Translating the ENTIRE Bible
Bible translator and expert educator, Dave Brunn chats with our host Keith on a range of topics, making sure not to miss the chance to dig into the role that AI can have (and can't have) in the meticulous process of translating God's Word. One of the biggest reason's he feels it can't "do it all" is the reality that good Bible translation requires a good grasp of a person's culture and worldview as much as it requires fluency in the language.Dave's enthusiasm for this craft, this art, this ministry of translation is motivating and reflects a life well-lived. And that enthusiasm enabled him to be a part of an especially rare event: seeing the ENTIRE Bible (Old and New Testament) translated into the language of Lamogai people of Papua New Guinea.For more about how Ethnos360 approaches Bible translation, check out this dedicated hub of content: Bible Translation - Ethnos360Chapters00:00 Introduction to Dave Brunn and his mission work02:03 The initial challenges of translating the Lamogai language04:04 Technological advances in translation from typewriters to computers07:04 The translation process and the importance of native language experts12:51 The significance of worldview and cultural understanding in translation19:07 Translating metaphors and cultural concepts like 'Lamb of God'22:02 The pros and cons of AI in Bible translation29:00 The current state of technology access in remote communities33:01 The spiritual impact of translation and church planting35:59 Encouragement for future generations in translation work-- If you enjoyed this episode, please share it, and don’t forget to subscribe/follow this podcast, so you don’t miss more episodes like this!
