Bible Family Tree: fun little side project showing the changes between different version of the Bible: j.hn/lab/bible-family-tree/
How is AI helping Bible translation? I'm checking a translation of Ezekiel and asked Claude to draw this comparison of interpretations of the altar (Ezk 43:13-17). Now just to choose which to follow… then can generate one for the translation. On ne rigole pas !
ALT Ezk autel
When an English or French Bible says "prince" in the OT, the Hebrew is often nasi: a tribal chief (Num 1-7) or, in Ezekiel, a ruler under God. Never a king's son. "Prince" has largely shifted in meaning from chief (Latin princeps). Today we hear "son of the king."
ALT Lion Subduing a Prince of Kush New Kingdom, Ramesside ca. 1290–1224 BCE https://www.metmuseum.org/art/collection/search/544760
The Met calls this "Lion Subduing a Prince of Kush," but the inscription on his skirt calls him "the wretched Chief." Lion from the palace of Ramesses II at Piramesse (biblical Raamses [Ex 1:11]), c. 1290-1224 BCE. metmuseum.org/art/collection…
For the inscription, see William C. Hayes, The Scepter of Egypt, vol. 2, pp. 336-337, fig. 212: "Says the wretched [fallen] chief of Kush, 'The breath of life!'" archive.org/details/TheScept…

When asked where to draw the line in Bible translation, behold this rendering from a land far, far away:
« ... comme un ogre qui dévore ses propres enfants. »
Ézékiel 36:13 NFC
Cp original Français courant; editors revised the verse but chose to keep ogre.

Hac intellegentiae artificialis aetate, urgens fit humanam artem ab iis distinguere, quae machinis efficiuntur. Ars enim et ea, quae machina ex innumeris alienis imaginibus statisticae ope computationis generare potest, ontologice, prius etiam quam aesthetice, inter se differunt. Algorithmis humani deest favilla. Quapropter Ecclesia cum artificibus et humani cultus institutis foedus renovare cupit: foedus scilicet ad humanum custodiendum.
