Btaments, with 12 14 I ■) I i 7 • ) r> .> <} 14 •4 I o the Jews was first committed the care of the sacred Writings, and for many ages they were in a manner confined to that chosen poopl« |1 here wns then no need of translations into other languages ; yet was tlie providence of Cod particularly manifest in their oreservation an«l purity. I he Jews were so faithful to their important trust, that, when copies of the law or the prophets were transcribed, tliey observed the most scrupulous exactness ; they not only diligendy campared the one with the other, but even counted the number of letters in each book, aud jompared and recorded the numbers. Tlie first translations that were made of the Old Testament were after the Babylonish captivity. They are called the Targums, which word hi< the Chaldean language signifies Translations. They are also often called the Chaldee Paraphrases ; some of them are exact translations of jdiflcrent parts of Scripture ; otJiers are properly paraphrases, containing enlargements, explanations, and even additions. Several of thein arc [yet extant, and they are often mentioned by the ancient fathers of the Christian church. Some have affirmed that the five books of IVjoses and [iliat of Joshua were translated into Greek before the days of Alexander the Great. But the most remarkable translation of the Old Testament into Greek is called the beptuagint, which, A the opinion of some eminent writers is to be credited, was made in the reign of Ptolemy Philadel- phus, about 2bO years before the Christian era. At any rate it is undoubtedly the most ancient that is now extant, and on many accounts deserVins I notice, tliough not to be put on a level with the Hebrew text, as has been sometimes done. The New Testament was originally written in Greek ; and no sooner was tlie gospel spread through the nations than it was found necessary I to translate the inspu-ed Writings for each into its proper tongue. Some translations of the Cid Testament, different from the-Septuagint were made into Greek from the year of Christ's birth 128 to 200. It is generally believed that tlio church of Antioch was favoured with a Syrian translation of the Bible as early as the year 100. The Ethiopians of Abyssinia have a version of the Bible, which they ascribe to Frunicntius of the fourtli century- Chrysostom, who lived in the end of the fourth, and Theodoiet, who lived in the middle of the fifth century, both inform' us that they had the Syrian, Induin, Persian, Armenian, Ethiopic, and Scythian versions. The ancient Egyptians had the Scriptures translated into theu- language. I ho Georgians have a version in their ancient language. The most ancient German translation is supposed to have been made by Ulphilas, A. D. 300, fhe Old Testament of all these translations, except tlio Syrian, is taken from the Septuagint, and not immedi- ately from the Hebrew text. ' . }\^ will now give some account of the translations of the Bible into the English language TJiere have been some who have affirmed that Adelme, Bishop of blierbiu-n, who lived in the beginning of tlie eighth century, translated the Pshmis into the Saxon tongue. That however is uncertain, as some of the best Instorians make nf. mention of it ; yet it is possible, as he was a man of great parts, and of yreat learning for those times, and said to be the first Lnglishman who wrote in the Latin language. About the same time, or a little after, B> o, commonly called the venerable Bede, translated some parts of the New Testament, some say the whole Bible, but that is not probalile.-i^, ,ir 200 years later, kinc Alfred translated the Psl.mis into the same language. In 1382 WicklifT finished his translation of the Bible, which is yet extant; that istosav there are copies of it m sonic publick and private libraries. All these translations were made from the \ ulgate. In the reign of Henry the eighth, seyeral editions of the Old and Now Testaments were published in English ; one of the most remarkable is that of Wflliam Tyndal in I ..30. 1 he triinslatiotis of the New restaiiujnt were made fi-om the original Greek, but probably the Old Testament either from the Latin of tfie is 5 5 I I 1 m This last circumstance, wi li some others, induced king James the first to select fifiy-four persons, eminent in 'learning, and particularly well acquainttKl with the original languages in which the Old and New Testaments were written, totmake a new translation o? the wliole Bible l" he year l607, forty-seven of those persons, the other seven probably having died, assembled together, and arranged themselves into committees to each of which a portion was given o translate. They were favoured not only with the best translations, but with the most accura™pies iind the various readings of the original text. After about three years assiduous labour, they severally completed the parts assigned them. Thev Hutjiority, .-. ui generally iwed in the British dominions.

