Why Do They Translate Names In The Bible?

Jesus is not the real name. That's a fabricated name. You know his name is not Jesus, right? If you go back to where Jesus was walking the earth and you walked around and said, where's Jesus? Nobody would know what you're talking about. Now this is the sickness the Christian has. He wants to translate names of people. Most Christians don't even know that Jesus spoke Aramaic. Now the language is a Semitic language. The Semitic languages are Hebrew, Arabic, and Aramaic. So Jesus is an English translation of a Latin translation of a Greek translation of a Hebrew translation of an Aramaic name. The name Jesus is not his actual name. This is accepted by Christians and non-Christians alike. What was his actual name? And what did his disciples and his earliest followers actually call him? But more importantly, why are names in the Bible purposefully translated? Here is Sheikh Deedat explaining. Now this is the sickness the Christian has. He wants to translate names of people, which you have no right to do. Look, Jesus. You know Jesus' name was not Jesus. I've been talking all night. I keep on saying Jesus, Jesus, but that was not his name. When he was born, his mother named him Esau. In Arabic, Esau. Hebrew, Esau. Classical Hebrew, Yeshua. Then where does Jesus come from? It comes from the Latinized Hebrew word, Latinized. They want to make it sound like Roman or Greek, not Jew. Esau sounds Jew, Yahudi. They don't want the God to be a Jew. They want him to look more like a Roman or a Greek. So they changed it to Jesus. As far as we know, Syriac Christians still use a liturgical language in their church services that would have been essentially the same type of Aramaic that was spoken in 1st century Palestine. And when we hear them pronounce the name of Jesus, it's not pronounced Yeshua, but it's pronounced Esau. Because his name was given to us over 7,000 times. But then at some point in time, way back in about 383 AD, they translated it and they were told not to use the name anymore. One of the Ten Commandments is, After Jesus left the earth, they would finally start writing the New Testament. Naturally, they wrote it in the most popular language, which was Greek. But because of this, the name Yeshua would actually end up getting changed. You see, Roman names sound like Brutus or Augustus. And in keeping up with that tradition, the name Yeshua would finally be changed to a much more Western, Jesus. So it was really Asus is what they were calling out. Asus, at the time that they were putting this canonized text together, this book together, this curated remix of information. And Asus is Hail Zeus. That's what they're saying in ancient tongue, Hail Zeus. If you start looking deep into the scriptures, man, one of them says, My children will know my name. Well, his name ain't Jesus. No, the scripture says, Seek and ye shall find. Listening to a pastor tell you something isn't seeking. So every time you call on the name of Jesus, you are actually saying Hail Zeus. You're not calling on the divine god king that you think you're calling on. You're calling on Zeus, an ancient character from Greece that actually a myth. Zeus is actually one of the original Sumerian pantheon. Got renamed to the Greek. That's how they do it. You know, the Greek always come in and they rename everybody. Why am I so big on the name? Well, because if you look at certain scripture, it says, Give praise to my name, give glory to my name. What's his name? No, it says Jesus. That's not his name. So everyone says it doesn't really matter. He just, as long as he knows. Look, I didn't read the part in the scripture that said that. I didn't read the part. Hey, call me whatever you want. Christ. Christ never heard the word Christ in his life. In his second coming, if he came to Karachi, if the Christians of Karachi recognized him and said, Jesus Christ, Jesus Christ. I'm telling these poor Christians that he won't even look back at you. He won't. You know why? Because he never heard the word Jesus Christ in his life. Muslims are not claiming that Jesus is Zeus or anything like that. What we are pointing out is the amount of confusion that exists over this matter. All these theories and confusion over a simple question stems from the fact that the Bible is not preserved at all. And there are many instances in history where it is evidential to have been tampered with. If the Prophet Muhammad, peace be upon him, walked on earth today, we would be calling him with his exact name as it was 1,400 years ago. Despite everything, it is a matter of disrespect to call a person a name other than their own, unless he or she asked others to refer to them in a different name. How could the followers of Jesus don't even bother to learn his actual name, much less to refer to him as such? Especially when the Christians believed in Jesus' second coming as well. He never heard the word Jesus Christ. Jesus is the Latin form of the Hebrew word Esau. Christ comes from the Hebrew word Messiah. Arabic Masih means anointed. Masah means anointed. In Hebrew, it means the same thing. Arabic means the same thing. Masah means to rub over. Priests and kings were anointed in consecration to the office. From today, you are our Imam. From today, you are our Bishop. From today, you are our ruler, our king. They did that. So, Messiah means one who is rubbed over. They translated that into Greek, Christos. Christos means anointed. Messiah means anointed. Masih means anointed. So they translated it to Christos. But Christos was too long for the God, so they cut off the us. They left with Christ. But Jesus never heard the word Christ in his life. I'm challenging the Christians, come, come man. I prove it to you that he never heard the word, and he's not likely to hear unless he's God Almighty. Can you imagine? Peter, the name Peter, Peter, never heard the word Peter. His name was Simon. He was a hard-headed fellow. You know, ever ready for a fight, like the Irishman. There's a fighting Irishman, or like the Pathan. With apologies, with apologies. You see, he was a fighting type of fellow. Ever arguing and debating, ever wanting to put up a fight. So Jesus said, Simon, In Hebrew, kifas means a rock. And on this rock, I'll build my church. On this foundation of your sternness, your stubbornness, I'll build my church. What did he say? He said in Hebrew, kifas. So they translated to Greek, there's a Petros, from which now they have the word Peter. But poor Peter, he doesn't know that he's Peter. Amazing situation. Can you see? But now because we don't know, these guys are coming and making rings around us. If you know, say, where did you get it? Jehovah. Where did you get the word Jehovah from? Brother, yes, your question.
