Description: Eugene Peterson, translator and editor, set out to give us that word in language we use every day, a reading Bible that would enable the Word to penetrate our hearts and minds, transforming us day by day into the person God desires us to become.

Updating the NIV for 2011

The chief goal of every revision to the NIV text is to bring the translation into line both with contemporary biblical scholarship and with shifts in English idiom and usage. In 1984, various corrections and revisions to the NIV text were made. A lengthy revision process was completed in 2005, resulting in the separately published Today’s New International Version (TNIV). This updated NIV builds on both the original NIV and the TNIV and represents the latest effort of the Committee on Bible Translation (CBT) to articulate God’s unchanging Word in the way the original authors might have said it if they had been speaking in English to the global English-speaking audience today.

The version for theWord includes more than 100,000 cross-references and closely follows the printed format, including poetry indentation, paragraphs and passage headings and translator's footnotes. Read more and see samples at the product page.

Anderson, H. T. Anderson's 1865 New Testament (Anderson)		0.4 MB	19-Aug-2014
Author(s): Anderson, H. T. Module version: 1.0 Description: To all Lovers of Truth, the Author dedicates his Translation of the New Testament. The Author saw, very early in life, that a translation of the New Testament was necessary. He began his investigations at the age of twenty-one, and has faithfully studied the Original since that time. He has made his translation without reference to any version; that is, he adopted no version as a basis. His work is not disposed to be trammeled by any version, but desired to find the truth of God, as it is contained in the Original. The truth thus found, he has endeavored to express in the English language as now spoken. He has been careful to express the exact sense of the Original, without permitting himself to be confined to an imitation of the letter of the Greek. In revising his work, he re-examined the common version, and whatever that version has expressed the sense of the Original in good English, he has adopted it. In this way he has, as he hopes, embodied all the excellencies of that version, and avoided its errors. The author takes pleasure in acknowledging himself largely indebted, for the English dress of the Translation, to his friend, and brother in Christ, John Augustus Williams, of Harrodsburg, Kentucky. The work has been carried on under many adverse circumstances; but, by the good providence of God, it has been completed. May it go forth, under the Divine blessing, to establish and comfort the hearts of those who love the Truth. H. T. ANDERSON. HARRODSBURG, KY., March, 1864.

A Faithful Version

Why This Unique Bible?

The Holy Bible In Its Original Order is an extraordinary Bible—unique in two ways. First, it is the only complete Bible ever published in a single volume that accurately follows the original God-inspired manuscript order of all the books of the Old and New Testaments—making it the “Original Bible Restored.” In addition, once the original order of the 49 biblical books has been restored, the Seven Divisions of the Bible are also re-established: The Old Testament contains: 1) The Law, 2) The Prophets, and 3) The Writings. The New Testament contains: 4) The Gospels and Acts, 5) The General Epistles, 6) The Epistles of Paul, and 7) The Book of Revelation. With this restoration, God’s purposeful design of the Scriptures begins to unfold, revealing His divine inspiration.
As the apostle Paul wrote, “All Scripture is God-breathed”—and thus reflects the mind of Almighty God, Creator of heaven and earth. It is the truth of God from the God of Truth, Who cannot lie; it is His personal revelation to mankind—the pinnacle of His creation—whom He made in His own image. From Genesis to Revelation, God reveals His awesome, eternal plan and purpose to those who love and obey Him.
Second, this version is a new translation—A Faithful Version—that reflects the true meaning of the original Hebrew and Greek with fidelity and word for word accuracy, showing the unity of Scripture between the Old and New Testaments. Today, in the face of rampant religious confusion, those who read and study the English Bible deserve a quality translation that can be trusted. Most importantly, hundreds of errors of the KJV have been corrected. Thus, making this Bible the most accurate English translation to date. Reviewer Dan Decker of Bible Editions and Versions (January 2009) writes of this Faithful Version: “It is an excellent translation for those desiring a literal one…. We heartily recommend this fine translation.”

Godbey, W. B Godbey New Testament, The (Godbey)		0.4 MB	19-Aug-2014
Author(s): Godbey, W. B Module version: 1.0 Description: Translated from the original Greek. DEDICATION. To the Holiness People in all lands, regardless of nationality, race, color, sect, or creed, we lovingly and joyfully dedicate this translation, along with the nineteen books which have preceded it, all telling people how to be saved and to save others. W. B. GODBEY. 1902 PROLOGUE. I GRADUATED from College in 1859. The same year is quite memorable in the history of Biblical criticism in the discovery of the Sinaic Manuscript in the convent of St. Catherine, on that notable mountain, by Dr. Tischendorf, the learned German critic, after spending forty years searching through Bible lands for everything competent to throw light on the blessed Scriptures, which suffered so much interpolation and omission, especially during the Dark Ages, when not one man in a thousand could read or write and the world was filled with violence and beclouded with ignorance and superstition, with no cessation of the flowing blood and consuming fires, which everywhere hounded the saints of God to martyrdom and heaven. Very soon after this glorious discovery the Lord permitted a copy of the critical Greek Testament, founded on the Sinaic manuscript, by Tischendorf, to reach me. I have been reading it ever since. I suppose it has never been published out of Germany. Since the death of Tischendorf, Westcott and Hort have published his Testament under their own names. I have been reading the New Testament in Greek more than forty years; during the last twenty-five years making no use of any other. When Bishop McTyeire, in 1884, put me in the evangelistic work, I soon found myself in great camp-meetings in the summer and the cities in the winter, surrounded by the Lord's people of all denominations, listening, spellbound, to the exposition of the Scriptures from the original Greek. Soon they began to solicit me to translate the beautiful, inspired original into the plain diction of the current English, giving them the benefit of my opportunities to understand the real meaning of the precious Word. More than twenty years I waived these solicitations, feeling my unworthiness and shrinking from the responsibility. Finally the pressure seemed to become irresistible. From ocean to ocean my daily Bible readings were vocal with importunate clamors for me to translate the blessed Word. This is my only apology in the case. The matter reached a climax where I feared to resist lest I might grieve the Holy Spirit, and after all the maxim "Vox populi, vox Dei, — the voice of the people, the voice of God," might turn out to be true, and I would make a sad mistake by neglecting an opportunity to glorify Him. I. Let me here say, once for all, I have neither the desire nor the expectation that this translation shall supersede your good Old English Bible; but, like the Revised Version and other translations, help you to understand it. It is said that two thousand mistakes have been found in the English Version, of which nine hundred and four are corrected in the Revised Version. These errors, in the vast majority, are of no importance; and really none of them affect any cardinal truth of God's Word. These errors are divisible into two general classes; i.e., the omissions and the interpolations, of which the latter are by far the more important. 2. THE OMISSION. The tendency on the part of transcribers during the intervening ages has never been to omissions, but to interpolations. 1Thess. 4:1 "Therefore, brethren, finally let us beseech and exhort you through the Lord Jesus, that as you receive from us how it behooves you to walk about and please God, as you do also walk, in order that you may abound more and more." In this verse, in some way the important clause, "as you do also walk," was dropped out, and does not appear in the English Version, but was restored in the Revised Version. It is of infinite value, as it settles the controversy in reference to the Thessalonians, establishing the fact that they were not in a backslidden state, but well up in justification when they got sanctified. 1Peter 2:2 "As newly born babes desire the pure milk of the Word, that they may grow thereby unto salvation." In this verse eis sooteerian was omitted by some careless transcribe!-. It is very important, showing up the fact that even after entire sanctification, follows the growth period, developing into the final salvation of glorification. 3. INTERPOLATION. N. B. — In the following translation none of the interpolations will appear. They are all given in the Revised Version, and marked as interpolations. As I have nothing before me but the inspired original, which is precisely what the Lord gave us, I do not feel that He wants me to give you anything else. The translators of the Revised Version followed the Sinaic Greek, by Tischendorf, as I do, which contains none of the errors. Consequently they did not get them out of the original Greek, which they followed, but copied them from the English Version, retaining them by way of accommodation to the readers. I proceed now to notice a few of the most prominent interpolations; as you must remember that we will not give any of them in the following translations, as I feel the Lord wants me to give you His Word and nothing else. a. The largest interpolation is found in Mark 16:9-20, including twelve verses, at the conclusion of this Gospel, which winds up with the eighth verse. Of course no one knows who wrote these twelve verses. It is certain Mark never wrote them, as they do not appear in his Gospel. Besides they have internal evidence against the authorship of Mark, containing seventeen words which do not elsewhere appear in Mark's Gospel. Again, Mark is a very plain writer, this is turgid and grandiloquent. Some think that the martyrdom of Peter, who is said to have dictated Mark's Gospel, stopped it abruptly at verse 8, and some other person finished it. Others have supposed that the death of Mark produced the cessation. You observe, upon a brief analysis, that this interpolation contains nothing which is not repeatedly given in other Scriptures, except the drinking of poison and handling serpents, which you will doubtless feel relieved to think are no part of the inspired Word. b. John 8:1-11, does not appear in the original. It contains nothing but the account of the adulterous woman, and was doubtless inserted by a corrupt clergy after the apostasy of the Church, by way of apology for sin. c. Acts 8:37. This verse, containing the eunuch's confession, is not in the original. It so happens that we know how it originated. Erasmus, a learned contemporary of Martin Luther, while transcribing the Greek Testament, studying over it, concluded that the connection required a confession here. Consequently, supposing some careless transcriber had left it out, he composed that verse according to his own godly judgment and inserted it. The subsequent discovery of older manuscripts, none of which contained it, established the fact that the good man was mistaken and it was no part of the original. d. Acts 15:34, which simply states that "Silas remained," is not in the original. When Silas and Judas, who were sent by the Jerusalem council along with Barnabas and Paul, to carry the apostolical decrees to Antioch, and verse 33, "And having spent the time, they were sent away with peace, by the brethren, to those who sent them." Now the simple fact is, that the narrative goes on to speak of Paul and Barnabas separating, and going out in two evangelistic bands instead of one; some transcribers concluded because Silas went away with Paul on that great tour into Europe, that he did not return to Jerusalem with Judas, bearing the report to the apostles. Hence the interpolator ventured to improve the Scripture, as he thought, by stating that "Silas remained." The solution of the matter is, Paul delayed at Corinth till Silas had time to go to Jerusalem and return. e. 1John 5:7. "For there are three that bear witness in heaven: the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost." This verse is not in the original. Of course it is true. We are not making inquiry about what is true and in harmony with the Scriptures; but what is Scripture. This verse contains the three heavenly witnesses. There is no doubt but it was invented and inserted by the Trinitarians, during the great controversy with the Arians, in order to sustain the Bible doctrine of the Trinity. They made a mistake, as we have no right to add anything to the Bible, even to sustain the most important truth. God made the Bible, and put everything in it which ought to be there. This is one case where sectarian zeal went too far, and added a verse to the Bible. f. 1Thess. 4:3. "For this is the will of God, your sanctification." The English Version says "even" your sanctification, inserting an adverb of surprise, as if sanctification was not for everybody, but only a favorite saint here and there. g. 1Cor. 13:5. "Divine love is not provoked." The English Version here has the adverb "easily," which is not in the original. It is said that the translators inserted that word to save the Christian character of King James, who had a very high temper. You see it softens that which God made hard, and smoothes that which God made rough; thus letting down God's standard of Christianity to the level of human infirmity. We might pursue this catalogue of interpolations more extensively, but this is enough to illustrate the matter. Suffice it to say that when you want the errors which occur so frequently in the English Version, you will have to go thither and read them; as in the following translation we do not feel that the Lord wants us to devote any time to them. We have enough to do to translate His precious Word. 4. I am well apprised that some good, honest people will censure me, and, perhaps, severely, for violating the last solemn warning that God gave us in the Bible, Rev. 22:18, 19, in which terrible woes are pronounced on the man who adds to the Word or takes from it. Of course, all of these criticisms will simply come by the way of ignorance. Many people are so ignorant that they actually look upon the English Bible as the original, and think every conceivable deflection from it to involve the party in the awful guilt of "adding to" or "taking from" God's Word. N. B. — Your Bible was all written by infallible inspiration, in languages unknown to the English-speaking millions of this continent and the British Empire. Therefore the people are dependent on translators to bring the Scripture within the sphere of their investigation. The English Version was translated in 1611, almost three hundred years ago. Consequently the language has undergone many changes, actually doubling its vocabulary in this time; besides many words have become obsolete, and others have turned a literal summersault, reversing their meaning. I believe, by the help of the blessed Holy Spirit, that we will, in the good providence of God, give you the plainest, most literal and luminous translation there is in print. We are living in the last days, when the battle with sin and Satan is waxing hot, and in this eleventh-hour movement of the gospel dispensation, we no longer need preachers by dozens, scores, hundreds, and thousands, but by millions, to flood the heathen world with light, truth, and holiness, and inundate the globe with salvation. In this translation I respond to the clamor of the thousands who, from the Atlantic to the Pacific, have heard the translation and exposition of the New Testament, and in whose ears the bells of heaven are ringing and the bugle notes sounding, calling them to the front to preach the everlasting gospel, evangelize the globe, and hasten the coming of the Lord. As they will never read the Greek we are doing our utmost to bring it to them in the beautiful, copious, and versatile English language.

