Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

   

10:1And I will not ye be ignorant, brethren, that our fathers were all under the cloud, and all passed through the sea;
10:2And were all immersed into Moses in the cloud, and in the sea;
10:3And they all ate the same spiritual food
10:4And all drank the same spiritual drink: for they drank of the spiritual Rock following; and the Rock was Christ.
10:5But God was not contented with the most of them: for they were overthrown in the desert.
10:6And these things were our types, that we be not eagerly desirous of evil things, as they also eagerly desired.
10:7Neither be ye idolaters, as some of them; as has been written, The people sat down to eat and drink, and rose up to play.
10:8Neither should we commit fornication, as some of them committed fornication, and there fell in one day twenty-three thousand.
10:9Neither should we tempt Christ, as also some of them tempted, and were destroyed by serpents.
10:10Neither do ye murmur, as also some of them murmured, and were destroyed by the destroyer.
10:11And all those happened types to them; and it was written for our reminding, to whom the ends of the times have arrived.
10:12Therefore let him seeming to stand see that he fall not.
10:13No temptation except human has taken you and God faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above what ye are able; but with the temptation will he also make an escape, that ye may be able to bear.
10:14Wherefore, my beloved, do ye flee from idolatry.
10:15As to the wise speak I; judge ye what I say.
10:16The cup of praise which we praise, is it not the mutual participation of the blood of Christ? The bread which we break, is it not the mutual participation of the body of Christ?
10:17That, one bread, one body, we are many: for we all partake of one bread.
10:18See ye Israel according to the flesh: are not they eating the sacrifices mutual participators of the altar?
10:19What do I say therefore? that an idol is any thing? or that what is sacrificed to an idol is any thing?
10:20But, that what things they sacrifice the nations sacrifice to demons, and not to God: and I will not ye be partakers of demons.
10:21Ye cannot drink the cup of the Lord, and the cup of demons: ye cannot partake of the table of the Lord, and the table of demons.
10:22Do we emulate the Lord? are we stronger than he?
10:23All things are lawful to me, but all are not profitable: all things are lawful to me, but all build not the house.
10:24Let none seek his own, but each another's.
10:25Every thing being sold in the market, eat, ye, interrogating nothing through consciousness:
10:26For of the Lord the earth, and its fulness.
10:27And if any one of the unbelieving call you, and ye wish to go; every thing set before you, eat, interrogating nothing through consciousness.
10:28And if any one say to you, This is sacrificed to an idol, eat not, for him making it known, and consciousness: for of the Lord the earth, and its fulness:
10:29And consciousness, I say, not thine, but another's: for that why is my freedom judged by another's consciousness
10:30And if I partake by grace, why am I defamed for what I give thanks?
10:31Whether therefore ye eat, whether ye drink, or what ye do, do ye all things to the glory of God.
10:32And be ye not molesters to the Jews, and the Greeks, and to the church of God:
10:33As I also please in all things to all, not seeking my advantage, but that of many, that they might be saved.

Julia E. Smith Translation 1876

The Julia Evelina Smith Parker Translation is considered the first complete translation of the Bible into English by a woman. The Bible was titled The Holy Bible: Containing the Old and New Testaments; Translated Literally from the Original Tongues, and was published in 1876.

Julia Smith, of Glastonbury, Connecticut had a working knowledge of Latin, Greek and Hebrew. Her father had been a Congregationalist minister before he became a lawyer. Having read the Bible in its original languages, she set about creating her own translation, which she completed in 1855, after a number of drafts. The work is a strictly literal rendering, always translating a Greek or Hebrew word with the same word wherever possible. Smith accomplished this work on her own in the span of eight years (1847 to 1855). She had sought out no help in the venture, even writing, "I do not see that anybody can know more about it than I do." Smith's insistence on complete literalness, plus an effort to translate each original word with the same English word, combined with an odd notion of Hebrew tenses (often translating the Hebrew imperfect tense with the English future) results in a translation that is mechanical and often nonsensical. However, such a translation if overly literal might be valuable to consult in checking the meaning of some individual verse. One notable feature of this translation was the prominent use of the Divine Name, Jehovah, throughout the Old Testament of this Bible version.

In 1876, at 84 years of age some 21 years after completing her work, she finally sought publication. The publication costs ($4,000) were personally funded by Julia and her sister Abby Smith. The 1,000 copies printed were offered for $2.50 each, but her household auction in 1884 sold about 50 remaining copies.

The translation fell into obscurity as it was for the most part too literal and lacked any flow. For example, Jer. 22:23 was given as follows: "Thou dwelling in Lebanon, building as nest in the cedars, how being compassionated in pangs coming to thee the pain as in her bringing forth." However, the translation was the only Contemporary English translation out of the original languages available to English readers until the publication of The British Revised Version in 1881-1894.(The New testament was published in 1881, the Old in 1884, and the Apocrypha in 1894.) This makes it an invaluable Bible for its period.
