ja... / n| f ^ For the Southern Enterprise. a We have ikovn, ftdO ?w testftftonV of ?*ol ] ere the most eomprtettt, the eorrtat state of the ' original text. Upon this point, there is but one I opinion. In the Ituiuuiagc of l.owth, the imper- ' fection of the tex&le anch *? to render " a ] new trattention, or a rrritianpresent translation, ? wwunry wort." ift >y^>ng language 1 of l>r. Kennlcottis eq?*lly to the point: " 7ee 1 Hebrsw text itself is now' (bund to be wrong in * tnany instances, some of ohieK are of considerable consequence." Tho comment of " T. Si. A.** upon ' this testimony is, Indeed, retnarknblew He a-.iya J " JUr. Kenntcott complains, as a eruie, ot defects tn |' the Hebrew text, yet tn not one sentence does , 1 he say with 'Trutli,' it U not true and faithful* 1 How a wrong text can be the source of a true c and faithful translation, the superior ncnmcn of 1 the gentleman may. perhaps, determine. "The 1 text is wrong in munv instances," enys Kennioott. J The vetw fountain ia corrupt, and yet the stream ' Is pure f The form of his reply upon this sub- v iect demonstrates its weakness. Why has he ig- c nored entirely our quotations! Why. but from ? the conviction that thi'j- conflict ninnifestly with | his own statements. I pon the subject of a cor- j1 rupt original text, we have at command nunier- ' ous authorities?such as Conybeare and llowson, Davidson, Trench, and others?whose opinions 8 coincide fully with those of tho author* already c: referred to. To tho candid reader, nothing far thcr, surely, is necessary. We uow turn to the r second bruuch of jhe argument, and propose to * show the cori upturns of the ta<t?front the text 1 Itself. There is scarcely a book in the canon in ' which there is not found spurious and intcrpolnt- ' cd passages. In proof of this statement, I refer ' first to Matthew, vi, 13: "For tliiue is the king if dom. and the power, and the glory, forever. 1 1 r'Anicn." Bloomhold, upon this passage, remarks:1 I "The most eminent critics, with the exception of Multhnei, from Erusraus and ( rot us down to Sciioiz, have rejected it." 'lotliisopinion Bloom- 1 field (though he has not placed it among cert a-n Iff interpolated passages) is inclined. The scholarship of tlie world rejects it. 1 refer again to 1 Matthew, xxvii, 36: "That it might be fulfilled which was spoken by the prophet: they parted my garments among them ; and ujkiii my vesture did they cast lots." By every editor of note, this passage, is regarded spurious. Fo also the passage in Aets, viii, 37: "And Philip said, if thou bclievest with all .thy heart, thou ninyest. And lie answered and said, 1 believe that Jesus Christ is the Son of Cod." Again?Aets, ix, 6(1: " It is hard for thee to kick agniust the pricks. And lie, trembling and astonished, said, Laird, what wilt thou have me to do t" In 1 Corinthians, x, the last clause <?f verse, and the 24th verso of the 10th chapter, are both spurious. The lost clause of tlie 7th verse of II lleb.: " And didst set him over tho works of thy hand;" at:d the last member of the second clause {of the 20th verse of tlie 12lh chapter are upony | dial. This is but a specimen of what might be introduced. It is enough, however, to show the eon dition of the received text. It the above passu ges are not divine Script-ure, iind Bluomfieid. with all the best critics, affirm that they are in t, tlion ought they to Iks expunged from tlie word of God 1 And the effort to purify the Scriptures is as pious as it is benevolent, lint it will be said that these defects do not affect the integrity of the Bible as a whole, and that revision, therefore, is an iioiieeeesary woi k. This mode of . reasoning would have'deprived us of the very translation now in our possession. The admitted defects in the Bishop's Bible did not destroy the integrity of t he Scriptures; King James's trans- j 1 lation, therefore, w as tuuicccseur r. On this principle, however imperfect a translation may l;e, it mu?t not l?e revised, provided we cftu learn from it tho fundamental doctrlnsa of^rseyghm. Adnii' j j The absurdity of the principle Is its best refutation. "All Scripture giyen by inspiration of God, is profitable for din-trine, fi>r reproof, for correction, for instruction in right eoosnef*, that the man of Go-i may he perfect, thoroughly ft rnUhed unto all good works." Kvery passage of Scripture i* ituportant, or Go.l would not have given it to us; they ought, therefore, to laput into the hands of t hrhstinns as free from ail error as it is possible to n ake them. The slightest errors even may lend to consequences the niort serious. " It is dangerous to retain any known errors in our national version; they ?>penite differently on different milids; nor is it easy to istimntc their degree or effects. The opinion and conduct, not only of the unlearned, hut even of the learned thcuuclvc, who do not carefully ' .ronnnn it... j t..,-? S., I ...A,, I strongly influenced in matters of acknowl- ' edged importance l>y corrupt readings, or mistranslations of n very few texts." 