| Summary: | Language does not reflect reality but creates reality. For this reason language can install justice or injustice. Translations can thus open up spaces for survival. Bible translators translate a book that prompts justice. At the same time, the Bible is full of texts which tell stories of oppression: of women by women (Gen 16 Hagar by Sara), of women raped by men (Tamar by her half-brother Amnon in 2 Sam 13,14), of the «offering» of a daughter by her father (Ri 11), or of the enslavement of non-Hebrews (Lev 25). How can one translate these texts, which do injustice, these «texts of terror»? The question is, how can we translate a discriminating text in a just manner, without downplaying violence? This paper tries to develop a hermeneutics of translation based on these presuppositions and problems. It discusses the above-mentioned passages and gives possible translations of texts of terror in a way that promotes justice. |
