The exhaling sounds of the language interrupted by glottal stops, its numerous successive vowels (as many as five in a single word), and its rare consonants drove the missionaries to despair.
Ukuginywa kwamagama, ukugxalathelana kwezikhamiso (mhlawumbi zide zibe zihlanu kwigama elinye), noonobumba balo abambalwa, kwabangela ukuba aba bavangeli babe buphelelwa lithemba.

Groups of Masoretes in Babylon and Israel invented signs to be placed around the consonants to indicate accents and proper pronunciation of vowels.
Amaqela amaMasorete eBhabhiloni nakwaSirayeli asungula imiqondiso eyayibhalwa ijikeleze oonobumba bamaqabane ukubonisa indlela yokuthetha nobizo-magama olululo lwezikhamiso.

22 The Palestinian school placed the vowel signs above the consonants.
22 Iqela labaphengululi basePalestina labeka iimpawu zezikhamiso phezu kwamaqabane.

Hence, when the inspired writers wrote God’s name, they naturally did the same thing and wrote only the consonants.
Ngenxa yoko, xa ababhali abaphefumlelweyo babebhala igama likaThixo, basuka nje benza into efanayo baza babhala amaqabane kuphela.

According to one encyclopedia, those languages use consonants “made at almost every possible point in the mouth and throat.”
Enye intyilalwazi ithi, ezi lwimi zisebenzisa oonobumba “ababizwa ngazo zonke iindawo zomlomo nomqala.”

Researcher Marshall notes that her alphabetical card index of English swearwords is thickest under words that begin with explosive and sibilant consonants.
Umphandi uMarshall uthi ikhadi lakhe lesalathiso elihamba ngokoonobumba lezithuko zesiNgesi lilelona lizeleyo phantsi kwamagama anamaqabane adubulayo nanesifutho songqameko esingenalizwi.

He was thrilled when a Witness showed him that by combining vowel points with the four Hebrew consonants of God’s name, it could be pronounced “Jehovah.”
Wavuya kakhulu xa elinye iNgqina lamxelela ukuba xa efakela izikhamiso koonobumba abane besiHebhere abamela igama likaThixo, kuphuma igama elithi “Yehova.”

So whether the pronunciation of the Tetragrammaton becomes Yahweh or Jehovah depends on which vowels the reader supplies to the four consonants.
Ngoko enoba le Tetragrammaton ibizwa ngokuba nguYahweh okanye uYehova kuxhomekeka ukuba umfundi ufaka ziphi izikhamiso kula maqabane mane.

God’s name, represented by these four consonants, appears almost 7,000 times in the original “Old Testament,” or Hebrew Scriptures.
Igama likaThixo, elinala maqabane (consonants) mane, libonakala phantse izihlandlo ezingama-7 000 ‘kwiTestamente Endala’ yantlandlolo, okanye kwiZibhalo zesiHebhere.

In order to ensure that the pronunciation of the Hebrew language as a whole would not be lost, Jewish scholars of the second half of the first millennium C.E. invented a system of points to represent the missing vowels, and they placed these around the consonants in the Hebrew Bible.
Ukwenzela ukuqinisekisa ukuba ukubizwa kwamagama olwimi lwesiHebhere luphela kwakungayi kulahleka, abaphengululi bamaYuda besiqingatha sesibini sewaka leminyaka lokuqala Kwixesha Eliqhelekileyo bayila inkqubo yokubhala amachaphaza amela izikhamiso ezingekhoyo, yaye bawabeka la machaphaza angqonga amaqabane kwiBhayibhile yesiHebhere.

The name consists of four Hebrew consonants, corresponding to YHWH or JHVH, and has historically been rendered “Jehovah” in English.
Eli gama libhalwe ngoonobumba besiHebhere abane abangu-YHWH okanye JHVH xa beguqulelwa, ibe ukususela kwakudala bekusithiwa “nguYehova” ngesiXhosa.

In the Hebrew Scriptures, the divine name occurs almost 7,000 times and is spelled with four consonants—YHWH or JHVH.
KwiZibhalo zesiHebhere, igama likaThixo livela phantse izihlandlo ezingama-7 000 ibe limelwa ngamaqabane amane—anguYHWH okanye uJHVH.

