Revelation

English to Romanian Art/Literary Religion Bible
It's about the final chapter of the Bible.
I would kindly ask the Romanian translators specialized in religion/Biblical studies to tell me whether Dumitru Cornilescu's Bible version is acknowledged as "the older, traditional Protestant version of the Romanian Bible." I would also appreciate a useful link. Thanks a lot.

Apocalipsa

There is no such thing like "Protestant Bible" or "Catholic Bible" ... it's just The Bible - the one and only! There are more translation versions instead! Cornilescu's Romanian version is a little bit controversed - it is said to be beutiful but not quite accurate or unambiguous, which causes lots of debates and different interpretetion alternative of the Bible texts. I may provide you an example of it: within Psalm 91 (92) there is "And my power will grow like the unicorn's and my elder-age oiled" - this is Galaction version. Cornilescu translated: "my power like the bull's and my elder-age full of riches" . The ancient Hebrews used to "oil" their rullers and Judges (their famous Judges Court) so David refered to that particular custom, not to the material goods, and the unicorn is the symbol of the spiritual light, power of mind, it is not about physical force of a bull!
My personal recommendation is to see the latest Romanian version of the Bible, with notes, translated after Septuaginta at www.credo.ro/biblia-online.php - 22k . This version is of Bartolomeu Anania, Bishop of Cluj

Apocalipsa

Revelation e Apocalipsa. În germană îi zice Die Offenbarung nach Johannes. La noi multe biblii dau drept titlu de capitol "Apocalipsa Sfântului Ioan Teologul", deci ceva mai lung. Cât despre biblia lui Cornilescu, din păcate nu prea ştiu amanunte de ea.
