It is a very responsible thing to translate the Holy Scriptures from the original languages, Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, into modern speech. Translating the Holy Scriptures means a rendering into another language the thoughts and sayings of the heavenly Author of tis sacred library of sixty-six books, Jehovah God, which holy men of long ago put down in writing under inspiration for our benefit today.
That is a sobering thought. The translators who have a fear and love of the divine Author of the Holy scriptures feel especially a responsibility toward Him to transmit his thoughts adn declarations as accurately as possible. They also feel a responsibility toward teh searching readers of teh modern translation who depend upon the inspired Word of the Most High God for their everlasting salvation.
It was with such a sense of solemn responsibility that the committee of dedicated mean have produced teh New World Translation of the Holy scriptures, over the course of many years.
