I bought this translation last month for a few dollars. I’d never heard of it before and it had some interesting things in page layout and translation design that were immediately obvious as I flipped through it. It doesn’t appear to be a wierd translation or anything, but I was wondering if anyone was familiar with it, or knows anything else about it. Here’s the website, and specifically a link to the page that has links to the translation itself. Note that these are all .pdfs so they may take a while to load. Also, after a very brief examination of Matt. 1 online with my print copy, it is obvious that I have an earlier version from what is online.

In this day and age of publishing, we can expect to see new translations coming to the market at a faster pace than ever before. The power and speed of computers make writing, translating, and proofing a breeze, and print-on-demand technology can put out one book or a thousand for about the same effort. I’m not familiar with this particular translation, but expect that to happen more and more often. Every man and his brother will soon have their own translation.

Speaking of… I’ve been planning on doing my own translation of the NT, however it looks like I’m just going to be too busy to ever get around to it.
