TRANSLATING THE BIBLE

(Translating the Bible depends not only on an adequate comprehension of the original language but also on a proper understanding of the divine revelation in the holy Word (From “A BRIEF EXPLANATION, The New Testament Recovery Version, revised edition 1991)

1 Pet. 1:5 In which time you exult, though for a little while at present, if it must be, you have been made sorrowful by various trials ( The New Testament Recovery Version, revised edition 1991)

Again, in this verse The New Testament Recovery Version differs from all the other major translations because it adds the word time (in italics).
So far we have seen that in three cases, Luke 4:19; Heb. 10:22: 1 Pet. 1:6; The New Testament Recovery Version insert an interpretation in the text.

I am not surprised because this matches what is stated in A BRIEF EXPLANATION. If I understand it correctly, it seems that “a proper understanding of the divine revelation in the holy Word” (interpretation?) helps in translating the Bible. This might be true or not but can never give anybody the liberty to insert his interpretation in the text of the Holy Word (there are many cases, of course, where words must be supplied to make the text clear to us modern reader).