Haweis, Thomas Haweis, A Translation of the New Testament from the original Greek (Haweis)		0.4 MB	03-May-2015
Author(s): Haweis, Thomas Module version: 1.0 Description: A TRANSLATION OF THE NEW TESTAMENT FROM THE ORIGINAL GREEK. HUMBLY ATTEMPTED WITH A VIEW TO ASSIST THE UNLEARNED WITH CLEARER AND MORE EXPLICIT VIEWS OF THE MIND OF THE SPIRIT IN THE SCRIPTURES OF TRUTH. BY T. HAWEIS, L.L. B. RECTOR OF ALL-SAINTS, ALDWINCKLE, NORTHAMPTONSHIRE; AND CHAPLAIN TO THE LATE COUNTESS OF HUNTINGDON. London: PRINTED FOR T. CHAPMAN, NO. 151, FLEET-STREET. 1795. PREFACE. APPEARING before the Public as a translator of the Oracles of God, it would ill become me to deprecate the severity of criticism, when I most cordially desire the intelligent and learned of my brethren to point out my mistakes for correction, and, in love and in the spirit of meekness, to smite me friendly. Should, however, the shafts of malignity, and the weapons not of our warfare, be employed against this humble, yet well-meant, attempt to make the Scriptures better understood, I shall endeavour to pluck the honey-comb from the lion’s carcase, and be thankful for real information, in whatever mode it may be communicated. Respecting highly, as I do, the translation of our Reformers, whose language has dignity, and whose soundness in the faith I hope, living and dying, to maintain, it must be acknowledged—that there are in our present version, obscurities which may be avoided—words become in the lapse of ages obsolete—expressions feeble and inexact—for which others more accurate and energetic may be substituted—and in some passages the sense embarrassed, and probably mistaken. To make therefore the Scriptures as intelligible as I can to men of common capacity, who are destitute of the knowledge of the Original, and sometimes perhaps to suggest a sense not unworthy the adoption of the judicious scholar, I have endeavoured to render every passage with the most literal exactness—to use the most forcible and clear expressions corresponding with the Original—not to omit a particle—preserving the participles—and following, as much as the genius of our tongue will permit, the exact order of the Greek words, persuaded that, thus placed, the sense often receives clearness and energy. To transfuse the spirit of the Original into a Translation must be admitted to be very difficult in any language, peculiarly so where the matters treated of are so weighty, and the words so significant, and where holy men of God are speaking as they were moved by the Holy Ghost, without whose continual light and teaching I humbly conceive no man ever did or can understand and receive the things which are of the Spirit of God, so as to know them as he ought to know. As the words of the Spirit contain one precise meaning, and to communicate his mind is the intention of Revelation, it must be our endeavour not to leave them equivocal, but to fix a clear and determinate idea to each, in exact conformity to the Original, that the true sense may be understood, which can be but one. That I have endeavoured to obtain this knowledge it is no presumption to affirm. During forty years and upwards this blessed book of God hath been continually in my hands—never a day hath passed in which it hath not been matter of my meditation; I may venture to say I have read it over more than an hundred times, and many of the passages much oftener. I have consulted the works of the most godly and ingenious of the dead, and often conversed with some of the ablest and most experienced ministers of Christ among the living. I have at two different times of my life translated and transcribed the whole of the New Testament, and considered every word, and phrase, and passage, with attention: indeed the leading object and employment of my whole life hath been to discover and communicate to mankind the truth as it is in Jesus; and every day have I bowed my knees to the Divine Interpreter, who giveth wisdom and understanding to the simple, that he would lighten my darkness, and shine into my heart, to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God, as it is manifested in the face of Jesus Christ. I recommend to my readers to tread in the same path, looking up to the Fountain of wisdom and knowledge. I am not ashamed to own my conviction, that an unlearned person thus seriously attentive to the Scriptures, and crying to God for the spirit of wisdom and revelation in the knowledge of Him, will be led into all saving truth; and gain greater and clearer discoveries of the mind of the Spirit in the Scriptures than any mere natural man, however ingenious and learned. A word, a phrase, an allusion, may indeed exercise critical acumen, and afford a display for erudition; but the scope and tendency of the Sacred Oracles, the doctrines therein revealed, the principles inculcated, and the practice enjoined, never were, and never will be truly known, but by those who are taught of God. As the division of the Scripture into verses interrupts the subject, and often embarrasses the sense, I have preferred paragraphs, placing the verses of the old Version in the margin, for the sake of reference and comparison; and though I have admitted the same division of chapters, in a few instances they might be more judiciously arranged: Matt. ii. 1. belongs to the former chapter, as also Acts, viii. 1. Coloss. iv. 1. I have only now to commend this labour of love to the divine benediction. The Translation itself, and the necessary attentive consideration of every passage, hath not, I trust, been without instruction to myself, and some sweet savour of the truth: so far I have already my reward. It will be highly enhanced if God my Saviour deigns to make this service acceptable and profitable to his people, and the means of communicating clearer and more explicit views of his revealed will to the poor and unlearned of the flock. To them I have long dedicated my life and my labours, believing that of such is the kingdom of heaven. Every attempt to make the Scriptures more read, and better understood, must be acknowledged laudable. Should the present effort fail to answer this end, it may yet provoke men of more wisdom and spiritual gifts, to produce a translation more exact, and suited to general edification. Then I shall be content to be forgotten.

Author(s): Institute for Scripture Research Module version: 1.0 Description: From the preface: The Purpose of this Translation While there have been many fine translations which have been a source of blessing to so many, we have felt the need for a translation of the Scriptures which: Restores the Name of the Almighty to its rightful place in the text (see THE RESTORATION OF THE NAME, below). Is recognisably Messianic in that it affirms the Hebraic roots of the Messianic belief by its appearance, by the use of Hebraic forms of certain words and titles, and by its usage of the same division of the pre-Messianic books of Scripture (the Tanak or “Old Testament”) that was current at the time of our Messiah. Restores the meaning to so many words which have become popular to use, but do not accurately reflect the meaning of the original - for example, church, glory, holy, sacrifice, soul, etc. Seeks to be as far as possible a “literal” translation, wherever possible rendering key words uniformly (exceptions being noted in footnotes or the Explanatory Notes of the printed version).

Disciple's Literal New Testament (DLNT)

02-Apr-2016

Author(s): Michael J. Magill
Module version: 1.0
Description:

The goal of the Disciples’ Literal New Testament is to help all Bible readers better understand the New Testament from the original writers’ point of view. This is accomplished in two primary ways. First, the translation reflects the Greek forms, grammar, and sentence structure, rather than using elegant English like our standard translations. Second, the paragraphs are arranged to display the flow of thought in the Apostles’ minds as revealed in their Greek writings, rather than the artificial 460 year old chapter and verse structure we are used to seeing. The New Testament is opened up to English readers in a depth formerly available only to those who carefully studied their Greek New Testament. Used together with your standard Bible version, you will now have the best of both languages.

This is the companion volume to the 1025 page New Testament TransLine, which presents this same translation in outline format. First published by Zondervan and now by Wiph & Stock, it includes extensive notes on the meaning and usage of the words of the New Testament, notes that explain the meaning of a passage where needed, notes that list the different interpretations when the meaning is not clear, and notes on over 3000 textual variations in the Greek manuscripts that lie behind all English translations. Pastors and Bible students wanting more depth and detail will find it useful. A sample of this book can also be found on the website above.

