Kuthamini Lugha za Biblia — Sehemu ya 11: Uchunguzi Wako wa Kwanza wa Neno — Kazi ya KuhitimishaLanguage Appreciation — Unit 11: Your First Word Study — The Capstone

Umefika kwenye sehemu ya mwisho. Sehemu kumi na moja, alfabeti mbili, maneno kadhaa ya Kigiriki na Kiebrania, mfumo wa namba za Strong's, Mwanzo 1:1 na Yohana 1:1 vikisomwa katika lugha zake asilia. Ulipoingia hukuweza kusoma alfabeti yoyote kati ya hizo mbili. Unaondoka ukiweza kusoma zote mbili, kutafuta neno lolote katika mstari wowote, na kulifuatilia katika kila mahali pengine linapotokea katika Biblia. Safari karibu imekwisha. Kazi moja tu imesimama kati yako na cheti cha kuhitimu: uchunguzi wako wa kwanza halisi wa neno.You have arrived at the last unit. Eleven units, two alphabets, a dozen Greek and Hebrew words, the Strong's number system, Genesis 1:1 and John 1:1 read in their own languages. You came in not able to read either alphabet. You are leaving able to read both, look up any word in any verse, and trace it through every other place it appears in the Bible. The journey is almost over. One assignment stands between you and the certificate of completion: your first real word study.

Andiko letu la sehemu hii ni Waebrania 4:12. Kigiriki kinaanza hivi: zôn gar ho logos tou theou, "kwa maana li hai neno la Mungu." Uangalie mstari huu. Mwandishi wa Waebrania hasemi kwamba Neno la Mungu lina kweli iliyo hai. Anasema Neno ni hai. Neno la Kigiriki ni zôn (Strong's G2198, kitenzi-jina cha wakati uliopo, kauli ya kutenda, cha zaô), na maana yake katika Kigiriki ni ileile tunayoijua: hai, linalopumua, lenye uhai. Neno la Mungu si kitu cha maonyesho katika jumba la makumbusho; Maandiko yenyewe ni hai na yanatenda kazi, na ndani yake tunakutana na Kristo aliye hai, ambaye Maandiko yote yanamhusu. Na neno la Kigiriki linalofuata, energês (Strong's G1756), lina maana ya kufanya kazi kwa bidii, kuwa katika utendaji, kuleta matokeo — linahusiana na wazo lililo nyuma ya neno la Kiingereza "energy" (nishati), ingawa neno la Kiingereza si uthibitisho wa lile la Kigiriki; energês linapata maana yake kutokana na jinsi Waebrania na waandishi wengine wa Kigiriki walivyolitumia kwa kweli, si kutokana na mzao wake wa Kiingereza. Neno halikai rafuni likingoja kusifiwa. Linafanya kazi. Linachoma. Linagawanya. Linatambua. Neno linamsoma msomaji.Our unit scripture is Hebrews 4:12. The Greek opens zôn gar ho logos tou theou, "for living is the word of God." Notice the verse. The author of Hebrews does not say the Word of God contains living truth. He says the Word is living. The Greek word is zôn (Strong's G2198, the present active participle of zaô), and it means the same thing in Greek that it means in English: alive, breathing, animate. The Word of God is not a museum exhibit; Scripture itself is alive and active, and in it we meet the living Christ, of whom all Scripture speaks. And the next Greek word, energês (Strong's G1756), carries the sense of actively working, in operation, producing effect — it is related to the idea behind our English word "energy," though the English word is not proof of the Greek one; energês earns its meaning from how Hebrews and other Greek writers actually use it, not from its English descendant. The Word does not sit on the shelf waiting to be admired. It works. It pierces. It divides. It discerns. The Word reads the reader.

Hukulisoma Neno kwa wiki kumi na moja. Neno ndilo lililokusoma wewe. Hiyo ndiyo siri ya kila kozi ya kweli ya Maandiko.You did not study the Word for eleven weeks. The Word studied you. That is the secret of every honest course in Scripture.

