[quote:Keep2theCode:MV8yMzI3OTU1XzM5NzE2ODk5XzI1QkJBNTU=] [quote:shyrlymyrly:MV8yMzI3OTU1XzM5NzE2ODU3XzQ5NTZEODVF] I have one problem with the KJV, it names Satan Lucifer there. I have seen this only in English version, I am Russian, I have two different Russian Bibles and not one of them says Lucifer. Why does it call Satan Lucifer? Lucifer means light bearer and the morning star. I get this feeling that they did it on purpose to draw parallels with Jesus, cause Jesus is a bright morning star in Bible. This bothers me very much that they chose a Roman god that stands for the light as Satan. It doesn't make sense, cause the original text doesn't say Lucifer. [/quote] If memory serves, it had more to do with the KJV relying on the Latin Vulgate for the OT than any sinister intent. My biggest critique of the KJV is over it's heavy emphasis on "the divine right of kings", as James insisted. [/quote]
Original Message
I'm happy someone has actually produced a new translation based on the Byzantine Text tradition rather than the regurgitated Westcott and Hort Nestle Aland Critical Text. I wish they used the Majority Text instead of the TR. This new MEV translation seems to be identical to the NKJV (my fave translation). Wonder if this is just going to be another KJV revision that everyone forgets about. The NKJV is the only KJV revision that stuck around and had a real impact in the market, can't see this supplanting it. Though it does seem to have a little more backing behind it than other KJV revision attempts except for the NKJV. Will probably get a copy of this just for the sake of it being a rare modern translation that isn't CT and it being literal rather than dynamic equivalence.

I'm quite excited!
I must admit I have not had a chance to read through any other translation much. I guess I'll start doing this.

There is a translation of the original Mattithyah (Matthew), Hebrew Matthew out or coming out done by Michael Rood, I know of 2 proper corrections that are not in any other text (greek or others translations that were translated off hebrew version but greekized, made to match the greek text)