Porter, Walter. L Conservative Version Reverse Interlinear New Testament Miniscule Edition, A (ACV-nt)		0.6 MB	17-Oct-2020
Author(s): Porter, Walter. L Module version: 2.0 Description: stripped-html A Greek-English Study New Testament A Conservative Version New Testament paired with The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Byzantine-Majority Textform (miniscule edition) This text is in the public domain Foreword Greek is not English One of the strengths of Greek is that it is an inflected language. Therefore, most Greek words contain more information than English words do. This is one reason why I added the supplemental study aids made available by the Greek scholar Maurice A. Robinson to the text of this translation format. These aids are given to help compensate for the unavoidable loss of information that results when translating from Greek to English. Consider the simple word “it”. In English we use the word “it” to refer to animals and things. However, in the Greek language animals and things are often assigned a gender. For example, the Greek word for temple is masculine. Now consider this familiar translation of some words that Jesus said: “Destroy this temple, and in three days I will raise it up” (John 2:19; KJV). Yet literally he said “I will raise him up,” because the Greek pronoun translated “it” in this verse is masculine. And since Jesus is also masculine, the statement could be interpreted as referring either to himself or the temple. The false witnesses at the trial of Jesus (as is typical of the enemies of God and his servants) added to his words, saying, “We heard him say, 'I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and in three days I will build another, not made with hands” (Mark 14:58; KJV). Another example of lost information resulting from typical English translations can be seen in two parables that Jesus gave about rejoicing over lost possessions. The first concerns a man who lost a sheep. Here is what Jesus said the man did when he found it: “…he layeth it on his shoulders, rejoicing. And when he cometh home, he calleth together his friends and neighbours, saying unto them, Rejoice with me; for I have found my sheep which was lost” (Luke 15:6; KJV). Then Jesus tells of a woman who lost a coin. Here is what Jesus said she did when she found it: “…she calleth her friends and her neighbours together, saying, Rejoice with me; for I have found the piece which I had lost” (Luke 15:9; KJV). In the original Greek the words for “friends” and “neighbors” are masculine in the first example, but feminine in the second one. Thus, revealing that the man called his men friends and neighbors, but the woman called her women friends and neighbors. By examining the Greek code that I included you can better appreciate such information, which is not usually revealed because of the limitations of the English language. The Format I Used The format I used in this Greek-English New Testament involves repeating each verse three times. The first verse in each group is my English translation. The third part of each verse group is the Greek text in its original word order. The middle verse is a combination of the English and the Greek, plus study aids. In that material each Greek word is preceded by its English translation, and followed by its vocabulary number (Strong’s) and grammar code (in curly braces). In this middle section I sought to be as literal as I could while still being readable in English. However, I am neither a professional Greek scholar nor an English grammarian. Hence, those of you who are such kind will no doubt find many things to criticize. I welcome any such attention, and urge you to take this simple beginning, and make it much better. Then share it with the rest of us. The vocabulary numbers following each word are from the code used in Strong’s Exhaustive Concordance. Hence, you will be able to more easily check the core meaning of any Greek word by using the code number to find its definition either in Strong’s dictionary or a lexicon that uses his code. I personally have a copy of Thayer’s lexicon published by Baker Book House that lists every New Testament Greek word in numerical order using Strong’s code. This is sometimes necessary to find a word because most words in Greek have variant spellings, and because of the nature of inflection sometimes the first letter will be changed. Therefore, unless you are skilled in the language you will not be able to find the word in the dictionary by its spelling. For an explanation of the grammar code you can read the two files by Robinson, Parsing.txt and Decline.txt. You can also read GGcode.txt which is a smaller file I created from the grammar code information contained in Robinson’s two files. If you plan to use that information much, I recommend you print GGcode.txt for ready accessibility. The following example from the book of Acts illustrates this format: 1:1 I indeed made the former treatise, O Theophilus, about all things that Jesus began both to do and to teach, 1:1 INDEED ΜΕΝ 3303 {PRT} I MADE ΕΠΟΙΗΣΑΜΗΝ 4160 {V-AMI-1S} THO ΤΟΝ 3588 {T-ASM} FORMER ΠΡΩΤΟΝ 4413 {A-ASM} TREATISE ΛΟΓΟΝ 3056 {N-ASM} O Ω 5599 {INJ} THEOPHILUS ΘΕΟΦΙΛΕ 2321 {N-VSM} ABOUT ΠΕΡΙ 4012 {PREP} ALL ΠΑΝΤΩΝ 3956 {A-GPN} THAT ΩΝ 3739 {PR-GPN} THO Ο 3588 {T-NSM} IESOUS ΙΗΣΟΥΣ 2424 {N-NSM} BEGAN ΗΡΞΑΤΟ 756 {V-ADI-3S} BOTH ΤΕ 5037 {PRT} TO DO ΠΟΙΕΙΝ 4160 {V-PAN} AND ΚΑΙ 2532 {CONJ} TO TEACH ΔΙΔΑΣΚΕΙΝ 1321 {V-PAN} 1:1 ΤΟΝ ΜΕΝ ΠΡΩΤΟΝ ΛΟΓΟΝ ΕΠΟΙΗΣΑΜΗΝ ΠΕΡΙ ΠΑΝΤΩΝ Ω ΘΕΟΦΙΛΕ ΩΝ ΗΡΞΑΤΟ Ο ΙΗΣΟΥΣ ΠΟΙΕΙΝ ΤΕ ΚΑΙ ΔΙΔΑΣΚΕΙΝ How Much to Compromise? Why are the words in the middle section in all capital letters? Because that is how the original manuscripts were written. The minuscule writing of small case letters was invented many centuries after the New Testament was written. Hence, small case letters are alterations of the original. Does it matter? Indeed it does. For example, only a novice would see no difference in the meaning of these two phrases: “in the spirit,” and “in the Spirit.” For the same reason, I forsook all punctuation marks (except one) in the middle section of each triad. These also are later inventions and additions to the text. The one exception I made was the use of the question mark because some Greek words are in an interrogative form, and attaching the English question mark to them was necessary to reveal this. Actually, a completely literal translation is impossible because English and Greek are just too different. And since the grammar is quite different I was forced to change the order of some of the words so as to accommodate for English rules of grammar—although in the majority of cases I was able to keep the original word order. I further compromised from the exact format of the original manuscripts by retaining the customary word and verse breaks, which are also later alterations. For, the original text of each book was one continuous string of capital letters broken only when the line ran out of space. For example, using English words, the first two verses of Acts from the KJV would read as follows: TheformertreatisehaveImadeOTheophilusofallthatJesusbegan bothtodoandteachUntilthedayinwhichhewastakenupafterthat hethroughtheHolyGhosthadgivencommandmentsuntothe apostleswhomhehadchosen The English Words I Used In some cases I translated words more literally in the middle part of the triad. For example the transliterated Greek word “Satan” was translated to what it means, “adversary.” Also in that section I transliterated the Greek word used in the manuscripts for the name of our Savior, Iesous. The words “tho,” “thos,” “tha,” “thas,” and “thes” in my translation are not misspellings, they are words I coined in order to compensate for the lack of an English equivalent. You see, the Greek language has 17 words that are classified as definite articles, while English has only the word “the”. As I use them, “tho” is a masculine singular article, “tha” is feminine singular, and “the” is neuter singular. Adding an “s” makes them plural. I had originally used this kind of modification to create many other English words that are more comparable with Greek (e.g., “thiso” for the masculine “this”), but I decided for this effort to limit such new words to just these five definite articles: tho, thos, tha, thas, thes. When English speaking men become motivated to improve the language this way, it can easily be done. Acknowledgments I am exceedingly grateful to the editors of the Byzantine-Majority textform Greek New Testament, namely Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont. These men have done the Church an invaluable service by providing a superior Greek New Testament text. I am likewise very grateful to Maurice A. Robinson for making this text available in electronic form with all of the grammar code and Strong’s numbers information, especially since he very graciously placed it all in the public domain. I originally discovered this material at Vincent Broman's web site: http://www.znet.com/~broman-editions.html Reproduced below is the response I received from professor Robinson about using this material: Your letter regarding permission to use the transliterations and parsing information arrived today at my office. Feel free to use the data any way you wish, so long as it is made clear that the data provided in this regard came from me, have been declared non-copyrighted freeware and have been released into the public domain for anyone to use. I would make sure you have a current and updated copy of this file, since various errors have been found and corrected over the years, but some internet sites have copies dating back to 1991, and do have some errors in them. The latest copy can be obtained from Vincent Broman's site (archimedes.nosc.mil). I think this is the address of his ftp site; if not, his email is [email protected] Maurice A. Robinson, Ph.D. Professor of Greek and New Testament Southeastern Baptist Theological Seminary Wake Forest, North Carolina Confessions Thanks to brother Robinson this work was much easier to create. As with any such work errors are made, and in this case I have no doubt that I created most of them. I also have no doubt that, in spite of all my efforts, some remain. I and every man who uses this material would be very grateful if you would help me find and correct them. As I have stated I am not a professional Greek scholar. I have relied very heavily upon computer software, especially BibleWorks, in creating this translation. And as already stated, all of the grammar code and Strong’s numbers information was furnished freely by brother Robinson. In the same benevolent spirit of Christ, I also place this material in the public domain for the glory of God, and for the benefit of my brothers in Christ. I would be honored if some man of greater qualifications and talent than I have would consider it worth improving. Also, it would be a great blessing if the Old Testament were translated using the same format. Even if I tried, I doubt that I have enough years left to do such a work. Now to the King of the ages, immortal, invisible, alone wise, to God is honor and glory into the ages of the ages. Truly (1st Timothy 1:17). Walter L. Porter www.stillvoices.org

Smith, Julia E. Smith's Literal Translation (SLT)		1.1 MB	11-Aug-2014
Author(s): Smith, Julia E. Module version: 1.6 Description: The Holy Bible Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally From The Original Tongues by Julia E. Smith PREFACE It may seem presumptuous for an ordinary woman with no particular advantages of education to translate and publish alone, the most wonderful book that has ever appeared in the world, and thought to be the most difficult to translate. It has occupied the time and attention of the wisest and most learned of all ages, believing, as the world has believed, that such only could give the correct rendering of the language in which the Bible was written. Over twenty years ago, when I had four sisters, a friend met with us weekly, to search the Scriptures, we being desirous to learn the exact meaning of every Greek and Hebrew word, from which King James's forty-seven translators had taken their version of the Bible. We saw by the margin that the text had not been given literally, and it was the literal meaning we were seeking. I had studied Latin and Greek at school, and began by translating the Greek New Testament, and then the Septuagint, from which our Saviour quoted one or two texts which are not in the Hebrew Bible, and there is now said to be no Hebrew Bible extant so old as the Septuagint. We all had a strong desire to learn the signification of the proper names, and I wrote to a learned friend about it, and he advised me to study Hebrew, saying, " it was a simple language, and easily learned, there being but one book in the world, of pure Hebrew, which was the Bible." He added that, " then I could see with my own eyes, and not look through the glasses of my neighbors." I soon gave my attention to the Hebrew, and studied it thoroughly, and wrote it out word for word, giving no ideas of my own, but endeavoring to put the same English word for the same Hebrew or Greek word, everywhere, while King James's translators have wholly differed from this rule; but it appeared to us to give a much clearer understanding of the text. It had never at that time entered my mind that I should ever publish the work, but I was so much interested and entertained to see the connection from Genesis to Revelation, that I continued my labors and wrote out the Bible five times, twice from the Greek, twice from the Hebrew, and once from the Latin—the Vulgate. These three languages were written over the head of our Saviour. They are now dead languages and cannot be altered. The whole construction is so complete, that it does seem to be the work of inspiration, and the only communication from God to man, for all time. The work is given in types, in figures, in parables, and In dark sayings, a knowledge of which is gained, as all other knowledge is gained, by the desire of the heart to learn it. It may be thought by the public in general, that I have great confidence in myself, in not conferring with the learned in so great a work, but as there is but one book in the Hebrew tongue, and I have defined it word for word, I do not see how anybody can know more about it than I do. It being a dead language no improvements can be made upon it. As for the Latin and Greek, I have no doubt many have searched deeper into the standard works than I have, but I think no one has given more time and attention to the literal meaning of the Bible text in these languages. It is very possible that the readers of this book may think it strange that I have made such use of the tenses, going according to the Hebrew grammar. It seems that the original Hebrew had no regard to time, and that the Bible speaks for all ages. If I did not follow the tenses as they are, I myself should be the judge, and man must not be trusted with regard to the Word of God. I think the promiscuous use of the tenses shows that there must be something hidden, that we must search out, and not hold to the outward, for the " letter kills, but the Spirit gives life." It took me about seven years to accomplish the five translations, at least, I was engaged in it that length of time, not giving my whole time to it. I should probably have been much longer, had it come into my head that I should ever consent to have it published. There may be some little inaccuracies, like putting the verb to be, for is, in a few instances, but I think never has the sense of the Original Tongue been altered.