Sehemu hii itafanya niniWhat this unit will do

Sehemu ya 11 ina kazi moja kuu: kukuongoza katika uchunguzi kamili wa neno tangu mwanzo hadi mwisho, ukitumia neno moja la Kigiriki kama mfano uliofanyiwa kazi, ili uwe na kielelezo mkononi mwako kwa ajili ya kazi ya kuhitimisha utakayomkabidhi Wayne. Kifungu cha I kinaeleza hatua sita za kazi ulizoziona mwishoni mwa Sehemu ya 10. Kifungu cha II ni mfano uliofanyiwa kazi — uchunguzi kamili wa neno euangelion, neno la Kigiriki la "injili." Kifungu cha III kinaeleza kwa kina kazi yako ya kuhitimisha. Kifungu cha IV kinatazama nyuma kozi nzima ya sehemu kumi na moja. Kifungu cha V ni agizo la kufunga. Ukishafaulu mtihani, cheti cha kuhitimu kitafunguka. Utakuwa umekistahili.Unit 11 has one main job: walk you through a complete word study from start to finish, using one Greek word as the worked example, so that you have a model in your hand for the capstone assignment you will turn in to Wayne. Section I sets out the six-step workflow you saw at the end of Unit 10. Section II is the worked example — a full word study of euangelion, the Greek word for "gospel." Section III spells out your capstone assignment in detail. Section IV looks back over the whole eleven-unit course. Section V is the closing charge. After you pass the examination, the certificate of completion unlocks. You will have earned it.

Uchunguzi kamili wa neno una hatua sita. Hakuna hata moja iliyo ngumu. Zote zinahitaji uangalifu wa kweli. Kwa pamoja zinachukua takriban dakika arobaini na tano kwa aina ya uchunguzi ambao Wayne atakuomba ukabidhi kwa ajili ya kazi hii ya kuhitimisha. Hizi ndizo hatua za kazi, pamoja na vitenzi vinavyofanya kazi halisi katika kila hatua.A complete word study has six steps. None of them is hard. All of them require honest attention. Together they take about forty-five minutes for the kind of study Wayne will ask you to turn in for this capstone. Here is the workflow, with the verbs that actually do the work in each step.

Sentensi hiyo ya mwisho ndiyo tofauti kati ya uchunguzi wa neno unaoujenga Mwili na uchunguzi wa neno unaomjenga mwanafunzi. Wayne amesoma maelfu ya chunguzi za maneno katika miaka yake ya kufundisha. Zile nzuri hubadilisha jinsi mwandishi anavyosoma Maandiko. Zile bora kabisa hubadilisha jinsi kusanyiko la mwandishi linavyosoma Maandiko. Unapofanya kazi yako ya kuhitimisha, kumbuka unamchunguzia nani.That last sentence is the difference between a word study that builds the Body and a word study that builds the student. Wayne has read thousands of word studies over his teaching years. The good ones change the way the writer reads Scripture. The great ones change the way the writer's congregation reads Scripture. As you do your capstone, remember whom you are studying for.

Tazama jinsi uchunguzi kamili wa neno unavyoonekana. Huu hapa mmoja tangu mwanzo hadi mwisho, ukitumia hatua zote sita kwa neno moja la Kigiriki. Utafuata mtindo huohuo katika kazi yako ya kuhitimisha.Watch what a complete word study looks like. Here is one from start to finish, applying all six steps to a single Greek word. You will follow the same pattern for your capstone.

Hatua ya 1 (CHAGUA): Mstari na nenoStep 1 (CHOOSE): The verse and the word

Tunarudi kwenye Warumi 1:16 kutoka Sehemu ya 9: "Kwa maana siionei haya Injili ya Kristo; kwa sababu ni uweza wa Mungu uuletao wokovu." Tunachagua neno "Injili" — kiini cha kimafundisho cha mstari huu. Bila "Injili" sentensi inaanguka.We return to Romans 1:16 from Unit 9: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation." We pick the English word "gospel" — the doctrinal heart of the verse. Without "gospel" the sentence collapses.

