[W*! f>3#)*gi*!the ruins of the Roman Castle of Richborough still stand;
and thence he might travel, through London, by the Watling Street
to Chester, or by the great north road through Lincoln and York to
Hadrians Wall. Here, as on other frontiers, travel to the Roman
came to an end. Comparatively free of bodily dangers, it was
anything but free of moral risks. The inns were not pleasant to
decent people : and hence the great value attached, when
Christians began to travel, to letters of commendation and to
hospitality. But travel was swift, as speed then went, and sure. A
man could have done his journey of 1,250 miles from Rome to
the Channel without misadventure or delay : and never again, till
our own age, would a feat like that have been open to him. But
then he could have also done what is still impossible to us, for one
language and one coinage would have carried him all the way. A
common language and culture penetrated everywhere by thesegreat routes. Juvenal, 55- c. 135, had a supreme contempt for
the Greek adventurer. But there was a nobler Hellenism which
had furnished models and inspiration to the great writers of the
Augustan age, and which was destined to refashion Italian culture
in the generation following his death. The Emperors from Julius
Caesar to M. Aurelius were, with few exceptions, trained in the
literature of Greece. Even the bluff soldier Vespasian had
an adequate command of the Greek language....From the close ofthe first centuryclassical Latin literature....came to a mysterious
end. The only authors of any merit in the second century wrote in
both languages indifferently.!!!!241!!A3&E%!!E!!>30#&D1!!L1A1!

!Ta*! f>3#)*gii**! But the matter is not that simple. Anyone who
translates also interprets: the translation is not simply a rendering
of the underlying text but also an expression of the translators
understanding of it. And every translator is a child of his own time
and of his own culture. Consequently every translation must be
understood and appreciated as an intellectual achievement in its
own right. This is especially true of the versions of the Bible which
were produced to meet the practical needs of a community. Mostversions of the Bible have been the work of anonymous
translators!(usually of many translators) who have given concrete
expression in their work to the intellectual assumptions of
their age and their culture, the religious and other opinions which
they adhere to or respect, the prejudices and concerns which they
adopt consciously or unconsciously, their education, their ability
to express themselves, the conceptual range of the language theyare translating into, and many other factors. We must therefore
distinguish between what comes from the original text and what is
added by the translator a formidable task to accomplish before
we can use the versions for purposes of textual criticism. fX%1E!

the land. And he went up to Samaria and besieged it three
years. In the ninth yea of Hoshea the king of Assyria took
Samaria, and carried Israel away into Assyria. And he
placed them in Halah, and in Habor by the river Gozan,
and in the cities of the Medes. So the LORD was very
angry with Israel, and turned them away from His face;
not one was left, only the tribe of Judah by itself. Also
Judah did not keep the commandments of the LORD theirGod, but walked in the statutes which Israel made. And
the LORD rejected all the seed of Israel, and afflicted
them, and delivered them into the hand of spoilers,

until He had cast them out of His sight. For He tore Israel
from the house of David. And they made Jeroboam the son
of Nebat king. And Jeroboam drove Israel away from
following the LORD, and made them sin a great sin. For
the sons of Israel walked in all the sins of Jeroboam which
he did. They did not depart from them until the LORDturned away Israel from His face as He had said by all His
servants the prophets. So Israel was carried away out of
their own land to Assyria until this day. And the king of
Assyria brought men from Babylon, and from Cuthah, and
from Ava, and from Hamath, and from Sepharvaim, and
placed them in the cities of Samaria instead of the sons of
Israel. And they possessed Samaria and lived in its cities.`!!
