Yes aad ji,

We are entering into the virgin land of semantics that in itsef is an interesting area of discussion.however, at present you seem to have snubbed me with your superior knowledge of language.
Let us look at the meaning of the two words as is given in the dictitionary that is in the right side Drawer of my writing Table. Let us see how it provides an interpretation. You may kindly go throw it.I am giving below the analysis of Awe and Fear.

awe
n.
1a mixed feeling of reverence, fear, and wonder, caused by something majestic, sublime, sacred, etc.
2[Archaic] the power of inspiring intense fear or fearful reverence
3[Obs.] terror; dread
vt.
awed, aw#[ing to inspire awe in; fill with awe
stand (or be) in awe of to respect and fear

SYN.—awe refers to a feeling of fearful or profound respect or wonder inspired by the greatness, superiority, grandeur, etc. of a person or thing and suggests an immobilizing effect; reverence is applied to a feeling of deep respect mingled with love for something one holds sacred or inviolable and suggests a display of homage, deference, etc.; veneration implies worshipful reverence for a person or thing regarded as hallowed or sacred and specifically suggests acts of religious devotion; dread, as it comes into comparison here, suggests extreme fear mixed with awe or reverence [a dread of divine retribution]


fear
n.
1a feeling of anxiety and agitation caused by the presence or nearness of danger, evil, pain, etc.; timidity; dread; terror; fright; apprehension
2respectful dread; awe; reverence
3a feeling of uneasiness or apprehension; concern !a fear that it will rain"
4a cause for fear; possibility; chance !there was no fear of difficulty"
vt.
1[Obs.] to fill with fear; frighten
2to be afraid of; dread
3to feel reverence or awe for
4to expect with misgiving; suspect !I fear I am late"
vi.
1to feel fear; be afraid
2to be uneasy, anxious, or doubtful for fear of in order to avoid or prevent


SYN.—fear is the general term for the anxiety and agitation felt at the presence of danger; dread refers to the fear or depression felt in anticipating something dangerous or disagreeable [to live in dread of poverty]; fright applies to a sudden, shocking, usually momentary fear [the mouse gave her a fright]; alarm implies the fright felt at the sudden realization of danger [he felt alarm at the sight of the pistol]; terror applies to an overwhelming, often paralyzing fear [the terror of soldiers in combat]; panic refers to a frantic, unreasoning fear, often one that spreads quickly and leads to irrational, aimless action [the cry of “fire!” created a panic]

Fear looks to be slightly inferior as compared to awe inso far as it generates lower feelings like anxiety, agitation. Awe gives some room for a feeling of fearful or profound respect or wonder inspired by the greatness, superiority, grandeur, etc. of a person or thing and suggests an immobilizing effect.

The chances are that I would be only 50 percent with you till I have understood the meaning Of both the words and its implications in the context. One reason the Fear is used in Translations is that it is fairly simple meaning word.
