Mer än filologi : Textkritiska positioner i Svenska Folkbibeln och Bibel 2000

• The purpose of the paper is to investigate the text-critical positions of two contemporary Old Testament (OT) translations into Swedish, Svenska Folkbibeln and Bibel 2000, and how these positions are affected by various contextual factors. An overarching idea of the paper is that the text-critical position of any given translation is as much a reflection of theological and ideological as philological concerns. In the paper, this is examined with respect to four verses from different OT books, Gen 49:10, Deut 32:8, Is 7:14, and Psa 22:17. Following the survey of how the translations position themselves text-critically in these verses, the relationship between each translation’s position is addressed and discussed. The paper hereby seeks to understand these positions not so much as sharp contrasts, but rather as an outcome of certain mutual outsets. It is argued that the single most important outset for both translations is the historical-critical paradigm in biblical studies, with roots in the early modern era. Translations rejecting historical-critical biblical scholarship (Svenska Folkbibeln), as well as the ones embracing it (Bibel 2000), cannot fail to observe the basic premisses of this research paradigm. In other words, the text-critical positions investigated in the paper are unthinkable outside of this paradigm, which accordingly can be assessed as the single most important contextual factor shaping the text-critical positions of the translations under scrutiny.
