Yeah I'll give it just that one, though resounding gong isn't too bad. Certainly doesn't make up for "tinkling cymbal"

Anybody know in the movie Hackers (1995) when Matthew Lillard quotes 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 verse 11?

That part always makes me laugh.

The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.


1 The Lord is my shepherd, I lack nothing.
2 He makes me lie down in green pastures,
he leads me beside quiet waters,
3 he refreshes my soul.
He guides me along the right paths
for his name’s sake.
4 Even though I walk
through the darkest valley,[a]
I will fear no evil,
for you are with me;
your rod and your staff,
they comfort me.
5 You prepare a table before me
in the presence of my enemies.
You anoint my head with oil;
my cup overflows.
6 Surely your goodness and love will follow me
all the days of my life,
and I will dwell in the house of the Lord
forever.


How is this even a contest?

Now I am become brass, the tinkling of cymbals.

Whenever someone accuses me of doing something stupid when I was younger I like to quote that verse. Usually gets a bemused laugh.

>>9840482
This (and other newer translations, like NRSV) is fine mostly. The only true error is "valley of the shadow of death" being replaced with "darkest valley".

The KJV is actually a bit more literal, which I think was the intended image (i.e. not simply a dark valley, but one that forebodes death).

https://sites.google.com/site/literaltranslationofthebible/psalms/psa-22

https://sites.google.com/site/literaltranslationofthebible/job/job-33
(see verses 33:18 and 33:30 here and in your own versions for examples of "of-a-death" might be translated from Hebrew)

If anything, the "valley" image is extraneous and not found in the original text. "Though I might walk into the shadow of death, I will fear no evil ..." would be the most accurate translation.

>>9840433
I'll bet you think that the emoji Shakespeare books are improvements on the original too.

Lattimore is the best. The fact that one man can produce a more accurate and better sounding translation than entire research/translation groups is astounding

That's because translations like the NRSV are heavily politicized, they're purposely made as boring as humanly possible.

NRSV:
"As the fat is set apart from the offering of well-being, so David was set apart from the Israelites. He played with lions as though they were young goats, and with bears as though they were lambs of the flock. In his youth did he not kill a giant, and take away the people’s disgrace, when he whirled the stone in the sling and struck down the boasting Goliath?"

Knox:
"Only the fat from the sacrifice, only David out of all Israel; the Lord must have ever the best! Here was one that would use lion or bear as playthings for his sport, tussle with them as if they had been yearling lambs. Such was his boyhood; and who but he should save the honour of his people, by slaying the giant? He had but to lift his hand, and the stone aimed from his sling brought low the pride of Goliath."

Biblet here. What is the Message translation from and about?

>I am become
I had a cool french professor who used this as an example of antiquated grammatical leftovers of French in English. Most people recognize it the most from Oppenheimer quoting the Bhagavad-Gita.
French's passé composé tense is the equivalent of the English "I have run" or "I have touched" and most verbs translate directly to French like that with the French words for "I have" ("j'ai [past participle]"). But some verbs require the French words for "I am" ("je suis [past participle]") instead, like "I am died" ("je suis mort") instead of "I have died." English apparently used to have that same irregularity, but over time it disappeared.

You think that's bad? Check out this

Authorized version: “And straightway coming up out of the water, he saw the heavens opened, and the Spirit like a dove descending upon him. And there came a voice from the heaven saying, Thou art my beloved Son, in whom I am well pleased.”

New: “As he was climbing up the bank again, the sun shone through a gap in the clouds. At the same time a pigeon flew down and perched on him. Jesus took this as a sign that God’s spirit was with him. A voice from overhead was heard saying, ‘That’s my boy! You’re doing fine!'”

KJV: “Now concerning the things whereof ye wrote unto me: [It is] good for a man not to touch a woman. Nevertheless, [to avoid] fornication, let every man have his own wife, and let every woman have her own husband.”

New: “Some of you think the best way to cope with sex is for men and women to keep right away from each other. That is more likely to lead to sexual offences. My advice is for everyone to have a regular partner.”

KJV: “I say therefore to the unmarried and widows, It is good for them if they abide even as I. But if they cannot contain, let them marry: for it is better to marry than to burn.”

New: “If you know you have strong needs, get yourself a partner. Better than being frustrated.”

>>9840921
It's a "translation" of the bible from a layperson that's intended to be a tool for evangelism. Basically the guy rewrote an existing New Testament to be more "plain English" and understandable to someone who just picked a copy off the street. The guy does not claim it's inspired or anything, but it can still be a problematic text given that it can remove meaning through simplification, etc. Ideally (according to him) it would just be used as a learning tool to help people convert and they would then move to an official translation for personal use.

>>9840992
But now I show you a way that is even better. If I speak with the tongues of men and angels, but have no love, all I am is sounding bronze or a clashing cymbal. And if I have the gift of of prophecy and know all mysteries and all understanding, and if I have faith entire so as to move mountains, and I have no love, I am nothing. And if I give all I have in alms, and if I give my body to be burned, and have no love, it does me no good. Love is patient, is kind, love has no jealousy, does not swagger, has no pride, is not immodest, does not look for its own advantage, is not stirred to anger, does not keep count of evil done, is not happy over wrongdoing, shares the happiness of the truth; all-sustaining, all-faithful, all-hopeful, all-enduring. Love never fails. If there are prophecies, they will come to nothing; if there are speeches, they will be stopped; if there is understanding, it will come to nothing. For we understand in part and we prophesy in part; but when completeness comes, what is in part will vanish away. When I was a child, I spoke as a child, and thought as a child, and reasoned as a child; now that I am a man, I am through with childish things. For now we see by a mirror, obscurely; but then face to face. Now I know in part; but then I will know in full, as I myself am fully known. And now there remain faith, hope, love; these three; but the greatest of these is love.

