Transliteration vs Translation

Transliteration is the process of changing the sounds of one language into another language using that other language's alphabet.

For example, βαπτίζω ("baptizo") in Greek, comes into English as the roughly-transliterated baptize. If it were translated instead of transliterated, it would come into English as immerse.

That's only background for this interesting tidbit that follows from http://www.ancient-hebrew.org/emagazine/046.html.

In the Greek manuscripts of the New Testament, which was originally written in Hebrew, we find that Hebrew words are both translated and transliterated into Greek. In Hebrews 10:5 the Greek word prosfora (prosphora, meaning offering) is the translation of the Hebrew word קרבן (korban, meaning offering). In Mark 7:11 the Greek word korban (korban) is the transliteration of the Hebrew word קרבן (korban, meaning offering).

The same word, translated in one instance, transliterated in the other. Interesting....
