@unu niile

Update:

So I have been at this Igbo language for quite a while now. I have been studying alot, watching Nollywood movies that speak nothing but Igbo, listen to songs sung Igbo, and I even been reading a little literature in Igbo. And I have been hanging around folk who are native speakers. So anyways. . . . an opportunity came to me about two Sundays ago. Our preacher was talking about "World Communion Day" and that he wanted to show how we as Christians may speak different languages but all understand the same underline meaning.

So folk at my church were signing up to translate this bible verse in which ever language they felt comfortable. So then I was like "Onyinye, this is your chance to break the glass and finally become comfortable in speaking Igbo among others" Because I am so not confident in my Igbo skills and I do not speak in front of people much at all. So I was guessing that this was my chance to do so.

Then with out letting out an opposing thought. . . . I got up, wrote my name and what language I was going to translate the verse in. I then went home and started translating the verse, using all the material I have, ya'll have given me, and the internet. As I was translating the piece, I was stumbled on a few words. Mainly how to say "Covenant" "Poured" "Which" "Disciples" "Sins" and "Given". These are the only words in my verse I still can't seem to translate. So. . . . . if you could find it in your heart to help a sista out and translate these words for me, I will be most grateful. I would ask my parents, but I kinda wanna surprise them.

I will only pick four to answer. Will give others the chance to finish the rest or even correct me.

Convenant= Ogbugba ndu

Disciples= Umuazu eg disciples of Jesus christ is translated as umuazu Jesu christi

Sins = Njo

Which= nke eg which one?= Nke ole?
Re: Igbo Kwenu ! Kwenu Kwezo Nu ! Join Us If You Proud To Be An Igbo Guy/lady by agaba123(m): 1:42am On Oct 04, 2008
get the context in which those words are and e can try.


edugirl answered good

I imagine that the 'poured' went with 'his blood'

Poured = wufuru or wusara

He poured his blood = o wufuru obara ya.

given= context is important for proper meaning

was given for == enyere maka
Re: Igbo Kwenu ! Kwenu Kwezo Nu ! Join Us If You Proud To Be An Igbo Guy/lady by onyinye2(f): 1:50am On Oct 04, 2008
So thanks for the translations so far. Uhmmmm. . . . I guess I should have mentioned the context. Well the verse comes from Matthew 26:26-29.

Oka so this is the context:

Which:

". . . which is poured out for. . . "

Given:

". . . and given thanks. . ."

And I was hoping you could translate how to say "While"
Re: Igbo Kwenu ! Kwenu Kwezo Nu ! Join Us If You Proud To Be An Igbo Guy/lady by agaba123(m): 1:56am On Oct 04, 2008
which is poured out for = nke a wufuru maka . . .
, given thanks' still not clear. , .

while = context needed also

we may not have word for word translation, but the context will make the translation easy
Re: Igbo Kwenu ! Kwenu Kwezo Nu ! Join Us If You Proud To Be An Igbo Guy/lady by onyinye2(f): 2:02am On Oct 04, 2008
Oka. . . . ummm. . . .

I will give you part of the verse to further understand. I hope it helps a little,

Given:
"And when He had taken a cup and 'given' thanks. . . ."

While:
"While they were eating, Jesus took some. . ."

Nwannem agaba, I meela. grin

Let's just hope I got the rest of the verse in the correct context and that I am accurately pronouncing each word.
I swear, come Sunday, I just know I'm going to mess up and get tongued tied and. , . aghhhhh I don't t think I even going to go through with the whole thing.
