Ang Mangangaral
The Preacher
From the book of Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament
Ang mga salita ng Mangangaral, na anak ni David, hari sa Jerusalem.
The words of the Preacher, the son of David, king in Jerusalem.
The title Ecclesiastes is a Latin transliteration of the Greek translation of the Hebrew Kohelet, the pseudonym used by the author of the book.
That is why the Book of Ecclesiastes is referred to as Ang Mangangaral in many translations of the Bible into Tagalog.