Hatua ya 2 (TAFUTA): Namba ya Strong'sStep 2 (LOOK UP): The Strong's number

Fungua Bible Hub au Blue Letter Bible. Tafuta Warumi 1:16. Gusa au weka kielekezi juu ya "gospel" (Injili). Namba ya Strong's inatokea: G2098. Neno la Kigiriki ni euangelion. Sekunde tatu za kazi na daraja limejengwa.Open Bible Hub or Blue Letter Bible. Find Romans 1:16. Tap or hover over "gospel." The Strong's number appears: G2098. The Greek word is euangelion. Three seconds of work and the bridge is built.

Hatua ya 3 (SOMA): KamusiStep 3 (READ): The lexicon

Maelezo mafupi ya Strong's yanasema: "ujumbe mwema, habari njema." Maelezo marefu ya Thayer's yanaongeza asili ya neno: eu- ("-ema") + angelion ("ujumbe, tangazo") kutoka angelos (neno linalotupa "angel," yaani malaika, kwa maana halisi mjumbe). Kwa hiyo euangelion kwa asili yake ni "tangazo jema." Thayer anaendelea: katika Kigiriki cha kale kabla ya Agano Jipya, neno hili lilitumika kwa tangazo la hadharani la ushindi — hasa tangazo kwamba vita fulani vimeshindwa, au kwamba mfalme mpya ameketi kwenye kiti cha enzi. Lilikuwa neno la mpiga mbiu. Mfalme wa Kirumi alipozaliwa, ulimwengu wa Kirumi ulipokea habari hiyo kama euangelion. Mfalme huyo aliposhinda vita, Roma ilisherehekea kwa euangelion. Katika karne ya kwanza neno hili lilikuwa na uzito wa kifalme.Strong's brief entry says: "a good message, good news." Thayer's longer entry adds the etymology: eu- ("good") + angelion ("a message, announcement") from angelos (the word that gives us "angel," literally a messenger). So euangelion is etymologically "the good announcement." Thayer continues: in classical Greek before the New Testament, the word was used for a public proclamation of victory — especially the announcement that a military campaign had been won, or that a new emperor had ascended the throne. It was a herald's word. When a Roman emperor was born, the Roman world received the news as euangelion. When that emperor won a battle, Rome celebrated with euangelion. The word in the first century had imperial weight.

Hatua ya 4 (FUATILIA): Kila mahali linapotokea katika Agano JipyaStep 4 (TRACE): Every occurrence in the New Testament

Namba ya Strong's G2098 inatokea mara 76 katika Agano Jipya la Kigiriki. Umbo la kitenzi euangelizô (G2097, "kutangaza habari njema") linatokea mara nyingine 54. Kwa pamoja ni zaidi ya mara 130. Neno hili limejaa kwa wingi katika maandiko ya Paulo (matumizi 60+), linaonekana sana katika Injili za Muhtasari (hasa Mathayo na Marko), na linafikia kilele katika Ufunuo 14:6 ambapo malaika anatangaza "euangelion ya milele." Chagua mistari mitano muhimu kama sampuli:Strong's number G2098 appears 76 times in the Greek New Testament. The verb form euangelizô (G2097, "to announce good news") appears another 54 times. Together over 130 occurrences. The word is dense in Paul (60+ uses), prominent in the Synoptic Gospels (Matthew and Mark especially), and culminates in Revelation 14:6 where an angel proclaims the "everlasting euangelion." Sample five strategic verses:

