### Examples of Translation Strategies Applied
1. Put the information that introduces the event in the order that your people put it.

1. If readers would expect certain information but it is not in the Bible, consider using an indefinite word or phrase such as: another time, someone.
* **Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.** (Genesis 7:6 ULB)
If people expect to be told something about when the new event happened, the phrase "after that" can help them see that it happened after the events already mentioned.
* <u>After that</u>, when Noah was six hundred years old, the flood came upon the earth.
* **<u>Again he began</u> to teach beside the lake.** (Mark 4:1 ULB)
In chapter 3 Jesus was teaching at someone's house. Readers may need to be told that this new event happened at another time, or that Jesus actually went to the lake.

1. If the introduction is a summary of the whole event, use your language's way of showing that it is a summary.
* **Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth.** (Genesis 7:6 ULB)
* <u>Now this is what happened when</u> Noah was six hundred years old and the flood came upon the earth.
* <u>This part tells about what happened when</u> the flood came upon the earth. It happened when Noah was six hundred years old.
* <u>This part tells about what happened when</u> the flood came upon the earth. It happened when Noah was six hundred years old.
1. If it would be strange in the target language to give a summary of the event at the beginning, show that the event would actually happen later in the story.
* **Noah was six hundred years old when the flood came upon the earth. Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ark together because of the waters of the flood.** (Genesis 7:6-7 ULB)
* <u>Now this is what happened when</u> Noah was six hundred years old. Noah, his sons, his wife, and his sons' wives went into the ark together because <u>God had said that the waters of the flood would come</u>.
