Bible translator
Sacred text linguist
A Bible translator renders biblical texts from their original Hebrew, Greek, and Aramaic into other languages.
The work requires both linguistic expertise and theological sensitivity, as translation choices carry doctrinal weight: The Bible translator spent months on a single verse.
Bible translators often work in teams, sometimes spending decades on a single translation project.
