Do you know if any of these other languages use a different word for the "article" and the "pronoun" as we do in English? If any of them do, I was just curious what nuance they gave TON in their language.

C'est par la foi qu'Abraham offrit Isaac, lorsqu'il fut mis à l'épreuve, et qu'il offrit son fils unique, lui qui avait reçu les promesses, 

Louis Segond


באמונה היה מעלה אברהם את־יצחק כאשר נסה ואת־יחידו יקריב המקבל את־ההבטחות׃ 

The hebrew used yahid who used to express the uniqueness of the children.

Per fede Abramo, quando fu provato, offerse Isacco; ed egli, che avea ricevuto le promesse, offerse il suounigenito: 
Riveduta Luzzi

The Italian version used, following the Vulgata, a unigenito who means only-begotten, only-generated.

Por fe ofreció Abraham á Isaac cuando fué probado, y ofrecía al unigénito el que había recibido las promesas,
Rena Valera


jerom privede Avraam Isaka kad bi kušan, i jedinorodnoga prinošaše, pošto bješe primio obećanje, 

Serbian Danicic Karazdzic

Here the equivalent of only-begotten, only-generated is used. 


Aufgrund des Glaubens war Abraham bereit, Isaak zu opfern, als Gott ihn auf die Probe stellte. Abraham, der die Verheißung Gottes empfangen hatte, war bereit, seineneinzigen Sohn zu opfern, 

Neue Evangelitische Übertratung

Here as in french translation, the word expresses the uniqueness of Isaac.


آری این مرد که وعده های خدا را پذیرفته بود حاضر شد یگانه فرزند خود را به خدا تقدیم کند
.
مژده برای عصر جدید

Here the persian used the construction yeganeh farzand who is similar to only-generated, but the Persian versions are influenced by the English ones.

Postscript to my last email –  I searched and found Wycliffe  translated TOV MONOGENHS  as “the only begotten.” It would be interesting to know how it is translated in languages other than English.