'the above ' view, from Archbishop Newcoiubo, will, we ' think, be fully endorsed by every one at all eon- ' vcrsant with the history of the elmreh. We I have no fellowship for the spirit that can tolerate ' known defetfts in the Bible; and that our trans- ' latiou is full of tliem remains now to be seen. 1 In the first place, the translation not unfi-cqnent- ' ly sacrifices the true rendering to sectaiian purpose*. The words ej.iscopee and episcoposare so 1 rendered. In Luke, xix, 4 1, and 2 l'eter, ii, 12, i cptscopee is rightly translated vi*itnti<tn. In i Acts, i, 20, 1st Timothy, Sii, 1, it is translated < bishoprick, mid office of a bishop. In both i instances o^rVr would have been the correct rendering. 'ihe office of a bishop, as differing from that of a presbyter or elder, had, at that time, , according to Bloomfield, no existence. The ren- , -dcring is n comment upon the word, not a trans- , latum, and serves to mislead the mind. The ! , word episenpos, in 1st l'eter, iv, 15. is rendered, in our version, busy body; in l'hilippinus. i, 1, . Titus, i, 7, bishop or bishops; in Arts, xx, 28. overseers. Why this want of uniformity ? If 1 they had rendered It uuiformly bishop, then it would have been seen tlurt bishop and presbyter were tlw snuie officer. Such n disclosure, how- j ever, was foreign from ihcir design. If they had rendered it overseer, then no mention would have ' been made, in the translation, of bishop. This, therefore, would not do, and they translate it j" sometimes bishop and sometimes overseer, and thus make a show of Kpivopncy in the version ; whereas, in the original, it has no support whatever. '"By an iincandhl abandonment of their * chosen word "?t he old ecclesiastical word, bishop ! ?i?v which tney were to give r.|>i?eo|?ncv ni. foundation in the English liiblc, when that | \ word, fays Dr. Cnmpucil, ol Kentucky, was about to expose the whole fabric as hnsclcpn"? j they substitute the w<>r<! overseers, tind thus sue- ' coed in giving their " rcclceinAienl system an unwarrantable hold in the version, viohnfly fcaerirtcing, for this sectarian end, fidelity, t ni- " foi injty and cnndcr." Again; What is the meaning of the notes nj>- ,| penned to the Epistles of Timothy and Titus, in v whieli Timothy and Titus respectively are made j the first Liisivop of the Church of tlie Kphesinns i, and t'retons? That they are spurious nppcndn- c ges to the KpUtlca, every scholar admits. Tliey ? were rejected l?y Tnydsle. t.'overdale. and evi-n | tho V ulgate.

Why? r, Agni'': Why the prohibition to translate tlie o term eelesia, conyreflMioyi f Evidently because u if tIia translators had been left free, they might g have so translated it; hut this would have been d fata) to the moat cherished idea of the King. r Again : In Acts,. 12 :.4, the passage is thus rcn v dcred: "intending after Faster to bring him o forth to the people.' Jfow,.every scholar knows <1 that for ?ueh'a rendering there is not even tlie ii semblance of a warrant, i'uskn, the Greek word, v might, with quite as much justification, have been ? i . dcred visboti.

These are susceptible of translation? lolinito and distinct translation. So sny the sellout's of the world. Why, then, lock up the uicanng of God's ordinance in an uuknown tongueY Whatever the terms innv menu, whether to pour, pi inkle, or immerse, fidelity to God's truth reIuires that it should be given, Iu tlio third place, the translation is marred by luinerous obsolete words, aud the sense of >crip ure greatly obscured. The following examples vill justify this statement: "Take with thee ten 1 oaves and cracknela." Not one-half of the rendsrs of the Enterprise eun tell the moaning of racknels. Translate it cakes, and what was obtcure is at once clear. " Eat the lamb's head, >nd the purtmance thereof " All that hear the Wait of thee." What, is the moulting of purteiniiceand bruitY " lie will come to fray them." What does to frny mean Y " lie will set them to car his ground." Ilow many persons know tliftt to ear is equivalent to till, or plough Y " Providing for honest things." Honest here means decent, becoming, and not, as it is natural to sup|Kise, the opposite of dishonest. " Be thou an example to the believers iu conversation." Conversation how means talk, speech; in the Scriptures, however, it. is synonymous with conduct. " H'e do yon to wit of the grace of God." How much better, we make known to you. The word prevent now means to hinder. In the Scriptures it means to go before. " Wc shall not prevent them that arcasleep."?lstThes.,4: 15. " Ho who letteth w ill let. Here the meaning seems to bo. he who |m rmittct'u will permit, w hereas it mcutis the very opjiosite, viz: lie who hindcreth will hinder. What must be the effect of such word# and phrases upou the great nmss of readers? what, hut to obscure the Scripture# and conceal their meaning? In the fourth plucc, our.trnnsliitioit is tilled with terms offensive to true delicacy?term* which cannot he pronounced from the pulpit, or read in the family without a blush. Therei# no necessity for this. 'Ihe true sense can he givm by an euphemism siifUcteiitly explicit,and it i# due to the Bible that the change# should he made. In the tilth place, the want of uniformity in the orthography of proper names, is perplexing to the reader, and lends him into err* r. "Snj Io.-o," says Dr. Campbell, " Daitrroft'a History *. S. were to exhibit on its pages the following specimens of orthography, what would he the judgment of tlic people and press upon it: In due sei t o i, the name of the Father of his Country is written, Washington, in another, Walton, mid in a third.