Wilbur Pickering Wilbur Pickering New Testament (WPNT)		0.8 MB	17-Mar-2012
Author(s): Wilbur Pickering Module version: 1.0 Description: Both the translation and the notes are the responsibility of Wilbur N. Pickering, ThM PhD, being based on his edition of the Greek New Testament, according to the only significant line of transmission, both ancient and independent, that has a demonstrable archetypal form in all 27 books. The Greek Text of which this is a translation, and articles explaining the preference, may be downloaded free from www.walkinhiscommandments.com. The translation is quite similar to the NKJV, an excellent translation of a good Greek text. Since participial clauses are grammatically dependent, I tried to reflect that dependency. But I also tried to capture the atmosphere, while remaining faithful to the Text. The result may seem like a curious mixture of formal and idiomatic style.

Worrell, A. S Worrell New Testament (1904) (Worrell)		0.4 MB	19-Aug-2014
Author(s): Worrell, A. S Module version: 1.0 Description: Designed to aid the earnest reader in obtaining a clear understanding of the doctrines, ordinances, and primitive assemblies, as revealed in these scriptures. PREFACE. This Book, in this particular form, is the outgrowth of a solemn conviction that such a work was required of the writer by Him Whose he is, and Whom he seeks to serve. No conviction less than this could have sustained the writer during the two years and a half he has, largely, devoted to this work. The work has been done with the view of pleasing the SUPREME CRITIC, at Whose judgment bar he will have to account for the manner in which He has handled His word; hence, the all-controlling motive has been to please Him Who is to be his Final Critic and Judge. The work has been begun and prosecuted under the distinct conviction that these New Testament Scriptures, with which the writer has been concerned, are the veritable word of God — His last revelation to this sin-cursed world. Had he believed that these Scriptures were inspired only in "spots," he never could have had the courage to undertake such a task. Or, had he believed that any of the New Testament teachings have become effete, or that they mean less than they did when first given, he would have no heart to embark upon such an enterprise, as their translation and publication. Believing, however, with all his heart, that these Scriptures contain nothing but "live matter;" that they are as true now, and as applicable to man's needs as a tripartite being, as they ever were; and that God stands ready to verify all the promises He has given the world and His people in this Book, when His conditions have been met; the writer, under the guidance of the Holy Spirit (as he believes), undertook the immensely responsible task of furnishing to the public, a correct and literal translation of these Scriptures, put up in good style, with brief notes designed to help the ordinary Christian, who has no knowledge of the original Greek. Coupled very closely with a desire to please God by rendering whole-hearted obedience to Him in His requisition upon the writer to execute this work, has been the desire — amounting well-nigh to a passion — to glorify Him by this same work. A strong desire, therefore, to please and glorify the Triune God has glowed in the writer's heart from the time the work began, two and a half years ago; and, with intense gratitude to the Author and Source of all good, he records the (to many) astonishing fact that, during all the labor of translation and preparation of the notes, he has never realized any fatigue, in body or mind, worth noticing. On the contrary, his very spirit, soul, and body, have glowed, much of the time, with an exhilaration that he could but credit to Him Whom he had undertaken to serve, please, and glorify, in the execution of this work. Of course, absolute perfection is not claimed for this work; but we are confident that there are many improvements, which the intelligent reader will not fail to recognize, and especially in the following particulars: 1. In the capitalization of the initial letter of every pronoun referring to Deity; as, God Who, instead of God who or God which. 2. In restricting the solemn form of the pronouns and verbs to Diety alone; using the common uniformly in all other cases; as, The Father loveth the Son; The disciple loves his Savior. 3. In the use of quotation marks to enclose a direct quotation; as, The Pharisee prayed thus within himself, "Lord, I thank Thee that I am not as other men." 4. In the use of pronouns; as, "Happy are those who mourn," instead of the usual translation, "Blessed are they that mourn." 5. In the clipping of thousands of uns from the preposition unto; as, "He gave the book to me," instead of "He gave the book unto me," where the un is not only (in such cases) useless, but decidedly clumsy and inelegant. In these five particulars alone many thousands of improvements are made even over the late revision of the American Commission, and that also of the English. Then, in the matter of translation, the present work claims far greater fidelity to the original Greek — especially in the use of two important words — than any revision except a few that, like this, have been by individuals; viz., baptidzo and ecclesia. Had King James, and all others since his day, dealt honestly with these two words, Christendom would not be torn up into shreds, and divided up into competing or hostile factions, as it now is. Had all these revisers correctly translated instead of transferred, the Greek word baptidzo, Christendom would not be compelled to blush at the immense absurdity of calling three entirely different acts baptism. Had they translated baptidzo, immerse — which the scholarship of the world required — no one would have been so simple as to call either sprinkle or pour immersion; but as they failed to translate baptidzo, those who are ignorant of the Greek had no certain means of knowing that immersion, sprinkling and pouring might not all find shelter under this untranslated word, baptize or baptism. Had they translated baptidzo immerse, then every one would have known that sprinkling and pouring were not immersion. Thus an immense wrong has been done in failing to translate baptidzo. Then a failure properly to translate ecclesia has, likewise, wrought untold mischief. The word [compounded of ek out of, and kaleein to call — hence to call out, or those called out from the world to be disciples of Christ], rightly translated, would have afforded no shelter for the vast ecclesiasticisms that have overshadowed and well-nigh crowded out of being the simple, independent, local assemblies, that were established in the first centuries of Christianity. Ecclesia should have been translated assembly or congregation; and this would have been a rebuke to those who would swallow up all local assemblies in a consolidated denomination, or ecclesiasticism. The word Sabbaton [a rest day, or period of rest] has been fearfully juggled with. It never means week. And, through the false translation of the word, the Christian Sabbath has been greatly abused. The proper translation of Matt. 28:1, and kindred Scriptures, will leave us a Christian Sabbath, "the first, foremost, or queen of Sabbaths." "Now, in the end of Sabbaths [the whole tribe of weekly Sabbaths, special weekly Sabbaths, Fast Sabbaths, and yearly Sabbaths — all of which were types of the Anti-typical Sabbath] at the dawning toward the First day of Sabbaths [the resurrection day of our Savior], came Mary Magdelene and the other Mary to see the sepulcher." All types give way to their anti-types. The resurection day of Jesus Christ is the most important day, thus far, in the history of our planet. Let it, therefore, have its proper place. The Greek tenses. It is astonishing to note the little regard paid to the Greek tenses by the revisers under King James, and by the late English and even American Commission. Few, indeed, have "The courage of the Greek tenses," or courage to translate them as they are. Rotherham and Young nearly always translate the tenses correctly; the late lamented Broadus comes next (so far as the writer's information extends) in his fidelity to the tenses; and both the American and the English revisions have made great improvement over the revisions of King James in regard to their rendering of the tenses, though both of the former are singularly lax in their handling of the aorist indicative. If these Scriptures are truly inspired, they must have been verbally inspired; and, if verbally inspired, the tense of every verb must have been inspired; and, being inspired, every tense ought to be duly translated. To handle the tenses carelessly, is to trifle with the word of God. The writer has dealt with the tenses as themselves inspired, and he has not dared to translate them otherwise than is required by the genius of the Greek language. He has translated the present tense to correspond to the ''common," "progressive," or "emphatic" form of the English present, as the sense seemed to require; the Greek imperfect, which denotes incomplete or habitual action in past time, into the progressive, or frequentative imperfect tense in English; and the aorist indicative, as the imperfect indefinite in English, to denote completed action in indefinite past time. These are the three tenses that are most difficult to render; the present perfect, future, and future perfect in Greek, meaning about the same as the corresponding tenses in English. It is the business of the translator to translate with scrupulous exactness; and it is the business of the reader to understand and interpret the meaning; the former being concerned to express in English, (or any other language), just what the Greek (or the language to be translated) says; and the latter, to get the best possible meaning out of what is said. Many translators seem to have had in their minds just what ought to have been said, and they often disregard the Greek tenses to sustain their antecedent assumptions. In this work, the writer endeavored to lay aside, as far as possible, all pre-conceived and inherited notions of this inspired Book, and went to work to get at just what it teaches; and, as he has been enabled to grasp the meaning of the Greek, he has faithfully, and in the fear of God alone, endeavored to express it in pure, up-to-date English. There is yet one other matter the writer has not felt free to copy from others; viz., the habit of transferring a participial modifier of the subject to the predicate, and make it a part of a compound predicate; as, "and having taken a towel. He girded Himself," instead of, as some revisions have it, "and took a towel and girded Himself." This may make the same general meaning, but it is not true to the Greek; and, besides, it assumes the right to put in an "and" that is not found in the Greek. This is a very common occurrence in most translations. It is needless to say, after what has been said above, that this book appears in the interest of no denomination of Christians; nor does the writer expect any of them, as such, to adopt it; albeit, he does expect intelligent Christians, into whose hands it may fall, who are hungering and thirsting for the Gospel of Christ, to appreciate it; and to help in its distribution over the land, regardless of all petty sect opposition. The writer feels sure that those who read and study this version carefully and prayer, fully, in connection with the notes, will be led to drop many of the traditions of men, and come into the possession of a much larger Gospel, than has been ordinarily dealt out to them. The Gospel of Christ, in its fullest meaning, and with all its provisions for the wants of our sinful race, is none too large; and it has been one aim with the writer, all the way through, to bring out, so far as he has been able, the whole truth, "as truth is in Jesus." "But are you not fearful that your plain translation will injure the sale of the book?" No; not in the least; for money has nothing to do with it. A billion of dollars could not change the translation of either baptidzo or ecclesia. This work has been done as to the Lord; and it is His, and all the net proceeds will be His. We look to Him, therefore, to manage to give it a wide circulation for His own glory. Of course, the co-operation of the lovers of His truth will be gratefully acknowledged. It should be remarked that the Greek text of Westcot and Hort, as modified by that of Scrivener and others, has been used in the preparation of this work. TO THE READER. 1. The italic words in the body of the Scripture have no word answering to them in the Greek text, but are often understood, or implied; as, "If the world hates you, ye know that it has hated Me, before it hated you." 2. The words of Scripture that are to be explained in the notes, appear in italics; as, He will give you another Advocate; the Father will give the obedient believer who loves Jesus another Advocate, meaning here the Holy Spirit. The explanation immediately follows the italic words. 3. The alternative renderings appear just below the body of the Scripture and just above the notes. 4. Whenever the word Heaven appears with an initial capital H, it refers to the abode of God, or the place where the Heavenly hosts abide. When it is written, heaven, with a small h, or in the plural, heavens, it means the regions above the earth, or the firmament. Special to the Reader. — 1. Understand, dear reader, that present and eternal interests will be subserved by a real understanding, involving an experimental knowledge, of the Gospel of Jesus Christ. 2. If you really desire such an understanding of these Scriptures, you must be taught by the Holy Spirit, (John 14:26; 16:13, 14). 3. The Holy One will delight to teach you, if you will receive Him, and yield yourself to His teaching and guidance, (Luke 11:13; John 14:15-17, 26). 4. Understand, too, that a willingness to do the will of God is one of the best preparations for receiving a knowledge of His will, (John 7:17). 5. As Christ is the Essence of the Gospel, seek, with all your heart, to know Him. Open the door of your heart to Him, and let Him in, (Rev. 3:20); and then, as the Holy Spirit enables you to come into heart-union with your Savior (Eph. 3:16, 17; John 14:17-21), make it a matter of the very first concern to continuously abide in Him, and cherish His abiding in you, (John 15:4, 5). 6. By all means, find time to study the word— some portion of it — every day; invoking the Spirit to teach you its real meaning. 7. Study all the references carefully and prayerfully. 8. Study the word under the distinct conviction that it is the inspired word of God; and seek, m the study of it, to grasp all its teachings, clearly taking in every doctrine, promise, principle, and precept, as well as every provision of the Gospel for all the needs of mankind; devoutly praying that you may have grace to appropriate every provision for your spirit, soul, and body, and thus come to have, so far as possible, an experimental knowledge of it. 9. Finally, seek to convey to others, as far as you can, the knowledge thus acquired, to the praise and glory of God. 10. Study the contents, or outline, of each book, before entering upon its study.

