Abstract
The first part of this study (TBT 72[1]: 50–60) reviewed the history of the rendering of the key term יהוה YHWH in Bible translations into Dholuo (spoken in southwestern Kenya and northwestern Tanzania). This second part considers the translation of this key term within the context of modern Dholuo language and culture. The different renderings in two existing translations are analyzed and put in the broader perspective of Bible translation in Africa. Finally, the paper proposes a rendering for יהוה that does justice to the Dholuo culture and tradition, while maintaining the specific characteristics that are present in the source text.
