Must Be Faithful Reproduction.
But the new translation is above all
to be as faithful a reproduction Of the
original as is consonant with the genius
of the English language. Not that any
attempt will be made to produce literal
version. AS a matter of fact, literal
translations and faithful translations are
not one and the same thing. A literal
translation may render words, even syl-
lables: but as men do not speak in de-
tached words, but In sentences, that
translation is the most effective which
aims at conveying the sense rather than
the words. While the English versions
abound in English idioms which fell
citiously express the sense Of the original,
they are far from being free or para
phrastic translations The English trans
lators. 1t seems. struck a heavy medium
between the slavishly literal and the free
rendering which approached the char
acter of an exposition. And so the Eng
lsh versions have retained many so-called
Hebraisms. which have become part and
parcel of the English language. and are
understood in their English garb quite
as much as in the original.
Thus in general style the new trans
lation means to follow in the footsteps Of
its predecessors. While 1t will retain the
commonly accepted Hebraisms, 1t will be-
ware OF creating new ones. Aside from
style. however. 1t will indeed seek to re-
produce the original more faithfully than
the English translations current in the
church 1t is not necessary to mention
trifiing deviations from the Hebrew text
tacit emendationS, as we call them, which
after all concern only trif1es and receive
their justification from the exigencies OF
the translator. which are the same in all
climes and times. Thus there may be
slight incongruity in number or person. or
a similar difficulty of construction in the
original which a translator cannot fol-
low but will seek to smooth over In the
line of least resistance.
The "Ketib" and the "Kere."
But a very curious fact Is this. that
the two English versions on the whole ex-
press in the text OF the translation the So
called keith and not the 'kere.' BY the
keith is meant the written Hebrew text,
which, as is well known. Is consonantal.
Thus are the ancient scrolls written
When they are read by the reader the
vowels are supplied from memory. Now
in the majority of cases the reader pro-
nounces the consonants slightly at vari-
ance with those in the text. To cite an
example. Joshua 3:16. the text has the
consonants BETH 'aleth,' 'dalets. mem
That would read. 'beadam.' at Adam
But the reader is enioined to read
meadam.' from Adam. The English Bible
puts at Adam in the texts and records
on the margin. as an alternate reading,
