IV. Erroneous Translations錯誤的翻譯 

Besides refusing to take into account the evidence set forth above, the Jehovah’s Witnesses have incorporated in their translation of the New Testament several quite erroneous renderings of the Greek.耶和華見證人除了上述的問題，他們將之合並於新約翻譯中，還有錯誤的希臘文翻譯。 

1. In the New World Translation…… 
As a matter of solid fact, however, such a rendering is a frightful mistranslation.這樣的翻譯是可怕的誤譯。 It overlooks entirely an established rule of Greek grammar 它忽略了整個希臘語法規則。which necessitates the rendering, “… and the Word was God.” …… 

2. In Col. 1:15-17 歌羅西書1﹕15-17the Jehovah’s Witnesses translation falsifies what Paul originally wrote, 耶和華見才智竄改保羅的原文rendering it: “He is the image of the invisible God, the firstborn of all creation, …… As a matter of fact, the ancient Colossian heresy which Paul had to combat resembled the opinion of the modern Jehovah’s Witnesses, 事實上，保羅所要戰鬥的異端，和耶和華見證人意見相同。…… 

3. The exalted description of the pre-existent Christ in Phil. 2:6 is given a characteristic twist in the translation prepared by the Jehovah’s Witnesses: 腓立比書2﹕6，又是耶和華見證人的另一個歪曲“…… 
That this translation is a misunderstanding of the Greek 誤譯的希臘文may be shown by referring to the standard Greek lexicon 可從標準的希臘文詞典得見。of the New Testament edited by J. H. Thayer. …… 

4. In still another crucial verse the New World Translation has garbled the meaning of the original so as to avoid referring to Jesus Christ as God. 另一個《新世界》歪曲經文以避免指耶穌基督為神。In Titus 2:13 提多書2﹕13，it reads, “We wait for the happy hope and glorious manifestation of the great God and of our Savior Christ Jesus.” This rendering, by separating “the great God” from “our Savior Christ Jesus,” overlooks a principle of Greek grammar which was detected and formulated in a rule by Granville Sharp in 1798. 看漏了一個主要的希臘文語法，…… 

5. Exactly similar to the last error considered above is the rendering of II Pet. 1:1 彼得後書1﹕1的翻譯錯誤和上邊的例子相似。in the New World Translation, …… 

6. The New World Translation, in harmony with its bold twisting of Col. 1:15-17 (considered above), is also in error at Rev. 3:14, where it makes the exalted Christ refer to himself as “the beginning of the creation by God.”在啟示錄3﹕14，又一個大膽的歪曲……

7. The passage in the Old Testament to which Jehovah’s Witnesses (and Arians of every age) appeal most frequently is Proverbs 8:22 ff. 箴言8﹕22是舊約中，被耶和華見證人上訴最多的。…… 
In any case, however, irrespective of the meaning of the Hebrew verb in Prov. 8:22, it is clearly an instance of strabismic exegesis, 清楚地是傾斜的釋經……
