In the Anselm Project Bible: Across the supplied verses, the APB commonly presents the noun with “youth,” “youths,” or “young men,” especially when the group is contrasted with virgins, children, or elders. Because the APB translates whole verses rather than aligning individual words, those English expressions indicate the verse-level presentation rather than a fixed one-to-one rendering.
