== History ==
=== Oldest partial translations ===
Several partial translations of the [[Bible]] into [[Old Dutch]] and [[Middle Dutch]] have been handed down in manuscripts. All these [[Middle Ages|Medieval]] translations were made from [[Latin]], usually the [[Latin Vulgate]], the official version employed by the [[Catholic Church]]. After the early Medieval Christianisation of the language area of Old Dutch (Old [[Low Franconian]]), the entire populace was nominally Catholic, but very few were literate, let alone in Latin.

The ''[[Wachtendonck Psalms]]'' could be considered the oldest known biblical fragments in 'Dutch'. Although found in [[Munsterbilzen Abbey]] by Flemish humanist [[Justus Lipsius]] in the late 16th century, these texts most likely originated in the Dutch–German borderlands between the [[Meuse]] and [[Rhine]] rivers in the 9th or 10th century.<ref name="quak">Arend Quak, ''Die altmittel- und altniederfränkischen Psalmen und Glossen'' (1981). Amsterdam: Rodopi.</ref> Although the texts' language is Old Dutch, Psalms 1 to 3 show clear [[Central Franconian languages|Central Franconian]] characteristics.<ref name="inleiding">Arend Quak, Joop van der Horst, ''Inleiding Oudnederlands'' (2002). Leuven: Universitaire Pers Leuven. ISBN 90-5867-207-7.</ref> It is generally assumed that the texts as handed down are an Old Dutch redaction of a Central Franconian original.<ref name="quak"/> Another contender is the [[Rhinelandic Rhyming Bible]], a series of fragments of biblical histories translations into an apparent mix of [[Old High German]], [[Old Saxon]], and Old Dutch from the early 12th century. However, due to the paucity of evidence, it's difficult to date, linguistically classify and geographically pinpoint the origins of these writings; although a number of scholars associate it with the German [[Rhineland]], possibly the [[Werden Abbey]], this remains undetermined.<ref>David A. Wells, ''[https://brill.com/view/title/27594 The Central Franconian Rhyming Bible: An Early-Twelfth-Century German Vers Homiliary]'' (2004), p. 282. Amsterdam/New York: Rodopi B.V.</ref><ref name="Tervooren">Helmut Tervooren, ''Van der masen tot op den Rijn'' (2006), p. 45–47. Berlin: Erich Schmidt Verlag.</ref>

The oldest partial translation which can with certainty be called 'Dutch' is the ((interlanguage link|Southern Netherlands Gospel Translation|nl|Zuid-Nederlandse evangelievertaling)). This text is only attested in four 14th-century manuscripts, but probably dates from around 1200. C.C. de Bruin (1935) concluded that it was an example of a very poor translation of the four canonical gospels from the [[Latin Vulgate]]: he thought that the author likely neither mastered Latin nor his own native tongue in writing. Later scholars developed more nuanced positions; this gospel translation might just have been a tool for Latin-knowing clerics to explain to their congregations the texts' meaning in the vernacular. It was not meant to be read by or in front of the general public, as the liturgical language was Latin.<ref>Theo Coun, ''De Zuid-Nederlandse vertaling van de vier evangelien'' in Gillaerts, Paul (red.) ''De Bijbel in de Lage Landen'' (2015), Royal Jongbloed.</ref><ref>Frits van Oostrum, ''Stemmen op schrift. Geschiedenis van de Nederlandse literatuur vanaf het begin tot 1300'' (2006). Bert Bakker.</ref> 

=== Advanced and first printed translations ===
[[File:Rijmbijbel fragment.jpg|thumb|393px|A fragment from manuscript no. 1250, a copy of [[Jacob van Maerlant]]'s ''Rijmbijbel'' produced in the late 14th century<ref>((Cite web|url=https://lib.ugent.be/viewer/archive.ugent.be:867E61FE-731A-11E8-85E6-FBBA0AD9BE4D#?c=&m=&s=&cv=5&xywh=-74,-608,2761,2258|title=Rijmbijbel [fragment]|accessdate=22 September 2020|work=lib.ugent.be))</ref>]]
A later example is the ''Rijmbijbel'' of [[Jacob van Maerlant]] (1271), a poetic edition of the [[Petrus Comestor]]'s ''[[Historia scholastica]]'' (c. 1173). It was not a literal translation, but a so-called "history Bible": a freely translated compilation of texts from the "[[historical books]]" of the Bible mixed with extrabiblical sources and traditions. Another example is the [[Prince-Bishopric of Liège|Liégeois]] ''Leven van Jesus'' ("Life of Jesus"), a [[gospel harmony]] based on [[Tatian]]'s Latin ''[[Diatessaron]]''. This "((interlanguage link|Liège Diatessaron|nl|Luikse diatessaron))", which was of comparatively high quality next to many poor translations, was most likely produced around 1280 in the entourage of ((interlanguage link|Willem van Affligem|nl|Willem van Affligem)), the abbot of [[Sint-Truiden Abbey]].<ref name="Encarta"/> 

