Persian Translations of the Bible
During the past 3 decades many different attempts have been made to make Farsi translations of the bible. These attempts have resulted in 4 main translations which are the Old Persian Version, the Contemporary Translation, Today’s Persian Version and the New Millennium Version. The problem with most of these translations is that they are translations of the English bibles which are themselves translations of the original bible. The New Millennium Version which is translated by Elam Ministries, is the most accurate translation of the Bible. In the New Millennium Version, they used many different English translations of the bible and compared them to the original Greek and Hebrew texts in order to use make the text more comprehensible for a Farsi reader.
