About this deal

Norihisa Suzuki, Japanese in the Bible: A History of Translation, (In Japanese) Iwanamishoten, 2006, ISBN 4-00-023664-4, Section 6 Kenzo Tagawa, "New Testament as a Text," (In Japanese) Keisoshobou, 1997, ISBN 4-326-10113-X,p.623-633 If every human becomes a spirit after death, this meant that even if all Japanese people were required to adhere to Buddhism under the danka system and had Buddhist funerals, they could still also have Shintō memorial services. It thus became possible to enshrine war dead. The imperial forces that established the new government under the emperor following the Meiji Restoration of 1868 used Hirata’s interpretation of Shintō to hold ceremonies and memorialize those who had died fighting for the imperial cause against the forces of the shogunate. In 1869, the year after the Restoration, they established a shrine for this purpose in the Kudan district of Tokyo, later placing it under the jurisdiction of the army and navy. Here at Yasukuni Shrine (as it was eventually renamed), ordinary people who gave their lives for their country came to be commemorated as kami. The Western media presents Yasukuni as a “war shrine” that glorifies Japanese aggression in World War II, but this is not accurate. It is actually equivalent to a revolution memorial or the tomb of an unknown soldier.

The Second Vatican Council decided to promote ecumenism and emphasized respect for the Bible. Consortia between the Catholic and the Protestant churches were organized and translation projects were started in many countries, including Japan. The collaboration committee published the Interconfessional Translation Bible ( 共同訳聖書, kyōdō yaku seisho) of the New Testament in 1978, but it was not widely supported by both congregations. [23] [24] [ clarification needed] The committee then published a revised version in 1987, the New Interconfessional Translation Bible ( 新共同訳聖書, shin kyōdō yaku seisho), which included the Old Testament. [25] [26] It has been widely distributed by various organisations (such as Gideons International). The next edition was planned to be released in 2016. [ needs update] A translation was done by James Curtis Hepburn of the Presbyterian Mission and Samuel Robbins Brown of the Reformed Church of America. It is presumed that Japanese intellectual assistants helped translate Bridgman and Culbertson's Chinese Bible (1861) into Japanese, and Hepburn and Brown adjusted the phrases. The Gospels of Mark, Matthew and John were published in 1872. [12] Hepburn's project was taken over by a Missionary Committee, sponsored by the American Bible Society, British and Foreign Bible Society and the Scottish Bible Society in Tokyo. Their New Testament and Old Testament, called the Meiji Original Version ( 明治元訳聖書 meiji genyaku seisho, "Meiji era Original Translation of Scripture"), was published in 1880 and 1887 respectively. They translated from a Greek text as well as the King James Version. [13] [14] [15] Taisho Revised Version, 1917 [ edit ] Its publication is done by Japan Bible Society (日本聖書協会), a member of the United Bible Societies (UBS). It is published in various forms, such as the whole Old and New Testament book, Old Testament only book, New Testament only book, Old Testament with or without the Deuterocanonical books, Japanese translation with the English translation ( Good News Bible (TEV) or New International Version (NIV)), with the Korean translation, etc. In the Edo period (1603–1868) the Tokugawa shogunate banned Christianity and required all Japanese people to become Buddhists. Households had to choose a denomination and register with a local temple in what was known as the danka (parishioner household) system. At the same time, however, the role of Buddhist priests was limited; to prevent them from spreading ideas that might represent a threat, they were effectively restricted to performing funeral rites and the like. It is a complete Bible translation, of the Old and New Testaments and the Deuterocanonical books. The original texts used are: Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia in Hebrew for the Old Testament, Nestle-Åland Novum Testamentum Graece in Greek, and the Greek Old Testament for the Deuterocanonical books.The committee, therefore, made necessary adjustments, such as "Yesu" (Jesus) and "Pauro" (Paul), and continued the translation work. In 1987, both Old and New Testaments were published as the New Interconfessional Translation Bible. The New Interconfessional Translation Bible ( Japanese: 新共同訳聖書, Hepburn: Shin Kyōdō Yaku Seisho, lit. "New Joint Translation Bible") is a Japanese translation of the Christian Bible, completed in 1987, and is currently the most widely used Japanese Bible, by both Catholics and Protestants.