Young, Robert Young's Literal Translation 1898 (YLT)		1.2 MB	28-Jan-2016
Author(s): Young, Robert Module version: 1.1 Description: Young's Literal Translation (YLT) is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible and Concise Critical Comments on the New Testament. Young used the Textus Receptus (TR) and the Majority Text (MT) as the basis for his translation. Young produced a “Revised Version” of his translation in 1887, which he based on the 1881 Westcott–Hort text. After Robert Young died on October 14, 1888, the publisher released a new Revised Edition in 1898. (Extract from Wikipedia)

Module version: 1.0
Description: First of all, one thing that it is 'not' is a "new translation". No new translation work has been done. No new manuscripts have been found. No new scholarship has been invented. No new theories on textual criticism have been laid out.

What it 'is' is a concerted, diligent effort to provide an English edition that actually says 'what' God said. It is compiled from out of the NKJV, LITV and KJV texts, Proof-Reading, CORRECTING the ERRORS the unGodly have put into the English versions, with the aid of the tools that scholarship has already provided to anyone who desires to use them. In some cases all three of these versions are in error. How often have you heard a Bible teacher proclaim something like, "Our Bibles say X, Y or Z, but in the Hebrew/Greek it REALLY MEANS, A, B or C"? My question has always been, "If the Hebrew/Greek REALLY MEAN something else, then 'why' don't our English versions say so?" Thus, the VW-Edition seeks to provide a work that presents "A, B & C". Other than some cases where some words can have many optional meanings, or subtle shadings of means such that a word-study might enhance one's understanding; for the most part, if one reads from the VW-Edition, word-studies into the Hebrew/Greek should not be necessary.

The method by which the VW-Edition has been compiled is that of Proof-Reading. Reading from the English texts in parallel, comparing word-by-word to the linguistic study tools to verify whether or not the English says what it is supposed to; and when errors are found, correcting them. Scrutinizing: Is that the best word to convey the correct meaning? And, accounting for the complexities in going from an eastern language to western, is the verb tense the closest possible for correct understanding? As anyone who knows more than their own native tongue is aware, translating from one tongue to another is not always an 'exact' science, and the VW-Edition is not an "amplified" version, where all the various options are presented. But it has been the diligent goal to present the MOST CORRECT words; current English words that are "closest" in meaning to the texts.