Several Middle Dutch translations of the [[Book of Revelation|Apocalypse of John]], the Psalms, the Epistles and the Gospels appeared in [[County of Flanders|Flanders]] and [[Duchy of Brabant|Brabant]] at the end of the 13th and the beginning of the 14th century.<ref name="Encarta"/> Later, the entourage of Brabantian mystic [[John of Ruusbroec]] (1293–1381) produced a full translation of all non-historical books of the New Testament.<ref name="Encarta"/> Evidence suggests that such late Medieval Dutch translations were in widespread use in the Low Countries and the German [[Rhineland]] amongst monks, nuns and wealthy [[Burgher (social class)|burghers]].<ref name="Encarta"/>

The first nearly complete Middle Dutch translation from the Latin Vulgate was the ''((interlanguage link|Hernse Bijbel|nl|Hernse Bijbel))'' or ''Zuid-Nederlandse Historiebijbel'' ("Southern Netherlands History Bible"). It was probably made at the Carthusian monastery in [[Herne, Belgium]], in the second half of the fourteenth century, probably in 1360. Scholars refer to the anonymous author as the "((interlanguage link|Bible translator of 1360|nl|Bijbelvertaler van 1360))"; some identify Petrus Naghel as the translator, but others are not convinced. Around 1390, an anonymous "((interlanguage link|Northern Netherlands New Testament Translation|nl|Noord-Nederlandse vertaling van het Nieuwe Testament))" also emerged: the oldest surviving manuscript from 1391 had no gospels, but a 1399 manuscript contains the entire New Testament. Scholars find it highly probable that it was written by the [[Congregation of Windesheim|Windesheim monk]] Johan Scutken (died 1423).<ref>Suzan Folkerts, "De Noord-Nederlandse vertaling van het Nieuwe Testament" in Paul Gillaerts (ed.) ''De Bijbel in de Lage Landen'' (2015). Royal Jongbloed.</ref><ref>Sabrina Corbellini, "De Noordnederlandse vertaling van het Nieuwe Testament. Het paradijs in een kloostercel" in Kwakkel, Den Hollander, Scheepsma (ed.) ''Middelnederlandse bijbelvertalingen'' (2007). Hilversum: Uitgeverij Verloren.</ref> 

The ''Hernse Bijbel'' served as a template for the oldest print translation of Biblical books into the Middle Dutch language: the [[Delft Bible]] (''Delftse Bijbel''), printed in [[Delft]] in 1477. This translation from the Latin Vulgate only included the Old Testament with Apocrypha but without the Psalms. Around the same time, parts of the ((interlanguage link|history Bible of Johan Scutken|nl|Johan Scutkens Historiebijbel)) were also printed: the ''Epistelen en evangeliën'' ("Epistles and Gospels", first publication in [[Utrecht]] in 1478) and the ''Psalmen'' ("Psalms", first publication in Delft in 1480). Because the latter two satisfied the needs of most vernacular readers – primarily nuns in convents – no full Dutch Bible translation was ever printed before the Reformation.<ref name="Encarta">''[[Encarta]] [[Winkler Prins]] Encyclopaedia'' (1993–2002) s.v.

=== Reformation era translations ===
[[File:Statenvertaling title page.jpg|thumb|Title page of the original 1637 ''[[Statenvertaling]]'']]
During the sixteenth century the ''Liesveltbijbel'' (first ed. 1526, [[Antwerp]], many later editions), ''Biestkensbijbel'' (1560) and the ''Deux-Aesbijbel'' (1562, [[Emden]]) were produced. These editions were all Protestant and therefore unauthorised, as a result their availability would have been poor at times. An authorised Catholic translation based on the Latin Vulgate to counter the ''[[Textus Receptus]]'' favoured by Protestants was also produced, the ''Leuvense Bijbel'' (1548, [[Louvain]]). These were the oldest print translations of the entire Bible into Dutch. The ''[[Willem Vorsterman|Vorstermanbijbel]]'' (Antwerp, 1528 several later editions) was a semi-authorised version with a mix of Latin Vulgate and ''Textus Receptus'' translations that is difficult to classify as either 'Catholic' or 'Protestant'; later editions generally removed Reformationist passages and followed the Vulgate ever more closely, aligning it more with Catholicism.

[[Philips of Marnix, Lord of Saint-Aldegonde]] (1538–1598), who was among the leaders of the [[Dutch Revolt]], and [[Pieter Datheen]] were tasked in 1578 by the second national synod of the Reformed church in Dort to produce a translation into Dutch, although this did not result in a translation.<ref>Selderhuis (ed), ''Handboek Nederlandse kerkgeschiedenis''.</ref> Philips of Marnix was again asked to translate the Bible in 1594 and 1596, but he was unable to finish this work before he died in 1598. His translation influenced the later ''[[Statenvertaling]]'' or ''Statenbijbel''.

