mikeall Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 For our work as missionaries in Spanish cultures we find the New Living Translation version in spanish is very handy and desired. Our local book stores can't get enough as they are sold as soon as they come in. I think then that the Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV) from Tyndale house would get more Spanish speakers using Accordance. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chuck Schneider Posted August 12, 2013 Share Posted August 12, 2013 The NLT in German (Neues Leben: Die Bibel) would also be very interesting. I bought the epub and imported it last year, but my attempt was still kind of messy and the import features were kind of limited. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nwichmann Posted April 27, 2015 Share Posted April 27, 2015 I preach at a church that uses The Inclusive Bible and it would be immensely helpful for me not to have to manually retype from their small print. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alistair Posted April 29, 2015 Share Posted April 29, 2015 Moffat for the bagpipes, but how will Accordance handle the way he reorders passages of Scripture? I guess you wouldn't. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

edbeach Posted May 6, 2017 Share Posted May 6, 2017 The Spanish / Español Bible offerings needs to be expanded to reflect the state of things in that area of the world. I would very much like to see the following Bibles added to Accordance resources, not just as a package but for a la carte purchase: La Nueva Traducción Viviente (NTV), and La Biblia Hispanoamericano Traducción Interconfesional (BHTI). The former (which was requested on the Accordance forum several years ago by someone from Spain that noted its popularity) is offered by OliveTree in the iOS Bible+ app (which is how I currently have to use it since it is not available in Accordance, but which I would repurchase if Accordance offered it), and the latter is available on the Internet. At issue is that in much of the world, Spanish versions are needed for offline use where online use is problematic. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many of them were used by past generations and can help those of us students interested in the progression of theology from the past. Also, as someone learning Koine, most modern translations are done by committee and they vote on what translation they are accepting. I have heard B. Mounce and a few others discuss their suggestions as being "voted down." I am bilingual, English/Spanish (and working on Italian). I know the difficultly in translating from one language to another. Do I translate literally translate filthy stinking rich, (never), give an English equivalent (very wealthy), or look for a Spanish idiom? (I always opt for "podrido en plata," rotten in silver because it carries the same meaning.) These translations made by individuals help me see what another translators might do without having to consult a committee. (Yes, they can and probably do make mistakes and allow personal biases to guide their translating.) But that's part of the lesson. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Yes, they can and probably do make mistakes and allow personal biases to guide their translating.) But that's part of the lesson. Interesting remarks. FWIW, I was part of a translating team a few years back for the revision of a French translation that's now been released. Yes, there are times when your rendering of a phrase or verse is not retained. There were a few cases where I had to write up a detailed justification for the translation I was proposing. Sometimes a proposed translation would end up as a marginal note (e.g., "can also be translated as..."). And there were a couple of cases where I went back and forth with the editors for the way such and such a verse should be translated—and where I was the one saying, "Yes, but the Greek says that!" And sometimes, due to the ambiguity of the text, another rendering was retained. All in all, I personally found that the committee approach obligated me to seek the greatest faithfulness possible to the text. I would tend to say that a committee approach—which is never simply a majority vote but always goes along with discussions about the original languages—is overall the surest way to a good translation. My two cents worth. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
josephbradford Posted March 14, 2023 Share Posted March 14, 2023 Proverbs says in the multitude of counselors there is safety. I agree with you the best way for a good translation will be a committee approach. For learning a new language examining the text they use along with their handling of it has helped. Beale has an excellent class at Gordon on the old in the new. I love to watch him work the original languages with his students. AS Worrell made an interesting statement that sent me down this path. Concerning Mark 11:22 he said, if faith in God had been the thought, there would have been an easier way in the Greek to express it. And….. he didn’t say what that way was. lol you can’t make a statement like that and leave us hanging. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unless πίστις + genitive was a fairly frequent way of expressing faith/trust in a person or object (it was). 😀 Enjoy your studies! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
