| | New Jerusalem Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia |
 | | The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. |
 | | Like its predecessor, the Jerusalem Bible, this version is translated "directly from the Hebrew, Greek or Aramaic." The 1973 French translation, the Bible de Jérusalem, is followed only "where the text admits to more than one interpretation." Introductions and notes, with some modifications, are taken from the 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. |
