초록

To propose elements and a framework for translating Bible into proper honorifics, this paper critically reviews the literal translation theory, dynamic equivalence, functional equivalence, literary functional equivalence approaches, and the skopos theory. The literal translation approach which may have denotatively rendered the Greek text into a single honorific form, cannot provide an appropriate framework for translating into honorifics.
In terms of translating into honorifics, the model of dynamic equivalence approach presents the problems: (1) the translation elements, the source, message and receptor are not enough to determine the translating of a non-honorific language into the proper honorifics of honorific languages, (2) the translator alone takes total responsibility in determining the honorifics without specific information and the requirements of the ‘final receptor,’ and (3) the source text is the theoretical starting point for the translation. Nevertheless, it provides significant three-stages of translation, analysis, transfer, and restructuring, applicable to the framework for translating into honorifics.
The functional equivalence of the emphasis, i.e., the rhetorical structure of text is useful in being aware of the overall structure of the discourse, but does not suggest a proper whole framework for translating into honorifics. A literary functional equivalence cannot also provide a sufficient framework for translating into the target text, although the main characteristics, i.e., the analytical criteria, the discourse-central, genre-based perspective, coherence, and pragmatic intent are partly useful to establish a method for translating into honorifics.
The skopos theory suggests a suitable framework for translating into honorifics. In the skopos theory, the integrated framework for translating into honorifics can be formulated with the following elements: (1) reader, (2) commissioner, (3) translator, (4) source text, and (5) target text. Translation into honorifics is determined by the linguistic competence, requirement, needs, and theological aspect of the final readers’ community. The commissioner and the translator must get as much information as possible about the readers and pragmatically analyze the source text as the first reader. As the result of the analysis, the translator will be able to realize power, distance, rank and speaker’s intention as social variables, and transfer it pragmatically to the target text with the appropriate honorifics. However, the final selection of honorifics in the target text is determined by the translator who considers the readers’community insofar as being consistent with the analysis of the source text.
