* River Blindness
RIVER BLINDNESS - Onchocerciasis
Some information with world map of occurence in the middle of the page - please inform webmaster if link becomes useless)
My gift to the world is to fight this scourge WITH WORDS, so people all around the world can be informed to prevent it with standard labelled pictures. etc. How? I can show you where the following words can be found in "other language" Bibles. More useful wordings can be found in the book or with a concordance.
blindness - 2 Kings 6:18
(often 2 noun occurences in the verse,
at least one "blind" word)
blindheid - Afrikaans
ǝwwǝrǝnnät - Amharic (main Ethiopian language)(syllables not available here)
Blindhed - Danish
d'aveuglement - French (l'aveuglement)
Blindheit - German
cecità - Italian
acesta - Romanian (confirm)
ceguera - Spanish
indhabeel - Somali
upofu - Swahili
Webster's Dictionary has other translations, including nearer the end another Bible reference with full verses given. Blindness not identified or highlighted.
To describe "River blindness" more precisely, we could combine: "Blindness" and "from a/your river"
from your river - Psalm 36:8
from their streams - Psalm 78:44
from the river - Genesis 15:18; Exodus 4:8; 2 Chronicles 9:26
from the ____ river - Joshua 13:3; 1 Chronicles 13:5
(No time to add some examples now)
THE AIM IS: so that the blind will say:
I was blind, but now I see! - John 9:25
Inaan indha la'aa, oo aan haddana wax arkayo! - Somali
******************************************************
Since blindness can occur in only right and/or left eyes
we could add these wordings in many languages:
right eye: described as: eye, on my right
left eye: described as eye, on the left
on MY right - Job 30:12
(compare to Jeremiah 22:24)
on THE left - Josuah 19:27
*******************************************************
River blindness is caused by the
filaria worm that live on blackflies that come from rivers
worm - Mark 9:48
le ver - French
Wurm - German
verme - Italian
gusano - Spanish
worms - Acts 12:23
gusanos - Spanish
The word Filaria can be rendered in Bible syllables:
FI-LA-RI-A
FI or (FIL for some languages) from the name Philemon - Philemon 1:2 or Philadelphia
LA from Laodicea - Revelations 3:14
RI from MercuRIus (not Hermes), MeraRI, MiRIam, DaRIus
A from A-dam or A-pollo
The filaria worm lives on a "blackflies"
we can make up:
black...flying insects...from your river:
from
black - Revelation 6:5 black horses sometimes have specific names. Then the word black won't be found)
no time for a sample!!!
and
(all) flying insects - Deuteronomy 14:19
(tout) insecte ailé - French
(alle) geflügelte Insekten - German (Kleingetier xxx)
(todo) insecto alado - Spanish
(ogni) insetto che vola - Italian