NOW the " Philistines fought against Israel ; and till! men of Israel fled from before the Philistines, and fell down slaiu in mount (iilboa. 2 And the Philistines followed hard after Saul, and after his sons; and the Pliilisthies slew ''Jonathan, and Abinadab, and Malchi-shua, the sons of Said. 3 And the battle went sore against Said, and the *= archers hit him, and he was wounded ol'tlie archers. 4 Then said Saul to his armour-bearer. Draw thy sword, and thrust nie through therewith, lest these uneircmncised come and ''abuse inc. iJiit his armour- bearer would not ; for he was sore afraid. So Saul took a s\\ ord, and fell ifpon it. 5 And when his armour-bearer saw that Saul was dead, he fell likewise on the sword, and died. G So Saul died, and his " three sons, and ' all his house died together. 7 And when all t!io men of Israel that were in th(! ^ valley saw that they fled, and that Saul and his sons were dead, then they forsook their cities and fled : and the Philistines came and dwelt in them. 8 II And it came to pass on the morrow, when the Philistines came to strip tin; slain, that they found Saul and his sons fallen in mount (iilboa. 9 And when they had '' stripped him, they took his head, and his armour, and sent into the land of the Philistines round about, to carry tidings unto their ' idols, and to the people. 10 And tjiey put his armour iji the house of their * gods, and fastened his head in the temple of Uagon. 11 liAnd when all ' Jabcsh-gilead heard all that the Philistines had done to Saul, 12 They arose, all the valiant men, and took away the body of Saul, and the bodies of his sons, anil brought them to Jabesh, and buried their bones under the oak in Jabesh. and fasted seven days. 13 II .So Saul died for his transgression which he committed against the Lord, even against ""the word of the Lord, which he kept not, and also for "ask- ing counsel of one that had a familiar sinrit, to inquire; ofit; 14 And " inquired not of the IjOrd : therefore he ' slew him, and ^ turned the kingdom unto David tlie son of Jesse.

CHAPTER I. 1 The time of Ezekiel's prophecy at Chebar; 4 his vision. NOW it came to pass in tlie thirtieth year, in the lourth month, ni tlie fifth day of the month, as I was iunoiis tJie captives by the river of Chebar, that the ^ heavens were opened, and I saw '' visions of God. 2 In the fifth day of the month, (which was the fifth year of king Jehoiachin's captivity,) 3 The word of the Lord "came expressly unto Ezekiel the priest, the son of Buzi, in the land of the ' Chaldeans, by the river Chftbar ; and the " hand of the Loud was there upon him. 4 And I ' looked, and, behold, « a whirlwind came out of " the north, a great cloud, and a fire infolding itst'lf, and a ' brightness was about it, and out ot' the midst thereof, as the colour of amber, out of the midst of the fire : 5 Also out of the '' midst thereof c«»ie the likeness of ' fourliving creatures. And this io«s"their appear- ance ; they had the Irkeness of a man. 6 And every one had four faces, and everyone had four °' wings. 7 And their feet ti-ere " straight feet; and the sole of their feet was like the sole of a " calfs foot ; and they sparkled like the colour of ^ burnished brass. 8 And they had the "^ hands of a man ' undei- their wings, on their four sides ; and they four had their faces and their wings. 9 Their wings were 'joined one to another ; they ' turned not when they went ; they went every one " straight forward. 10 As for tlie likeness of their faces, they four had the face of "^ h man, and the face of *' a lion on the light side ; and they four had the face of an * ox on the left side ; they four also had the face of "an eagle. 1 1 Thus were their faces : and their wings were stretched upward; two 7vings of every one were joined one to another, and two covered their bodies. 12 And they vvent every one straight forward : whither the '' spirit was to go, they went ; and they turned not when they went. 13 As for the likeness of the livingcreaturss, their appearance leas like ' l)urning coals of fire, and like the appearance of lamps : ' it went up and down among the living creatures ; and the fire was bright, and out of the fire went forth lightning. 14 And the living creatures ''ran and "^ returned as tlie appearance of a flash of lightning. 1.5 Now, as I beheld the living creatures, behofd, «= one wheel upon the '' earth by the living creatures, with his four faces. 16 The appearance ' of the wheels and their work was like unto the colour of a beryl ; and they four iiad one likeness; and thf»ir nppoarance and their work was as it were a wheel in the middle of a wheel. 17 When they vvcuit, they went upon their four sides ; and thev turned not when thev went. 1 8 As for their rings, they were so ^ high, that they were dreadful ; and their rings tf ere ' full of eyes round about them four. 19 And when the livingcreatures went, the wheels went " by them ; and when the living creatures were lifted up from the earth, the " wheels were lifted up. 20 Whithersoever the spirit was to go, thev went, thither was their spirit to go ; and the wheels were lifted up over against them: forthespirit of the living creature ° ivas in the wheels. 