         Glosses: to deny

         Comments: In translating ἀρνέομαι[a] and ἀπαρνέομαι[a], one can often use an equivalent phrase such as ‘to say that one does not know’ or ‘to say that one has nothing to do with.’|In denying an event, as in {S:04200804500018}, it may be possible to translate ‘but they all said they knew nothing about it.’ It is also possible to deny having done something, and therefore one may translate the response in {S:04200804500018} as ‘but they all said that they did not do it’ or ‘… that they did not touch him.’

         Glosses: to deny

         Comments: In a number of languages one may best translate ‘deny’ as ‘to make manifest not to know.’ Accordingly, one may translate the first part of {S:04201200900006} as ‘whoever shows people that he does not know me’ or ‘whoever refuses to admit that he does know me.’ Denial need not involve some verbal formulation, though in some languages this is the most common practice. See also {D:33.277}.

         Glosses: ['to disregard', 'to pay no attention to', 'to say No to']

         Comments: There are a number of problems involved in rendering appropriately ἀρνέομαι[d] and ἀπαρνέομαι[b] as in {S:04200902300022} and {S:04100803400034}.|In a number of languages it simply makes no sense to translate ‘to say No to oneself,’ nor is it possible in many instances to use an expression such as ‘to deny oneself,’ since it almost always implies to deny oneself something. Sometimes the meaning may be expressed in a figurative or idiomatic manner, for example, ‘to refuse to pay attention to what one’s own desires are saying’ or ‘to refuse to think about what one just wants for oneself.’ In certain instances other kinds of idioms may be employed, for example, ‘to put oneself at the end of the line’ or even ‘to say to one’s heart, Keep quiet.’

         DefinitionShort: to behave in a way which is untrue to one’s real self, in a sense of denying certain valid aspects of one’s personality

         Glosses: ['to be false to oneself', 'to be untrue to oneself']

         Comments: It is possible in some languages to translate ‘he cannot be false to himself’ in {S:05500201300012} as ‘he cannot be different from what he really is’ or ‘he cannot be otherwise than good.’
