# Introduction to the Unlocked Literal Bible - English
The Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB) is intended to be used as a source text for Bible translators who may not have a reading knowledge of the original biblical languages. Some might call it "relatively literal" because it retains many of the grammatical structures, idioms, figures of speech, and semantically complex vocabulary used in the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source documents. But when those grammatical structures, idioms, or figures of speech would be unintelligible or seriously misunderstood in English, the ULB minimally adjusts the grammatical structures and wording in order to express the same meanings in ways that are more clear in English.
The ULB is not meant to be a refined, polished English version. It is meant to present the meaning and structure of the original texts in so far as that can be done clearly and simply, so that it can, in turn, be translated into other languages.
The ULB is intended to be used with other resources that help to clarify the meanings of words and phrases in the ULB or original languages. These resources also give suggestions about ways of expressing the meaning that translators might be able to use in their languages. These resources are the Unlocked Dynamic Bible (UDB), translationWords, translationNotes, translationAcademy, and translationQuestions.
* **The UDB** shows alternate ways of expressing the meaning in a more natural way. It also replaces the figures of speech in the ULB with plain language, and it makes some implicit information explicit.
* **translationNotes** explain complex theological terms and other translation issues. They also offer alternative translation suggestions.
* **translationWords** explain important terms that are repeated throughout the Bible.

* **translationQuestions** have questions and answers about the text. Translators can use these
* to test their own understanding of the ULB.
* to test their community's understanding of their translation to see if it is accurate and clear.
It is anticipated that the ULB and other resources will be translated from English into the world's Gateway Languages so that translators worldwide can use them as a set of resources for making accurate translations of God's Word in their own languages.
## Notes About Making a "Relatively Literal" Translation
* It is not possible to maintain a one-for-one correspondence between words in translation. One word from the source language may require a phrase for its translation in the target language, and vice-versa.
* It is not possible to translate every word the same way every time it occurs and still have the correct meaning. So the ULB seeks to use translate words with the meaning that they have in their context, using whatever English word or phrase is closest to that meaning.
* Both Greek and Hebrew can make a sentence without using a verb, while English cannot. For the ULB to make sense, the verb will always be supplied (usually "is").
* Greek makes abundant use of participial clauses. For the English of the ULB to make sense, often these must be changed to relative or adverbial clauses.
* In the ULB, the grammatical structures of the original languages are retained unless the English would be ungrammatical or easily misunderstood.
## The ULB Contrasted with the UDB
The ULB seeks to represent the language forms of the original in a way that also makes sense in English and other Gateway Languages. The UDB (Unlocked Dynamic Bible) seeks to represent the plain meaning of the original Bible text. Thus the ULB differs from the UDB in many ways. This means that:
* The ULB reflects more than the UDB the grammatical structures of the biblical languages.

* The ULB reflects as much as reasonably possible the written style of the original. It has, for example, "Paul...to Timothy..." instead of English's preferred, "Dear Timothy, this is Paul." The UDB has “I, Paul … , am writing this to Timothy.”
* The ULB departs from closely representing the structures of the original only when it must do so for the sake of clarity in English.
* Even when the ULB is ambiguous or not entirely clear (as is often true of the original), the ULB must never promote to the translator the wrong meaning.

# Decisions Concerning the ULB
The following are decision that have been made concerning the ULB. This is not a comprehensive list, but it is here to remind current editors and to inform future editors of some important ones.
## ULB Style
The following are details concerning the use of punctuation, capitalization, and vocabulary in the ULB.
* Quotation marks are used at the beginning and ending of direct speech. They are not used at the beginning of each verse, even though the speech may span several verses.
* Contractions are not used in the ULB.
* Punctuation is normally (not always) inside the quotation marks.

