θριαμβεύω

Strong’s: G2358

Associated OET lemmas: θριαμβεύω

Form 1

Part of speech: verb

Sense 1: to triumph over, to be completely victorious over

Semantic entry: 39.59

Semantic domains: Hostility, Strife

Subdomains: Conquer

Definition: (a figurative extension of meaning of θριαμβεύω ‘to lead prisoners of war in a victory procession,’ not occurring in the NT) to demonstrate one’s successful conquest of opposition

Notes: Since the leading of prisoners of war in a victory procession is at the present time a relatively rare cultural phenomenon, it may be impossible to employ such a literal rendering of θριαμβεύω. One may, however, wish to employ a marginal note to indicate the background meaning of θριαμβεύω in this context.

OET-RV COL 2:15

15 He had disarmed the rulers and authorities and publicly exposed them, because he had won the victory over them on the post.

OET-LV COL 2:15

15 having_disarmed the rulers and the authorities, he_exposed them in public, having_triumphed over_them in him.

Sense 2: to cause to triumph

Semantic entry: 39.60

Semantic domains: Hostility, Strife

Subdomains: Conquer

Definition: to cause someone to completely triumph over

Notes: In a number of languages it is difficult to speak of triumphing without indicating the goal of such an event, but in RV CO2 2:14 · LV CO2 2:14 · Read together CO2 2:14 there is no specified object over which triumph occurs. It is possible to introduce Satan as the one over whom the believer is victorious (see RV CO2 2:11 · LV CO2 2:11 · Read together CO2 2:11). However, it is also possible to understand θριαμβεύω in RV CO2 2:14 · LV CO2 2:14 · Read together CO2 2:14 as being essentially similar in meaning to θριαμβεύω[a] (39.59: θριαμβεύω) and thus to translate RV CO2 2:14 · LV CO2 2:14 · Read together CO2 2:14 as ‘for in union with Christ we are always led by God as prisoners in Christ’s victorious procession.’
