The standing questions
Answered from the spec sheet and the positions above, never from the meters.
Is it word for word?
Yes by the publisher’s description: it follows the formal, word-for-word principles of La Biblia de las Américas and the NASB. The literal-to-idiomatic meter above shows where readers place its feel.
What text is it based on?
Kittel’s Biblia Hebraica, with the Dead Sea Scrolls consulted, for the Old Testament, and the 27th edition of the Nestle-Aland Greek New Testament.
Are verses missing?
The NBLA follows the Nestle-Aland text. Some verses that the oldest manuscripts omit, such as Acts 8:37, are printed in the main text with a footnote saying so. The text is complete by its own textual basis.
Is it approved for Catholic use?
No. It has the 66-book Protestant canon and no imprimatur. For Spanish editions with Catholic approval, see the Biblia de Jerusalén and the Biblia Latinoamérica.
Who translated it?
It rests on La Biblia de las Américas, made by 22 translators over 15 years. The Lockman Foundation names Eduardo Hernández, Osvaldo García and Duane Wetzler as the NBLA translators.
Is it the same as the Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy?
Yes. The text was published in 2005 as the Nueva Biblia Latinoamericana de Hoy (NBLH) and later renamed Nueva Biblia de las Américas; the copyright year is 2005.
