Bible Question: I was wondering, between the LBLA, RV 1909/1960, VP, NVI, and RVA, which Spanish bible is accurite? |
Bible Answer: Note on Bible Translations: We English-speaking peoples are singularly blessed (or cursed?) with virtually an infinite number of translations and, of much less significance, paraphrases of the Bible. But there remains much translation work to be done, especially in languages other than English. Some people on this earth have no Bible at all in their native tongue. Many others have but one translation in their own language. The Lockman Foundation, sponsors of this forum, have done and continue to do an exemplary job in making a reliable translation of God's word available to peoples of other lands, other tongues..... I don't know three words of Spanish, but I know a great deal about Lockman and consequently am prepared to believe that their translation of the Bible into Spanish (the LBLA) bears the same hallmarks of fidelity to the original tongues as the NASB does...... There are differences in translations in other languages just as there are in English. For example, I know enough German to get by. Just the other day I skimmed a new German translation of the New Testament that is rendered in contemporary German somewhat along the lines of the Good News Bible. Even I whose German is mediocre at best could see a vast difference between this version and Martin Luther's. --Hank |
