Abstract
English: The purpose of the article is to indicate the ideological dominance of the Afrikaans
target culture in Afrikaans Bible translations. This is measured by the way in which
the Ancient Near Eastern and Ancient Mediterranean cultures of the source texts are
domesticated. An analysis of nine Afrikaans Bible translations is provided in terms
of commission and intention of the translation, the translation process (translator,
source text, work method, translation method), and product of the translation. It is
shown that the trend is to create translations that read fluently, i.e. the appearance
that the translation is not in fact a translation, but the original.
