But I believe that Jewish scholars are just as capable as Christian or Muslim or other scholars of translating accurately, and that is the bottom line here. Any other meaning, including a prophetic connection to Matt. Genuine Bible translation should not transculturate or contextualize the Bible. We need to leave historical references and other facts just as they are in the biblical source texts. We then leave the accurately translated text for those who would help people apply it to themselves within their own historical and cultural contexts.
Translation is a very different act from exposition.
At all time, accuracy is the highest priority. Next, IMO, is naturalness of language in the translation to the target language. I am unashamedly a Christian. I happen to be very conservative theologically. I personally find many Messianic prophecies in the Hebrew Bible, but I do so because I am a Christian, not because I am a Bible translator.
