	Because idioms differ from one language to another, there are always nuances that cannot be translated. This is one reason why most Catholic editions of the Bible are equipped with footnotes and commentary on the Scriptures. The Italians say, "Traduttore, traditore!"--"Translators are traitors." The English translation of this proverb lacks the punch of the original, but the meaning is clear enough.

I love the fact that the Judaeo-Christian tradition approves of translating from ancient religious languages into contemporary language. This, for me, is the lesson of the [[Septuagint]] translation of the Hebrew Scriptures.

Because idioms differ from one language to another, there are always nuances that cannot be translated. This is one reason why most Catholic editions of the Bible are equipped with footnotes and commentary on the Scriptures. The Italians say, "Traduttore, traditore!"--"Translators are traitors." The English translation of this proverb lacks the punch of the original, but the meaning is clear enough.