MstariVerse	Unachotufundisha juu ya euangelionWhat it tells us about euangelion
Marko 1:1Mark 1:1	"Mwanzo wa euangelion ya Yesu Kristo, Mwana wa Mungu." Neno la ufunguzi la Injili ya pili. Injili INAANZA hapa; kila kitu kilichotangulia kilikuwa maandalizi."The beginning of the euangelion of Jesus Christ, the Son of God." The opening word of the second Gospel. The gospel BEGINS here; everything before was preparation.
Warumi 1:1Romans 1:1	Paulo anajiita "aliyetengwa aihubiri euangelion ya Mungu." Maisha yake yote sasa yanafafanuliwa kwa kubeba habari moja.Paul calls himself "separated unto the euangelion of God." His whole life is now defined by carrying one piece of news.
1 Wakorintho 15:1–41 Corinthians 15:1–4	Muhtasari ulio wazi kabisa wa Paulo: euangelion ni kwamba "Kristo alikufa kwa ajili ya dhambi zetu, kama yanenavyo maandiko; na kwamba alizikwa; na kwamba alifufuka siku ya tatu." Kifo, kuzikwa, ufufuo. Matukio matatu ya kihistoria.Paul's clearest summary: the euangelion is "Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; and that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day." Death, burial, resurrection. Three historical events.
Wagalatia 1:8–9Galatians 1:8–9	Paulo anamlaani (anathema) yeyote anayehubiri euangelion nyingine — si mafundisho tofauti kwa ujumla, bali injili tofauti. Ujumbe huu ni mahususi kiasi kwamba unaweza kuthibitishwa kuwa wa uongo.Paul anathematizes anyone preaching a different euangelion — not different doctrines in general, but a different gospel. The message is so specific that it can be falsified.
Ufunuo 14:6Revelation 14:6	"euangelion ya milele" inayohubiriwa kwa kila taifa. Habari njema ileile, sasa ikifika kisiwa cha mwisho na lugha ya mwisho. Hadithi inafungwa kwa neno lililoifungua.The "everlasting euangelion" preached to every nation. The same good news, now reaching the last island and the last language. The story closes with the word that opened.

Hatua ya 5 (LINGANISHA): Msingi wa Kiebrania wa Agano la KaleStep 5 (COMPARE): The Old Testament Hebrew background

Hapa ndipo uchunguzi wa neno mara nyingi hulipa faida yake kubwa zaidi. Euangelion halikutokea ghafla bila chanzo katika karne ya kwanza. Septuajinti (Agano la Kale la Kigiriki tulilokutana nalo katika Sehemu ya 2) ilikuwa imetumia umbo la kitenzi euangelizô katika sehemu mbili ambazo waandishi wote wa Agano Jipya walizijua kwa moyo. Vifungu vyote viwili vinatafsiri kitenzi cha Kiebrania basar (H1319), "kutangaza habari njema."This is where word study often pays its biggest dividend. Euangelion did not appear from nowhere in the first century. The Septuagint (the Greek Old Testament we met in Unit 2) had used the verb form euangelizô in two places that the New Testament writers all knew by heart. Both passages translate the Hebrew verb basar (H1319), "to announce good news."

Isaya 52:7: "Jinsi ilivyo mizuri juu ya milima, miguu yake aletaye habari njema, yeye atangazaye amani, yeye aletaye habari njema ya mambo mema, yeye atangazaye wokovu; auambiaye Sayuni, Mungu wako anamiliki!" Kiebrania basar kimesimama nyuma ya "aletaye habari njema." LXX inakitafsiri euangelizomenou. Paulo ananukuu mstari huu katika Warumi 10:15 kuonyesha kwamba kuhubiri injili ni kazi iliyotabiriwa ya wapiga mbiu wa Masihi. Wakimbiaji wanaovuka milima katika maono ya Isaya ni mitume, wainjilisti, na kila Mkristo aliyewahi kumpelekea jirani habari hii.Isaiah 52:7: "How beautiful upon the mountains are the feet of him that bringeth good tidings, that publisheth peace; that bringeth good tidings of good, that publisheth salvation; that saith unto Zion, Thy God reigneth!" The Hebrew basar stands behind "bringeth good tidings." The LXX renders it euangelizomenou. Paul quotes this verse in Romans 10:15 to argue that gospel preaching is the prophesied work of the Messiah's heralds. The runners over the mountains in Isaiah's vision are the apostles, the evangelists, every Christian who has ever taken the news to a neighbor.

