Etheridge's Mistranslations
#2
I think Etheridge nails it pretty close in 8:25, Dylan. Lamsa and Murdock, which I checked, misses it I think. I would translate it this way, but, it's real close to what Etheridge goes with."The Yehud?aye said; you, who are you? Eshu? said to them; even that which I began to speak with you.

As for 3:33, his rendering is pretty awkward there, and it can be improved I think. I would translate it this way: "But those who recieved His testimony, confirms that Alaha is true."

"Sealed" is ok, but "Confirm" is what "Sealed" means there...and makes it a bit clearer to the reader I think. Even today there is a term used, namely "Confirmation", where the new Christian, after water Baptism is "Sealed" by The Holy Spirit, by the anointing of the Holy Oil. When one is "Sealed", they are "Confirmed" to be part of the body of Messiah, or The Church.

Blessings,
Chuck
