he/she who is merciful


Explanation:
Tek başına alındığında birden çok karşılık uygun olmakla birlikte, bağlam içinde değerlendirildiğinde "he/she who is merciful" en uygunu olur, fikrimce. Şöyle bir çeviri olabilir örneğin:

"He/She who is merciful is gentle,
He/she who is merciful is gracious"

Şurada benzer bir kullanım var:

"He who is brave is free." -Seneca (http://thinkexist.com/quotation/he_who_is_brave_is_free/1473...

big-hearted


Explanation:
'merciful' kelimesi daha çok tanrısal bir göndermede kullanılıyor. Mesela,

- Rahmân ve Rahîm olan Allah'ın adıyla

- In the Name of God, Merciful to all, Compassionate to each.

a merciful person


Explanation:
Ben "the, he, she" gibi zamirlerin kullanılmaması gerektiğini düşünüyorum, zira burada belli bir grup, sadece kadınlar veya sadece erkekler kastedilmiyor... İngilizce'de "politically correct" olmak için de "he/she"'den kaçınmak gerekiyor...
Bana göre "merhametli olan insan nazik olur" diyor... Bu nedenle "A merciful person is (also) a gentle person" gibi bir çeviri uygun olur düşüncesindeyim.
