Samu János megjegyzése kapcsán (miszerint nem "her", hanem "his" soul) - Igaz ugyan, hogy apáca életrajzáról van szó, de hogy a kérdéses idézetben Isten kinek a lelkét vette magához, azt csak Sára tudja biztosan. Az utólag hozzátett javaslatomban a hímnemű személyes névmás természetesen nem az apácára utal, hanem egy Bibliai idézet részlete, amelynek szövegkörnyezete az alábbi:
[10] There was one who pleased God and was loved by him,
and while living among sinners he was taken up.
[11] He was caught up lest evil change his understanding
or guile deceive his soul.
[12] For the fascination of wickedness obscures what is good,
and roving desire perverts the innocent mind.
[13] Being perfected in a short time, he fulfilled long years;
[14] for his soul was pleasing to the Lord,
therefore he took him quickly from the midst of wickedness."

agree  Katalin Horváth McClure: A kérdezett mondatba szerintem a "the Lord called her home" illik a legjobban.

neutral  Andras Mohay (X): Ezek egyike sem passzol ide. A kép az Assumptio ~ Ανάληψις

agree  Jim Tucker (X): "The Lord called her home" was my first reaction.
15 hrs
neutral  Ildiko Santana: Igen, ezek is szerepelnek a válaszomban megosztott gyűjteményben, csakhogy a "taken"/"took" megoldás sztem közelebb áll az eredeti "magához vette" alakhoz, mint a "called" (magához szólította), a "went" pedig figyelmen kívül hagyja az isteni beavatkozást.

was brought into the Kindgom of Heaven


Explanation:
A "magához vette" kifejezésben van valami magasztos, hasonlóképpen a "kingdom of heaven" kifejezésben is, így ezt a formát mindenképpen ajánlom.
Ezen kívül a "brought into the Kindgom of Heaven" kifejezésre majdnem 900 ezer találat is van, így autentikusnak tekinthető.