My question is the "soup of nothingness" bit. I don't see how this is any less confusing. It also feels like it's pulling from Hinduism, which would be a weird choice.

Recently I've been enjoying the Wycliffe Bible:

13 If I speak with tongues of men and of angels, and I have not charity, I am made as brass sounding, or a cymbal tinkling.

2 And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries, and all knowing [and all knowing, or science], and if I have all faith, so that I move hills from their place [so that I bear over hills from one place to another], and I have not charity, I am nought.

3 And if I part all my goods into the meats of poor men, and if I betake my body, so that I burn, and if I have not charity, it profiteth to me nothing.

4 Charity is patient, it is benign; charity envieth not, it doeth not wickedly, it is not blown [it is not in-blown with pride],

5 it is not covetous [of worships], it seeketh not those things that be his own [it seeketh not those things that be her own], it is not stirred to wrath, it thinketh not evil,

6 it joyeth not on wickedness, but it joyeth together to truth; [it joyeth not in wickedness, forsooth it joyeth together with truth;]

7 it suffereth all things, it believeth all things, it hopeth all things, it sustaineth all things.

8 Charity falleth never down, whether prophecies shall be voided, either languages shall cease, either science shall be destroyed [whether prophecies shall be voided, or languages shall cease, or science shall be destroyed].

9 For a part we know, and a part we prophesy; [For of part we know, and of part we prophesy;]

10 but when that shall come that is perfect, that thing that is of part shall be voided.

11 When I was a little child, I spake as a little child, I understood as a little child, I thought as a little child; but when I was made a man, I voided those things that were of a little child.

12 And we see now [Forsooth we see now] by a mirror in darkness, but then face to face; now I know of part, but then I shall know, as [and] I am known.

13 And now dwelleth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the most of these is charity.

>>9843081
>charity

In the bin it goes

>>9843160

"love" is equally bad; the ancients, both Latin and Greek, had several different words that described what we today call by one, and caritas is the closest to what Christians would call God's love, which is being treated of in this passage.

>>9843341
No it isn't you retard. The Western European concept of a singular totalizing love is the only term which could approach divine love. The homo-pedophilic Greeks were simply linguistically inferior in this regard as was to be expected from its reflection in their degenerate promiscuity.

You shouldn't trust the bible anyway.

>>9843428
What an absurd article, he's writing as revelatory what most Catholics were aware of as children. It was the Judaic expectation that the messiah would be a new King David who would reclaim the holy land. However the direction of Christ's work made clear he had no such interest in such a position. His temptation by the devil during the fasting in the wilderness explicates this extremely clearly.
Although I will say its not that Christ, like say the Buddha was not interested in politics, but that his interests were super-political.

>>9843443
He isn't wrong about one aspect, even the Catholic church greatly deemphasizes this side of Jesus.

>>9843476
Well I think then it'll be far more interesting to display how this aspect is de-emphasized more than it is apparent in the text.

All of the poetry is heavyhandedly drained from the modernization, it's disgusting. Not to mention important changes in the OP like turning "charity" to "love." New translations were a mistake.

Dingus the Bible was not written in English. The King James Bible was already an act of modernization, the newer ones are simply more refined and considered

I read the Bible in Serbian, but KJV is superior in every way now that I think about it. I should read it in English too.

Translating almah as “young woman” instead of “virgin.” isn't technically a mistranslation but the equivalent of declaring yourself a ultra-modernist liberal.

Open up biblegateway on that verse and compare all the translations of this verse, take note of the ones that translate it as young women, then do 2 minutes of research on whose behind them.

Get how it can be politicized now?

>>9843845
That makes sense.

>>9843870
Another more difficult example is "1 Corinthians 11:4-7", some bibles like the NIV provide a alternative translation in the footnotes that radically alters the meaning and spirit of the original text.

>>9841045
Unironically very soothing

>>9843920
I'm getting the impression that I should probably stick to the King James's Bible at first, then maybe get the annotated New Annotated Oxford Bible, to get an in-depth Bible study going while lowering the risk of politicization. Maybe even learn ancient Greek and read it for myself.

Well that's a whole new problem, Study bibles like the NOAB provide a secular criticism interpretation of the Bible (utilizing what most other fields would consider pseudo-science), they don't really provide a understanding of Christianity from a theist, philosophical or theologians point of view so you'll probably also need a catechism or two.

pic related is a good combination of a catechism and the RSV2CE.

Good goy

so many actors have no clue what that means and butcher the scene

>>9844188

That one uses the RSV-CE and not the RSV2 which is a good thing because the first RSV doesn't use that gender neutral language.

I remember a long, long time ago someone ran the entire /b/ board wordfilter at the time, through a text document of the bible. "And" had been replaced replaced with "ummm,uhhh" so I remember Jesus sounding very uncofident. I can't find it anywhere though and a google search doesn't really go back far enough.

You could just grab a text version and run the filter yourself. Hint: Project Gutenberg, Ctrl+H

Do you have a former education in philology? If not, you are already in someone else's hand.

Honestly I wouldn't mind seeing side-by-side "translations" like this. Kind of like what they do with Chaucer's stuff. Allows you to appreciate the original text with a greater, demystified understanding. Hopefully would leader to better acting too.
