Some are fervently religious and say they still want to *die a martyr's death* in a holy war.

To die doing any one of these is to *die a martyr's death* (*mati syahid*).

agree  Vincentius Mariatmo: Tadinya pingin cari jawaban lain yang lebih baik, tapi ini tercatat pada kamus "An English-Indonesian Dictionary / by John M. Echols and Hassan Shadily" di halaman 181 :D Alternatif jawaban dari Regi cukup baik juga :D

agree  Eddie R. Notowidigdo: Mgn Martyr semua benar, tetapi dalam konteks ini usulan Uda Hipyan rasanya yg paling tepat. Indak sio-sio! (Whatever that may mean, LOL)

agree  yam2u: based on context, i too think this is the most appropriate answer. or alternatively, "are/were martyred".

be a martyr (be martyrs)


Explanation:
Beberapa contoh pemakaian martyr(s):

"I am so proud of my husband. I am happy that Allah has granted you the chance to be a martyr.

Muslim cleric urges children to be martyrs.

Hundred of thousands ready to become martyrs.

Di sini kata Indonesia "mati" tidak harus diterjemahkan, karena martyr sendiri sudah memuat makna "mati" yang spesifik.

Yang dimasukkan Bang Hipyan, "die a martyr's death", ternyata juga bagus -- bergaya bahasa. Tapi kalau yang mati orang banyak (plural), bagaimana ya?
