New page

The '''New Jerusalem Bible''' ('''NJB''') is a [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] translation of the [[Bible]] published in 1985 and edited by The Reverend [[Henry Wansbrough]], O.S.B., monk of Ampleforth Abbey in North Yorkshire and former Master of [[St Benet's Hall, Oxford]].

== Contents ==
The ''New Jerusalem Bible'' includes the [[deuterocanonical]] books and sections. The text of these is included where they occur in the context of the complete [[Septuagint]], rather than being grouped together in an appendix. Deuterocanonical sections of books in the Hebrew canon are identified by the use of italics.

== Source of the NJB ==
Like its predecessor, the [[Jerusalem Bible]], this version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Bible_de_Jérusalem Bible de Jérusalem], is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jérusalem<ref>[[Henry Wansbrough]], "New Jerusalem Bible, Regular Edition", pg. v.</ref>.

== Review of the NJB ==
It is an update to the ''[[Jerusalem Bible]]'', an English version of the French ''Bible de Jérusalem''. It is commonly held that the ''Jerusalem Bible'' was not a translation from the French; rather, it was an original translation heavily influenced by the French. This view is not shared by Henry Wansbrough, editor of the New Jerusalem Bible, who writes, "Despite claims to the contrary, it is clear that the Jerusalem Bible was translated from the French, possibly with occasional glances at the Hebrew or Greek, rather than vice versa." ('How the Bible Came to Us'. Also available online http://users.ox.ac.uk/~sben0056/booklets.htm). When the French version was updated in 1973, the changes were used to revise the ''Jerusalem Bible'', creating the ''New Jerusalem Bible''.

The revisions were substantial. The revised version is said to be less literary but, for the most part, more literal. The introductions and footnotes, translated almost entirely from the French, have also been thoroughly revised and expanded, making it one of the most scholarly editions of the Bible.{{BibleHistory}}

The ''New Jerusalem Bible'' uses some "[[inclusive language]]," as in Exodus 20:17: "You shall not set your heart on your neighbor's spouse," rather than "neighbor's wife" or "neighbor's woman". For the most part, however, the inclusive language is limited to avoiding a "preference" for the [[masculine]], as the translators write in the foreword. The ''New Jerusalem Bible'' uses more gender inclusive language than the ''Jerusalem Bible'', but far less than many modern translations such as the ''[[New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]]'' which changes "brothers" to "brothers and sisters", throughout the New Testament. For the inclusive language that it does contain, it has been rejected by many conservative [[United States|American]] Catholics, in favor of the ''[[Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]]'', the ''[[New American Bible]]'', or the ''[[Douai Bible|Douay-Rheims Bible]]''. Outside of America it has become the most widely used Catholic translation in [[List of countries by English-speaking population|English-speaking countries]].

Like the ''Jerusalem Bible'', the ''New Jerusalem Bible'' makes the uncommon decision to render God's name, the [[Tetragrammaton]], in the [[Jewish Bible|Jewish scriptures]] as [[Yahweh]] rather than as LORD or [[Jehovah]].

The ''New Jerusalem Bible'' also transliterates the Hebrew term "Sabaoth" rather than using the traditional rendering, thus "Yahweh Sabaoth" instead of "LORD of hosts". This is for the sake of accuracy, as the translation of "Sabaoth" is uncertain.
(New Jerusalem Bible, Regular Edition, footnote to Samuel 1:3)
