dbo:abstract
  • Olorun és el governant dels Cels. Forma part de la tríada que compon les tres facetes del Déu Suprem del panteó ioruba: Olodumare, el Creador; Olorun, governant dels cels; i Olofi, qui és el conduït entre Orún (Cel) i Ayé (Terra). Històricament, els ioruba no han adorat Olorun de manera directa, ni han dedicant al seu culte espais sagrats, sacrificis o sacerdots. Es tracta d'una deïtat llunyana, distant, i no pren part en els rituals humans. Les tradicions ioruba no tenen una autoritat centralitzada. Aquest fet, juntament amb la difusió provocada per l'esclavitud a Amèrica, ha duit a que es creïn diferents cultes i, per tant, diferents maneres d'entendre la idea d'Olorun i el culte als orisha.

  • Olorun (Olódùmarè, Odumare, Olófi) ist in der Religion der Yoruba der Schöpfer der Ashé und der Orishas. Er ist ohne ein bestimmtes Geschlecht. Er ist zusammen mit den Orishas und den Ahnen (égún) im Himmel (òrun), aber nur die Orishas Obatala und Ellegua kennen seinen „Aufenthaltsort“. Er hat mehrere Aspekte. Olofi ist derjenige Aspekt, der noch von Menschen über Orishas erreicht werden kann. Aber er ist weit entfernt von den Problemen des Alltags. Olódùmarè kommen keine Opfergaben zu, auch weihen sich ihm keine Priester. (de)
  • Olorun es una de las manifestaciones del Dios supremo de la religión yoruba Olodumare. Olorun etimológicamente significa òlò, Señor, y Òrún, cielo; es decir, Señor del cielo o del Más Allá. (es)
  • Olorun (Yoruba alphabet: Ọlọrun) is the ruler of (or in) the Heavens in the Yoruba religion. The Supreme God or Supreme Being in the Yoruba pantheon, Olorun is also called Olodumare (Yoruba alphabet: Olódùmarè). Humans do not worship Olorun directly; there are no sacred areas of worship, no iconography, nor ordained person. Olorun is outlying, distant, and does not partake in human rituals. There are no shrines or sacrifices dedicated directly to them, although followers can send prayers in their direction. Olorun has no gender in the Ifá Literary Corpus, and is always referred to as an entity who exists in spiritual form only. Christian missionaries, such as Bolaji Idowu, aimed to reinterpret traditional Yoruba culture as consistent with Christian theology as a way of pushing conversion. The first translation of the Bible into Yoruba in the late 1800s by Samuel Ajayi Crowther controversially adopted traditional Yoruba names, such as "Olodumare/Olorun" for "God" and "Eshu" for the devil, and thus began incorrectly associating Olorun with a male gender. For Yoruba traditions, there is no centralized authority; because of this, there are many different ways that Yoruba people and their descendants or orisa-based faiths can understand the idea of Olorun. Historically, the Yoruba worship Olorun through the agency of the orisa; thus there is no image, shrine or sacrifice made directly towards Olorun. There is some controversy about whether Olodumare is directly worshiped, due to their aloofness from humanity. However, there are those who also worship Olodumare directly. Olodumare is the origin of virtue and mortality, and bestows the knowledge of things upon all persons when they are born. They are omnipotent, transcendent, unique, all knowing, good, and evil. The Yoruba call on Olodumare when other deities (orishas) seem unwilling or incapable to help. These orisa or orishas are supernatural beings, both good (egungun) and bad (ajogun), who represent human activity and natural forces. Yoruba believe Olodumare created all other forces of the universe to help continue the evolution of the universe. Olofi or Olofin is the name given to one of the three manifestations of the Supreme God in the yoruba religion. Olofi is the ruler of the Earth. The Supreme God has three manifestations: Olodumare, the Creator; Olorun, ruler of the heavens; and Olofi, who is the conduit between Orún (Heaven) and Ayé (Earth). (en)
