1 | spanish translation of the Septuagint? | Bible general Archive 2 | EdB | 114547 | ||
I think Hank offered an excellent suggestion. Check with Lockman their NASB is an excellent translation in English and I know they do a Spanish translation also. As I said before the Septuagint is the Old Testament in Greek. I would thin any Spanish translation of the Old Testament would be based on the Septuagint already. Is there something in particular you interested in? The Tanakh written by the Jewish Publicaton Society is a very literal tranlation of the Old Testament based primarily on the Septuagint. EdB |

Thanks for the reply. I already tried to contact Lockman without success. Anyway, I am interested in having a spanish translation to readit and to check an spanish article: http://www.yourarmstoisrael.org/Articles_new/espanol/El_Factor_LXX.php that states that the septuagint is better than the Masoretic Text as stated in R. Grant Jones’ HomePage at Notes on the Septuagint: http://home.earthlink.net/ rgjones3/ Thanks, Lorenzo |

Lorenzo Since I don't read Spanish I can't make anything out of the website you referred to. However understand if you get a Spanish translation of the Septuagint your still at the mercy of the Spanish interpreter. By that I mean the translator that translates any work has a profound effect on the overall flow and understanding of the work. That is why I only recommend Bible translations done by recognized in the field. So unless you can find a translation of the Septuagint done by recognized linguistical and theological experts that followed the similar procedures as the translators of the Masoretic Text you would be unable to accurately identify an error. I believe there is a Spanish translation of the Bible done by Wycliff Bible Translation team. If you can get a copy of that I would think you would have probably one of the most accurate copies of the Old Testament done by Spanish translators. However I do know if they translated exclusively from the Septuagint or used other manuscripts, but you could probably ask them. EdB |

The Jewish Publication Society translation is based on the oldest existing complete Hebrew Masoretic text, the Leningrad Codex created in about 1010 A.D. . The Septuagint was a translation from Hebrew to Greek of the Tanakh. The Septuagint is very important since the translation was prior to 200 BC. The dead sea scrolls oldest fragment dates to about 270 BC. The Dead Sea scrolls have some texts that agree primarily with the Hebrew Masoretic texts and some are closer the the Septuagint readings. The Latin Vulgate was translated from the Septuagint. All Catholic Bibles will have the texts that are in the Septuagint but not in Hebrew in a Deuterocanonical section that Protestants call the Apocrypha. The Latin Vulgate was translated into Castilian in 1280 and is called the Alfonsina Bible. Other Spanish translations as early as 1430 follow the Hebrew text. The Old Testament in Protestant Bibles follow the order of books in the Septuagint but contain only the text in the Hebrew Tanakh. Wycliff Bible Translators make translations into languages that don't have one. Their translators don't have to know the original Biblical languages. The translators must sign a doctrinal statement. Their primary contribution would be creating a written language where it didn't exist before. They are very skilled at figuring out a language that no outsider knows. |