* All pronouns are lower case (except when beginning sentences and except for the first singular "I").
* Spelling of names, in most cases, follows that used in the 2011 NIV. (This includes translating Ἑβραϊστί as "Aramaic (language)."
* Where possible, the ULB editors have used common vocabulary that is easy to translate into another language.
## Translation Glossaries
A list of decisions as to how to translate some senses of the source language words and phrases into another language is called a translation glossary. Such a device is especially useful when more than one person works on the same project, because it helps keep everyone using the same English terms.
However, the sources often use some words to signal more than one sense, depending on context. A translation glossary is therefore a glossary of word senses, not a glossary of words. Check back often to this page, because these glossaries are likely to develop for the entire life of WA's translation resources project.
Note that occasionally, the translation glossary's specified translation will not be suitable. As always, the text editors must remain in control of the decision-making process. The glossaries are to guide you as much as is possible. If you must depart from the glossary guidelines, do so and insert a note in the relevant glossary below to that effect.
### Limited Translation Glossary for the ULB
This first list concerns English words used in the ASV of both the Old and New Testaments. Preferred English renderings appear in bold type.
* *And* (sentence-initial): The ULB only rarely uses sentence-initial "And." Occurrences of sentence-initial "and" in the ASV usually occur where the ASV translates the preverbal Greek particle *kai* or the Hebrew *vav* in the *wayyiqtol* verb form. The Greek particle *kai* was usually a Hebraism on the part of the New Testament writers that reflected their understanding that the Hebrew *wayyiqtol* form contained the conjunctive *vav* 'and.' This, however, was a misunderstanding, for modern scholarship has shown that the *wayyiqtol* form was a frozen form with parallels in cognate Semitic languages; it was the preferred Hebrew verb form for signaling event verbs in Hebrew narration.
* *Shall*: "**will**" for future expressions in general;
* "**should**", "**must**", or direct command for obligation;

* *Call* in the formula of the type, "**he shall be called** the Son of the Most High" (Luke 1:32): The ULB keeps this formula, but be aware of the metaphor that is operative here: in this verse, Jesus will not only be called the Son of the Most High, but he will be the Son of the Most High.
* *Hand* indicating power or possession: The ULB keeps this metaphor except when it would add confusion
* Expressions of the type, "he knew his wife" or "he went into his wife" are usually translated in the ULB as "**he lay with his wife**." The expressions "**had sexual relations**" and "**slept with**" are also used.
### Limited Translation Glossary for the Old Testament ULB
This list concerns Hebrew words in the Old Testament.
* *wayehi* "**It came about**" or "**It happened that**"
* *hinneh* "**look**," "**see**," "**see here**," or something else suitable for signaling that what immediately follows in direct reported speech is prominent.
* Often "**behold**" in direct reported speech of God or his angel, especially if it lends more dignity in English to the divine words than "look" or "see," etc., would do.
* Also "**behold**" in narrative passages, including narrative that is embedded in direct speech, such as when Joseph tells his brothers what happened in his dreams)
* *adam*: "**mankind**," "**humanity**," and "**human beings**" when it refers to mankind in general
* *YHWH*: "**Yahweh**"
### Limited Translation Glossary for the New Testament ULB
This list concerns Greek words in the New Testament.
* *egeneto de*, *kai egeneto*: "**It came about**" (See: "Sentence-initial and" above).
* *idou*: "**look**," "**see**," "**see here**," or something else suitable for signaling that what immediately follows in direct reported speech is prominent.

* differences in Hebrew and Greek copies that lead to differences in modern versions
* alternative renderings of verses that are very hard to understand in the original languages
* differences between copies of the texts in the original languages and the early Greek and Latin translations
The notes use the following words in refering to copies and translations:
* "Copies" refers to extant copies of the Biblical text, written in the original language, or to copies of the Septuagint or Vulgate.
* "Text" or "original text" refers to the Hebrew or Greek or Aramaic text compiled from all sources (that is, from all extant copies).
* "Translation" refers to ancient translations (the Septuagint and the Vulgate) and to modern translations.
* We do not use the words "manuscripts" and "versions" in the footnotes.
The ULB does not have footnotes for every textual issue, but it does address those that readers are most likely to encounter, particularly readers who have access to translations that were based on manuscripts known before the finding of the Dead Sea scrolls.
