Translations
The American Heritage Dictionary defines a translation as "the act or process
of translating, especially from one language to another."
Because most people who want to read the Bible have not learned how to read
the original Hebrew and Greek there is an obvious need for translations of the
Scriptures into every language in the world. Our desire is to study the English
translations or versions and their progressive revisions and improvements as new
resources develop.
The English language continues to change. Since the first English translation
of the Bible, the language has changed so much that it barely seems
intelligible today. The language is still changing, with new words and expressions coming
in and old ones going out.
Because the Bible being the message of God to manis so important to be
understood properly it should be made available with the best versions possible, which
will reproduce in the modern language, the thought of the original. This will
therefore clear the way for a person to find out for himself what the Bible has
to say.
