Jesus in Chinese / Japanese...

イエス is the name Jesus in Japanese.

This version is used most often when talking about Jesus the Christ.

Note: Because this title is entirely Japanese Katakana, it should be written by a Japanese calligrapher.

This is simply the name “Jesus” transliterated into Chinese. 耶穌 hold a pronunciation in Mandarin that is closer to the real and original Hebrew Yeshua, instead of the incorrect way we have always pronounced Jesus in English with a hard “J” sound. While this name sounds like the real “Jesus” in Chinese, Christians in China are more likely to say “Christ” (Jidu) which holds more meaning than just sound.

If you are Latino and have been given the name “Jesus,” this is also how to write your name in Chinese.

ジーザス is the name Jesus in Japanese.

This is a common version that approximates pronunciation in English. However, there are many variations for writing Jesus in Japanese, and it's hard to come up with an absolute answer (transliteration of names is more art than science).

イエズス is the name Jesus in Japanese.

This is from the more Latin / Spanish pronunciation (without the hard “J” sound at the beginning).

耶穌拯救 means “Jesus saves” in Mandarin Chinese.

耶穌是主 means “Jesus is Lord” in Chinese.

耶穌基督 is the full version, with the name “Jesus” being the first two characters and the meaning of “Christ” as the last two.

You can't get more specific than this when referring to the Messiah.

耶穌基督是愛 means Jesus Christ is Love in Mandarin Chinese.

耶穌是我的生命 means Jesus is my life in Chinese.

The first two characters are a transliteration of the name Jesus into Mandarin Chinese.
The third character means, is.

The fourth and fifth mean my or mine.

The last two characters mean life, as in lifespan, or from birth to death.

This is not a common phrase for Chinese Christians, but this is the best way to translate this idea from English to Mandarin Chinese.

イエスキリストは私の救い主です is a Japanese phrase that means “Jesus Christ is my savior.”

基督 is how to write “Christ” in Chinese characters, Korean Hanja, and Japanese Kanji.

This is the word used in the Chinese Union Bible (the only readily-available translation of the Bible into Chinese that I know of - published about 100 years ago). For Chinese Christians, this is the most common way to refer to Jesus Christ.

This is also the way that “Christ” is written in Japanese. But since the Japanese language is very flexible about the sounds that can be assigned to various Kanji, these characters have been assigned a pronunciation that sounds a lot like “Christ” or actually closer to the original “Christos.” In Japanese (if you don't know how the Romaji shown above in the gray box works), it sounds like “key ree sue toe” using English words/sounds. Say those four words fast, and you'll get it.
It should be noted that only Japanese Christians will be familiar with this word.

This is best defined, read, and understood with the characters together, but if you take this word for Christ apart, the first character means “fundamentals” or “foundation.” The second character can mean “leader” or “boss.”
