Note 1: It is considered blasphemous to utter God's four-letter name. When God's name appears in prayer it is pronounced "Adonai", which literally translates as "Lord". Some people find the word "Adonai" uncomfortable to utter outside of devotional prayer, and substitute "Hashem" (literally "the name") for "Adonai" when not actually praying. The transliteration, above, contains the word "Adonai", but the translation of the transliteration goes the extra step to avoid blasphemy by using the word "Hashem" in place of the word "Adonai".

Famous quotes containing the words english and/or translation:
“The boneless quality of English conversation, which, so far as I have heard it, is all form and no content. Listening to Britons dining out is like watching people play first-class tennis with imaginary balls.”
—Margaret Halsey (b. 1910)
“To translate, one must have a style of his own, for otherwise the translation will have no rhythm or nuance, which come from the process of artistically thinking through and molding the sentences; they cannot be reconstituted by piecemeal imitation. The problem of translation is to retreat to a simpler tenor of one’s own style and creatively adjust this to one’s author.”
—Paul Goodman (1911–1972)