American Standard Version of 1901 (ASV)		1.3 MB	26-Jul-2014
Module version: 2.3 Description: American Standard Version of 1901, including footnotes (ver 2.0+) PREFACE TO THE AMERICAN EDITION A few statements need to be made respecting the origin of this edition of the Revised Version of the English Bible. In the course of the joint labors of the English and American Revisers it was agreed that, respecting all points of ultimate difference, the English Companies, who had had the initiative in the work of revision, should have the decisive vote. But as an offset to this, it was proposed on the British side that the American preferences should be published as an Appendix in every copy of the Revised Bible during a term of fourteen years. The American Committee on their part pledged themselves to give, for the same limited period, no sanction to the publication of any other editions of the Revised Version than those issued by the University Presses of England. There still remained the possibility that the British Revisers, or the University Presses, might eventually adopt in the English editions many, or the most, of the American preferences, in case these should receive the approval of scholars and the general public. But soon after the close of their work in 1885 the English Revision Companies disbanded; and there has been no indication of an intention on the part of the Presses to amalgamate the readings of the Appendix, either wholly or in part, with the text of the English editions. The American Revision Committee, after the publication of the Revised Version in 1885, resolved to continue their organization, and have regarded it as a possibility that an American recension of the English Revision might eventually be called for. Accordingly they have been engaged more or less diligently, ever since 1885, and especially in the last four years, in making ready for such a publication. The judgment of scholars, both in Great Britain and in the United States, has so far approved the American preferences that it now seems to be expedient to issue an edition of the Revised Version with those preferences embodied in the text. If the preparation of this new edition had consisted merely in the mechanical work of transferring the readings of the Appendix to the text, it would have been a comparatively easy task. But the work was in point of fact a much more elaborate one. The Appendix was itself in need of revision; for it had been prepared under circumstances which rendered fulness and accuracy almost impossible. This work could of course not be taken in hand until the revision was concluded; and since it required a careful consideration of discussions and decisions extending over a period of many years, there was need of many months' time, if the Appendix was to be satisfactorily constructed, especially as it was thought desirable to reduce the number of recorded differences and this required the drawing of a sharp line between the more and the less important. Manifestly such a task would be one of no little difficulty at the best. But when the time came for it to be done, the University Presses deemed that the impatient demand of the British public for the speedy publication of the Revision must be respected; and they insisted on a prompt transmission of the Appendix. Prepared under such pressure and in such haste, it was obviously inevitable that it should be marked by grave imperfections; and the correction of its errors and the supplementing of its defects has been a work of much time and labor. When the Appendix was originally prepared, an effort was made to pave the way for an eventual acceptance of the American preferences on the part of the English Presses, by reducing the number of the points of difference to the lowest limit, and thus leaving out much the larger part of the emendations which the Revisers had previously by a two-thirds vote pronounced to be in their opinion of decided importance. In now issuing an American edition, the American Revisers, being entirely untrammelled by any connection with the British Revisers and Presses, have felt themselves to be free to go beyond the task of incorporating the Appendix in the text, and are no longer restrained from introducing into the text a large number of those suppressed emendations. The remainder of this Preface has especial reference to the Old Testament. Nothing needs to be said about the various particular proposals which are found in the Appendix of the English Revised Version. But some remarks may be made concerning the General Classes of changes therein specified, and also concerning those emendations in this edition which are additional to those prescribed in the Appendix. i. The change first recommended in the Appendix - that which substitutes "Jehovah" for "LORD" and "GOD" - is one which will be unwelcome to many, because of the frequency and familiarity of the terms displaced. But the American Revisers, after a careful consideration were brought to the unanimous conviction that a Jewish superstition, which regarded the Divine Name as too sacred to be uttered, ought no longer to dominate in the English or any other version of the Old Testament, as it fortunately does not in the numerous versions made by modern missionaries. This Memorial Name, explained in Ex. iii. 14, 15, and emphasized as such over and over in the original text of the Old Testament, designates God as the personal God, as the covenant God, the God of revelation, the Deliverer, the Friend of his people; -- not merely the abstractly "Eternal One" of many French translations, but the ever living Helper of those who are in trouble. This personal name, with its wealth of sacred associations, is now restored to the place in the sacred text to which it has an unquestionable claim. The uniform substitution of "Sheol" for "the grave," "the pit," and "hell," in places where these terms have been retained by the English Revision, has little need of justification. The English Revisers use "Sheol" twenty-nine times out of the sixty-four in which it occurs in the original. No good reason has been given for such a discrimination. If the new term can be fitly used at all, it is clear that it ought to be used uniformly. The use of "who" and "that" for "which," when relating to persons, should commend itself to all as required by grammatical accuracy. The same remark applies to the substitution of are for "be" in indicative clauses, the omission of "for" before infinitives, and the change of an to "a" before "h" aspirated. The latter change was made in the English Revision of the New Testament, but not in that of the Old. Likewise we have uniformly adopted the modern spelling in place of antiquated forms. No one would advocate the resumption of the exact orthography of the edition of 1611. The mere fact that in a few cases an older form has happened to be retained constitutes no reason for its perpetual retention. ii. Inasmuch as the present edition differs from the English Revision not simply in presenting in the text the American preferences as given in the Appendix, a few remarks may be made with regard to the additional variations which will be found to exist. As has already been intimated, this edition embodies a very considerable number of renderings originally adopted by the American Old Testament Company at their second revision (and so by a two-thirds majority), but waived when the Appendix was prepared. These represent the deliberate preference of the American Company; but, for reasons already assigned, they were not included in the Appendix. Partly coinciding with the foregoing is a number of alterations which consist in a return to the readings of the Authorized Version. While in some cases the older readings, though inaccurate, seem to have been retained in the English Revision through an excessive conservatism, in others they have been abandoned needlessly, and sometimes to the injury of the sense and the sound. In such cases fidelity to the general principle that has governed us has required us to, give the preference to the rendering of the Common Version. Among the many instances of these restorations we may note: Ex. xx. 4, 13; Lev. xix. 22; Ps. xlviii. 1; civ. 26; cxiv. 4; cxvi 11 Prov. xiii. 15; Am. vi. 5. Sometimes we have found occasion to recede from proposals originally made, when a more careful and mature consideration required us to do so. Besides individual cases, like S. of S. vi. 4, 10; Ezek. v.13, may be mentioned the fact that the requirement of the Appendix, that "be ashamed" should everywhere be changed to "be put to shame," has been found to need qualification. While the change seems desirable in a majority of the instances, it is by no means so in all. We have therefore retained "ashamed" in a large number of passages; in some, however, we have preferred "confounded" as better suiting the connection. Very many of the instances in which we have gone beyond the literal requirements of the Appendix are alterations demanded by consistency. Changes were originally proposed in certain passages only, though the reason for the changes equally requires them to be made in numerous others. Thus at Ps. xxxiii. 5, and in twenty-four other places, "justice" was to be put for "judgment." But it is manifest that in a multitude of other passages there is equal need of the same alteration. We have accordingly undertaken to introduce it wherever the Hebrew word plainly has this abstract sense. For the same reason we have substituted "ordinance" for judgment" in the numerous passages, like Lev. xviii. 4, where the word denotes, not a judicial sentence, threatened or inflicted, but a law of action. This rendering of the Hebrew word is found in the Authorized Version in some instances, and has been introduced by the Revised Veision in a few more; but, since the English word "judgment" in common use never denotes a statute or command, it is manifestly desirable that "ordinance" should be used wherever the Hebrew word has this meaning. Similarly, the English Revision in a few cases, and the Old Testament Appendix in a few more, put "despoil" for "spoil." But the same reason which holds for those few is equally good for the numerous others in which this word occurs. The word "spoil" in the Authorized Version represents a great number of Hebrew words, some of which denote "lay waste," "ruin," or "destroy," rather than "despoil"; and as "spoil" has nearly lost in popular use its original meaning, and is liable to occasion misconception, we have replaced it by "despoil," "plunder," ravage, and other terms, each as best adapted to the connection. In like manner we have carried out another alteration which was made to a limited extent by the English Revisers - the distinction between the words "stranger" ("strange"), "foreigner" ( foreign"), and "sojourner." These renderings correspond fairly well to three distinct Hebrew words there is no good reason why the correspondence should not be made uniform throughout. Likewise we have carried out consistently the substitution of "false," "falsehood," and other terms, for "vain," "vanity," where the meaning of the original requires it. Here too a beginning was made by us in the Appendix. Many other examples might be adduced. Here may be mentioned also that changes made for the sake of euphemism have been considerably increased. It has not been possible in every case to find an appropriate substitute for terms which in modern times have become offensive; but when it has been possible, we have deemed it wise to make the change. Some of the words, as, for example, "bowels," are tolerable when used in their literal sense, but offensive when employed in a psychological sense. Thus, no other word would be appropriate in 2 Sam. xx. 10; but in Jer. iv. 19 or Lam. i. 20 to retain that term would be both unpleasant and incorrect. The conception of the writer is not really reproduced by a literal translation. The Hebrews were accustomed to attribute psychical action or emotion to various physical organs, whereas in English such a trope is limited almost entirely to "heart" and "brain." There is nowhere any occasion for using the latter of these in the Bible; consequently it is almost unavoidable that "heart" should often be used as the translation of different Hebrew words. All scholars know that the Hebrew word commonly rendered "heart" is used very largely to denote not so much the seat of the emotions, as the seat of thought. It is rendered in the Authorized Version more than twenty times by "mind," and might well be so rendered much oftener. The word "reins" is one of those which in the Old Testament is used in a psychological relation. This word was retained by the English Revisers, and was also left without mention by the American Revisers when they prepared their Appendix. But if the synonymous word "kidneys" had been used in these passages, there would be an earnest and unanimous protest. In favor of the continued use of "reins," therefore, one can only urge the poor reason that most readers attach to it no meaning whatever. We have consequently regarded it as only a consistent carrying out of our general principle when we have uniformly substituted "heart" for it, whenever it is used in a psychological sense. In this connection it may be remarked that, while the English Revisers, yielding to the urgent representations of the Americans, voted to substitute "its" for "his" or "her" when relating to impersonal objects not personified, the substitution was so imperfectly made that we have had occasion to supplement the work in some two hundred cases. Furthermore, the general intention of the American Revisers to eliminate obsolete, obscure, and misleading terms, has been more fully carried out by replacing some expressions which were left unmentioned in the Appendix; e.g., "bolled" (Ex. ix. 31), "in good liking" (Job xxxix. 4). Closely connected with the foregoing are certain additional alterations which have seemed to be required by regard for pure English idiom. We are not insensible to the justly lauded beauty and vigor of the style of the Authorized Version, nor do we forget that it has been no part of our task to modernize the diction of the Bible. But we are also aware that the rhetorical force and the antique flavor which we desire to retain do not consist in sporadic instances of uncouth, unidiomatic, or obscure phraseology. While we may freely admit that the English of the Scriptures can, as a whole, hardly be improved, yet it would be extravagant to hold that it cannot be bettered in any of its details. What was once good usage is often such no longer; and we can see no sound reason for retaining such expressions as "smell thereto" (Ex. xxx. 38), "forth of" (instead of "forth from"), "inquire at "(1 K. xxii. 5), "a fool's vexation is heavier than them both" (Prov. xxvii. 3), or "when... he be jealous over his wife" (Num. v.30). These are only a few of the many instances of phraseology which there is the best reason for amending. A change of a more general kind is the introduction of a greater degree of consistency and propriety in the use of the auxiliaries "will" and "shall." The latter is certainly used to excess in the Authorized Version, especially when connected with verbs denoting an action of the Divine Being; and the two are also often very inconsistently used, as may be observed in such a striking case as Ps. cxxi. 3, 4. Again, the attempt to translate literally from the original has not infrequently led to Hebraisms which had better be avoided. Many of these have indeed become, as it were, naturalized in our language, and need not be disturbed. But others must be called bad and outlandish. Thus, in Ezek. xx. 17, we read, "mine eye spared them from destroying them," which is a very literal translation of the Hebrew, but very poor English. Scarcely more tolerable is the expression, "that they may be to do the service" (Num. viii. 11), which also comes from over-literalness. To the same class belongs the phrase "by the hand of," as used after such expressions as "Jehovah spake" (or, "commanded"), e.g., in Num. xxvii. 23. This is indeed the literal rendering; but the Hebrew really means simply "through" or "by means of," and is in the majority of these instances in the Authorized Version rendered " by," but sometimes "by the hand of." Manifestly the simpler form is every way preferable; and the change, if any is made, should be in this direction, whereas in the English Revision "by" is, in nine cases out of forty-two, changed to "by the hand of." Similarly, "in the land," in Deut. v. 16 and in several other places, has been changed in the English Revision to "upon the land"; but as "land" is here equivalent to country," "in the land" is clearly the most appropriate. In both these groups of cases we have everywhere adopted the idiomatic English, rather than the slavishly literal, rendering. In introducing certain translations different from those of the English Revised Version, and also not directly or implicitly required by the Appendix, we have been governed by the conviction that, in cases where accuracy and perspicuity clearly required an emendation, we were fully warranted in resorting to it. We have been careful, in making these alterations, to consult the best authorities, and especially the recent carefully revised versions of the German, French, Dutch, Danish, Swedish, and Norwegian Bibles. Few certainly will object to such alterations as are found in Dent. xxxii. 14; Judg. v.20; Is. xxx. 32; xxxv. 8; Hos. xi. 2; Mic. i. 6. We have also not hesitated to insert "the" before "Jordan" and other names of rivers. Likewise, as the English Revisers had with good reason removed the fabulous "unicorn" from the Old Testament, we have removed the equally fabulous "dragon," as also the "arrowsnake" of the English Revision (Is. xxxiv. 15) - an animal unknown to zoology, the term having obviously been adopted through a too literal translation of the German word "Pfeilschlange." Another particular in which we have to some extent deviated from the requirements of the Appendix relates to our treatment of the references in the margin to the readings of ancient versions. On account of the extreme difficulty of correcting the Hebrew text by means of those versions, we originally decided that it would be better to make no reference to them at all. The case is radically different from that of the New Testament, where the variant readings are mostly found in Greek Mss. of the New Testament itself. The authorities referred to in the Old Testament are translations from the Hebrew; and though the date of these translations is more ancient than any extant Ms. of the Hebrew Bible, yet there is no means of verifying with certainty the text of these translations; and one can never get beyond plausible conjecture in attempting to correct the Hebrew text by means of these versions. It is one thing to admit that the Hebrew text is probably corrupt here and there; quite another, to be sure how to rectify it. In the English Revision there are frequent references in the margin to the ancient versions. The most of these seem to us at the best of trivial importance, and have been dropped. A few represent only a different vocalization of the Hebrew. A certain number, however, have to do with variations of some importance and such as may, with considerable probability, be conjectured to represent the original Hebrew. We have therefore retained a little more than one-sixth of the references given in the English Revision, but have been careful to designate which of the ancient versions contain a specified reading, instead of making the vague, and often inaccurate, statement that some" or "many" ancient versions present the reading in question. For the sake of facilitating the use of the Old Testament we have provided it with marginal references to parallel and illustrative passages, and with topical headings. In preparing the references we have been assisted by able scholars not connected with the Old Testament Company. The aim has been to illustrate and elucidate the meaning by referring to other passages which, either in word or in thought, bear a resemblance to the one under consideration. Previous lists have been consulted, but they have been carefully sifted, and the effort has been made to omit everything that is irrelevant or misleading. In preparing the headings we have intended, by means of brief but descriptive terms, to enable the reader to see at a glance what the general contents of each page are. Everything that might seem to savor of a questionable exegesis has been carefully avoided. Considerable attention has been paid to the paragraph divisions and to the punctuation. While the English Revisers did well to abandon the older way of making a paragraph of each verse they often went to the opposite extreme of making the paragraphs excessively long, leaving in some cases whole pages without a break, as, for example, at Gen. xxiv. and Num. xxii.-xxiv. We have revised the paragraph divisions throughout, making them generally shorter, and sometimes altering the place of the division. In the matter of punctuation, we have aimed to remove many inconsistencies found in previous editions, and also, while retaining the general system adopted by our predecessors, to make the book conform somewhat more nearly to modern usage. One result is a considerable reduction of the number of colons, which are often replaced by semicolons, occasionally by periods or commas. In some cases a change of punctuation has modified the sense; as, e.g., in Gen ii. 5; xiv. 24; Ezek. xxix. 9, 10. We have also made much more frequent use of the hyphen than has been made in previous editions. In many instances we have recurred to the punctuation of the Authorized Version, especially where the English Revisers have departed from it out of an undue regard to the pausal accents of the Massoretic text; as e.g., in Lev. vi. 7; Zech. xi. 16. Further particulars respecting the points of difference between this edition and the English Revision of 1881-1885 may be learned from the Appendix found at the close of this Testament.

Module version: 2.13 Description: Includes Red Letters and Strong's numbers This module is a modification of theWord's KJV module, made with Costas Stergiou's permission. It's title is Authorised (King James) Version, Pure Cambridge Edition first published by Cambridge University circa 1900-1970s. It is the result of the textual purification process that has occurred since 1611 when the Holy Bible was completed and printed. Millions of copies conforming to this edition were issued by Bible and missionary societies in the twentieth century. This text stands in contrast to all other editions (especially those created since the mid to late 1800s). 7th major translation into English. According to Bible Protector, http://www.bibleprotector.com/, the AV-1611 is the 7th major translation of the Bible into English. 1. Tyndale - 1525-1535 2. Matthew's - 1537 3. Coverdale - 1535 4. Great - 1539 5. Geneva - 1560 6. Bishops - 1538 7. 1611 KJV - 1611 7th major edition of the AV/KJV Bible. According to Bible Protector, the AV produced by Cambridge, circa 1900, is the 7th major edition of the 1611 with each edition purifying the previous through correcting printing errors, standardization of spelling, italics, but no changes in wording. These editions are: 1. 1st 1611 edition 2. 2nd 1611 edition 3. 1613 edition 4. 1629 edition 5. 1638 edition 6. 1769 edition 7. circa 1900 - Pure Cambridge Edition Pure Cambridge Edition checklist: 1. "or Sheba" not "and Sheba" in Joshua 19:2 2. "sin" not "sins" in 2 Chronicles 33:19 3. "Spirit of God" not "spirit of God" in Job 33:4 4. "whom ye" not "whom he" in Jeremiah 34:16 5. "Spirit of God" not "spirit of God" in Ezekiel 11:24 6. "flieth" not "fleeth" in Nahum 3:16 7. "Spirit" not "spirit" in Matthew 4:1 8. "further" not "farther" in Matthew 26:39 9. "bewrayeth" not "betrayeth" in Matthew 26:73 10. "Spirit" not "spirit" in Mark 1:12 11. "spirit" not "Spirit" in Acts 11:28 12. "spirit" not "Spirit" in 1 John 5:8 The KJV text is in the public domain, except in the United Kingdom, because the rights are vested in the Crown (English royalty). Modification Schema: theWord's KJV module was used as the basis for modification because it already has the translators notes in it, Strong's numbers, red lettering, and paragraphing. It has been modified to match the Pure Cambridge Edition (PCE) which was printed by Cambridge University Press circa 1900-1970s. Modifications include: 1. Spelling - The spelling has been modified to match the older spelling of the PCE. Modifications include: enquire/enquired to inquire/inquired; razor to rasor; counsellor/counsellors to counseller/counsellers; ankle/ankles to ancle/ancles; LORD'S to LORD's; expenses to expences; Gaba to Geba in Ezra 2:26, Sarah to Sara in Rom 4:19; 9:9; 1Pe 3:6. 2. Paragraphing - The modern paragraphing scheme has been replaced with that of the PCE. There are no paragraph breaks after Acts 20 other than at the end of each chapter. 3. Red Lettering - The red lettering, an American innovation, has been modified to match the PCE by removing all red lettering from Acts 1:9 on. The Cambridge Cameo Edition Bible states, "With the words of our Lord while upon earth printed in red." These are the words he spoke, but not the words others spoke in quoting him, from Mat 1:1-Act 1:9. More recent red letter editions have begun making red the words Jesus spoke after his resurrection as well as his words quoted by others. 4. Psalm Headers - These have been reduced to a smaller font size than the verse text to match the PCE. 5. Psalm 119 Section Headings - These are the names of the letters of the Hebrew alphabet. They have been enlarged to a larger font size than the verse text to match the PCE. 6. End notes to Paul's Epistles - These have been removed from the translator notes since they are not part of the translator notes and placed at the end of each epistle as they are in the 1611 and PCE and in a smaller font size than the verse text to match the PCE. 7. End notes to the Testaments - These have been added to the last verse of each testament since they are a part of the PCE in the same size as the verse text to match the PCE and made bold to make them distinguishable from the verse text. 8. Hyphenation of Compound Proper Names - The hyphens in compound proper names have been removed, with certain exceptions, in the digital format found in bible programs. They have been reinstated to match the PCE in accordance with the KJB-PCE-RTF.rtf file available from http://www.bibleprotector.com/ and clicking on the link: King James Bible: Pure Cambridge Edition: Rich Text Format: Compressed Zip (1.37 MB). 9. Miscellaneous Corrections - Italic word corrections; change "the Hivites" to "and the Hivites," Exo 23:23; punctuation change in Jer 32:5 (. to ?); capitalization of both letters (AE) from the converted ash character; correction of capitalization of spirit in Act 11:12. 10. Translator Notes - The translator notes have been modified to match those found in the Cambridge Cameo Edition Bible.