It were easy to furnish examples jf serious error from each of the*- source#. lint, lastly, the translation is in several instan:cs contradictory. !Sc 2dSnm? 8: 4?"Auditaid took from htm a thousand chariot#, aud -seven ltindrcd horsemen and twenty thousand foot nun. ine sunie liinm-r 01 met. in t^-l l liron., 18 : 1. is thus stated: " And l>uvi?l took frotn }tim i tbiiitnnd chariots, and ttrtn thousand luimlion, and t wenty tltousaiid footmen." In the one ilace it i< seven hundred, in the other seven thouwnd In 'id Kings, 8: 2ft, we ler.ru that Ahnr.iah w :s two nnd twenty years old when he began to feign, while in 2d Oh roil., 22: 2, he is said to have bfljn two and forty years old when he Liegnn to reign. According-to 2d Kingst 23:30, Josiah was taken dead front Megiddo to Jerttsoleni hy liis servants; but according to 2d C'hron., 35: 24, lie died after reaching Jerusalem. In Numbers, 22:5, Balaam is made the sou of Boor. In 2d Peter, 2: 15, he is called the son of Bosor. Now jr.iut, as we do, that it is an easy matter to reconcile these conflicting passages, nevertheless Lhry mar the sacred Scriptures, and have proved ituiuhlij.pr blocks to hundred*. There is no reason for this. Why, then, should it be so V Now, with all these facts before U9, we see not iow it i* possible to resist the conclusion that retidon is an imperative nnd solemn duty. Nor ire we any longer surprised at the deliberate conlietion of the British and Foreign Bible Society, is ?xpressed in the annual report for 1889: ' )'?<?<r ' 'ominittee are persuailed that if even the Kni/lish authorized version were dealt with in the tame manner as the J'ortuifuesr, an amount of in Uridual mistranslations might be presented which roald. with equal justice, give rise to the question, an such a version be called the word of God." I shall now proceed to notice some things in he Inst article of " T. S. A." The effort, of the tenth-mail to depreeule the Vatican and Ephreni nnnuscripts, is in the face of the testimony of very scholar and critic of modern time* 'Hie p-nth-nuni himself udmits that, the text lias been niproved. in other words, that the text of Steihens lias Iu-en unproved. Now, we ask, Ivr s horn, and how't Why, evidently, by Mill, W"e{-' tein, Mat thai, Bengei and other*. And the most mportant menus in the accomplishment of this 1 no, was the manuscripts in their possession, and f these the Vatican nnd Ephrent manuscripts , bind among the very first in importance. Will lie gentleman please reconcile his opinion of 11cse manuscripts with the high opinion in whieh e must know they arc universally held? And i hat force is there in reasoning based upon mere ' lassitiv-ation, when the very conclusion to which < I h ads is emit radii-ted by the very men to whom re are indebted chiefly for all we know on these uhjccts? and who, in the very faec of this rcwaIIIH^c. tell US that the of th?v? flKiilUBOi ipl* an scarcely he overstnteil. And why has the rcntlrninn not fltterupted t-o rehnt the urjtnmrnt Icrived from the source of Stcphrne'a edition ? vliich resolves itself, says Bishop .Vlarsh, at last, nto the t'omphitension and Kriisiuian editions, ioth of which, we are told in Home, are " neith- ' r very nncieiit nor very correct." What, can it vuil to show that one class of manuscripts is letter than another, il they were not employed ii the construction of the received text ? Was his text made from the hest and roost, reliable iiinuacriptaY This is the question, and the only ne in point upon this suljeeL Of our remarks p -n the text, "To the King as supreme," the entleinnn replies: " He ('Truth ') lias all along ogmaticaUy atiirmed that King James gave i ules to the translators, to insure a revision that , rouhf establish Ids supremacy, and yet in the ^ nl V |-aasa?e in which they seein to carry out his esigns, lie acknowledges tliey departed faovu his 1 isimiaiioiie.""
