Manage episode 352561465 series 2920207
Translators make errors in their translation choices because they impose themselves onto the biblical text.
In today’s episode, the last in this 4-part series on translations of the Bible, Andrea gives specific examples of translation errors. She distinguishes 3 kinds of errors: (1) euphemisms (2) word choices that force the text to make sense to the translator (3) word choices that impose the translator’s assumptions on the text.