Bible in Basic English 1949/1964 (BBE)		1 MB	30-Jul-2012
Module version: 1.2 Description: The Bible In Basic English was printed in 1965 by Cambridge Press in England. The form in which the Bible is given here is not simply another example of the Bible story put into present-day English. The language used is Basic English. Basic English, produced by Mr C. K. Ogden of the Orthological Institute, is a simple form of the English language which, with about 1,000 words, is able to give the sense of anything which may be said in English. Working with the Orthological Institute, a Committee under the direction of Professor S. H. Hooke, Professor Emeritus of Old Testament Studies in the University of London, has been responsible for a new English form of the Bible made from the Hebrew and the Greek. In this undertaking, the latest ideas and discoveries in connection with the work of putting the Bible into other languages were taken into account, and when the Basic form was complete it was gone over in detail by a Committee formed by the Syndics of the Cambridge University Press. The Basic Bible, which in this way was watched over by two separate groups of experts through its different stages, is designed to be used wherever the English language has taken root. Frequently, the narrow limits of the word-list make it hard to keep the Basic completely parallel with the Hebrew and the Greek; but great trouble has been taken with every verse and every line to make certain that there are no errors of sense and no loose wording. It is only natural that, from time to time, some of the more delicate shades of sense have not been covered; on the other hand, it is well to keep in mind that in the Authorised Version the power and music of the language sometimes take so much of the reader's attention that these more delicate shades are overlooked. In fact, the Basic expert is forced, because of the limited material with which he is working, to give special care to the sense of the words before him. There is no question of the Basic work taking the place of the Authorised Version or coming into competition with it; but it may be said of this new English Bible that it is in a marked degree straightforward and simple and that these qualities give it an independent value. Signs used in this book ... are used where it is no longer possible to be certain of the true sense of the Hebrew words, and for this reason no attempt has been made to put them into Basic. *** are used as a sign that one or more Hebrew words, necessary to the sense, have been taken out at some time or other. [ ] are used for marking additions made by later writers. ( ) are used for marking additions put in for the purpose of making the sense clear. The numbers used for divisions of books and for verses are the same as in the Authorised and Revised Versions of the English Bible.

Description:

The Koren Jerusalem Bible

The Koren Tanakh was originally translated into English in 1967. The original work was based upon several other English translations that were accepted for Jewish use in the English-speaking world. The principle work was based upon The Jewish Family Bible of M. Friedländer, which was published in 1881. The late Professor Harold Fisch, a scholar of English literature and the Rector of Bar Ilan University, was responsible for the final edited version. Professor Fisch took the base text supplied by Friedländer, compared it with the Isaac Lesser version and other translations, but also incorporated insights from modern scholarship as well as Jewish sources to produce the finished product. Where possible and necessary, Fisch updated archaic language, but at the same time, he maintained elements that many modern translations eliminated. One such example was his use of second person pronouns. The current practice of using “you” for both singular and plural leaves the reader in the dark as to what the Hebrew says and can cause unnecessary confusion. In the Koren Tanakh, when the reader sees “you, or your” it represents the plural, but when the reader encounters, “thou, thee, thy, or thine,” the singular is intended. Although not always understood by modern readers, when thou is used, it represents the subject of the sentence, when thee is used, it represents the object of the sentence. Thy and thine represent the possessive of you, i.e. “your.” The Koren Tanakh does away with the archaic ye, and so the plural, which it was intended to represent, has been simply rendered you. So retaining the older forms for the singular, and using “you” for the plural allows the reader to see what is intended by the Hebrew behind the English translation.

The English translation of this Bible was revised and edited by Harold Fisch. It is a thoroughly corrected, modernized, and revised version of the Anglo-Jewish Bibles that have been accepted for home and synagogue throughout the English-speaking world. The Jewish Family Bible of M. Friedlander, published in 1881, was the basis for this edition. That version was faithful to the Masora, or received Hebrew text. It also retained as much Jewish sentiment as permitted of the unsurpassed language and rhythm of the "Authorized Version" of 1611. Also, a comparison was made with the nineteenth century Jewish Bible of Isaac Lesser and with other later translations.

The language of the old versions has been modernized where ancient linguistic and grammatical forms would be difficult for the present-day reader. Many points of detail have been corrected in light of modern scholarship.

A primary aim of the translators has been to offer a rendering of the English Bible which would match the spirit and outer appearance of the Hebrew text printed opposite it. This text, the "Koren Bible," is unique among Hebrew printed Bibles in rejecting Greek titles, Latin numerals, and chapter divisions based on non-Jewish authority. The English text is divided up according to the traditional system of petuhot (open line divisions) and setumot (closed spaces) as found in ancient Hebrew manuscripts. (Here adjusted to the KJV standard of theWord - Ed.)

Twentieth Century New Testament, The (20cNT)		0.4 MB	10-Dec-2011
Module version: 0.5 Description: The Twentieth Century New Testament (“TCNT”) is an English translation of the New Testament. Originally published in three parts between 1898 and 1901, it is considered the first translation of the Bible into modern English. After further revisions based on suggestions from readers, the final version was published in 1904. The Twentieth Century New Testament was produced in Britain over a period of 15 years by a group of approximately 20 people. Although they were all fluent in the "koine" Greek of the New Testament, the translators were not professional scholars but a varied cross section of society -- ministers, housewives, school teachers, railroad workers, and businessmen. However they shared the desire (as the Preface to their work puts it), "to do for the English nation what has been done already for the people of almost all other countries -- to enable Englishmen to read the most important part of their Bible in that form of their own language which they themselves use." As the project progressed J. Rendel Harris and Richard Francis Weymouth, two well known scholars of the time, voluntarily advised the group, helping to ensure scholarly integrity. Also, translation was done using the then-cutting edge Westcott and Hort text of the Greek New Testament, further adding to the accuracy of their rendering.

What is the Byzantine Text?

The New Testament is translated from Greek. Editions of the Greek New Testament are prepared from manuscripts, which were copied by hand and do not always agree. Manuscripts are grouped into families or texts based on their shared readings. The Byzantine Text is a family that contains 90%+ of all Greek New Testament manuscripts.

Why use the Byzantine Text?

Dr. Maurice Robinson, the most respected living proponent of the Byzantine priority theory, summarized the case for Byzantine Priority in this “New Testament Textual Criticism: The Case for Byzantine Priority” (Also available in theWORD Bible Software) initially published in the appendix to the Robinson-Pierpont 2005 edition.

The SBL Greek New Testament (SBLGNT) is a new edition of the Greek New Testament, established with the help of earlier editions. In particular, four editions of the Greek New Testament were utilized as primary resources in the process of establishing the SBLGNT. These editions (and their abbreviations) are: WH, Treg, NIV, RP

The starting point for the SBLGNT was the edition of Westcott and Hort. First, the WH text was modified to match the orthographic standards of the SBLGNT (described below). Next, the modified version was compared to the other three primary editions (Treg, NIV, and RP) in order to identify points of agreement and disagreement between them. Where all four editions agreed, the text was tentatively accepted as the text of the SBL edition; points of disagreement were marked for further consideration. The editor then worked systematically through the entire text, giving particular attention to the points of disagreement but examining as well the text where all four editions were in agreement. Where there was disagreement among the four editions, the editor determined which variant to print as the text; occasionally a reading not found in any of the four editions commended itself as the most probable representative of the text and therefore was adopted. Similarly, where all four texts were in agreement, the editor determined whether to accept that reading or to adopt an alternative variant as the text. In this manner, the text of the SBLGNT was established.

Description:

Diese Bibelausgabe geht auf die sogenannte "Elberfelder Übersetzung" zurück, die erstmals in den Jahren 1855 bis 1871 erschienen ist. Sie war mit dem Ziel erstellt worden, eine möglichst genaue, das heißt wortgetreue Übersetzung des Grundtextes zu bieten.

In der vorliegenden Neubearbeitung dieser Übersetzung wurde hier und da die Genauigkeit der Übersetzung verbessert; außerdem wurden an vielen Stellen sprachliche und stilistische Glättungen vorgenommen. Dabei war es Wunsch und Ziel, dass diese Ausgabe weiterhin dem Anspruch genügt, möglichst wortgetreu und doch verständlich zu sein.

