Monument to the Russian Orthodox Saints "Peter and Fevronija of Murom"...

Interestingly, V. 7: 24-26 of Matthew in Russian contains Christ's appeal to those who have common views with him and those who listen to him, in English it is translated as an appeal to those who hear him. The difference in translations is significant. And this is only a small part ..

Yes, unfortunately! I already noticed that. Sometimes it is very bad ...((

On the other hand, is it possible to reproach people, who translate a literary or even a poetic source from one language to another? I once compared the text of the Irish poet with the text of the Russian translation .. These were often two parallel texts .. :)

There is a nice story about 5 interpreters. Everyone translates the first sentence of the predecessor. The last one has a completely different content )))

If one is serious about translation Bible, in the Internet there is a table of literal translation of this texts, in particular - from Greek to English. It is also true, that Yandex this "Greek" language does not know and refuses to translate. I assume, that the used texts are written in ancient Greek... About story: in Russia there was a game in which the several words are transmitted along the chain of people whispering in ears, the latest version is voiced and compared with the first. Everyone laughs. :)

... that fits great, with numbers that can not happen, I guess :)
