist reader may assimilate this to the Eightfold Path’s disciplined relinquishing of ego. Biblical self-denial is relational reorientation toward a personal Lord, not a technique of self-cultivation.
Neighbor
Approved rendering: शेजारी
Transliteration: Śejārī
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People
Original: πλησίον
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke. Luke 10:25-37 (Good Samaritan). High risk given unusually direct application in caste-conscious Maharashtra; the redefinition beyond kin/caste/community lines must be preserved with full force.
Prayer
Approved rendering: प्रार्थना
Transliteration: Prārthanā
Doctrine: Prayer and Dependence on God
Original: προσευχή / προσεύχομαι
Category: Faith
New term for Luke, foundational to Prayer and Dependence on God. Luke 1:13, 3:21, 5:16, 6:12, 9:18, 9:28-29, 11:1-13 (Lord’s Prayer), 18:1-14, 22:32, 22:39-46. Always anchor to address made specifically to परमेश्वर as पिता, not a generic devotional posture shared with puja/chanting.
Kingdom Within Among You
Approved rendering: तुमच्यामध्ये
Transliteration: Tumcyāmadhye
Doctrine: The Kingdom of God Present and Future
Rejected alternatives: अंतर्यामी (Hindu inner-dweller theology, inward-only rendering)
Original: ἐντὸς ὑμῶν
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke, central to Kingdom Present and Future. Luke 17:20-21. Recommended ‘among/in the midst of you’ over inward-only ‘within you’ to avoid antaryāmī/inner-awakening associations. Genuinely ambiguous Greek; flag for mandatory theologian review at every occurrence.
Poor Crippled Lame Blind
Approved rendering: गरीब, अपंग, लंगडे, आंधळे
Transliteration: Garīb, Apāṅg, Laṅgaḍe, Āndhaḷe
Doctrine: Good News to the Poor and Marginalized
Original: πτωχούς, ἀναπείρους, χωλούς, τυφλούς
Category: Kingdom
New term for Luke. Luke 14:12-14, 14:21. Must retain the specific ‘cannot repay’ grace-logic of the invitation, not generic charitable inclusion.
Hate Comparative
Approved rendering: द्वेष करणे / कमी प्रेम करणे
Transliteration: Dveṣ Karaṇe
Doctrine: The Cost and Joy of Discipleship
Original: μισέω (μισεῖ)
Category: Church
New term for Luke. Luke 14:26, paired with cross-bearing (14:27). A Semitic idiom of comparative preference, not literal hostility toward family; mandatory translator note required at every occurrence.
New Covenant
Approved rendering: नवीन करार
Transliteration: Navīn Karār
Doctrine: The New Covenant Instituted in Christ’s Blood
Original: ἡ καινὴ διαθήκη
Category: Covenant
New term for Luke, reusing baseline करार. Luke 22:20. ‘नवीन’ must be understood as covenant renewal/fulfillment (cf. Jeremiah 31), not replacement or rejection of God’s prior faithfulness to Israel.
Body Blood
Approved rendering: शरीर / रक्त
Transliteration: Śarīr/Rakta
Doctrine: The New Covenant Instituted in Christ’s Blood
Original: σῶμα / αἷμα
Category: Church
New term for Luke. Luke 22:19-20 (institution of the Lord’s Supper). Standard vocabulary; flag for theologian review regarding the receiving denomination’s sacramental theology (memorial vs. real presence).
Paradise
Approved rendering: परादीस
Transliteration: Parādīs
Doctrine: Jesus as Savior for All Nations and All People
Rejected alternatives: स्वर्ग, नंदनवन
Original: παράδεισος
Category: Eschatology
New term for Luke. Luke 23:43, promised to the repentant criminal. Prefer transliteration over स्वर्ग (multiple temporary heavenly realms within rebirth) or नंदनवन (Puranic garden mythology); brief explanatory gloss recommended at first occurrence.
Ascended
Approved rendering: स्वर्गात नेले गेले
Transliteration: Svargāt Nele Gele
Doctrine: Ascension and Christ’s Ongoing Reign
Rejected alternatives: परिनिर्वाण (parinirvana), मोक्ष-प्रस्थान (moksha-departure)
Original: ἀναφέρω / ἀναλαμβάνω
Category: Christology
New term for Luke. Luke 24:51. Distinguish from parinirvana (a final ending) or a generic moksha-departure concept; svarga here refers specifically to God’s own heavenly presence and Christ’s ongoing reign, not an ending.
Medium Risk Terms
Church
