Download or read book Luke s Gospel in Cherokee written by Johannah Ries and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-02-27 with total page 512 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke's Gospel contains narrative history, genealogy, sermons, parables (19 of them), and prophesy. Luke, a doctor and a Greek-speaking Christian, accompanied Paul on mission journeys, which he wrote about in the Acts of the Apostles. This Gospel was written to record an accurate account of the life of Jesus Christ. Luke wrote presenting Jesus as the "Son of Man," and the Savior of all humanity, using a literary level of Greek to reach the non-Jewish world. While the Cherokee Gospels were translated directly from the Greek Textus Receptus rather than from an existing translation such as the King James Version, response from Cherokee clergy and language teachers infomred us that they would prefer the English be taken from the King James. We present each verse in Old Syllabary, New Syllabary, and phonetic Cherokee as well as English to promote study of the Cherokee language.
Download or read book Luke s Gospel in Cherokee written by Johannah Meeks Ries and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2014-06-22 with total page 344 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Luke's Gospel is a companion to the Cherokee syllabary-only New Testament digitized and released in 2013. Translated into Cherokee in the nineteenth century under the direction of Revs. Samuel Worcester and Elias Boudinot, the Cherokee New Testament is the largest complex text composed in Cherokee by fluent speakers with command of a high level of the language. For generations, the New Testament has been used by Cherokees of all persuasions to learn to speak and write as their ancestors did. Luke is considered the most poetic and literary of the four Gospels, suggesting the author was an educated professional of the day. Tradition claims he was the Apostle Paul's personal physician, accompanying him on this travels. The Cherokee translators strove to use a level of the Cherokee language that did justice to the Greek, as they translated from the Textus Receptus rather than the English King James Version or the Latin Vulgate. Deepen your understanding of the Cherokee Bible and the Cherokee language by reading each verse in Cherokee syllabary, phonetic Cherokee, and English.

Download or read book Acts of the Apostles in Cherokee written by Johannah Ries and published by Createspace Independent Publishing Platform. This book was released on 2018-07-23 with total page 486 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Why do you stand here staring into the sky?" Acts of the Apostles can be read as a sequel to the Gospel of Luke. It was written to be read aloud to a group of Christians gathered for the Communion. The author engages the reader by questioning a Christian's proper relationship with the Roman Empire, the civil power of the day: could a Christian obey God and also Caesar? The answer is ambiguous then, and still is. The Romans had (so far) never move against Jesus or his followers unless provoked by the Jews. In the trial scenes described, the Christian missionaries are always cleared of charges of violating Roman laws. Stephen's exposition in chapters 6 and 7 summarizes the history of the tribes of Israel from the journey of Abraham through the Egyptian captivity and exodus, and up to the betrayal and execution of Jesus by the Jewish authorities. Acts of the Apostles ends in Rome, with Paul proclaiming the Christian message under Roman protection. After the stoning of Stephen and conversion of Paul, the closing chapter of Acts can also be seen as a break with Jewish identity and leadership, and the transition of the Gospel to the larger Greco-Roman world. We present this Gospel in larger print to accommodate those who would like to study the characters in Cherokee, several of which are difficult to distinguish from one another in smaller type. We provide phonetic Cherokee and English for each verse, and the layout was executed to keep each verse to a single page, eliminating the need to flip pages to find stray bit of a verse. We recommend you sound out each word using the syllabary guide in the back of the book. The English used herein is drawn from the King James Version, The original translation into Cherokee drew from the Greek Textus Receptus, and required some creativity to present Mediterranean concepts strange to Native America. For example, the Hebrew 'gè'ben-hinnom' is simplified in Greek to 'gehenna'. A place of burnt offerings and Jerusalem's trash dump, it represents the destination of unascended spirits, and so was replaced in Cherokee with tsusginayi, which we have translated back into English as "the Ghostland." Proceeds from the sale of this volume benefit the Cherokee Bible Project and the Four Rivers Native American Church in their missions.

Download or read book People of Kituwah written by John D. Loftin and published by Univ of California Press. This book was released on 2024-04-30 with total page 299 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: According to Cherokee tradition, the place of creation is Kituwah, located at the center of the world and home to the most sacred and oldest of all beloved, or mother, towns. Just by entering Kituwah, or indeed any village site, Cherokees reexperience the creation of the world, when the water beetle first surfaced with a piece of mud that later became the island on which they lived. People of Kituwah is a comprehensive account of the spiritual worldview and lifeways of the Eastern Cherokee people, from the creation of the world to today. Building on vast primary and secondary materials, native and non-native, this book provides a window into not only what the Cherokees perceive and understand—their notions of space and time, marriage and love, death and the afterlife, healing and traditional medicine, and rites and ceremonies—but also how their religious life evolved both before and after the calamitous coming of colonialism. Through the collaborative efforts of John D. Loftin and Benjamin E. Frey, this book offers an in-depth understanding of Cherokee culture and society.
