現在稱為《和合本》的聖經，初稱《官話和合本》，用了清朝的慣用稱呼「官話」，至清末民國時期「官話」逐漸改稱「國語」，故此改名《國語和合本。因著《國語和合本》大為流行，成為教會唯一在用的和合譯本，現今簡稱為《和合本》。The Chinese Union Version (CUV) (Chinese: 和合本; pinyin: héhéběn; Wade–Giles: ho2-ho2-pen3; literally: "harmonized/united version") is the predominant translation of the Bible into Chinese used by Chinese Protestants, first published in 1919. The text is now available online. The CUV was translated by a panel with members from many different Protestant denominations, using the English Revised Version as a basis and original manuscripts for crosschecking. Work on the CUV began in 1890 and was completed in 1919, with one amalgamated classical Chinese translation and one vernacular Mandarin translation. With the onset of May Fourth Movement, and the associated New Culture Movement, the CUV is the second translated work to be published in Vernacular Mandarin Chinese.
The CUV in use today is the vernacular Mandarin Chinese version, published in two slightly different editions—the Shen Edition (神版) and the Shangti Edition (上帝版)--differing in the way the word “God” is translated. ( )
上海在華傳教士大會中決議，翻譯用的原文底本是英國出版的《修訂版聖經》(Revised Version) 所用的原文底本。Revised Version (1885)又稱《英國修訂本》(English Revised Version)，其新約希臘文底本，是當時最新的 Westcott and Hort (1881)。不過，據尤思德博士的研究，《和合本》的譯者在參考Westcott and Hort (1881)之餘，有時卻用回古老的《公認經文》(Textus Receptus) ，即1611年出版的《英王詹姆斯譯本》(King James Version) 的底本。

IMPORTANT - soloist, please note: in order to limit the amount of languishing projects (and hence the amount of files on our hard-pressed server), we ask that you post an update at least once a month in your project thread, even if you haven't managed to record anything. If we don't hear from you for three months, your project may be opened up to a group project if a Book Coordinator is found. Files you have completed will be used in this project. If you haven't recorded anything yet, your project will be removed from the forum (contact any admin to see if it can be re-instated).
Please don't download or listen to files belonging to projects in process (unless you are the BC or PL). Our servers are not set up to handle the greater volume of traffic. Please wait until the project has been completed. Thanks!
