Новый русский перевод (НРП)

2006, 2013

Publishing house: Biblica

According to many ministers it is the best Bible translation in modern Russian.
Initially, the translation of the 'Word of Life' was taken as the basis of the New Testament.
The first edition was not very successful, as it often happens.
The 2nd edition is highly reworked and very successful.
In preparing the 'New Russian translation', the best available texts in the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek languages ​​were used.
During the editing process, many of the Old Testament quotations and references included in the New Testament were taken into account, as well as the stylistic originality of the Old Testament. The main focus of the translation and editing was on the transmission of the correct meaning of each passage.
When translating the Old Testament, the standard Hebrew and Aramaic text (Masoretic text) was used, as it was published in the latest edition of Biblia Hebraica. Scrolls of the Dead Sea (Qumran manuscripts) contain an early version of the Hebrew Old Testament text. They went through the reconciliation process the same way as the Pentateuch Samaritan and other manuscripts belonging to the ancient manuscript tradition. Sometimes, when translating, the preference was given to the variant given in the comments to the Masoretic text, and not to the original text.
Such cases did not go beyond the Masoretic tradition of working with the text and therefore were not marked with footnotes.
Translators turned to the most influential early biblical sources: the Septuagint; Acquile, Symmachus and Theodosius; The Vulgate; Syrian Peshitta; The Targums; To the Psalms of Juxta Hebraica Jerome, when the meaning of the Masoretic text remained incomprehensible. In such cases, the text is provided with footnotes.
