	New American Standard Bible		New American Standard Bible

			The '''New American Standard Bible''' ('''NASB'''), also informally called '''New American Standard Version''' ('''NASV'''), is an [[English language\|English]] [[translation]] of the [[Bible]].
			The [[New Testament]] was first published in 1963. The complete Bible was published in 1971.<sup>[]</sup>

			The NASB was published in the following stages
			*Gospel of John (1960)
			*The Gospels (1962)
			*New Testament (1963)
			*Psalms (1968)
			*Complete Bible, Old and New Testaments (1971)
			*Modified Editions (1972, 1973, 1975, 1977)
			*Updated Edition (1995)

			== Translation philosophy ==
			The New American Standard Bible is widely regarded as the most literally translated of 20th-century English [[Bible translation]]s.<sup>[]</sup> According to the NASB's preface, the translators had a "Fourfold Aim" in this work:
			# These publications shall be true to the original [[Hebrew language\|Hebrew]], [[Aramaic language\|Aramaic]], and [[Greek language\|Greek]].
			# They shall be grammatically correct.
			# They shall be understandable.
			# They shall give the Lord [[Jesus\|Jesus Christ]] His proper place, the place which the Word gives Him; therefore, no work will ever be personalized.<sup>[]</sup>

			As its name implies, the NASB is a revision of the [[American Standard Version]] of 1901. This translation was begun as an alternative to the [[Revised Standard Version]] (1946–1952/1971), itself a revision of the ASV, but considered by many<sup>[]</sup><sup>[]</sup> to be theologically liberal. Using the ASV as its English base, the NASB's translators revised the ASV as literally as possible.

			The Hebrew text used for this translation was the third edition of Rudolf Kittel's [[Biblia Hebraica (Kittel)\|Biblia Hebraica]], as well as the [[Dead Sea Scrolls]]. The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia was consulted for the 1995 revision. For Greek, Eberhard Nestle's Novum Testamentum Graece was used; the 23rd edition in the 1971 original, and the 26th in the 1995 revision.

			Seeing the need for a literal, modern translation of the English Bible, the translators sought to produce a contemporary English Bible while maintaining a [[formal equivalence\|word-for-word]] translation style. In cases where word-for-word literalness was determined to be unacceptable for modern readers, changes were made in the direction of more current [[idiom]]s. In such instances, the more literal renderings were indicated in footnotes.

			The greatest perceived strength of the NASB is its reliability and fidelity to the original languages, which, along with other literal translations, also allows for ambiguities in the text's meaning. Its corresponding weakness is that its readability and literary style sometimes prove confusing to the average reader. In addition, its printing of verses as individual units instead of paragraphs makes the text appear fragmented (though more recent editions are available in paragraph format).

			=== Updated NASB (1995) ===
			In 1992, the Lockman Foundation commissioned a limited revision of the NASB. In 1995, the Lockman Foundation reissued the NASB text as the ''NASB Updated Edition'' (more commonly, the ''Updated NASB'' or ''NASB95''). Since then, it has become widely known as simply the "NASB", supplanting the 1977 text in current printings, save for a few (Thompson Chain Reference Bibles, Open Bibles, Key Word Study Bibles, et al.).

			In the updated NASB, consideration was given to the latest available manuscripts with an emphasis on determining the best Greek text. Primarily, the 26th edition of [[Nestle-Aland\|Nestle-Aland’s]] Novum Testamentum Graece is closely followed. The Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia is also employed together with the most recent light from [[lexicography]], [[cognates\|cognate languages]], and the Dead Sea Scrolls.<sup>[]</sup>

			The updated NASB represents recommended revisions and refinements, and incorporates thorough research based on current [[English usage]].<sup>[]</sup> [[Vocabulary]], [[grammar]], and sentence structure were meticulously revised for greater understanding and smoother reading, hence increasing clarity and [[readability]].<sup>[]</sup>

			===YHWH===
			[[YHWH]] (rendered as "[[Jehovah]]" in the original A.S.V.) is rendered LORD or GOD in capital letters in the NASB.<sup>[]</sup> The committee stated the reason as: "This name has not been pronounced by the Jews because of reverence for the great sacredness of the divine name. Therefore it has been consistently translated LORD. The only exception is when it occurs in immediate proximity to the word Lord, that is, Adonai. In that case it is regularly translated GOD in order to avoid confusion. It is known that for many years YHWH has been transliterated as Yahweh, however no complete certainty attaches to this pronunciation."<sup>[]</sup> This is in direct contrast to the preface of ASV of 70 years earlier, where the committee explained that "the American Revisers...were brought to the unanimous conviction that a Jewish superstition, which regarded the Divine Name as too sacred to be uttered, ought no longer to dominate in the English or any other version of the Old Testament." <sup>[]</sup>
