I currently have a Logos package in English and want to keep it that way but also want a Spanish version of the Bible so that I can learn the translated Scripture in my second language.

    Maria, you may want to look into Compubiblia.  It will give you at least 4 different Spanish versions to choose from, plus a whole lot more.

    Oh Maria, ¿Cómo estás? I recommend NBLH is the modern version of LBLA.  It will help you learn the modern Spanish spoken today and not the ancient one that is not really spoken in Latin America anymore.  Both the NBLH and LBLA are good translations; they are pretty much the Spanish version of NASB95.  In my opinion, try to stay away from Reina Valera 1960 or older or even the new one from 2000 (I think).  The Spanish in them is too old, plus some verses were not translated correctly.

    Edit: By the way, to answer your question: "Yes, you can purchase a Spanish translation of the Bible [:)]"

    Two Spanish Bibles in Logos have Reverse Interlinear tagging:

    I have to chime in here and say in my church and all Independent Fundamental Baptist Churches that have a Spanish-speaking ministry we use the RVR60. As to the remark that the Spanish of the RVR is no longer used in Latin America, that is correct, but it IS used in Spain. I speak Spanish as spoken in Spain (and my wife is a Spaniard) and we do still use vosotros and it's related forms. Just to set the record straight. [:)]

    Yes, as far as the vosotros form goes, it is indeed used in Spain, but I'm talking about other out dated words or even the word order of certain sentences that are better understood in LBLA even though, LBLA uses vosotros.  Now NBLH that one has changed to "ustedes" and the words and word order are more up to date.  I'm not from Spain, but use vosotros when speaking to Spaniards. 

    By the way, ask your wife if she knows Catalan...LOL

    Hello DAL,

    I completely desagre with your statement. As a Spanish pastor, I can tell you that Reina Valera 1960 is kind of "liturgical" version; it is the most common bible used in services and study groups in Spain and quit a lot countries in Latin america. We have now a lot of immigrants from these countries and they prefer "ustedes" instead of "vosotros", but as a bible version, they usually use RVR60.

    I desagree when you afirm that this version doesn´t use a modern language. This is not true at all. The problem with this version is about the kind of translation: it is a literal translation instead of some kind of paraphrasis, which a lot of latinoamericans prefer because it is easier to understand. Because of the literal translation in RVR60 it is difficult to understand, for example, Paul's thoughts in Romans; the subordinate sentences follows the Greek structure and not the Spanish one. But the problem is the structure of some sentences, not the outdated language as you said. I prefer the Reina Valera 1995, which is better in this sense, or my prefered translation, the Reina Valera Actualizada.

    Anyway, I recommend the Reina Valera 1960, as a "liturgical" version, and with the OT and NT interlineal (LBLA has only the NT) it will be easier to know how English sentences (or Hebrew or Greek ones) are translated into Spanish by using the sympathetic highlight.

    Blessings,
