Abstract

This research aims to analyze the difficulties faced by eighth-grade students at SMP Swasta Cinta Rakyat 2 Pematangsiantar in translating narrative texts from English into Bahasa Indonesia and to identify the strategies they use in the translation process. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method involving 17 students as participants. Data were collected through students’ translation tasks and analyzed based on Nida and Taber’s (1982) theory of translation difficulties and Mona Baker’s (1992) translation strategy framework. The findings reveal that students experienced linguistic difficulties particularly in vocabulary (100%), grammar (100%), and word choice (88.2%) while non-linguistic factors were not identified. Regarding translation strategies, students used six out of eight strategies proposed by Baker: translation by paraphrase using a related word (28.07%), omission (26.32%), paraphrase using an unrelated word (15.79%), more general word (14.04%), more neutral/less expressive word (12.28%), and loan word plus explanation (3.51%). The dominant strategy, translation by paraphrase using a related word, indicates students’ attempts to maintain meaning despite limited vocabulary mastery. The study concludes that insufficient linguistic competence, especially in vocabulary and grammar, remains the main obstacle in students’ translation performance.

Abstract

This study analyzes verb usage in ten Bible character stories designed for Sunday school children, with a specific focus on how various types of verbs contribute to narrative structure and character portrayal. Utilizing a qualitative research design, the study categorizes verbs into four types: transitive, intransitive, inchoative, and stative (e.g., "be"), and examines their distribution and narrative impact. The analysis reveals that intransitive verbs dominate, accounting for 55% of verb usage, thereby highlighting actions as independent events that emphasize the characters' journeys and experiences. Transitive verbs, which comprise 40% of the total usage, underscore interactions and relationships, reinforcing themes of obedience and purposeful action. The limited presence of inchoative and stative verbs suggests a reduced focus on state changes or existential reflections, thereby steering the narrative towards dynamic portrayals of the characters' faith journeys. Overall, this research provides valuable insights into how verb choices shape the storytelling experience and enhance the educational value of biblical narratives for children.