The first authorised Bible translation into Dutch directly from Greek (using the ''Textus Receptus'') and Hebrew sources was the ''[[Statenvertaling]]''. It was ordered by the [[Estates-General of the Netherlands|States-General]] of the emerging [[Dutch Republic]] at the [[Synod of Dort]] in 1618/19, and first published in 1637. It soon became the generally accepted translation for the Calvinist [[Reformed Churches]] in the Northern Netherlands and remained so well into the 20th century. It was supplanted to a large extent in 1951 by the ''Nederlands Bijbelgenootschap'' (NBG) translation, better known as ((interlanguage link|NBG 1951|nl|NBG 1951)), which still uses relatively old-fashioned language.

Lutherans in the Dutch Republic employed the ''Biestkensbijbel'' since 1560, but there was a need for a proper Dutch translation of the Luther Bible (written in High German) to preserve their identity vis-à-vis the ''Statenvertaling'' that was deemed too Calvinist, and to provide immigrated Lutheran Germans with an appropriate Dutch translation. To this end, a translation commission was set up in 1644 headed by the Lutheran preacher Adolph Visscher (1605–1652), resulting in the Lutheran translation of 1648. Although the preface claimed it was a new translation, this was in fact not the case. Nevertheless, this version became so well-known amongst Dutch Lutherans and the later [[Evangelical Lutheran Church in the Kingdom of the Netherlands]] (1818–2004) as an exceptional translation associated with the commission's president that it became known as the "((interlanguage link|Visscherbijbel|nl|Visscherbijbel))". After 1951, most Lutherans switched to the ((interlanguage link|NBG 1951|nl|NBG 1951)).<ref name="Visscherbijbel">((Cite web |url=https://www.bijbelsdigitaal.nl/lutherse-vertaling-1648/ |title=Lutherse vertaling (1648) |author= |work=bijbelsdigitaal.nl |publisher=Nederlands-Vlaams Bijbelgenootschap |date=2009 |access-date=21 September 2021))</ref>

=== Modern translations ===
[[File:Nieuwe Bijbelvertaling gereedgekomen.ogg|thumb|thumbtime=67|[[Polygoon (newsreel)|Polygoon]] newsreel about the NBG 1951 translation (with English subtitles)]]
In order to replace the outdated ''Statenvertaling'' with a more accurate, modern, critical edition that was acceptable to all Protestant churches in the Netherlands, the Nederlands Bijbelgenootschap (NBG, "Dutch Bible Society") set up two commissions with experts and representatives from most denominations to produce the NBG 1951, which would grow to become the new Protestant standard for the second half of the 20th century. Most Calvinist and Lutheran congregations adopted it. Only a minority of conservative Calvinist churches rejected it, favouring the old ''Statenvertaling'' instead. Catholics developed their own alternative, the Willibrordvertaling (1961–1978, authorised by the Catholic Church); the 1995 second edition was never authorised by the Catholic Church, but a special edition of it with a 'Protestant' ordering of chapters was adopted by a few Protestant churches. Some other examples of modern Dutch language translations are ''Groot Nieuws Bijbel'' (GNB, 1996), and the [[International Bible Society]]'s ''Het Boek'' (1987). 

In 2004, the ''Nieuwe Bijbelvertaling'' (NBV) translation appeared, which was produced by an ecumenical translation team, and is intended as an all-purpose translation for pulpit and home use. It is a critical, Alexandrian text-type version, based on the 27th Nestle–Aland edition of 2001. However, some theologians levelled criticism on its accuracy.<ref>For instance the book ''Het luistert nauw'' by ((Interlanguage link multi|Karel Deurloo|nl)) and ((Interlanguage link multi|Nico ter Linden|nl)).</ref> Around the same time, there has also been much work on very literal, [[idiolect]] translations, such as the ''Naarden'' translation of 2004, Albert Koster's translation of the Old Testament, a work in progress since 1991, and the Torah translation of the Societas Hebraica Amstelodamensis.((Citation needed|date=November 2007)) In December 2010, the ''Herziene Statenvertaling'' ("Revised States Translation") was released. It essentially replicates the ''Statenvertaling'' of 1637 into modern Dutch, and was produced by conservative Protestants who maintained that the Byzantine ''Textus Receptus'' was superior to the Alexandrian text-type that modern scholars used for critical editions, such as the 2004 ''Nieuwe Bijbelvertaling''.

In October 2014, the ''Bijbel in Gewone Taal'' ("Bible in Normal Language") was released.<ref>((cite web|url=https://www.bijbelgenootschap.nl/feestelijke-uitreiking-bijbel-gewone-taal-aan-koning-willem-alexander/|title=Feestelijke uitreiking Bijbel in Gewone Taal aan koning Willem-Alexander - Nederlands Bijbelgenootschap|date=1 October 2014|publisher=))</ref>
