« | Psalm 93 | » |
1 The LORD is king. He is clothed with majesty and strength. The earth is set firmly in place and cannot be moved.
2 Your throne, O LORD, has been firm from the beginning, and you existed before time began.
3 The ocean depths raise their voice, O LORD; they raise their voice and roar.
4 The LORD rules supreme in heaven, greater than the roar of the ocean, more powerful than the waves of the sea.
5 Your laws are eternal, LORD, and your Temple is holy indeed, forever and ever.
The Good News Bible (GNB)
The Good News Bible (GNB), also known as the Good News Translation (GNT) in the United States, is an English translation of the Bible that prioritizes readability and accessibility for a diverse audience. First published in 1966 by the American Bible Society, the GNB was originally designed as a translation for people with limited English proficiency, including non-native speakers and those with lower literacy levels. Its straightforward and contemporary language makes it particularly effective for use in educational settings, churches, and personal study.
One of the hallmark features of the Good News Bible is its dynamic equivalence translation philosophy, which focuses on conveying the thought and meaning of the original texts rather than adhering strictly to a word-for-word approach. This allows the translators to use idiomatic expressions and familiar language that resonate with modern readers. The GNB aims to present the Bible in a way that is relatable and engaging, making it easier for readers to connect with the biblical stories and teachings without getting bogged down by archaic language or complex theological terminology.
