אֶמֶת ʼemeth · H571 · faithfulness, reliability, trustworthiness: Hebrew אֱמֶת ('emet) is the most common Hebrew word for 'truth' and 'certainty,' semantically overlapping with Aramaic יַצִּיב in denoting reliability and truthfulness. Both express the quality of being firm, established, and trustworthy, though אֱמֶת is from the root אמן while יַצִּיב is from יצב.

ἀληθής alēthḗs · G227 · true, truth, real: Greek adjective ἀληθής (alēthēs) is the standard LXX and NT equivalent for Hebrew words denoting 'true' or 'certain,' representing the same semantic domain of truth and reliability. The Aramaic יַצִּיב in Daniel expresses certainty/truth of dream interpretations and divine decrees, which LXX translates with forms of ἀληθής and related terms.
ἀλήθεια alḗtheia · G225 · truth, actually, really: Greek noun ἀλήθεια (alētheia) 'truth' is the standard substantive equivalent for Aramaic terms denoting 'truth' or 'certainty,' used throughout LXX and NT to translate Hebrew/Aramaic truth vocabulary. יַצִּיב as a noun meaning 'certainty, truth' would naturally be rendered by ἀλήθεια.
