Najnowsze przekłady Biblii a teoria przekładu
Zaborski, Andrzej (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
New translations of the Bible may suffer from the fact that sometimes translators who need to demonstrate that their renditions are really new, have a tendency to introduce new versions at any price, which may result either in fancy, less satisfactory solutions, or in mistakes. Only some of the radical experiments are successful. Biblical scholars and translators should keep in mind that the same original can be, by definition, translated in many equally satisfactory ways, so that new translations are frequently only parallel and equivalent to the older versions. Literal or ‘word by word’ rendition, which still reappears in its radical execution, when there is an attempt at imitating grammatical structures of the original language, inevitably results in unfaithful interpretations in which some crucial meanings and style features are lost. A non-literal translation can be equivalent or ‘faithful’, but a literal translation cannot be faithful by definition. In a moderate version, literal translation can be used for metalinguistic discussions only. The use of brackets for words or phrases without which the translation is incomprehensible or grammatically and/or stylistically distorted, should be abandoned. Real etymological meanings of words are by definition obsolete and anachronistic, and should be used with utmost caution.

Dwie drogi prowadzące do odnalezienia mądrości według Syracha. Analiza egzegetyczno-teologiczna Syr 51,13-30
Piwowar, Andrzej (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
The article constitutes an analysis of the final pericope of the Book of the Wisdom of Sirach (Sir 51:13-30) in its Greek version. The text can be divided into two parts: in the first one (vv. 13-22) the author relates his personal experience of seeking and finding wisdom, while in the second part (vv. 23-30) he admonishes those who lack education to join his school and partake of the wisdom he himself has found. The wisdom the sage refers to is of a religious character (he asked for it in prayer – vv. 13b, 14a, 19c; it manifests itself in good deeds – v. 19b). Not only does the author make it clear in the first part of the pericope that the vital requirement for finding wisdom is to start early in life (vv. 13a, 15d), but he also explains the ways in which wisdom may be found (a human being should subordinate all spheres of life to finding it – vv. 13b, 14b, 15b, 19a, 21a). The pericope lists the means necessary to find wisdom (namely, purification – v. 20b, following the path of righteousness – v. 15c, striving for goodness – v. 18a, turning to wisdom – v. 20a, complying with the Law – v. 19b, listening – v. 16a, and repentance for the mistakes made – v. 19d) as well as mentions the gifts wisdom grants those who find it (joy – v. 15b, formation – v. 16b, heart, that is intellectual capabilities – v. 20c, language thanks to which one can praise God and share wisdom with others – v. 22a; all of these gifts are called a good possession – v. 21b). The sage emphasizes the fact that finding wisdom is not particularly difficult and does not require a tremendous effort (v. 16a), but searching for wisdom should be a constant part of life for those who wish to have it (they should never stop searching for it – v. 14b). In part two (vv. 23-30), which is of a didactic character, the sage encourages the uneducated to join his school so that he can share wisdom with them. The author admonishes those who – like him – desire wisdom to take advantage of his experience and undergo formation in his school. Sirach presents two ways leading to wisdom. The first one requires personal involvement in searching for it, whilst the second one entails taking possession of wisdom from someone who has already found it. In Sir 51:13-30 the author expresses great optimism concerning the possibility of finding and possessing wisdom. His position is at odds with the pessimism of the Book of Job and the Book of Ecclesiastes in this respect. The pericope under analysis here serves as a summary of the opinions expressed by the sage earlier in his book (cf. especially 6:18-37; 14:20 – 15:10; 24, 33:18-19). Together with Sir 1:1-10 it the frames the whole book and constitutes the recapitulation of the most significant theological aspects of Sirach’s text as well as a synthesis of his theology.
The Motif of God’s Wrath in Zephaniah’s Prophecy about the Day of Yahweh
Pikor, Wojciech (Katolicki Uniwersytet Lubelski Jana Pawła II, 2014)
The article constitutes an analysis of the motif of the day of Yahweh in the Book of Zephaniah. God’s anger, a crucial element of that day, may be interpreted as a metaphor for God’s mercy. The starting point for the verification of this hypothesis is the exploration of the semantic fields employed in the descriptions of the day of Yahweh in the Old Testament. Then, the historical-salvific background for the motif of God’s wrath is outlined. Situating God’s anger in the context of the covenant and Exodus helps pinpoint the function of the metaphor of anger in the message of God’s mercy.
