Is anyone aware of a good translation of the Bible into modern(ish) Chinese? A native Taiwanese friend of mine (who up until a couple of weeks ago had zero knowledge of Christianity) is currently using a Chinese/English NIV Bible. She says that the Chinese translation is quite bad - often completely missing the English translation.
She also regularly attends a Chinese Bible study. She says that the leaders of this Bible study have to continually inform the attendees of portions of this Bible that are poorly translated so that much of the Bible study is spent trying to figure out the correct Chinese translation. The leaders have pointed her to a different translation that is supposedly much better, but it is apparently a much older language that is difficult for modern Chinese speaking people to understand.
Any suggestions?
Thanks,
Nate
