Holy Bible: New Living Translation (NLT)

De: Tyndale House Publishers

Narrado por: Dr. Theon Hill

The Holy Bible, New Living Translation, is an authoritative Bible translation, rendered faithfully into today’s English from the ancient texts by 90 leading Bible scholars. The NLT’s living language breathes life into even the most difficult-to-understand Bible passages—but even more powerful are stories of how people’s lives are changing as the words speak directly to their hearts.

The New Living Translation is perfect for every age and stage of life, allowing every member of the family to understand the same text.

What method did the translators use in making the NLT?

The translators of the New Living Translation set out to render the message of the original texts of Scripture into clear, contemporary English. As they did so, they translated as simply and literally as possible when that approach yielded an accurate, clear, and natural English text. Many words and phrases were rendered literally and consistently into English, preserving essential literary and rhetorical devices, ancient metaphors, and word choices that give structure to the text and provide echoes of meaning from one passage to the next.

On the other hand, the translators rendered the message more dynamically when the literal rendering was hard to understand, was misleading, or yielded archaic or foreign wording. They clarified difficult metaphors and terms to aid in the reader’s understanding. The translators first struggled with the meaning of the words and phrases in the ancient context; then they rendered the message into clear, natural English. Their goal was to be both faithful to the ancient texts and eminently readable. The result is a translation that is both exegetically accurate and idiomatically powerful. More than 90 Bible scholars, along with a group of accomplished English stylists, worked closely together toward that goal. In the end, the NLT is the result of precise scholarship conveyed in living contemporary language.

bought as a read along to my NLT Bible

the narrator makes several errors when reading, very disappointed in that
adds words that aren't there, says the wrong word, I expect better from someone with Dr. in front of their name

The reader puts passion into the scriptures

I like the way he read the scriptures. I enjoyed the emphasis that it put on certain words and the clarity in which he spoke with much feeling and passion

Syncing Issues Corrected as of December 2024

The Syncing Issues are corrected as of December 2024, so if you've purchased this bible before then, I would suggest you do what I did and I just called Audible Customer Service and asked them to remove the old version from my Library, get a Credit, and then use that Credit to download it again. The Chapters are all synced properly with correct introductions for each book. It's great again.
The narrator is clearly well-spoken and very energetic throughout. I really recommend this title.
