Je, kuna tafsiri ngapi za Biblia?

Hakuna idadi moja rahisi, kwa sababu watu huhesabu Biblia kamili, Agano Jipya, sehemu, urekebishaji, ufafanuzi, na matoleo ya lugha kwa njia tofauti. Kwa Kiingereza pekee kuna matoleo na marekebisho ya Biblia yenye mamia, huku yakikadiriwa kuwa na karibu Biblia 100 kamili za Kiingereza kulingana na jinsi unavyofafanua kwa ukali “tafsiri tofauti.”

Kimataifa, takwimu za sasa za Wycliffe UK zinaorodhesha zaidi ya lugha 800 zilizo na Biblia kamili, zaidi ya 1,800 zilizo na Agano Jipya, na zaidi ya 1,500 zilizo na sehemu za Maandiko. Harakati hizo hubadilika kila mwaka, hivyo tazama nambari hizo kama “snapshot” ya sasa badala ya jumla ya kudumu.

Maelezo ya neno kwa neno dhidi ya mawazo kwa mawazo

Tafsiri za neno kwa neno hujaribu kuhifadhi umbo na muundo wa lugha asilia kadri inavyowezekana kwa Kiingereza kinachosomeka. Ni nzuri kwa masomo, maneno yanayorudiwa, na mafundisho ya kina, lakini zinaweza kusikika kuwa si za asili.

Tafsiri za mawazo kwa mawazo hulenga kuwasilisha maana kwa Kiingereza cha asili. Huenda zikawa rahisi zaidi kueleweka wakati wa kusomea hadharani au vikundi vidogo, lakini humfanya msomaji afanye maamuzi zaidi ya tafsiri.

Jinsi ya kuchagua tafsiri ya Biblia

Kwa maandalizi ya mahubiri, linganisha tafsiri rasmi na ile iliyo na usawaziko au yenye mwelekeo wa kubadilika (dynamic). Kwa usomaji wa hadharani, chagua tafsiri ambayo kundi lako linaweza kuielewa likiposomwa kwa sauti. Kwa watoto, wanaojifunza Kiingereza, au wasomaji wapya, ufasaha ni muhimu zaidi kuliko kuonekana kuwa ya kitamaduni.

Tafsiri bora ya Biblia kwa kawaida si Biblia moja kwa kila wakati. Makanisa mengi yana Biblia ya msingi ya mahubiri, kisha hupendekeza tafsiri rahisi zaidi kwa wasomaji wa kwanza na watoto.
