Chinese & Foreign Language Versions and their Translators

Introduction to this section: 4 sets of Criteria for New Testament [NT /OT ] translation.

Choice of New Testament Text - Spiritual State of Translators -

Linguistic Knowledge of Translators - History of Foreign Language Translations

The First is the New Testament Text which is used.

It seems like an obvious principle. The text of the Bible that can be used for accurate translations are as follows. There is a Received Text (Textus Receptus) for the Old Testament, and there is a Received Text (Textus Receptus) for the New Testament.

We did not invent or originate those terms and we did not determine this for ourselves. These are historically determined texts.

In the case of the New Testament, the Textus Receptus is either:

1. The Textus Receptus in Koine Greek of Stephens/ Stephanus of 1550/1551 or

2. The Textus Receptus in Koine Greek of Elzevir from 1624/1633

In the case of the Old Testament, the Textus Receptus is the 1525 Ben Hakkim / Ben Chayyim Rabbinic Bible, which is also contained in 2 more modern Hebrew Editions:

1. The Hebrew Text of Meir Letteris or

2. The Hebrew Text of Christian D. Ginsburg,

That is it. There are no other manuscripts historically that are known or that are the Received Text, the Textus Receptus.

Texts that conform their Translation to these manuscripts (and are accurately translated) will be evaluated to be Accurate. Texts that depart, contradict or do not conform to these manuscripts will be evaluated to be inadequate, corrupt, and errant.

TEXTUS RECEPTUS - NEW TESTAMENT	TEXTUS RECEPTUS - OLD TESTAMENT
In the case of the New Testament, the Textus Receptus is either: 1. The Textus Receptus in Koine Greek of Stephens/ Stephanus of 1550/1551 or 2. The Textus Receptus in Koine Greek of Elzevir from 1624/1633	In the case of the Old Testament, the Textus Receptus is the 1525 Ben Hakkim / Ben Chayyim Rabbinic Bible, which is also contained in 2 more modern Hebrew Editions: 1. The Hebrew Text of Meir Letteris or 2. The Hebrew Text of Christian D. Ginsburg,

Questions about Chinese Versions or other Foreign Language Edition

Many people today seem unaware of the fact that there have been many translation already attempted

and produced in Chinese or Chinese dialects. We refer to the translations of the 1800s.

It is customary in English to study and learn about the different versions in the English Language in order to be more familiar with the entire history of a translation, in order to be able to evaluate it more accurately.

Questions dealing with Translations of Bible remain valid no matter what language the Bible is translated into.

It is important to learn the specifics of each Translation, with the greatest amount of detail possible.

The questions about EACH and Version should include the following:

1. The name of the Version

2. The name of the Primary Translator

3. When the Translation was first Printed and made available for the Public

And

4. The names of ALL of the Translators

5. The names of ALL of the people designaged a stylists (a modern term for corrector)

6. The names of ALL of the people who played any role in the Translation

7. The names of ALL of the native assistants who helped in the Translation

8. The names of Anyone who read or corrected or suggested corrections to the translation prior to publication

9. The educational background or the linguistic knowledge (or area of expertise) of Each person named, who

was involved (directly or indirectly) with the Translation.

10. The Authorship or works listed, of anyone who was involved with the Translation (any book or article that they wrote before, during or after their assistance in the Translation project)

11. Specific inquiry into whether the New Testament version (or portion thereof) was translated by the SAME people who ALSO translated the OLD Testament, or whether the Old Testament (or portions thereof) were translated by different translators, different translation teams, different translation directords, different missions, different sponsors, etc.

12. The name of the Board or Organization that sponsored the Translation

13. The names of all Financial underwritters, supporters or sponsors of the Translation

14. The name of any supervisor or person to whom the Primary Translator was accountable for the Translation

15. The name of any Bible Society (one or more) involved with the Translation

16. The description of the nature of the involvement of the Bible Society with the Translation

17. The description of whether the Responsibility for the Translation rested finally with

a) the Primary Translator

b) the Translation Team,

c) the Bible Society [or sponsoring organization]

d) the Printer or Publisher

18. The names of Board of Directors of the Bible Society (or sponsoring agency) as it was composed during the time of Translation

19. The names Board of Directors for a PARTICULAR REGION or PARTICULAR AREA (within the Bible Society or sponsoring agency) if those person are different from the main Board of Directors of the Bible Society.

____________________________________

The Real Question is what are you going to do with the information that was presented in this article.

Is the Information True ?

Is the Information Accurate ?

Is the Information documented ?

Do I - before God - have a responsibility if I am a Christian to accept and act on the information in this article ?

Am I comfortable in the knowledge, that some leaders under the guise of clarifying the text of the Bible, are actually changing that text, and changing MY understanding of what God wants to share with me through His Holy Word, the Old Testament and the New Testament ?

Do I understand that these "small" changes number from the hundreds to the THOUSANDS depending on which Modern Versions I use, and that these changes serve to cut away the clarity and the specific understanding found in the Greek New Testament, that these new modern versions are preventing me from understanding ?

Do I understand that most of these new Modern Versions were not developed because there was a genuine need, but because the teams of Bible Translators were Hired by PUBLISHING companies who are eager to make a profit on the Word of God, which remains the Number ONE bestseller every week of every year, and that these Publishers decided to cash in ?

Do I understand that the problem was that if these Bible Adjusters and Correctors did NOT make the changes that they chose to, that they would not be able to claim copyright protection, and therefore they would not be able to make a financial Profit from their new versions ?

Do I understand that there are Spiritual Forces that want to prevent me from having GREATER spiritual understanding about God, but that God himself is always in MORE of a hurry than I am, for Me to get to know HIM ?

Do I realize what my personal state of preparation will be, within me, when Islam becomes the Dominant Religion in the United States, as it is already in Europe, and how I will personally be required to defend my Faith, by argument and persuasion, using knowledge of the Bible and of History and of Christianity, and that God will rightly hold me accountable because I am claiming to be His Child and a personal follower of Jesus Christ ?

In view of these facts, should I try to set aside more time for the study of the Word of God, and more time for the study of History and the true history of the Christian Church, and to learn about how other Christians in the past, actually learned to have and to gain GREAT spiritual strength ?

If no one reaches out to help prepare me for the coming challenges, whose job is it STILL for me to be prepared to answer these challenges and questions ?
