« | Psalm 99 | » |
1 LORD reigns! Let the peoples tremble. He sits above the cherubim, let the earth be moved.
2 LORD is great in Zion, and he is high above all the peoples.
3 Let them praise thy great and awesome name. Holy is he.
4 The king's strength also loves justice. Thou establish equity. Thou execute justice and righteousness in Jacob.
5 Exalt ye LORD our God, and worship at his footstool. Holy is he.
6 Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his name, they called upon LORD, and he answered them.
7 He spoke to them in the pillar of cloud. They kept his testimonies, and the statute that he gave them.
8 Thou answered them, O LORD our God. Thou were a God who forgave them, though thou took vengeance on their doings.
9 Exalt ye LORD our God, and worship at his holy hill. For LORD our God is holy.
A Conservative Version (ACV)
A Conservative Version (ACV) of the Bible is a translation that aims to provide a conservative and literal interpretation of the biblical texts. Developed with a focus on maintaining fidelity to the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts, the ACV emphasizes a word-for-word translation methodology. The goal is to preserve the subtleties and nuances of the original languages as accurately as possible. This approach results in a version of the Bible that seeks to remain true to the text's original meaning and context, appealing to readers who prioritize precision and doctrinal integrity.
The text of the Old Testament for A Conservative Version (ACV) came from the American Standard Version published in 1901. The main changes done for the ACV were the replacement of archaic words with more modern ones, except for the old English pronouns, which were kept because they are more communicative. The New Testament was translated from, The New Testament in the Original Greek According to the Byzantine-Majority Text form. That edition was compiled by Maurice A. Robinson and William G. Pierpont, and is of the Textus Receptus tradition from which came the King James Version.
The ACV was created in response to what its translators saw as a trend toward more liberal or dynamic-equivalence translations that prioritize readability over literal accuracy. The translators aimed to produce a text that adheres closely to the original languages, even if this makes the translation more challenging for contemporary readers. This reflects their belief in the importance of preserving the exact words and phrases used in the original scriptures. The ACV also employs traditional theological terminology and phrasing, avoiding modern slang and colloquial expressions in favor of language that conveys the gravity and solemnity of the biblical message.
