[quote author=Philopateer;Belleville, NJ link=topic=6447.msg86559#msg86559 date=1209666799] Not entirely. This book offers a literal translation of the text, particularly this hymn, where earlier versions of this book contain the NKJV interpretive translations. That is the reason why the Apocraphoric book are rare in arabic bibles as well.
you don't believe me, go to biblestudytools.net and check the verse in NKJ version.
this book was published by my church. i know what's in there. all the text of the bible that can be found in NKJV for english and SVD for arabic is used in the book...EXCEPT for all the coptic, which is from the katameros, all the arabic psalms, which are also from the katameros, Apocraphoric english is from NRSV, and unless it is mentioned its source. for example the psalm Rafadone of the 6th hour of good friday, it would say in the book that it is taken from a coptic translation. the book is only on its 2nd edition.