Isaya 61:1: "Roho ya Bwana MUNGU i juu yangu; kwa maana BWANA amenitia mafuta niwahubiri wanyenyekevu habari njema." Tena ni Kiebrania basar. LXX euangelisasthai. Na Yesu anausoma mstari huu huu katika sinagogi la mji wake katika Luka 4:18, anaujitumia Mwenyewe, na anatangaza kwamba unabii huo sasa umetimia. Basar ya Agano la Kale na euangelion ya Agano Jipya ni neno moja katika lugha mbili. Miaka mia saba ya matarajio ya kinabii ya Kiebrania inatiririka ndani ya nomino moja ya Kigiriki.Isaiah 61:1: "The Spirit of the Lord God is upon me; because the Lord hath anointed me to preach good tidings unto the meek." Hebrew basar again. LXX euangelisasthai. And Jesus reads this very verse at His hometown synagogue in Luke 4:18, applies it to Himself, and announces that the prophecy is now fulfilled. The Old Testament basar and the New Testament euangelion are the same word in two languages. Seven hundred years of Hebrew prophetic anticipation flows into one Greek noun.

Hatua ya 6 (RUDI): Kusoma Warumi 1:16 tenaStep 6 (RETURN): Rereading Romans 1:16

Sasa soma mstari huu tena: "Kwa maana siionei haya Injili ya Kristo; kwa sababu ni uweza wa Mungu uuletao wokovu." Hiki ndicho neno hili linachobeba sasa. Ulimwengu wa Kirumi ulikuwa na euangelion yake — tangazo la ushindi wa kifalme, tangazo la siku ya kuzaliwa kwa Kaisari, habari ya mfalme mpya kwenye kiti cha enzi. Paulo anaiandikia barua hii Roma, mji mkuu wa milki, na anatumia neno lilelile kwa tangazo shindani: habari kwamba Bwana mwingine (kyrios — unakumbuka Sehemu ya 9?) ametawazwa. Msalaba ulionekana kama kushindwa. Ufufuo uliugeuza kuwa euangelion. Na Paulo anadai kwamba tangazo hili shindani ni uweza wa Mungu uuletao wokovu. Linafanya kile ambacho euangelion ya Kaisari haikuwahi kufanya. Linaokoa. Neno la Kigiriki linafanya kazi ya kulinganisha milki ya Kaisari na Kristo katika mstari uleule ambao Luther aliuona ndani yake Matengenezo ya Kanisa. Warumi 1:16 una tabaka nyingi kuliko Kiingereza peke yake kinavyoonyesha. Euangelion inafungua tabaka hizo.Now reread the verse: "For I am not ashamed of the gospel of Christ: for it is the power of God unto salvation." Here is what the word now carries. The Roman world had its own euangelion — the proclamation of imperial victory, the announcement of Caesar's birthday, the news of a new emperor on the throne. Paul writes this letter to Rome, the imperial capital, and uses the same word for a rival announcement: the news that a different Lord (kyrios — remember Unit 9?) has been enthroned. The cross looked like defeat. The resurrection turned it into euangelion. And Paul claims this rival announcement is the power of God unto salvation. It does what Caesar's euangelion never did. It saves. The Greek word is doing imperial-versus-Christ work in the very verse Luther saw the Reformation in. Romans 1:16 is more layered than the English alone reveals. Euangelion opens those layers.

Katika Roma ya Kaisari, injili ilikuwa tangazo la ushindi wa kifalme. Paulo aliiandikia Roma kwamba kuna Mshindi mwingine na ushindi mwingine. Neno la Kigiriki euangelion linabeba mgongano huo wote.In Caesar's Rome, the gospel was a proclamation of imperial victory. Paul wrote to Rome that there was a different Victor and a different victory. The Greek word euangelion carries the entire collision.

