8. FOREWORD
I T IS a very responsible thing to translate the Holy Scriptures
from their original languages of Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek
into modern speech. Translating the Holy Scriptures means ren-
dering into another language the thoughts and sayings of Jehovah
God, the heavenly Author of this sacred library of sixty-six books
that holy men of long ago were inspired to write down for our ben-
efit today.
That is a very sobering thought. The translators of this work,
who fear and love the Divine Author of the Holy Scriptures, feel to-
ward Him a special responsibility to transmit his thoughts and
declarations as accurately as possible. They also feel a responsibil-
ity toward the searching readers who depend upon a translation of
the inspired Word of the Most High God for their everlasting sal-
vation.
It was with such a sense of solemn responsibility that over the
course of many years this committee of dedicated men have pro-
duced the New World Translation of the Holy Scriptures. The entire
work was originally released in six volumes, from 1950 to 1960.
From the start it was the desire of the translators to have all these
volumes brought together into one book, inasmuch as the Holy
Scriptures are in actuality one book by the One Author. While the
original volumes contained marginal references and footnotes, the
revised one-volume edition, released in 1961, contained neither
footnotes nor marginal references. A second revision was released
in 1970 and a third revision with footnotes followed in 1971. In 1969
the committee released The Kingdom Interlinear Translation of the
Greek Scriptures, which presented under the Greek text published
in 1881 by Westcott and Hort a literal word-for-word translation
into English.
This new edition is not just a refinement of the translated text
beyond its already previous revisions, but it has been expanded to
include a complete updating and revision of the marginal (cross)
references that were initially presented in English, from 1950 to
1960.
This 1984 revision has been released by us to the Watch Tower
Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania for printing, translation
into other leading languages and distribution. We thus make it
available with a deep sense of gratitude to the Divine Author of the
Holy Scriptures, who has so privileged us and in whose spirit we
have trusted in producing this revision. We pray for his blessing
upon those who use this translation for spiritual advancement.
