Biblical translations
Biblical translations involve converting the original texts of the Bible, mainly written in Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek, into modern languages so that people can understand and access its teachings. Various translations aim to balance accuracy to the original text with readability. Some translations are more literal, while others prioritize conveying the meaning in contemporary terms. Examples include the King James Version, known for its poetic language, and the New International Version, which focuses on clarity. Each translation reflects different theological perspectives and intended audiences, contributing to the rich tapestry of biblical literature.
