SIBI-P1 Translation G4374-15
Bring forward!
| Morphological Notes | Verb; present tense (imperfective/ongoing aspect), active voice, imperative mood, 2nd person singular — a command to one person to carry or present something toward another. |
| Rendering Rationale | "Bring forward!" preserves the directional force of πρός (toward) combined with φέρω (to bear/carry), expressing active movement toward someone or something. The present active imperative, 2nd person singular, is reflected as a direct ongoing command addressed to one person. |
