What is the translation of yoshua in Judaism?

Answer by  patti (29325)

Judaism is not a language; it is a religion. The language is Judaism is Hebrew. "Yoshua" is the phonetic Hebrew spelling of "Joshua."

In English, this is the name "Joshua". The Greek form of the name is represented in English as "Jesus." This name has two parts, the first meaning "Yahweh" or (more commonly in English) "Jehovah" and the second meaning "salvation." So the translation is "Yahweh (or Jehovah) is salvation."

If you mean "Yoshua" in Hebrew, then the stem yud-shin-ain means "save", "liberate". Joshua the son of Nun is, however, spelled in Hebrew as יְהוֹשֻׁעַ combining the meaning of salvation/liberation with the reference to God.
