   Hi from South africa (at Restoration Fellowship in George).
   Please suggest a good translation of the Bible.

     The most accurate is The Concordant Literal Translation. But, among the mass-market translations, I prefer the New American Standard Bible (NASB), provided it has the cross-references that include the literal translation of ‘problematic’ words. (ALWAYS go with the literal translation of these words!). The edition of the NASB that I normally use is “The New Inductive Study Bible” (Harvest House Pub.). If you are studying Torah, then Artscroll’s “Stone Chumash” is a great resource. (But, even it has a few biases that sneak into the translation.) For the Apostolic Scriptures, I really like David Bentley Hart’s “The New Testament”. Very refreshing! But, again, the most accurate is the Concordant. Hope this helps!
