  New English Bible - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The New English Bible (NEB) was a fresh translation of the Bible into modern English directly from the original Greek, Hebrew, and Aramaic texts (with some Latin in the Apocrypha); with the New Testament being published in 1961, and the Old Testament, along with the Apocrypha, being published in 1970.
Near the time when the Copyright to the English Revised Version was due to expire (1935), the Oxford University Press and the Cambridge University Press, who were the current English Revised Version copyright holders, began investigations to determine whether a modern revision of the English Revised Version text was necessary.
In Isaiah 9:6, the New English Bible translators chose a rendering that is both interpretive and non-traditional.

Old English was not static, and its usage covered a period of approximately 700 years – from the Anglo-Saxon migrations that created England in the fifth century to some time after the Norman invasion of 1066, when the language underwent a major and dramatic transition.
Unlike modern English, Old English is a language rich with morphological diversity and is spelled essentially as it is pronounced.
The term Old English does not refer to varieties of Early Modern English such as are found in Shakespeare or the King James Bible, nor does it refer to Middle English, the language of Chaucer and his contemporaries.

 The Revised English Bible
This is an extensive revision of the British New English Bible (1970) that eliminated many of the NEB's incautious renderings in favor of a more literal approach, but it remains considerably less literal than the Revised Standard Version (1952).
One of the pioneers was the New English Bible, which was distinctive inasmuch as it was a new translation from the ancient texts and was officially commissioned by the majority of the British Churches.
This substantial revision expresses the mind and conviction of biblical scholars and translators of the 1980's, as the New English Bible expressed the mind of a previous generation of such specialists, and it is fortunate that some distinguished scholars have been able to give their services throughout the entire process.

Another place where the NEB translators have adopted an interpretation favored by a minority of scholars without informing the reader of the majority view is in Acts 20:7, where they have interpreted the Greek text's Ἐν δὲ τῇ μιᾷ τῶν σαββάτων "on the first day of the week" as if it meant Saturday.
Although this question of interpretation is of relatively minor importance, it is notable that the NEB presents a new interpretation without alerting the reader to the fact that most scholars disagree with it.

Beyond that, since English expressions even when of like meaning have different flavor, the translator has to determine what flavor is most appropriate for his task as a whole and even for the quite different styles within the New Testament itself.
Sometimes as in New England and New York and New College (Oxford, A.D. 1379) the term lasts on for centuries, but New English as an adjective for the first is obsolete and the New English Dictionary (1888-1933) is already generally known also as the Oxford English Dictionary, or OED.
This practice of NEB means, as it meant in KJV, that in parallel passages, synoptic or otherwise, the reader cannot trust the English text to indicate faithfully the degree of likeness and difference between the parallels.

She is but one, yet can do everything; herself unchanging, she makes all things new; age after age she enters into holy souls, and makes 28 them God's friends and prophets, for nothing is acceptable to God but the 29 man who makes his home with wisdom.
She is more radiant than the sun, and surpasses every constellation; compared with the light of day, she is found 30 excel; for day gives place to night, but against wisdom no evil can prevail.
It is thy will that the things made by thy wisdom should not lie idle; and therefore men trust their lives even to the frailest spar, and passing through the billows on a mere raft come 6 safe to land.
