The Reina Valera is the most
common and respected Spanish translation used amongst the traditional folks,
much like the King James version. The original
was done in 1569, with several updates along the way (1569 Reina Valera
Antigua, 1960 and 1995). All editions of the Reina-Valera are not alike! From
1622 through 1865 many people revised or reprinted the Reina-Valera Bible,
changing words at times, (though not their meaning). It was the American Bible
Society (ABS) that radically change the Spanish Bible!
Cassidoro de Reina (1520-1594)
is considered the first Spanish Bible translator, work which took 12 years
under the cost of much personal sacrifice. Cipriano
de Valera (1531-1602) was a disciple of Cassidoro de Reina and continued his
work correcting the mistakes of the 1569 edition with the 1602 edition, eight
years after the death of Cassidoro de Reina, considered a hero of the faith.
Many modern translators have
misused the prestige and the name Reina-Valera dishonestly, only to take
advantage of them for the sake of advertisement.
The names Reina and Valera for
the Spanish speaking Christians are equivalent to the King James translators
for the English speaking Christians. Reina and Valera used the original texts
recognized by the reformers and produced their translation.
The 1960 Reina-Valera is a
corrupt version because the Catholic Church is involved. The 1960 Reina-Valera
is a Catholic Bible! This Bible does not use italics, which is a total
dishonesty with the reader. The 1960 version is based on the Critical Greek
Text of the United Bible Societies which is the most blatant fraud of
Bibliology.
The use of italics as the King
James Bible does and all which make use of the Formal equivalence method, is a
sign of high esteem and consideration of the translators to the reader. This
false Reina-Valera (1960) does not make use of the italics. They hide the words
they subtracted added and modified so the reader think that everything reflect
the original. They are not transparent and the reader becomes hostage of the
arrogance of the heretics and liberals.
Calvin George, who claims to be
a fundamentalist, is the one who is spreading a lot of misinformation and
errors about about the Reina-Valera bible in general, it is only the 1960 and
newer versions that are corrupt.
