Bible Question (short): Mt 5:22 Why is "Raca" removed from NASB? |
Question (full): I'm perplexed by the updated NASB's rendering for "Raca" in Matthew 5:22 as "good-for-nothing." Why not just leave it as the older NASB and NIV, NKJV ("Raca") instead of attempting to come up with a translation that is not entirely in keeping with 1)the NASB literal translation philosophy, and 2) the Aramaic meaning of the term ("good-for-nothing" is very weak) as opposed to the much better footnote rendering "empty-head" which would've given a more accurate sense. Or better yet, retain the original NASB's "Raca" and footnote the possible meanings?? |
