Abstract

Bible translation is among the difficult exercises in scholarship because it demands a careful analysis of the biblical text from the source language into the target language. The religio-cultural settings and worldview of the indigenous people are also considered so that they are able to access the word of God as written and meant by the author(s). An example of Bible translation exercise is the New Revised Asante Twi Version (NRATV) 2018, which contains some translation problems. Some texts are not translated but 鈥渃arried wholly鈥 into the new or target language to make them look as if they form part of the native language. One of such is 鈥淎bba,鈥 which is a Hebraic Aramaic word found in Romans 8:15. Since Abba is not an Asante (and Akan) language, it becomes difficult for the Asante reading community (and by extension all Akan languages) and users of the Asante-Twi Bible to understand and express the concept within their religio-cultural worldview because they do not understand the thought of the author in their language. Using exegetical, mother-tongue hermeneutics and the communicative method of translation as approaches, the study has found out that the translation of 鈥ξ懳参参 峤 蟺伪蟿萎蟻 (鈥bba ho Pat膿r) as 鈥bba, Agya (鈥bba, Father) in the Asante-Twi Bible (2018) should be rendered as 鈥溾gya, M鈥檃gya鈥 (Father, My Father). The study has thus added to the interpretations of Romans 8:15 in Asante-Twi. It is being recommended that in the future revision of the Asante-Twi Bible, the Bible Society of Ghana should consider using 鈥溾gya, M鈥檃gya鈥 (Father, My Father) in the translation of 鈥 螒尾尾伪 峤 蟺伪蟿萎蟻 (鈥bba ho Pat膿r).
