| Summary: | Job 28 is a panoramic wisdom poem. This article discusses several implications for translation, first in relation to the text's printed formatting on the published page, and second with regard to its re-creation in another language and socio-cultural framework Both the ancient biblical and contemporary Bantu cultures have an extensive wisdom tradition of written and oral literature (or ""orature""). The discourse structure of many poetic texts in the Bible presents us with an issue that is controversial, not only among commentators (where differences of opinion may well be expected), but also among the various translated versions that have been published. |
