The
NASB Update
Since
its completion in 1971, the New American Standard Bible
has been widely acclaimed as “the most literally accurate
translation” from the original languages. Millions of
people, students, scholars, pastors, missionaries, and
laypersons alike, have trusted the NASB,
learning from it and applying it to the challenges of their
daily lives. With the NASB,
anyone can discover what the original text really says, word
for word, because it is considered the most literal
translation of the Bible in the English language, consistently
following the oldest and best manuscripts. The NASB update
continues this commitment to accuracy, while increasing
clarity and readability. Vocabulary, grammar, and sentence
structure have been carefully updated for greater
understanding and smoother reading. The updated NASB remains
the most literally accurate Bible in the English language.
The
smoother reading NASB
update refines
the differences in style between the ancient languages and
current English.
In
the process, Old English "thees," "thys,"
and "thous," archaic vocabulary, and sentences
beginning with "And" have been updated for better
English, while verses with difficult word order were
restructured.
In
addition, parallel passages have been compared and reviewed
and verbs that have a wide range of meaning have been updated
to better account for their use in the context. Proper names
or titles have been used in place of pronouns only when the
context made it clear who the person was. Punctuation and
paragraphing have been formatted to fit today’s standards. Also,
the notes about ancient manuscripts, which have appeared in
most editions of the NASB,
have been reviewed and, in many cases, feature new and more
specific interesting facts.
Instead of telling the reader what to think, the NASB
update provides the most precise translation with
which to conduct a personal journey through the Word of God. |