(in English)It wasn’t just race, but it was a conflation of race and religion that made these people seem un-American, or perhaps even anti-American,” said Duncan Ryūken Williams, director of the USC Shinto Ito Center for Japanese Religions and Culture. Some, such as Protestant Fujihara Fujio, have criticized the style of the 1901 translation. In the 1930s, Orthodox Christians called for the translation to be revised, as they felt that the translation was difficult to understand. However, in an effort to ensure the accuracy of the translation, Nicholas opposed any such changes. [ citation needed] The written Japanese form, 神, is influenced by the Chinese meaning of the character. Common words in both languages using this character, such as 精神 (pronounced seishin in Japanese), meaning “spirit” or “mind,” and 神経 ( shinkei), meaning “nerves,” are related to human mental qualities. Pronounced shen in Chinese, the character 神 carries some divine attributes, but they are of a decidedly low rank and far below those of the highest power in Chinese theology, termed 天 ( tian) or 上帝 ( shangdi) in Chinese. In 2009, the board of directors of the Japan Bible Society officially decided to undertake the revision of the NIT Bible and, on March 2, 2010, they held a press conference to announce the start of the translation project that would result in the JBSIV, which would be completed in 2017 after eight years of work, and published in 2018.

In 1970, the NSK ( 日本聖書刊行会, nihon seisho kankōkai ) – not to be confused with the Japan Bible Society ( 日本聖書協会, nihon seisho kyōkai ) – released the first edition of the New Japanese Bible ( 新改訳聖書, shin kaiyaku seisho, "New Revised Version of the Bible") which was translated from Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek ( Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia and Nestle-Åland Novum Testamentum Graece). [22] The Shin Kaiyaku aimed to translate theologically difficult passages in a way that was linguistically accurate to the source texts, to strike a balance between word-for-word and thought-for-thought while erring toward a literal translation.

Devotees of the Pure Land school of Buddhism wished to escape the cycle of life and death and be reborn in Amida Buddha’s “pure land,” the Western Paradise. While studying to achieve enlightenment, Amida had vowed that he would strive to have all living things be reborn in this realm, which he reached upon becoming a Buddha. Rebirth in the superior realm of the Western Paradise meant being just one step from Buddhahood and was considered extremely important. The idea that people could become Buddhas after death spread through the doctrine that death could lead to the pure land, which in turn was a stage on the way to Buddhahood. Manga Bible ( Japanese: みんなの聖書 マンガシリーズ = Minna no Seisho - Manga shiriizu, meaning "Everybody's Bible - Manga Series" [1]) is a six-volume manga series based on the Christian Bible created under the direction of the non-profit organization Next, a group formed by people from the manga industry. Though first published in English, the books are originally written in Japanese and each volume is illustrated by a Japanese manga artist. [2] Each book is adapted from the Bible by Hidenori Kumai. The first two books were illustrated by manga artist Kozumi Shinozawa, while the remaining four were by Ryō Azumi.

Japanese Bible translation began when Catholic missionaries ( Kirishitan) entered Japan in 1549. In 1613, Jesuits published portions of the New Testament in Kyoto, though no copies survive. Gospels for the Sundays of the year and other Bible pericopes were translated, but it is unknown exactly how much else was translated. [6] [7] This translation of the Bible is now lost. [8] [9] Shortly afterwards, Christianity was banned and the missionaries were exiled. Japan’s traditional faith, based on worship of kami, is known as Shintō. There are no records to show what it was like in ancient times, and many details are unclear. We cannot even say if there was a set of beliefs and rituals sufficiently unified that we could call them Shintō. It is likely that the religion came into being as a blend of different elements, including the following:
