Do you know a website for Hebrew to English Bible translations?

Question

Or from Greek to English (New Testament). I am wanting to investigate other translations of the Hebrew words that were translated into a particular word, to hopefully gain more insight into the original meaning of what was written.

For example - In Genesis 1:28 it talks about Adam and Eve "replenishing" the Earth. So it baits the question ...was the Earth "plenished" before and had to be "re" plenished.
But going to the Hebrew word "Mole" - it doesn't mean to replenish, but rather "to fill".

I am not trying to bash the Bible - I love the Bible, I am just seeking a deeper understanding of particular words.

Answer 1

Check out this website:

http://www.geocities.com/onlinebibletranslations/

It has all kinds of things there.

You can also obtain The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures from Jehovah's Witnesses.

On one side of the page it has the Greek text, and under each line of Greek text it has the literal word-for-word English translation. Then, on the right hand column is the modern English New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures.

You mention Genesis 1:28. The New World Translation renders that as:

Further, God blessed them and God said to them: “Be fruitful and become many and fill the earth and subdue it, and have in subjection the fish of the sea and the flying creatures of the heavens and every living creature that is moving upon the earth.”

Answer 2

You will find that many Hebrew words do not have precise translations into english (or any other language). Translations, no matter how true to the original, are merely commentaries.

BTW: there is no such word as 'plenish' replenish means 'to fill up' although due to the structure of the word most think to add 'again' to the end of the definition.

Answer 3

The first five books of the Old Testament are very accurately translated from the ancient Hebrew into English in The Schocken Bible. Genesis 1:28 is translated: "God blessed them, God said to them: Bear fruit and be many and fill the earth and subdue it! ..." The Schocken Bible has been enthusiastically received by many Christian and Jewish scholars, and has a beautiful, lyrical rhythm to the translation. In Genesis 1:31 it reads: "...There was setting, there was dawning: the sixth day."

Also, cbcg.org offers a faithful New Testament translation and is now working on a companion translation for the Old Testament.

Answer 4

I don't know of a web site but a good literal, unbias translation of the Hebrew is:

In fact, the New World Translation is a scholarly work. In 1989, Professor Benjamin Kedar of Israel said:
"In my linguistic research in connection with the Hebrew Bible and translation, I often refer to the English edition as what is known as the New World Translation. In doing so, I find my feeling repeatedly confirmed that this kind of work reflects an honest endeavor to achieve an understanding of the text that is as accurate as possible. Giving evidence of a broad command of the original language, it renders the original words into a second language understandably without deviating unnecessarily from the specific structure of the Hebrew....Every statement of language allows for a certain latitude in interpreting or translating. So the linguistic solution in any given case may be open to debate. But I have never discovered in the New World Translation any biased intent to read something into the text that it does not contain."


I've found this to very accurate.

These are the 4 websites that I've looked at in the past 2 months for translation help of the ancient Hebrew. I, too, am trying to learn the true words of the first bible. I know there are more but this is enough for me now.

Good for you for wanting to dive deeper into your faith. You are in my prayers that the Holy Spirit will guide you to the Truth.

At www.blueletterbible.org, you can search all different ways, and each verse has a bunch of tiny blue squares with symbols next to it. If you were to search on Genesis 1:28 and click the blue square with the "C" in it, you would get Strong's lexicon/concordance for each word in that verse, and it shows the Hebrew words, too.

YES! Go to www.blueletterbible.com