Maneno ya Kiingereza yanayotokana naloEnglish derivatives

Familia ya neno hili ni pana katika Kiingereza. Evangel ni neno la zamani la Kiingereza kwa injili yenyewe. Evangelist (mwinjilisti) ni mtu anayeitangaza. Evangelism (uinjilisti) ni shughuli yenyewe. Evangelical ni kivumishi cha vuguvugu lililojitoa kwa ajili yake. Injili nne — Mathayo, Marko, Luka, Yohana — kwa maana halisi ni "evangelia nne." Kila unapotamka mojawapo ya maneno haya ya Kiingereza, neno la Kigiriki euangelion limesimama nyuma ya kinywa chako.The word family is generous in English. Evangel is an archaic English word for the gospel itself. An evangelist is one who announces it. Evangelism is the activity. Evangelical is the adjective for a movement committed to it. The four Gospels — Matthew, Mark, Luke, John — are literally "the four evangelia." Every time you say one of these English words, the Greek euangelion stands behind your mouth.

Urefu na umbo la mfano uliofanyiwa kaziLength and shape of the worked example

Mfano huu uliofanyiwa kazi, katika Kiingereza, una takriban maneno 950 katika hatua zote sita. Uchunguzi wa kuhitimisha wa karibu maneno 800 utakuwa na umbo linalofanana. Angalia uwiano: takriban maneno 200 juu ya kamusi na asili ya neno, maneno 300 juu ya kulifuatilia katika Agano Jipya, maneno 250 juu ya msingi wa Kiebrania wa Agano la Kale, na maneno 200 juu ya kusoma tena mstari wa awali. Rekebisha uwiano huu kulingana na neno lako, lakini hakikisha hatua zote sita zinawakilishwa.This worked example, in English, runs about 950 words across the six steps. A capstone word study in the 800-word range will be similar in shape. Notice the proportions: about 200 words on the lexicon and etymology, 300 words on tracing through the New Testament, 250 words on the Old Testament Hebrew background, and 200 words on the rereading of the original verse. Adjust these proportions according to your word, but keep all six steps represented.

Vidokezo vya vitendoPractical tips

Chagua neno unalolijali kwa kweli. Uchunguzi wa neno unaoufanya kwa sababu unataka kuelewa kwa kina jambo fulani kuhusu Kristo au maisha ya Kikristo utasomeka vizuri. Uchunguzi wa neno unaoufanya kwa sababu tu kazi inadai utasikika kama wa kimashine. Wayne anaweza kutambua tofauti ndani ya aya mbili.Pick a word you actually care about. A word study you do because you want to understand something deeply about Christ or the Christian life will be readable. A word study you do because the assignment requires it will sound mechanical. Wayne can tell the difference within two paragraphs.

Tumia Blue Letter Bible (programu ya bure au tovuti) kama chombo chako kikuu. Tumia Bible Hub kwa mwonekano wa interlinear (maandishi ya asili yenye tafsiri chini ya kila neno) ikiwa unataka kuona uchambuzi wa kisarufi. Ikiwa unaweza kupata Logos au e-Sword, ni sawa, lakini huvihitaji. Vyombo vya bure vinatosha kwa kazi hii.Use Blue Letter Bible (free app or website) as your primary tool. Use Bible Hub for the interlinear view if you want to see grammatical parsing. If you have access to Logos or e-Sword, fine, but you do not need them. Free tools are sufficient for this assignment.

Epuka mitego mitatu kutoka Sehemu ya 10. Usianguke katika kosa la mzizi. Usihubiri kwamba kanisa ni "baruti" (dynamite). Usihamishe jumla ya maana zote isivyo halali. Ruhusu muktadha wa mstari wako mahususi uamue ni maana ipi katika wigo wa neno hilo inayotumika kwa kweli. Usinaswe na mtego wa "maana iliyofichika zaidi." Strong's huutajirisha mstari; karibu kamwe haipindui tafsiri ya Kiingereza.Avoid the three pitfalls from Unit 10. No root fallacy. Do not preach that the church is "dynamite." No illegitimate totality transfer. Let the context of your specific verse discipline which meaning of the word's range is actually in play. No "deeper meaning" trap. Strong's enriches the verse; it almost never overturns the English translation.

