Bible Note: Greetings Truthfinder! Sorry about calling you Truthseeker! I got confused! :-) If you read to the bottom of my previous post, you will find that I also listed the translators of the NASB. They are not anonymous. One can certainly find fault with any translation at some point or another. You mention that you have had some training in languages. If this is so, then you know that translation usually involves some degree of 'art' as well as science. I may not always agree with every translation choice in every translation. However, the translators are known, as are their qualifications. In fact, most of the modern translators publish entire books describing how and why they translated in the manner they did. But, agree or not on every point, we know who they are and whether or not they are qualified to translate. There have been 'leaks' from former JW's about who actually 'translated' the NWT. Based on those leaks, it does not appear that anyone who was actually qualified to translate was involved in the translation. The 'hidding' of their identifies is one problem with the NWT, but the major problem is the 'translation' itself. Words are added that are not found in or supported by the text in any way. Verbs are translated in impossible ways. New verb forms are invented, as in John 8:58 where one writer called 'eimi' a 'perfect indicative', of which there is no such thing in Greek! The NWT is not really a translation at all! Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
