How do you say selah in spanish?

Answer 1

In Spanish, the word "selah" is typically translated as "selah" since it is a term used in The Bible and has no direct translation in Spanish. The term "selah" is a Hebrew word that is believed to have been a musical notation or a direction to pause and reflect in the context of the Psalms. So, when reading the Bible in Spanish, the word "selah" remains unchanged.

Answer 2

Oh, dude, you're really testing my language skills here. So, technically, "selah" doesn't have a direct translation in Spanish because it's a term used in the Hebrew Bible. But if you really want to get creative, you could say something like "pausa" or "detente" to kinda capture the essence of it. Like, not a perfect match, but close enough for jazz, you know?

Answer 3

Selah (Hebrew: סלה) may be the most difficult word in the Hebrew Bible to translate. Selah is probably either a liturgico-musical mark or an instruction on the reading of the text, something like "stop and listen". The Psalms were sung accompanied by Musical Instruments and there are references to this in many chapters. Thirty-one of the thirty-nine psalms with the caption "To the choir-master []" include "Selah" so the musical context of selah is obvious. Selah notes a break in the song and as such is similar in purpose to Amen in that it stresses the importance of the preceding passage. Alternatively, Selah may mean "forever", as it does in some places in the liturgy (notably the second to last blessing of the Amidah).As for word roots, Selah, [celah], is from the primary Hebrew root word [calah] which means 'to hang,' and by implication to measure (weigh).And what we do know is that it is a word which means to weigh or measure. And in the Bible contexts, to weigh the preceding Word of God and wisely consider them. It is a signature exhortation from God for our thoughtful reflection and weighing of what we have just read.[1] Also "Selah" is the name of a city in David and Solomon time [2].The above is quoted from Wikipedia.

Answer 4

If by selah you mean the term that is often found in the Psalms in the Bible, the term "selah" is the translation found in the Reina Valera.
