Well - it is an English word so would not be pronounced in Spanish. - ian-hill, Nov 11, 2011

Answer 1

I agree that it shouldn't be pronounced in English, but if you're asking for a translation, behold means "he aquí."

Answer 2

The Spanish dictionary on this site has Mirar as the verb but it has to be conjugated into the imperative form. So that gives you these options:

• Mira for informal singular

• Mire for formal singular

• Miren for both formal & informal plural

• Mirad for informal plural (vosotros)

"Mirar" means "to watch" or "to look (at)" which is basically how "Behold!" is used; that is, it's interchangeable with "Look!", "Watch!", "Hear!", "Recognize!", etc etc...

Hope this helps. ---
