Hebrew New Testament by Delitzsch, Franz, 1813-1890

Logos does offer this Hebrew New Testament. Not sure what the difference between the two would be.

[Y] Perry, I'm sure you're not the only one who has suggested this!

The main difference is that this translation from The Bible Society in Israel is in Modern Hebrew, whereas Delitzsch's translation is in a form of ancient Hebrew.

Thanks for the explanation! Sounds like there is enough difference to warrant both being available if Faithlife is willing to produce it. If I can ask, what sorts of things do people use the Hebrew New Testament for?

Hi Matthew,

Personally, I've been using the Modern HNT simply to enrich my Hebrew studies and have more material to read and listen to, especially while studying Scripture. I'd largely use Delitzsch's translation for that same end. This would apply to learning any language! 

Secondarily, it's also interesting to see what connections you make between the original, Hebrew-Aramaic OT Scriptures and a Hebrew NT translation, since they share not just similar ideas (conceptual content) but often similar language (linguistic form), although it's always important to keep in mind authorial intent and whether those connections would be (textually and contextually) accessible and warranted to their intended audience (from the author-intended text and the author-assumed context). This is somewhat similar to the connections one can make between the original, Koine Greek NT Scriptures and ancient, Koine Greek translations of the Hebrew-Aramaic OT Scriptures, although ancient Greek translations have other values for their antiquity (e.g., in the study of linguistics, textual criticism, history, culture, etc.).

Finally, there are also discussions about the languages spoken during Jesus' time and how those relate to the Gospels, parables, the broader historical-cultural setting, and other issues, although I'm sure there's often a lot of speculation and conjecture in some of these areas (and misconceptions about the status of Hebrew and Aramaic). That's not really my major area of study, so as Randall Buth stated in one of the discussion threads I provided (here):

Delitzsch is always worth checking to see what he did with something since he put in a lot of homework on his translations.

For best use, this must be read against a full background of mishnaic and Second-Temple literary Hebrew (Late Biblical+Qumran).

I hope this helps gives some ideas on how this resource might be useful!

Hello Perry,

I made this book for Logos, and is being tested. If no errors are detected, will publish in this forum.

Hey have you uploaded this Hebrew New Testament yet? I have done searches through the forums, but can't find the file. 

Thanks

Dear all,

Today I have create a new post under Files with a .docx file. This document can be imported in Logos as Personal Book.

Yours sincerely,

Cees van Steenselen

Vine of David, a Messianic Jewish organization, published in 2011, a version of Delitzsch's 11th edition (Gospels only) which includes an English translation of Delitzsch's Mishnaic Hebrew (with niqqud/points) into English, using Hebraicized names of persons and places. Each Hebrew page faces an English page, and there is a glossary of some idiomatic expressions, etc. There is no plan to publish the remaining books of the NT at this point--but this is an excellent resource. It would be a great addition to the Logos catalog.
