(60) Rolf Furuli "and the Word was a divine being"
If I were to translate
the Bible for a group with no previous knowledge of it, I would use an
idiomatic method, but I would follow your advise to translate important words
as uniformely as possible. Because I see so much unnecessary theological
coloring of the text in the modern versions, I guess I would be extremely
careful to render theologically important passages as literal as possible. And
the most important thing - I would like to have an extensive apparatus of footnotes,
both giving textual variants and alternative renderings. But I would not
give Louw & Nida's suggestions in a footnote to
To John 1:1, however, I would
use one of the following five renderings in the main text, and the four others
in a footnote: "And the Word was God", "and the Word was
divine", "and the Word was a divine being", "and the Word
was a god", "and god was the word".

Note on the Translation of
1:1-2:
My translation here is
an attempt (maybe not completely successful?) to point out a curiosity and
difficulty in the original Greek of John 1:1c, where the Evangelist writes,
"KAI ThEOS HN hO LOGOS."
If the evangelist meant,
"and the Word was God" (as it is often translated, capital 'God', in
the full Trinitarian sense of later Christianity), he probably would have
written "KAI hO LOGOS HN hO ThEOS" (or "KAI hO ThEOS HN hO LOGOS" - essentially saying A=B or B=A). Instead, he wrote
"KAI ThEOS HN hO LOGOS," omitting the expected article "hO" in front of "ThEOS."
..
The first difference/difficulty: Ancient Greek has "definite articles" (in masculine,
feminine, and neuter forms - but all equivalent to "the" in English),
but it does NOT have any "INdefinite articles" (English "a, an"). In translation,
we usually write "the" if the Greek noun is preceded by a definite
article, while we often (but not always) have to ADD the word "a" or
"an" in standard English when the definite article is missing in
Greek (for example, "hO STAUROS" is "the cross," while
"STAUROS" alone is "a cross"). So translating
"KAI ThEOS HN hO LOGOS" as "and the Word was a god" (as
Jehovah's Witnesses do) adds an indefinite article in English that is not
explicit in the orinigal Greek text, and may or may not be appropriate in English
translation.
A second difference/difficulty: When ancient Greek texts refer to "God" (ThEOS), they usually include the definite article in front, "hO ThEOS," even though translating this too literally sounds strange
in English. We usually just say "God," rather than "the
God." Thinking of "hO ThEOS" as "the (one and only) God" might help, but
still, we do not normally put the" in front of "God." So most
English translations simply drop the definite article whenever "hO ThEOS" refers to the Jewish or Christian monotheistic
"God." In contrast, in polytheistic contexts, it is sometimes better
to translate "hO ThEOS" as "the god" (for example, "He went to the
temple of the god" - implying a particular god, maybe Apollo, from among
the many gods in the Greek pantheon).
..
So what did the Evangelist mean
in John 1:1c? He certainly did
not consider Jesus to be just one "divine being" or "deity"
among many others. If he meant "divine" in this broader sense, he
easily could have used the related Greek adjective, "ThEIOS," rather than the noun "ThEOS." (See, for example, the adjective "ThEIOS" used twice in 2 Peter 1:3-4, referring to "divine
power" and "divine nature"). Other texts in John clearly show
that the Fourth Evangelist sees Jesus in a unique relationship with God,
calling him "the only-begotten son" (TON hUION TON MONOGENH; 3:16), challenging us to believe "in the
name of the only-begotten son of God" (EIS TO ONOMA TOU MONOGENOUS hIOU TOU ThEOU; 3:18), referring to his glory "as of a father's only
son" (hWSMONOGENOUS PARA PATROS; 1:14), and even calling him "the
only-begotten God" (MONOGENHS ThEOS; 1:18 - another difficult phrase, with several ancient textual
variations).
To summarize: The Fourth Evangelist may not yet have thought of Jesus as the
"second person of the Trinity" (theological language that took
several centuries to develop in early Christianity - itself strongly influence
by this Johannine passage); yet John certainly thought of Jesus as
"divine" or "deity" or "god" in a unique sense,
not merely "a god," or one deity among many. Exactly what he
meant in John 1:1c may not be easy to understand, and it is even harder to
translate into English because of the difficulties mentioned above. So rather
than fixate on any particular English translation, even the best of which might
confuse us or lead us astray, we should try to continue deepening our
understanding of what John's entire Gospel says about the uniquely close relationship
of Jesus and the Father.

(69) Dictionary of
the Bible "the word was a divine being.'--Jesuit John L.
McKenzie, 1965 - Dictionary of the Bible# "Trinity.
In the words of Jesus and in
much of the rest of the NT the God of Israel (Gk. ho theos) is the Father* of Jesus
Christ. It is for this reason that the title ho theos, which now designates
the Father as a personal reality, is not applied in the NT to Jesus Himself;
Jesus is the Son of God (of ho theos). This is a matter of usage and not of rule, and the noun [Gk.
ho theos] is applied to Jesus a few times.
"Jn 1:1 should
rigorously be translated "the word was with the God [= the Father], and
the word was a divine being."
Thomas invokes Jesus with
the titles which belong to the *Father, "My Lord and my God" (Jn
(Dictionary of the Bible, John
L. McKenzie, God, p317)
The trinity of God is
defined by the Church as the belief that in God are three persons who
subsist in one nature. The belief as so defined was reached only in the 4th and
5th centuries AD and hence is not explicitly and formally a biblical belief. The
trinity of persons within the unity of nature is defined in terms of
"person" and "nature" which are Gk philosophical terms;
actually the terms do not appear in the Bible.
The trinitarian definitions arose as the result of long controversies in
which these terms and others such as "essence" and
"substance" were erroneously applied to God by some theologians.
... Without an explicit formula the NT leaves no room to think that Jesus
is Himself an object of the adoption which He communicates to others. He knows
the Father and reveals Him. He therefore belongs to the divine level of
being; and there is no question at all about the Spirit belonging to the divine
level of being. What is less clear about the Spirit is His personal
reality; often He is mentioned in language in which His personal reality is not
explicit.

A Note : 70 Different people or Bible Publishers in 70 different situations recognize that was God with a
CAPITAL G is not the universal translation of John 1:1.
And this work has spanned
many centuries and many countries!!
In fact, this information makes it clear that what is orthodox is not orthodox at all rather we see that many
translators realize that God was telling us something very unique about Jesus
in John 1:1 and his relationship with God. Many translators let theology get in
the way of truth - here we see honest efforts to show Gods word correctly
translated.
May we always seek the pure truth of Gods word.
