why does Christian Holy Bible have different translations? (As of September 2016 the full Bible has been translated into 636 languages)

God Himself inspired his servants to right the Bible in Greek and Hebrew, there are lots of languages since the days of old, but God chose only Hebrew and Greek, why then do we have to change it from it originally inspired version?

the first translation of the old testament book started in 300BC by the Jews, since then, it has become a common trait among men. They translated the Greek into their common language, their excuse was "so that everybody could read it in other for the gospel to spread faster"

God inspired the writers, who inspired the translators?

i think some Christians are behaving anyhow they like this days simply because Christianity has been devalued by some set of persons from the beginning.

if it is possible for the Muslims to learn Arabic before becoming a true Muslim, can't we Christians study Greek and Hebrew in other for we to be able to read the Bible in it original rather than it diluted format!


please i need honest opinions!

Probably the same reason why you wrote the thread and opening statement in English.

As an interesting aside, the first Bible printed in what became America was not in English....it was in the Massachusetts language (a/k/a Wampanoag, Natick) - a southern New England Algonquian language. It took the Puritan missionary John Eliot something like 14 years to translate it which illustrates the care that had to be taken to render it as close to the original as possible (not to mention, Eliot took a while to learn the language well enough to be able to attempt the translation).
