Translation note for our Spanish & Portuguese sisters

Translated · 🇫🇷 French

Quick note from a translator nerd: in our French Bible, the verse we read this week uses a word that’s closer to ‘compassion that moves you’ than the English ‘felt compassion.’ Reading both side by side completely changed it for me.

If you read in another language, share the version you grew up with. Let’s collect them in this thread.

    In Portuguese the word is ‘compaixão’ but in older translations it’s ‘misericórdia’ — which is more like ‘mercy that has guts.’ I love that the same verse keeps unpacking itself in different languages.
