The Bible and its Translations.
Concluded.')
The Latin Rible, or Vulgate, was first
printed on the continent of Europe iu
14G2; the Old Tcsta-mcntin Hebrew 1488,
and the New Testament in Greek about
1518. Tyndalc's translation followed in
about eight years afterwards. Ten thou
sand copies of the New Testament were
imported into England, in the space of
two years, and sold rapidly. It is un
doubtedly the host translation, except
King James's which is now universally
allowed to be the best, both for perspicui
ty, simplicity, and propriety of idiom ; but
it may be truthfully maintained, that its
style, purity, and terseness of sentiment,
has not bceu in the least spoiled, by the
high honor given to the Great Version.
The following is a specimen of Tyndalc's
translation :
And markc'. A Ccrtaync Lawere stade
vp' and tctnptcd hym sayingc: Master
what shall I do' to inherit cternall lyfe?
lie sayde vnto him : What ys written in
the lawe? How rcdest thou? And he
answered and sayde: Thou shalt lore thy
lode god' wyth all thy hert' and with all
thy soule' and with all thy strengthe' and
with all thy mynde: and thy neighbor as
thy life. And he sayd unto hym: Thou
hast answered right. This do and thou
shalt live, lie willynge to instific hym
sylfe' sayde vnto Jesus: Wrho ys then
my-neighbor?
Jesus answered and sayde: Acertaync
man descended from Jerusalem into Jeri
cho'. "And fell into the handes off theves'
whych robbed hym off bis raymcnt and
wounded hym' and departed levynge him
halfe deed. And yet chaunsed that there
came a certayne presto that same wayc'
and sawe hym' and passed by. And lyke
wyse a levite' when he was come neye to
the place' went and lokcd on hym, and
passed by. When a certayne Samaritano
as he iorneyed cam nyc vnto hym and
behelde hym, and had compassion on hym,
and cam to hym, and bounde vppe hys
wondes, and poured in wyne and oyle, and
Iaycd him on his brcastc, and brought
hym to a common hostry, anddrcst him.
And on the morowo when he departed he
tokc out two pence, and gave them to the
host and said vnto him : Take care of him,
and whatsoever thou spendest above this,
when I come agayne I will recompence
the. Which nowc of these thie thynkest
thou was neighbour unto him that fell
into the theves handes? And he auswer
ed : He that shewed mercy on hym. Then
sayd Jesus vnto hym: Goo and do thou
lyke wyse.
Tyudale's New Testament appeared, as
wo have said, in 152G, and was followed
by Coverdale's in 1535. Tt was printed
at Zurich, because Miles Coverdale was
obliged to fly from his native country,
and dwell there. He was a native of

Cranmer's, also called the Great Eible,
appeared in 1539. It was printed iu

persons, Coverdale being the chief. The

King James's Rible. This appeared in
1611. It was a labor of seven years.
Forty-seven were employed in the execu
tion of the work. Twenty five were en
gaged in the translation of the Old Testa
ment, fifteen to the New, and seven to the
Apochropha. Complaints being made to
James I. of England, on his accession to
the throne, a convocation of the Estab
lished and Puritan clergy at Hampton
Court was called; all agreeing in their
disapprobation of the-version of the
Scriptures, then most generally used.
James commissioned fifty-four of the most
learned in the university to commence a
new translation. The bishops were re
quired in this instance, to inform them
selves of all the learned men within their
dioceses, who had acquired sufficient skill
in the Greek and Hebrew languages; and
to charge them to give special assistance
fn correcting obscure passages, and to for
ward the same to those commissioned in
the great work of translation.
Seven of the persons appointed were
i absent when the labor commenced. Ox
ford, Cambridge, and Westminister wlicre
the places appointed for their ineetiug;
and when each division had finished the
part assigned to it, they all assembled,
compared their several translations, decid
ed differences, and settled upon what they
considered the best translation. When
the several divisions were finished, a gen
eral attendance was demanded, each one
reading, while all the rest held copies in
their hands. If any one objected to the
translation of any passage, the reader
stopped to allow them time for discussion,
comparison, and final decision.
King James's Rible is the Rible now
universally used, and ifis the most faith
ful translation ever accomplished.
