Problem with 4.9.1 not showing all available translations inline verse study

colonnieves — Wed, 17 Nov 2010 08:09:20 GMT

Anybody having problems with some verses showing only one translation available when others show all of your installed translations in the Build your own Bible Study feature?

For example: I have KJV, NIV, NASS, MSG, NETP Sometimes when I select inline study with one verse (Col 1:1), it will only show KJV as the other alternate translation (NIV is primary), but when you go to verse 8 it will show all available. This behavior is erratic at best as far as I can tell.

HELP!

NRSV & NIV: confusing punctuation errors

Pablo — Tue, 21 Sep 2010 00:10:25 GMT

In both the NRSV and NIV translations, an en dash (a.k.a. hyphen or dash) is consistently used where an em dash (a.k.a. double-dash) should be used. An example of this is in Romans 9:1. This tends to confuse or even change the meaning, as it implies hyphenated words rather than a parenthetic break in a sentence. (Maybe it's just me, but I stumble over these every time I read one!)

If I'm wrong on this, please educate me; otherwise I'd suggest correcting these. (Don't know if this occurs in other translations or not.)

Thank you.

NASB missing quotation marks

marka — Sun, 15 Mar 2009 23:25:23 GMT

It's not really a bug, but it's bugging me. just about every instance in the NT where Jesus' spoken words are quoted there appears to be a problem. Each verse starts with quotation marks, but isn't closed with them. Actually, it's probably more of a case that there are opening quotes when they are not needed.

If there is a block of text that stretches over 5 verses then there is an opening quote at the start of every verse, not just the first one, and a closing quote at the end of the last one. I think the middle ones are being inserted by error.

I'm using mantis 4.0.0 Free with additionally downloaded NASB (Which has been re-downloaded for the new version.)

I believe I have found an error in the NIV and TNIV translation

mattyross — Thu, 09 Jun 2011 11:02:55 GMT

God led me to a passage in the New International Version of the Holy Bible (I also checked TNIV to see if it was the same), it was 1 Samuel 5 verses 7-10. In these verses our God's name has a lower case g, it appears that way 5 times when placed between 'Speech' marks, I went and checked 1 Samuel 5 verses 7-10 in a very old King James Bible (family Bible dated 1853) that translation has our God's name with a capital G. I have put up an event on 'Facebook' and sent out a group email to all my Christian friends asking them their opinion on this. Also I have checked 21 other English translations and found they all have our God's name with a Capital G. Listed below is the webpage that I found all the different translations on. I am very concerned that this is could be an error in the New International Version Translation and Todays New International.

Iphone NKJV

Abelkim — Thu, 16 Aug 2012 23:57:40 GMT

There is a typo error in the NKJV iphone version. 1 Thessalonians 4:1, just after this verse there is wrong text picked from 1 Thes 4:13 sandwiched before 1 Thes 4:2.
Finally then, brethren, we urge and exhort in the Lord Jesus that you should abound more and more, just as you received from us how you ought to walk and to please God; fallen asleep, lest you sorrow as others who have no hope.

MacArthur Commentary Error 2nd, 3rd John and Jude

latemarch — Mon, 01 Apr 2013 20:17:46 GMT

The MacArthur commentary in 2John, 3John and Jude has all of the verse notes clustered together under verse one rather than distributed thru the verses.

NKJV Errors Jeremiah

latemarch — Mon, 12 Nov 2012 22:14:48 GMT

Jeremiah 49:14, 51:14 and 51:37 there are lines that end in !RM

Because it is attached to the preceding word you will not find that word in a search. It seems to render the word invisible.

A search also does not find the !RM

NKJV Error Song of Solomon

latemarch — Sat, 10 Nov 2012 22:28:28 GMT

There are headers added by the translators to describe who is talking.

After Chapter 1 vs 3 There are four headers in a row

"The Daughters of JerusalemThe ShulamiteThe Daughters of JerusalemThe Shulamite"

The headers actually start after the first line of vs4 and then alternate and are distributed through vs 4.

I can see why they all ended up in front of vs 4......but still!

Geneva bible is broken

yolyphone — Sun, 30 Sep 2012 08:48:46 GMT

Just downloaded the Geneva bible and there are a lot of typos with it. The the "u"'s and "v"'s are mixed up and e's are at the end of some letters. I have read this translation in other places and it never looked like this. Tell if I'm wrong?!?

CWS Lexical Aids incomplete text

ikmgrybak — Wed, 29 Jun 2011 03:13:39 GMT

I have noticed several instances where the text of the LEX aid from the CWS is incomplete.

In Psalm 119:11, opening the Strong's reference for the word 'heart' shows the information for H3820. When I open the LEX link for this entry, the text ends with "The term may refer to the inne", obviously incomplete. Checking my Keyword Study Bible for the same entry, it seems the last half of the final sentence is missing. Finding other instances of the entry seem to have the incomplete text as well.

In Matthew 4:4, looking at the lexical aid for the word 'written' (G1125), the text ends with "2 Corinthians 3:7 we deduce". In this case, it looks like about half of the text is missing.

In Hebrews 4:12, the lexical aid for 'word' (G3056) ends with "In oth".

I just happened upon these three examples during a single service a few Sundays ago. I have not noticed any other entries with missing text since that time.

Cheers and regards.

Psalms Attributions in WEB Error

latemarch — Sat, 16 Apr 2011 21:24:13 GMT

Each attribution, instead of at the beginning of the Psalm is at the bottom of the previous Psalm.

I mistakenly put this same problem in the bugs forum.

Missing Words in NASB with Strongs

Ccvchuck — Tue, 23 Nov 2010 23:59:27 GMT

I am finding quite a few verses that are missing word in 1st Samuel. For instance in 1 Sam 17:14, 41, the verses are missing words.

MAC Psalms reference errors

bbrigtoo — Thu, 30 Sep 2010 08:07:06 GMT

There are several places in the MAC Psalms where the cross references are obviously mislabeled. For example, in chapter 6, 6:1-10, it references the penitential psalms and lists (among others) Pss 1:102; Pss 1:130; Pss 1:143. This same thing happens other places in the MAC Psalms. I know these would not open anyway, because there are no verses called out, but for some reason I click on them anyways.

On a related subject, are there any plans on having the references open whole chapters when no verses are included?

HOTS displayed wrong in 4.8.8

tackes — Mon, 20 Sep 2010 23:15:13 GMT

I downloaded the HOTS for version 4.8.8. It is not displayed correctly. I should be displayed from right to left and not from left to right. As it is displayed, it is practically useless for a Hebrew text.

Your display -- http://mantisbible.com/Store/tabid/86/CategoryID/0/List/1/Level/a/ProductID/93/Default.aspx?SortField=UnitCost+DESC%2cProductName -- is the way the text should be displayed.

I'm hoping you will correct this problem soon because HOTS is not very useful as it is.

Thanks.

proverbs 17, 21-28

Jude references unusable

bbrigtoo — Mon, 09 Aug 2010 09:06:40 GMT

All the verse references to Jude, at least in the NIV and in MAC, only give the verse, since there is only one chapter. Selecting the verse doesn't open up the text. I found that in the notes I need to put Jude 1:xx to make the reference work.
