This is a literal translation of the Bible in English. This translation differs significantly from most common English translations in that it has restored the original book order of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Tanakh, and restored the Name of the Most High, YHWH / יהוה throughout. The Names of all the books in the Tenakh are now restored to the original Hebrew, including the books of the Torah: Bereshith (Genesis), Shemoth (Exodus), Wayyiqra (Leviticus), etc, also the books of, Tehillim (Psalms), and Mishle (Proverbs) etc. The traditional rendering of the word "Law" has been restored with "Torah" throughout the translation, retaining the richness and full meaning of this word in the Hebrew language.The Scriptures is a literal translation of the Tanakh and the Messianic Scriptures. The divine Name (the tetragrammaton), YHWH / יהוה appears throughout. יהוה appears in Hebrew characters throughout the translation in the Tanakh (Torah, Nevi'im, Kethuvim) and also in the Messianic Scriptures. The name by which the Messiah was known, Y'hoshua / Yeshua, is restored in Hebrew as well and appears in the text as such, יהושע. The original Hebrew personal names of people and places are restored throughout the Scriptures, such as "Yirmeyahu" for Jeremiah, "Yeshayahu", for Isaiah and "Mosheh" for Moses and in the Messianic Scriptures, "Mattithyahu" for Matthew etc. Words and names, as far as possible, have been corrected in order to eliminate any names of idolatrous origin. The books in the Tanakh are arranged according to the original order of the Hebrew Scriptures, the Torah, the Prophets and the Writings. Difficult phrases in The Scriptures are explained in footnotes and the explanatory notes.

Woord en Getuienis

Hierdie bundel is ‘n poging om ‘n Afrikaanse Vertaling van die Skrif daar te stel wat so ver moontlik voldoen aan die vereiste wat in Devariem 4:2; 12:32; Mieshleh 30:6 en Openbaring 22:18-19 neergelê word. Hierdie vertaling is in die eerste plek gebaseer op die mees oorspronklike (Hebreeuse, Aramese en Griekse) grondtekste beskikbaar, maar daar is tot 'n baie groot mate gesteun op bestaande vertalings soos die Afrikaanse Vertaling van 1933, die "King James" Vertaling van 1769 en die vertaling van "The Scriptures" van 1998.

Neem asseblief kennis dat hierdie nie 'n Afrikaanse vertaling van The Scriptures 1998 (ISR) of The Scriptures 2009 (ISR) is nie.
