   In John 1:42 and John 9:7, the present passive indicative form introduces an explanatory statement after Cephas and Siloam; the APB renders these clauses “which is translated Peter” and “which is interpreted "Sent".” In Hebrews 7:2, the present passive participle accompanies titles, and the APB renders “being interpreted king of righteousness” before the statement about king of Salem and king of peace.

In the Anselm Project Bible: The APB uses “translated” in John 1:42 and “interpreted” in John 9:7 and Hebrews 7:2. These renderings show the clauses' presentation rather than a precise word-for-word equivalence.
