In the == Contents ==The ''New Jerusalem Bible, '' includes the [[Gospel of Luke|Lukedeuterocanonical]] 1:28 departs books and sections. The text of these is included where they occur in the familiar translation context of the Annunciation to complete [[MarySeptuagint]] with this wording:, rather than being grouped together in an appendix. Deuterocanonical sections of books in the Hebrew canon are identified by the use of italics.

:== Source of the NJB ==Like its predecessor, the [[Jerusalem Bible]], this version is translated "Rejoicedirectly from the Hebrew, so highly favored! Greek or Aramaic." The Lord 1973 French translation, the [http://fr.wikipedia.org/wiki/La_Bible_de_Jérusalem Bible de Jérusalem], is with youfollowed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the Bible de Jérusalem<ref>[[Henry Wansbrough]], "New Jerusalem Bible, Regular Edition", pg. v.</ref>.

The traditional == Review of the NJB ==It is an update to the ''[[Jerusalem Bible]]'', an English version of the French ''Bible de Jérusalem''. However, the ''Jerusalem Bible'' was not a translation from the French; rather, it is:an original translation heavily influenced by the French. When the French version was updated in 1973, the changes were used to revise the ''Jerusalem Bible'', creating the ''New Jerusalem Bible''.

:"Hail, full of graceThe revisions were substantial. The revised version is said to be less literary but, for the Lord is with theemost part, more literal. Blessed art thou among womenThe introductions and footnotes, translated almost entirely from the French, have also been thoroughly revised and expanded, making it one of the most scholarly editions of the Bible." {{BibleHistory}}

The ''New Jerusalem Bible then omitted '' uses some "[[inclusive language]]," as in Exodus 20:17: "You shall not set your heart on your neighbor's spouse," rather than "neighbor's wife" or "neighbor's woman". For the final phrase of most part, however, the inclusive language is limited to avoiding a "preference" for the [[Vulgatemasculine]] (, as the translators write in the foreword. The ''New Jerusalem Bible'' uses more gender inclusive language than the ''Jerusalem Bible'', but far less than many modern translations such as the ''[[New Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]]'' which changes "full of gracebrothers"), to "brothers and sisters", throughout the New Testament. For the inclusive language that it does not even mention contain, it has been rejected by many conservative [[United States|American]] Catholics, in a footnotefavor of the ''[[Revised Standard Version Catholic Edition]]'', the ''[[New American Bible]]'', or the ''[[Douai Bible|Douay-Rheims Bible]]''. Outside of America it has become the most widely used Catholic translation in [[List of countries by English-speaking population|English-speaking countries]].

There are online comparisons of Like the New ''Jerusalem Bible and '', the ''New Jerusalem Bible'' makes the uncommon decision to render God's name, and criticisms of both.the [[Tetragrammaton]], in the [[Jewish Bible|Jewish scriptures]] as [[Yahweh]] rather than as L<refsmall>http:/ORD</www.bible-researcher.com/new-jerusalem-biblesmall> or God <ref>The [[World English Bible]], an unfinished revision of the [[American Standard Version]], also uses Yahweh.html The [[American Standard Version]] and the [[New Jerusalem BibleWorld Translation]] both use Jehovah.</ref>. Yahweh is the closest in English to get to what is commonly believed to be the pronunciation of YHWH, the Hebrew holy name of God, though it has in the past been spelled "[[Jehovah]]".
