Summary/Abstract: The contemporary translation strategies concerning equivalents of names from the field in translations of the New Testament actualise the conclusions drawn by researchers, who confront the nominations that are in use in the Polish language with their perceptions by those in question, that is black people. A response to a certain depreciation of the semantics of the lexemes Murzyn, Czarny (when used as nouns) is the selection of a safer strategy, which consists in transferring the adapted form from the source text (Etiop, Etiopczyk, Królowa etiopska, Niger).
