The Berean Bible Translation Committee is comprised of members of the Bible Hub and Discovery Bible teams. Since we believe that a translation must be directly connected to the Greek and Hebrew roots, the tools and data for these connections will be made freely available as well. While a copyright is necessary so there are not multiple variants of the same version, we intend to enable royalty-free publishing of digital resources and generous licensing for use in print.
HEBREW ENGLISH GREEK INTERLINEAR BIBLE FULL
The translation is designed to bring out the full meaning, intensity, and clarity of the original Greek and Hebrew sources.Īnother significant goal of the project is to share a Bible text that is as free as possible from licensing and publishing constraints. The Berean Emphasized Bible is under construction for both the New and Old Testaments, and will be a wonderful tool for readers, students, teachers, and pastors alike. Additionally, the Study Bible makes generous use of section headings and paragraph formatting, to meet the needs of the modern reader.Īs work on the BSB progressed, the desire arose to further and more fully express the emphases, nuances, and style of the original texts. All links and paths back through the translation process are maintained, as the Study Bible links back to each literal rendering and Greek root. Quite importantly, it was required that the translation stay consistent with core meanings of the original source. This method ensured that as literal a text as possible would be maintained, while offering a syntax and flow that are well suited as a modern literary tool. This process involved seven full rounds of editing that sought to develop a text with a high literary quality that does not compromise accuracy.
The goal was to maintain a high level of readability along with core meaning integrity. Sentence structure is maintained so that, in general, the flow of the longer Greek sentences is not interrupted in the translation to the literal version.Īs the interlinear and literal versions were refined, they were strenuously transformed into a smooth text in modern English. Pronouns that represent Deity are capitalized for clearer study of difficult passages (This format is maintained from the Interlinear and through the Study Bible).Ħ. Gender is translated to be consistent with the Greek sources (This is also maintained in the Interlinear and Study Bibles).ĥ. All tags from the interlinear are maintained so that the word for word translation can be connected back to each element of the original text.Ĥ. Tense, mood, and voice of verbs are maintained as closely as possible.ģ. Parts of speech match as closely as possible in translation from Greek to English.Ģ. Some of the features of the Literal Bible are as follows:ġ. In most instances, this text closely follows the interlinear. The second step in the translation process was the development of a word for word English word order text. Punctuation: Both the Greek text source and, separately, the English gloss are punctuated to assist in reading and understanding. Morphology: Part of Speech – Person, Tense, Mood, Voice – Case, Number, Gender, Comparisonħ. The following are elements for each word of the interlinear:ģ. The basis for the interlinear text is the Biblos Interlinear, developed over several years and now refined by the translation committee. This text also contains complete parsing tags, as well as Strong’s numbers to for easy reference to Greek lexicons. The interlinear gloss is a word for word, Greek word order rendering based on the most reliable Greek sources. For example, since languages often do not translate in a one to one fashion, in many cases the multiple tiers express a fuller or corresponding meaning, as well as both a “word for word” and “thought for thought” rendering. The three levels are also provide support by enhancing the expression of meaning on multiple levels. The tools and databases include resources such as Strong’s Lexicon to make the translation process transparent even to those without extensive training in Greek and Hebrew. Translation Process: Greek and Hebrew Sources > Interlinear Bible > Literal Bible > Study Bible > Emphasized BibleĪll sources are freely available and linked through to the original source, making the multi-tiered translation process an “open translation.” In other words, the source behind the translation is clear and available to all. An emphasized translation to bring out the full meaning and intensity of the original texts. A modern English translation, effective for public reading, memorization, and evangelism.Ĥ. A literal translation to take the reader to the core of the Greek and Hebrew meanings.ģ. An interlinear Bible to directly follow the Greek and Hebrew texts.Ģ.