In Hebrew manuscripts, the name appears just as four consonants, YHWH, and many insist that the proper pronunciation is “Yahweh,” not “Jehovah.”
Kwimibhalo-ngqangi yesiHebhere, eli gama livela lingoonobumba abane, YHWH, yaye abaninzi bagxininisa kwelokuba indlela efanelekileyo yokulibiza kukuthi “Yahweh,” kungekhona ukuthi “Yehova.”

Now the question of accurate pronunciation arises because early Hebrew writing consisted of consonants with no vowels to guide the reader.
Ngoku kukho ingxaki ngendlela efanelekileyo yokuwabiza kuba kaloku xa kwakubhalwa isiHebhere mandulo phayaa kwakusetyenziswa amaqabane kungekho zikhamiso zokunceda umfundi.

Thus, both vowels and consonants were written down, and the pronunciation as it was at that time was preserved.
Ngaloo ndlela, kokubini izikhamiso namaqabane abhalwa phantsi, yaye ukubizwa kwamagama njengoko kwakunjalo ngelo xesha kwalondolozwa.

These were placed above and below the consonants.
Ezi zinto zazibekwa ngentla nangezantsi kwamaqabane.

Thus, we have here the holy name of God, the Tetragrammaton, the four Hebrew consonants YHWH (Yahweh) that in their Latinized form have come to be known over the centuries in English as JEHOVAH.
Ngaloo ndlela, apha sinegama elingcwele likaThixo iTetragrammaton, engoonobumba abane besiHebhere abangaba YHWH (Yahweh) abathi ngokusuka kwisiLatini baziwa kangangeenkulungwane ngesiNgesi njengoJEHOVAH (UYEHOVA).

No human can be absolutely certain as to the original Hebrew pronunciation of the divine name because Biblical Hebrew was originally written with (only vowels; only consonants). [rs p. 195 par.
Akukho mntu onokuqiniseka ngendlela elalibizwa ngayo igama likaThixo ngaphambili ngesiHebhere kuba isiHebhere esasisetyenziswa eBhayibhileni ngaphambili sasibhalwa (ngezikhamiso kuphela; ngamaqabane kuphela). [rs-XO iphe. 391 isiqe.

These four-consonant words are commonly called the Tetragrammaton, or Tetragram, derived from two Greek words meaning “four letters.”
La maqabane mane ngokuqhelekileyo abizwa ngokuba yiTetragrammaton, okanye iTetragram, magama lawo asuka kumagama amabini esiGrike athetha “oonobumba abane.”

(Daniel 5:26) The consonants of the first word allowed for both the word “mina” and a form of the Aramaic word for “counted out,” or “numbered,” depending on the vowels supplied by the reader.
(Daniyeli 5:26) Amaqabane egama lokuqala ayelivumela igama elithi “imina” negama lesiAramiki elithetha ukuthi “ibaliwe,” kuxhomekeka kwizikhamiso ezifakelelwa ngulowo ulifundayo.

In ancient copies of the Hebrew Bible, the divine name is represented by four consonants that may be transliterated as YHWH or JHVH.
Kwimibhalo yantlandlolo yeBhayibhile yesiHebhere, igama likaThixo limelwa ngoonobumba abane abasenokubhalwa ngokuthi YHWH okanye JHVH.

Well, the first language used in writing the Bible was Hebrew, and when the Hebrew language was written down, the writers wrote only consonants —not vowels.
Kaloku, ulwimi lokuqala olwalusetyenziswa ekubhaleni iBhayibhile lwalusisiHebhere, yaye xa kwakubhalwa ulwimi lwesiHebhere, ababhali babebhala kuphela amaqabane—bengabhali zikhamiso.

The word itself means “shekel,” but the consonants also allow for the word “weighed.”
Eli gama lithetha “ishekele,” kodwa amaqabane alo akwavuma ukuba libe ligama elithi “ilinganisiwe.”

Additionally, they may be encouraged to prolong vowels and certain consonants.
Ukongezelela, basenokukhuthazwa ukuba bazitsale ezinye izikhamiso noonobumba.

Biblical Hebrew was originally written with only consonants, no vowels.
IsiHebhere esasisetyenziswa eBhayibhileni ngaphambili sasibhalwa ngamaqabane (consonants) kuphela, kungekho zikhamiso.