Taja vyanzo vyako. Unaponukuu Strong's au Thayer's, sema hivyo. Unaponukuu mstari, toa rejea yake. Lengo si kuonyesha vyanzo vyako; lengo ni kufanya hoja zako ziweze kukaguliwa. Kuwa Mberoya kwa msomaji wako kama ulivyokuwa Mberoya kwa Paulo.Cite your sources. When you quote Strong's or Thayer's, say so. When you quote a verse, give the reference. The point is not to display your sources; the point is to make your reasoning checkable. Be a Berean for your reader the way you have been a Berean for Paul.

Hoja Kuu ya Kozi HiiThe Thesis of This Course

Biblia ni Kitabu kimoja, cha Mwandishi mmoja, juu ya Kiini kimoja, kinachomhusu Shujaa mmoja. Kila sura ya Maandiko, kila aya, kila sentensi, hatimaye inamwelekea Kristo. Baada ya sehemu kumi na moja, hoja hiyo si ya kinadharia tena. Umeifuatilia katika Aleph-Tav ya Kiebrania (Kristo wa Kwanza na wa Mwisho), katika Alpha-Omega ya Kigiriki (cheo kilekile katika lugha ya Ufunuo), katika Logos (Neno aliyefanyika mwili), katika agapê (upendo uliomsukuma hadi msalabani), katika charis (zawadi anayoileta), katika pneuma (Roho anayemtuma), katika pistis (imani inayompokea), katika sôzô (wokovu anaoutenda), katika dikaiosynê (haki anayoitoa), na katika kyrios (Ubwana anaoudai). Shujaa mmoja. Lugha nyingi. Kila neno katika kozi hii lilikuwa dirisha la kuutazama uso wake.The Bible is one Book, by one Author, on one Theme, about one Hero. Every chapter of Scripture, every paragraph, every sentence, ultimately points to Christ. Eleven units later, that thesis is no longer abstract. You have traced it in the Hebrew Aleph-Tav (Christ the First and Last), in the Greek Alpha-Omega (the same title in the language of Revelation), in Logos (the Word made flesh), in agapê (the love that drove Him to the cross), in charis (the gift He brings), in pneuma (the Spirit He sends), in pistis (the faith that receives Him), in sôzô (the salvation He works), in dikaiosynê (the righteousness He grants), and in kyrios (the Lordship He claims). One Hero. Many languages. Every word in this course was a window onto His face.

Sehemu kumi na moja, alfabeti mbili, maneno kadhaa, Shujaa mmoja. Kozi nzima ilimhusu Yeye.Eleven units, two alphabets, a dozen words, one Hero. The whole course was about Him.

Mambo matatu, kabla hujaondoka.Three things, before you go.

Kwanza, endelea kufanya hivi. Fundi anayejifunza mara moja tu si fundi. Fundi ni mtu anayerudi kwenye benchi lake la kazi kila asubuhi. Fanya kutafuta katika Strong's kuwe sehemu ya usomaji wako wa Biblia wa kila siku tangu sasa. Gusa neno moja kila siku. Soma maelezo moja ya kamusi. Fuatilia namba moja ya Strong's. Maandalizi ya mahubiri, ibada za kila siku, masomo ya shule ya Jumapili, ibada ya familia — vyote ni bora zaidi pale neno moja la Kigiriki au Kiebrania katika kila somo linapofunguliwa hadi kina chake. Una vyombo. Vitumie.First, keep doing this. A workman who studies once is not a workman. A workman is the man who comes back to the workbench every morning. Make Strong's lookup a part of your daily Bible reading from now on. Tap a word every day. Read one lexicon entry. Trace one Strong's number. Sermon preparation, daily devotions, Sunday-school lessons, family worship — all of them are better when one Greek or Hebrew word per study is opened to its depth. You have the tools. Use them.

