English alone has many translations. The Bible was in Greek, Aramaic, and Hebrew originally.
A millenium or so ago, the Catholic church translated it to Latin but not into the language of the people so as not to degrade the Holiness of the Bible.
Around the 1500s, rebel theologians translated the Bible into common day languages - Dutch, German, and a few others. Those translators were excommunicated, drawn, quartered, burnt alive .. and then asked to repent (well, maybe not that bad, but you get the idea)
In English, one of the first Bibles was the one authorised by King James (called the King James version or the Autherised version). That's the one with all the Thees and Thous.

Some were to compliment different denominations. Some were attempts to make the Bible easier to read. Some were translations of translations.

the dominion Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures and the type new international Translation are 2 particular books. in case you will take it slow to utilize the dominion Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures and study it with the type new international Translation, you are going to discover a great volume of variations. even nonetheless Jehovah's Witnesses evaluate constructive that the Society has restored God's suitable call "Jehovah" in the process the type new testomony, they'd desire to sense extra self assurance interior the undeniable fact that no-one is exactly sparkling as to the superb thank you to pronounce "YHWH". we are little question now not good right here to teach how the way "YHWH" would desire to be suggested or that Jehovah's Witnesses pronunciation is defective. What does have have been given to be addressed is how they use this term and their defective insertions of it for the dimensions of the type new testomony . even nonetheless the term "YHWH" seems in the previous testomony, it rather is the Society's devious reason on the back of their insertions of the identify Jehovah interior the type new testomony that would desire to be examined. their very own e-newsletter (Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Greek Scriptures), proves the be conscious "Jehovah" does now not seem in the standard Greek text fabric. The Watchtower Society has intentionally inserted the call Jehovah have been Lord seems in the type new testomony to help their polytheist ideals that Jesus is in simple terms not Jehovah, for this reason rejecting the deity of Christ. according to probability inadvertently, they admitted to the undeniable fact that no Greek manuscripts incorporate God's become conscious of: there are this way of extensive volume of variations and distortions interior of the two books that i would not have enogh room right here to record the completed adjustments. i will word that the region ever the bible is distinctive to thier doctrine they made the diversities. Thier doctrine was once set formerly than their NWT became into written and occasional and behold it suits to the tee. Wow what slightly of hard paintings, suitable!
