by Sean Finnegan • Today after a quick review and an appeal to learn the biblical languages, I’ll recommend a number of Bible translations. Although I’m hesitant to do this, so many have written in asking for it that I would be negligent to avoid making some recommendations in this last episode. Additionally, we’ll cover a list of 7 verses you can use to check translations accuracy. • —— Verses to Check for Translation Accuracy —— • Genesis 4.8 Cain says “Let’s go into the field” (SP, LXX, Syriac, Vulgate) • Isaiah 53.11 “he shall see light” not “he shall see it” (DSS, LXX) • 1 Samuel 14.41 does it say “Urim?” (LXX) • Psalm 145.13 is it 2 sentences or just 1? (DSS, LXX, Syriac) • Honesty about Mark 16.9-20 and John 7.53-8.11 • Revelation 22.19 “tree of life” not “book of life” • Matthew 2.2 “pay homage” not “worship” • —— Recommended Translations —— • Jewish Publication Society Tanakh (JPS): dynamic equivalence from Jewish perspective • English Standard Version (ESV): formal equivalence from evangelical perspective • New English Translation (NET): dynamic equivalence from evangelical perspective • New American Bible (NAB): dynamic equivalence from Roman Catholic perspective • New Revised Standard Version (NRSV): formal equivalence from a mainline/liberal perspective • —— Biased Translations to Avoid —— • Message Bible (MSG): extreme dynamic equivalence • Passion Translation (PT): extreme dynamic equivalence • New Living Translation (NLT): dynamic equivalence • —— Outdated Translations —— • 1769 King James Version (KJV): formal equivalence • 1982 New King James Version (NKJV): formal equivalence • 1995 New American Standard Bible (NASB): formal equivalence • any versions not taking into account the Dead Sea Scrolls (see verses above to check) • For more information visit lhim.org • Produced by Spark Foster Films • http://www.sparkandfoster.com • Crafted stories.
