[QUOTE]Originally posted by TSN: [QB] Omega: You expect me to trust your translation skills when you can't even transliterate properly? How the fuck did you get "ewv" out of "heos"?! The Greek word is spelled epsilon-omega-sigma, and the diacritical marks show an 'h' at the beginning. As a matter of fact, you transliterated [i]every[/i] omega as a 'w'! Can you not even properly interpret the letter [i]that you use as your name[/i]?! Here's the proper transliteration. I've used capital letters to denote eta and omega, as opposed to epsilon and omicron... <blockquote>[i]pasai oun hai geneai apo abraam heOs dauid geneai dekatessares, kai apo dauid heOs tEs metoikesias babulOnos geneai dekatessares, kai apo tEs metoikesias babulOnos heOs tou khristou geneai dekatessares.[/i]</blockquote> [i]pasai[/i] == "all", "the whole" (plural) [i]oun[/i] == "so" [i]hai[/i] == I can't find it [i]geneai[/i] == "generations" [i]apo[/i] == "from" [i]abraam[/i] == "Abraham" [i]heOs[/i] == "until" [i]dauid[/i] == "David" [i]dekatessares[/i] == this seems to be an alternative form of "[i]tessareskaideka[/i]", which is "fourteen" [i]kai[/i] == "and" [i]tEs[/i] == I can't find it [i]metoikesias[/i] == "captivities" [i]babulOnos[/i] == not precisely the word for "Babylonian" ("[i]babulOnios[/i]"), but that's what it probably was meant to be [i]tou[/i] == I can't find it, but this is the word used in Luke that's translated as "son of" [i]khristou[/i] == "anointed" <blockquote>So all [i]hai[/i] generations from Abraham until David fourteen generations, and from David until [i]tEs[/i] Babylonian captivities fourteen generations, and from [i]tEs[/i] Babylonian captivities to [i]tou[/i] anointed fourteen generations.</blockquote> Like I said, I don't know Greek grammar, but, in a way, this seems like it could be set up in the following manner... <blockquote>So all the generations:<ul> [*]from Abraham to David: 14 [*]from David to Babylon: 14 [*]from Babylon to Jesus: 14</ul></blockquote> That's just speculation, of course. But, then, so is what you're doing. [/QB][/QUOTE]
