biblical translations
Holy text versions
Biblical translations are versions of the Bible rendered from Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek into other languages.
Because the original texts are ancient and ambiguous in places, translations differ significantly in approach—some aim for word-for-word accuracy, others for readability or theological interpretation.
Which biblical translation do you use?
Debates over translation choices can be heated, as wording affects doctrine.
