Translation Assessment of Three English Translations of Words of Patience in some Selected Verses
Abstract
Etymologically, the word patience is derived from the Latin root "pati-" which symbolizes "to suffer" (Skeat, 1993:335). From the religious point of view, as Fowler (1999:1) asserts, the virtue of patience is widely common in Old and New Testaments. In Old Testament, patience means "slow to anger" and in New Testament it signifies "perseverance in the face of difficulty".
Easwaran (2010:25-6) defines patience as "a self-mastery, the capacity to hold on and remain loving in a difficult situation when every atom of your being wants to turn and run." In a broader line, ابن القيم (2008:15-6) remarks that patience means accepting all kinds of hardship.
