Description

I have created an Open Source style addendum to the World English Bible which incorporates these differences in opinion. I've brought the books that I draw from other sources into this version from translations directly from those other sources. For Matthew, I use my own translation. For Tobit, I have updated the language of Adolf Neubauer's translation to contemporary English. For Paul's letters and 1 Peter, I'm using the translation of George Lamsa, which according to my best research should now be in the Public Domain and has been made freely available electronically by the Aramaic Bible Society. Any of these can be used without permission from anyone. So my challenge to other amateur Bible translators with minority opinions is, use what's here and make your own Open Source translation. Fix what's broken and make it whole. Find those places where my presuppositions are not sufficiently nuanced and make something better, and release that into the world so that someone else can improve on what you've done. Unless specifically stated otherwise, the World English Bible based on the Mesocratic Text for the Tanach, Septuagint for the deuterocanonical books, and the Majority Text for the New Testament is used. In Paul's letters, Hebrews, and 1 Peter I use George Lamsa's translation from the Aramaic Peshitta. In the Gospel of Matthew, I use my own translation from Hebrew Manuscript 132 from the National Library of Paris. In the Book of Tobit, I use my own translation, which is an update of Adolf Neubauer's translation from am Aramaic edition.
