I had the same question about brothers not being able to find it on jw.org and doubting about the veracity of it.Įnviado do meu LG-D855 através de TapatalkIt's pretty much the same principle that we find the monthly broadcast. I love seeing the excitement of the brothers and I hope I get to experience that excitement soon.īut can anyone explain how that link was constructed?Ĭould it be that the page in question is some temporary work page that wasn't supposed to be found? This is one of my favorite threads for this very reason. Especially if it's the first time they are receiving the bible in their language for the first time.

Every time I see a new edition of the NWT released, I feel happy for those who are getting it. 'You will get it.but not today.and not tomorrow either. I remember Brother Jackson's words at the IC in Jersey. I've said it a thousand times here and I'll say it again: I can't wait for the Spanish revision. I've come across a few Portuguese speaking people in the territory and now I can show them that they have a modern translation of the bible in both dialects! I'm really happy for you brothers and sisters who speak Portuguese. I'm sure if I study Portuguese grammar and correct pronunciation, I can learn a little Portuguese. Most words are completely different, but even then I can still understand them. Some words are pronounced exactly the same. I was curious about the Portuguese language and I was surprised how much I understand the language without even studying it! It's very similar to Spanish. I'm curious, what is the word that you use in Angola for someone cautious, wise, sage?Īnother significant move to a more traditional approach in Portuguese, present in both translations, is the change of the name of the last bible book 'Revelation' to 'Apocalipse'. This is a return to a more traditional expression and a more meaningful term in my opinion. In reality all the other bible translations that I have in Portuguese use the expression 'discreet'. Therefore the second meaning is more adequate. And 'prudent' is related with someone cautious, wise, sage. In Portugal, usually the expression 'discreet' is related with the meaning of someone unobtrusive, circumspect, low profile. I believe there was a good reason why both versions (Portuguese and Portuguese-Brazilian) changed the translation from discreet to prudent. I truly believe, principally here in Angola, the word 'Prudente' is not very know.Brother Joel Concerning the differences between the Brazilian edition and the Portugal Edition, I will spend the next days to find out.Īlthough, I was expecting in Matthew 24:45, the word ' Discreet' to be translated ' Discreto' as used to be, but it was translated as 'prudente' like in the Brazilian Edition.