Pili, usiruhusu vyombo vichukue nafasi ya Neno. Waebrania 4:12 ilisema Neno la Mungu ni hai na energês — linatenda, linafanya kazi, liko katika utendaji. Strong's ni bisibisi. Neno ni upanga. Bisibisi inakusaidia kufungua na kurekebisha mpini wa upanga; haichukui nafasi ya makali yake. Soma Biblia yako ya Kiingereza au ya Kihispania kila siku. Omba ukipitia zaburi. Liache Neno likusome. Kazi ya lugha za asili inautumikia usomaji wa kila siku; haiuondoi.Second, do not let the tools replace the Word. Hebrews 4:12 said the Word of God is living and energês — active, working, in operation. Strong's is a screwdriver. The Word is a sword. The screwdriver helps you open and adjust the sword's handle; it does not replace the blade. Read your English or Spanish Bible every day. Pray your way through psalms. Let the Word read you. The original-language work serves the daily reading; it does not displace it.

Tatu, kipitishe kwa wengine. Mchungaji au mshiriki wa kawaida anayeweza kufungua neno la Kigiriki ambalo kusanyiko lake halijawahi kuliona likifunguliwa ni mchungaji mwenye thamani isiyo ya kawaida kwa watu wake. Fundisha ulichojifunza. Mwonyeshe mshiriki mmoja wa kanisa jinsi ya kutumia Blue Letter Bible. Mwonyeshe mwongofu mmoja mpya maana ya agapê. Shiriki utafutaji mmoja wa Strong's katika mkutano ujao wa maombi. Seminari iliingia mikononi mwa mshiriki wa kawaida mwaka 1890. Kazi yako ni kuendelea kuipitisha kwa wengine.Third, hand this on. A pastor or layperson who can open a Greek word that his congregation has never seen opened is a pastor of unusual value to his people. Teach what you have learned. Show one church member how to use Blue Letter Bible. Show one new convert what agapê means. Share one Strong's lookup at the next prayer meeting. The seminary went into the hand of the layman in 1890. Your job is to keep handing it on.

Hukuja seminari ili ujue zaidi ya jirani yako. Ulikuja kuulisha Mwili wa Kristo. Chukua ulichopewa ukawalishe kondoo.You did not come to seminary to know more than your neighbor. You came to feed the Body of Christ. Take what you have been given and feed the sheep.

Na neno moja la mwishoAnd one last word

Wayne alianza kozi hii miaka mingi iliyopita kutokana na imani thabiti kwamba lugha za Biblia si mali ya tabaka la wasomi. Ni mali ya kanisa. Ni urithi wa kila mwamini aliye tayari kujifunza. Kozi hii ni, kwa sehemu, zawadi yake ya urithi huo kwako. Utakapoketi katika mkutano ujao wa maombi na mtu akasoma Warumi 1:16 kwa sauti, nawe ukasikia euangelion nyuma ya neno "Injili," na mstari ukafunguka kuwa Kaisari dhidi ya Kristo kwa namna ambayo haukuwahi kufunguka hapo kabla — utakuwa umepokea kile ambacho Wayne ametumia maisha yake kujaribu kukipitisha. Mshumaa sasa uko mkononi mwako. Ubebe.Wayne began this course years ago out of a conviction that biblical languages do not belong to the academic class. They belong to the church. They are the inheritance of every believer who is willing to learn. This course is, in part, his gift of that inheritance to you. When you sit in the next prayer meeting and someone reads Romans 1:16 aloud, and you hear euangelion behind the English word "gospel," and the verse opens into Caesar-versus-Christ in a way it never did before — you have received what Wayne has spent his life trying to pass on. The candle is in your hand now. Carry it.

Sasa fanya mtihani. Ufaulu. Cheti cha kuhitimu kinakungoja upande wa pili. Kisha andika uchunguzi wako wa neno. Wayne atafurahi kuusoma.Now sit the examination. Pass it. The certificate of completion is waiting on the other side. And then write your word study. Wayne will be glad to read it.
