I was reading one time in the Book of Mormon, and I planned to read some of the words from my dialect or Language which is Cebuano. I was now living here in the Luzon area where they used the Tagalog Language, and I think that my Cebuano Language may be corrupted for some reason.
I talk a lot Tagalog at Work, at Home and even my Child was raised in a Tagalog dialect speaking environment. So, I'm thinking this would be the best opportunity to go back to my native tongue. I open up my apps (LDS Library) and there I began reading from where I previously read in English. And to my surprise, this seems awkward. I try to think about it over and over, but I think something's wrong with it. I contacted my Cousin in Cebu and forwarded the Screenshots and told them to compare. They didn't reply to me back, so I ask one of my friends on Social media to help me with it if they know someone who could do the interpretation or have direct contact with Cebuano-English Translator. As of now, I receive no reply about the interpretation.
Anyway, I uploaded the picture that I send to them and I think this will be the best opportunity to let everyone be aware of the things they read in regards to language interpretations. I am not saying that the Scriptures (either the Bible or The Book of Mormon) are not true, rather what I'm saying was that it is better to understand everything you read. I believe that some of the reasons why the Bible was wrong based on interpretation were that the version of the translation is not directly from its source, or possibly because of some Poor English Grammar and old styles from the first version of interpretation. The First edition has seemed too much confusing, so I think that everyone should be aware of everything they read, and don't rely on preachers only, but on the Holy Ghost through prayer. There are people out there who are non-believers and I think they are using most of the wrong interpretations to destroy legitimate words or just to find faults about the church.
I added this interpretation for you to know how the Cebuano's Translation of the Book of Mormon says -
Cebuano [ ... mabanhaw pag-usab gikan sa patay. ]
English for actual translation [ ... will resurrect again from the dead. ]
From English Original Words [ ... will rise again from the dead. ]
The word banhaw means resurrection
mabanhaw means will resurrect (almost identical as will rise in gospel subject terms, but not all uses the same term.)
nabanhaw means had resurrected
Will I am not good at it, but for sure the right word should be "Bangong"
Mobangon or Mibangon means rose or will rise
Nibangon means had risen
The meaning is identical or almost the same but the usage is the main concern. I don't know for you or everyone else that will read the book. Anyway, as I had said, I am not contradicting the book and I love reading it, maybe language and interpretation makes a difference but it doesn't change the fact and legitimacy of the said book.
You may correct me if I'm wrong just contact me in the contact Form and I love to hear words from you guys.
Thank you.