Vielleicht fragen Sie sich, ob wir wirklich wissen, was wir tun. Da können wir Sie beruhigen. Seit bereits 15 Jahren sind wir davon überzeugt, dass wir genau das Richtige tun. In den Jahren 2000 und 2003 erschienen erste Teilausgaben des Neuen Testaments der NGÜ und wir haben seitdem viele begeisterte Menschen kennen gelernt, die uns bestätigt haben, dass unsere Arbeit richtig ist. Andere Übersetzungen sind oft schwerer verständlich, da sie entweder eine eher altertümliche Sprache verwenden oder eine sehr moderne Sprache benutzen, inhaltlich aber relativ weit vom Originaltext entfernt sind. Wir wollen, dass Sie die Botschaft der Bibel besser verstehen können. Deswegen ist es uns wichtig, so urtexttreu wie möglich zu sein, ohne die Verständlichkeit zu vernachlässigen. Mit der NGÜ können Sie nun das gesamte Neue Testament in der Sprache von heute lesen. Leicht verständlich und lesefreundlich gestaltet. Höchste inhaltliche und sachliche Genauigkeit erschließen Ihnen neue Dimensionen bei der Lektüre. Entdecken Sie das Neue Testament ganz neu! NGÜ site

Lutherbibel 1984 mit Apokryphen Bible with Deuterocanon

Ein Nachdruck des revidierten Textes der Lutherbibel sowie jede andere Verwertung in elektronischer oder gedruckter Form oder eines anderen Mediums bedarf der Genehmigung des Rates der Evangelischen Kirche in Deutschland.

»Dem Volk aufs Maul sehen«

Berühmt ist ein Grundsatz, den Luther bei seiner Bibelübersetzung angewendet und der zu dem durchschlagenden Erfolg seiner Bibelübersetzung beigetragen hat: »Man muss nicht die Buchstaben der lateinischen Sprache fragen, wie man soll deutsch reden, sondern man muss die Mutter im Hause, die Kinder auf der Gasse, den gemeinen Mann auf dem Markt drum fragen und denselbigen aufs Maul sehen, wie sie reden, und danach dolmetschen, so verstehn sie es denn und merken, dass man deutsch mit ihnen redet.« (Sendbrief vom Dolmetschen)

Theologische Prinzipien

Ebenso wichtig waren für Luther jedoch die theologischen Prinzipien seiner Übersetzung. Als Grundlage für sein Verständnis der Bibel gilt ihm Gottes Heilstat in Jesus Christus. Um dieses möglichst deutlich herauszuarbeiten, hat Luther bestimmte deutsche Worte, in denen sich diese Botschaft ausdrückt, möglichst oft verwendet – auch dort, wo der hebräische oder griechische Wortlaut es nicht fordert: Glaube, Gnade, Trost (durch das Evangelium), predigen (das Evangelium verkündigen). Mit Hilfe dieses Verfahrens lässt Luther die evangelische Botschaft von der Rechtfertigung des Sünders allein aus dem Glauben durch die ganze Heilige Schrift hindurch sichtbar werden.

Bedeutung

Seit der Reformationszeit hat Luthers Bibelübersetzung nicht nur den deutschen Protestantismus und seine Frömmigkeit tiefgreifend geprägt, sondern auch die deutsche Literatur und Sprache aufs nachhaltigste beeinflusst. Bei der Herausbildung einer einheitlichen deutschen Schriftsprache hat sie eine entscheidende Rolle gespielt und darüber hinaus in Sprachschatz und Sprachgebrauch der Deutschen zahlreiche Spuren hinterlassen.

Redewendungen wie Hochmut kommt vor dem Fall (Sprüche 16,18) oder Wer andern eine Grube gräbt, fällt selbst hinein (Prediger 10,8) stammen ebenso aus der Lutherbibel wie Wes das Herz voll ist, des geht der Mund über (Matthäus 12,34). Die deutsche Dichtung ist voll von Zitaten und Anspielungen aus der Lutherbibel; es ist bekannt, wie sehr der junge Goethe seine Sprache an der Bibel Martin Luthers geschult hat, und in unserem Jahrhundert hat Bertolt Brecht die Frage nach seiner Lieblingslektüre so beantwortet: »Sie werden lachen: die Bibel.«

Revisionen

Bis gegen Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts war die Lutherbibel in den protestantischen Gebieten Deutschlands das Haus- und Volksbuch schlechthin. Dann haben eine beschleunigte Sprachentwicklung und ein einschneidender Traditionsabbruch dazu geführt, dass die Originalsprache Luthers für immer mehr Menschen immer schwerer verständlich wurde.

Damit die Bibel Martin Luthers nicht zum sprachlichen Museumsstück würde, hat die Evangelische Kirche in Deutschland seit dem Ende des 19. Jahrhunderts in mehreren Anläufen versucht, seine Übersetzung schonend dem gewandelten Sprachgebrauch anzupassen. Dieser Prozess ist nach etlichen Zwischenstufen im Jahr 1984 zu einem vorläufigen Abschluss gekommen. Seit 1999 liegt die Lutherbibel in einer durchgesehenen Fassung in neuer Rechtschreibung vor. In dieser Fassung stellt die Lutherbibel heute den offiziellen Bibeltext der evangelischen Kirchen dar. Der Großteil der von der Deutschen Bibelgesellschaft verbreiteten Lutherbibeln enthält diesen Text. Darüber hinaus sind auch ältere Fassungen des Luthertextes (Luthers Ausgabe letzter Hand von 1545 sowie die wichtige Revision aus dem Jahre 1912) noch erhältlich.

Beispiele für die Revision:

Josua 1,9: Bedeutungswandel einzelner Wörter

Luther 1545: Siehe, ich hab dir geboten, dass du getrost und freidig seiest.

Luther 1984: Siehe, ich habe dir geboten, dass du getrost und unverzagt seist.

Schon bald nach Luther hatten Drucker das unverständlich gewordene Wort freidig = »kühn, mutig« kurzerhand durch das irreführende »freudig« ersetzt!

Lukas 1,1: Extrem schwieriger Satzbau

Luther 1545: Sintemal sichs viele unterwunden haben, zu stellen die Rede von den Geschichten, so unter uns ergangen sind …

Luther 1984: Viele haben es schon unternommen, Bericht zu geben von den Geschichten, die unter uns geschehen sind …

»Sintemal« heißt eigentlich »nachdem«, aber die Revision hat den Nebensatz zum Hauptsatz gemacht, da er Bestandteil einer langen und unübersichtlichen Satzperiode ist.

Jacoline Kleyn BasisBijbel (BasisBijbel)		1.7 MB	19-Feb-2018
Author(s): Jacoline Kleyn Module version: 2.1 Description: BasisBijbel - de Bijbel in makkelijk Nederlands De BasisBijbel is een Bijbel in makkelijk Nederlands, geschreven door J.Kleyn. Hij is bedoeld voor iedereen die de Bijbel liever wat makkelijker heeft. Door de woordkeus is hij heel geschikt voor beginnende Bijbellezers. En door de korte zinnen en korte woorden is hij ook goed te lezen door mensen die lezen moeilijk vinden, bijvoorbeeld vanwege dyslexie. Het werk aan de BasisBijbel begon najaar 1998 en werd afgerond voorjaar 2013. Bij het schrijven van deze Bijbel werd geprobeerd om ‘basis-Nederlands’ te gebruiken. Doel was om de Bijbel voor zoveel mogelijk mensen begrijpelijk te maken. Echte Bijbelwoorden (bijvoorbeeld zondvloed, tabernakel) zijn vervangen door gewonere (grote overstroming, tent). Hier en daar is tekst toegevoegd om een zin duidelijker te maken. Deze woorden zijn weergegeven in grijs. In aantekeningen worden dingen uitgelegd en zijn verbanden te ontdekken met andere Bijbelgedeelten. De Bijbel ging eerst van start onder de naam BasicBijbel, maar sinds oktober 2015 gaat hij verder als BasisBijbel, omdat deze naam meer duidelijkheid geeft dat het om een Nederlandstalige Bijbel gaat. De BasisBijbel mag niet als vertaling beoordeeld worden. Het is meer een 'hertaling.' De oude Statenvertaling is daarbij als uitgangspunt gebruikt. Slechts hier en daar is daarvan afgeweken en is een andere vertaling gevolgd.

Author(s): Bruce, Robert; Martyn, Henry Module version: 1.0 Description: Persian Standard Bible of 1895 The New Testament is a revision of the second edition translated by Missionary Henry Martyn in 1837. Robert Bruce then revised Martyn's New Testament and translated the entire Old Testament. The translation is generally a literal translation, and the New Testament is in the main based on the Received Text, however some places are affected by the Eclectic Greek Texts. We have corrected the verse numbering problems in this edition, so that it follows the standard verse numbering. This Bibe text is still under review and correction. این کتاب مقدس قدیمی است که بدست رابرت بروس ترجمه شده است.او عهد عتیق را به کامل ترجمه کرده و عهد جدید ترجمۀ هنری مارتین را تصحیح و برخی از کتب و رساله‌ها را از نو ترجمه کرد. این ترجمۀ تحت اللفظی می‌باشد که بسیار دقیق بوده و برای مطالعه مناسب است. متن یونانی آن بیشتر از نسخه‌های به نام متن رسیده ترجمه شده (که بهترین و کاملترین نسخه‌های یونانی هستند) اما در برخی جاها از نسخه‌های اکتشافات جدید هم کاربرده است

Bíblia de Estudo LTT: Bíblia Literal do Texto Tradicional (Massorético+Receptus), Anotada (LTT)

Author(s): Hélio de Menezes Silva
Module version: 2.5
Description:

A LTT é a Bíblia Literal do Texto Tradicional. É a tradução rigorosamente literal e precisa do Texto Tradicional (TT), para o português brasileiro, onde o TT é a soma do Texto Massorético ou TM (VT em hebraico) perfeitamente preservado em forma manuscrita através de milênios e finalmente impresso por Ben Chayyim-Bomberg (1525), e do Textus Receptus ou TR (NT em grego) perfeitamente preservado em forma manuscrita através de milênios e finalmente impresso por Erasmo (1516-1522), Stephanus, etc. O TT é a coleção das exatas palavras infalivelmente assopradas por Deus para as mentes e dedos dos escritores por Ele usados, e, depois, por Ele providencialmente preservadas com absoluta perfeição ao nível de cada til e jota, em uso ininterrupto pelos crentes de TODAS as igrejas fieis, sendo a ÚNICA base para TODAS as traduções usadas por TODOS batistas e reformados, em TODAS as línguas e nações, desde as Bíblias de Lutero-1522 e Tyndale-1525 até que, recentemente, surgiram bíblias corrompidas traduzidas a partir do Texto Crítico (TC) que (em termos práticos) é baseado em apenas 2 (dos quase 6000) manuscritos: os mais grosseiramente rasurados e corrompidos, mais contradizentes entre si e cada um dentro si mesmo.

Ler a LTT é o mais próximo possível, em português, de ler o que Deus fez ser escrito e preservado no hebraico e grego do TT.

A "Bíblia de Estudo LTT: Bíblia Literal do Texto Tradicional (Massorético+Receptus), Anotada ^(LTT)" tem quase 1700 notas de rodapé (cada uma delas de comprimento de até meia página); tem quase 5200 notas numeradas ① ② ③ ④ (com explicações tipicamente de 1 linha de comprimento) colocadas ao fim dos versos; e tem quase 8500 notinhas de até 3 palavras colocadas ~~riscadas a meia altura~~ (que eu nunca leio em voz alta) entre as próprias palavras do verso.

Quem ler esta versão estará lendo a mais literal e fiel tradução das exatas palavras do absolutamente perfeito Texto Tradicional. Afirmo que quem estudar com afinco todas as notas, de todos os tipos, poderá ganhar um entendimento de certas doutrinas e detalhes (bíblicos e teológicos) especiais que nem sempre iria aprender junto a alguns seminários, livros, e professores de teologia.
