Been quite a while since I posted a new transcription of an ancient papyrus (or well, posted at all tbh!), so I won’t dilly-dally too much here.
Papyrus 47, also officially known as Papyrus Chester Beatty III, is one of the oldest and largest papyrus codices to contain text from the Book of Revelation chapters 9-17. There are in fact only five other papyrus manuscripts to contain text from the Book of Revelation dated before 300 CE. Four of these contain text only from one or two chapters, or as in the case of Papyrus 115 are very, very fragmented (these five are all available from the Downloads page).
Papyrus Chester Beatty III is therefore in a league of its own, being a near complete collection of ten leaves (20 pages). They contain the bulk of the middle section of Revelation. It does unfortunately lack chapters 1-8 and anything from 17:3 to the end of chapter 22, though for something that was likely found in a pot buried in someone’s grave that’s quite the miracle.
Transcription of the manuscript along with the usual very-woodenly-literal translation can be found via the Downloads page or by clicking this direct link for the PDF.
Any issues with the PDF, please use the contact form to let me know.

Another week, more uploads of Ancient Papyrus Transcriptions and translations. Powering on through them at the moment 🙂
The new ones this week were the following: Uncial 0171, Uncial 0220, P87, P80, P77, P69, P67, P52, and P23.
Please click here to go to the Ancient Papyrus webpage.
And as mentioned last week, this webpage is also accessible via either the sidebar to the right, or the drop down menu under Translation above 🙂

Bit of an early morning (well, for my time zone anyway) update to TWTY: The Greek Basis of the book of Yahuchanon, and a Transcription and Translation of Papyrus 64 (probably the oldest manuscript to contain text from the eyewitness account of MattithYah/Matthew – in this case the text of Matt 26:7-33).
This means I only have three more Greek Basis to complete: MattithYah, Lucus, and Acts. But as it happens, I’m very much in the mood for doing some more transcriptions and translations of all the oldest known Greek manuscripts of the Renewed Covenant books, so I shall be putting the Greek Basis on hold for the time being. Or knowing me, I’ll probably end up doing it in stages and letting you know when I’ve completed them all fully 🙂

Well, even though I had technically finished translating all of the books of the Renewed Covenant, I had yet to release an updated version of The Letter to the Galatians. (Don’t forget to also have a read of The Great Galatians Debate.)
I’ve rectified that, and now all 27 books have been completed, uploaded onto the website in webpage and PDF form, as well as in a combined RAR file 🙂
Enjoy!
Oh, I’ve also released a Version 2 of the Book of Yahuwdah, and corrected a few spelling/grammatical errors here and there in the translations 🙂
(Now, I will actually have a bit of a break! ..or probably not. Still a lot to do!)

About four years and two & a half months ago, I embarked on a mission: to do a fully Amplified English Translation of all the books contained in what I would come to know as “The Renewed Covenant” (rather than “New Testament”). Not knowing really how long it would take, I told someone “I’ll be finished by February”. Thankfully, I didn’t state what year, because then that really was a completely daft thing to say.
Anyway, I kept true to my words: I did finish “by February”… February 2011.
That’s right folks – I’ve finished! I’m done! I’ve finally completed the mission upon which I embarked with this, the publication of the translation of 2 Timotheos, both on the website, and in PDF form 😀 😀 😀 😀
A tiny, tiny word of warning: the translations in their entirety come to almost 815,000 words, so, please don’t think you’ll be able to read them all in one sitting, unless, of course, you can read at 565.972 words per minute, and can stay awake for 24 hours 🙂
Now, I think I deserve a bit of a break, wouldn’t you agree?

Since the release of the whole of the Book of Yahuchanon, I’ve been working hard over the holidays to complete what I’m releasing now: updates to every single translation here on TWTY. This includes translation mistakes that I’ve corrected, fixed grammatical errors, misquoted Tanakh quotes, and a whole bunch of other stuff too.
All translation webpages should have the updates on them already, and so should the PDF’s.
This does mean that other PDF’s that people have downloaded are now obsolete, but I’d also been working on a way to reduce the file size of all the PDF’s, so they should now all be available to download, and I’ve even included a package that let’s you download them all at once 🙂

Marcus/Mark
Yahuchanon/John
Lucus/Luke
Acts of the Apostles

In rather odd irony, I have a little gift for everyone today: The Complete and fully amplified translation of the Book of Yahuchanon, in both Webpage and PDF format.
And to top it all off, whilst “knowledge” of a “public forum” on TWTY was unfortunately leaked several months ago, without actually knowing the web-address, no one could access it.
Today, that changed. Please feel free to join the forum 🙂

A *little* slack in releasing an update, but as it happens my real life job has taken up a lot of my time. Thankfully, I’ve been able to find time to translate not one, but two chapters of Yahuchanon and put them on the website!
This therefore means that I only have two chapters to go, and looking at the state of the weather in England this week (I’m currently in a place where we have 7 inches worth of snow), I won’t be going anywhere, so I should be able to *hopefully* have the final two chapters done by the end of the week!
We shall see, shan’t we? 🙂