21 When those went, these went; and when those stood, these stood ; and when those were lifted up from the earth,the wheels were lifted up over against them: for >" the spirit of the living creature tuftsin the wheels. 22 And the likeness of the "^ firmament upon the heads of the living creature loas as the colour of ' the terrible crystal, stretched fortJi over their heads above. 23 And under the firmariient ivere their wings straight, the one toward the other : every one had two which ' covered on this side, and every one had two, which covered on that side, their bodies. 24. And when they went, I heard the noise of their wings, like the noise of ' grc^at waters, as the voice of "the Almighty, the voice ol' speech, as the noise of a host : when they stood, they let down their wings. 25 And there was " a voice from the firmament that was over their heads, when they >' stood, and had let down their wings. 26 And above the firmament that was over their heads w'as the likeness of a ' throne, as the appear- ance of a sapphire-stone : and upon the likeness of the throne was the likeness as the appearance of a man above "uijon it. 27 And I savvastliecolourofamber,astheappear- ance of ''fire round about within it; from the appear- ance of his loins even upward, and from the appear- ance of his loins even downward, I saw as it were the appearance of fire, and it had " brightness round about. 28 As the appearance of the "^ bow that is in the cloud in the day of * rain, so was the appearance of the brightness round about. This teas the appear- ance of the likeness of the glory of the Lord. And when I saw it, ' I fell upon my face, and I ^ heard a voice of one that spake. CHAPTER II. t Ezekiel's conimission ; 6 his instruction ; 9 his prophecy. AND he said unto me, ' Son of man, '' stand upon thy feet, and I will speak unto thee. 2 And the spirit " entered into me ''when he spake unto me, and "set me upon my feet, that I heard him that spake unto me. 3 And he said unto me, Son of man, ' 1 send thee to th.e children of IsrHcl, to a rebellious f nation that hath rebelled against me : they and ^ their fathers have transgressed against me, even unto this very day. \- For they are impudentchildren, and''stiflr-hearted: 600 k Rom. n. 33. l2Clir.

THE ° word of the Lord which came unto Ze- phaniah the son of Cushi, the son of Gedaiiah, the son of Amariah, the son of Hizkiah, in the days of Josiah the son of Anion king of J udah. 2 1 will utterly ''consume all tilings from off the land, saith the Lord. 3 I will ' unsume '^ man and beast ; I will consume the fowls of the heaven, and the fishes of the sea; and the '' stumbl'ng locks with tiie wicked ; and 1 w ill cut ott" man from off the laiui, saith the Lord. 4 1 will also stretch out my hand upon Judah, and upon all the inhabitants of Jerusalem ; and 1 will cut off the remnant of " Baal from this place, and the name of the Chemarims with the priests; 5 And them that worship the host of heaven upon the house-tops ; and them that worship and that ' swear by the Lord, and that swear by Malcham ; 6 And tlitnn that are ^turned back from the Lord ; and those that have "not sought tlieLonD, nor inquired for him. 7 ' Hold iUy peace at the presence of the Lord God ; for the day of the Lord is at hand: for the Lord hath prepared ^ a sacrifice, he hath bid his guests. 8 And it shall come to pass in the day of the Lord's sacrifice, that I will punish the princes, and the ' king's children, and all such as arc clothed with strange apparel. 9 In the same day also will 1 punish all those that leap on the threshold, which "' fill their masters' houses w ith violence and oeceit. 10 And it shall come to pass in that day, saith the Lord, that there shall be the " noise of a cry from the fish-gate, :ind a howling from the second, and a great crashing from the hills. 11° Howl, ye inhabitants of Maktesh, for all the merchant peo[)le are t ut down ; all they that bear silver are cut off. 12 And it shall come to pass at tliattinie,//iffil will ■^ search Jerusalem with candles, and punish the men that arc '^ settled on their lees; that say in their heart, The IjOrd w;ill not 'do good, neither will he do evil. 13 Therefore their goods " shall become a booty, and their houses a desolation : they shall also build houses, but not inhabit them ; and they shall plant vincvards, but not drink the wine ther^^of. 14 The ' great day of tlie Lord is near, it is near, and hasteth greatly, even the voice of the day of the Lord : the mighty man shall cry there bitterly. 15 " That day is a day of wrath, a day of trouble and distress, a day of wasteness and desolation, a day of darkness and gloominess, a day of clouds and thick' darkless. I IG A day of the " trumpet and alarm against the i fenced cities, and against the high towers. 17 And I'will bring distress ui)on men, that they I shall walk like *' blind men, because they have sinned I against the Lord : and their blood shall be '■ poured lout as dust, and thqir flesh as the dung. ly Neither their silver nor their gold shall "be I able to deliver them in the day of the Lord's wrath ; ' but the whole land shall be devoured by the fire of ; his jealousy : for he shall make even a '' speedy rid- dance of all them that dwell in the land.
