[COMPLETE]Acts (Young's Literal Translation) - tg

[juddmoss]

This is my first project! I would like to do section 4 if possible.

Judd

That would be wonderful!

I will assign you as soon as you decide on a display name. We have two names here: our forum name and our display name. The display name is what is displayed in the catalog. Often people use their real names or they may choose to use another name. It can be almost anything. (I use KevinS for both, but you can do as you wish.)

I’ll use juddmoss as display name.

Section 2 has now met all the standards of PL OK status and the MW now reflects that accomplishment.

That was the longest single section I think I've read. Glad I don't normally read the bible from YLT, because the syntax often seems back to front. I don't know because that's how the hebrew works, or because the language has changed from the start of the previous century.

Anyhow, that's my recording done for a few weeks as I have to take a trip to LA to attend a trial, and, no, I'm not in the dock!

Hi,
You are right about it seeming as if its back to front quite a bit. There is actually a real reason for that. In English we use word order to determine the function of a word. So if a word is the "subject" it would come before the verb and if the word was the "direct object" of the verb it would come after. However, in Greek (The Language the N.T. was originally written) the function of a word is determined by its Case Ending and not it's word order. The word order in Greek is used to "emphasize" a word rather then determining its function. So for Example part of 1st John 4:8 typically translated as "God is Love" but in the original Greek text the word order is "the God love he is". Proper nouns are typically written with the article for "the" in the Greek language but not typically part of the translation unless it is dictated by context. Therefore our translation "God is Love" is a proper translation of the Greek sentence, "The God love he is"
I just thought you guys might find it interesting why the word order seemed so choppy.

Thanks for that DurhamRyan. Very informative. Another thing I noted is virtually every para started with "And", and there were long paras with lots of commas, but few periods. Is this another representation of the Greek NT?

[DurhamRyan]

Typically yes. Punctuation was actually added later. In fact original Greek didn't even have spaces between words

Power packed, indeed!

Just a few things that need attention:

TIME: 05:25 TEXT: "and those dwelling in Mesopotamia, in Judea also, and Cappadocia," Reading has "Jordan" instead of "Judea".

TIME: 13:50 TEXT: "that God made unto our fathers" Reading has "your" instead of "our".

TIME: 14:51 TEXT: "Caiaphas, and John, and Alexander, and as many as were of the kindred" Hesitation and repeat at "Alexander".

TIME: 15:27 TEXT: "this one stood by before you whole." Reading has "yon" instead of "you".

One more section and this one is almost done.
