耶和华见证人在其《觉醒!》杂志1957年9月8日一期中刊登了这一醒目的标题——"圣经中有五万处错误?"(下方为该页的复制图)。

The Jehovah's Witnesses in their "AWAKE!" Magazine dated 8 September, 1957, carried this startling headline — "50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" (See below for the reproduction).

当我还在构思这本小册子的主题时，一个星期天的早晨，我听到门口有人敲门。我开门一看，一位欧洲绅士站在门外，咧着嘴笑得很灿烂。"早上好！"他说。"早上好。"我回答。他递给我他的《觉醒！》和《守望台》杂志。没错，是耶和华见证人！如果你之前也有人敲过门，你一定马上就能认出他们。这是我见过的最自高自大的一群人，总是挨家挨户地敲门！我还是请他进了屋。

While I was still formulating the theme of this booklet, I heard a knock at my door one Sunday morning. I opened the door. A European gentleman stood there, grinning broadly. "Good morning'" he said. "Good morning" I replied. He was offering me his "Awake" and "Watchtower" magazines. Yes, a Jehovah's Witness! If a few had knocked at your door previously, you will recognize them immediately. The most supercilious lot of people who ever knocked at people's doors! I invited him in.

当他一坐定,我就拿出了下面所示内容的完整复印件。我指着页面顶部的小册子问:"这是你的吗?"他立刻认出那是他自己的。我说:"上面写着:《圣经》中有50 000处错误,这是真的吗?"他惊叫道:"什么!"我重复道:"我说,上面写着你们的《圣经》中有50 000处错误。"他问:"你从哪里弄来的?"(这是23年前出版的,那时他或许还只是个小不点儿。)我说:"别扯那些花哨的话了——这是你的吗?"我再次指着小册子,说:"《觉醒!》"他说:"我能看一下吗?""当然,"我说,并把那一页递给他。他开始仔细阅读。他们(耶和华见证人)是受过训练的。他们每周在"王国聚会所"上五次课。自然,他们是基督教世界中千千万万个教派和宗派里最会传教的人。他们被教导说:当被逼到墙角时,不要承诺任何事情,不要开口,等待圣灵启示你该说什么。

As soon as he settled down, I produced the full reproduction of what you see below. Pointing to the monograph at the top of the page, I asked, "Is this your's?" He readily recognized his own. I said, "It says: 50 000 Errors in the Bible, is it true?" "What's that!" he exclaimed. I repeated, "I said, that it says, that there are 50 000 errors in your Bible." "Where did you get that?" He asked. (This was published 23 years ago, when he was perhaps a little nipper) I said, "Leave the fancy talk aside — is this your's?" pointing again to the monograph — "Awake!" He said, "Can I have a look?" "Of course," I said. I handed him the page. He started perusing. They (the Jehovah's Witnesses) are trained. They attend classes five times a week in their "Kingdom Halls." Naturally, they are the fittest missionaries among the thousand -and - one - sects - and - denominations of Christendom. They are taught that when cornered, do not commit yourself to anything, do not open your mouths. Wait for the Holy Ghost to inspire you with what to say.

我默默地看着他浏览网页。突然，他抬起头来。他找到了。那个"圣灵"触动了他。他开始说："文章说，"这些错误中的大多数已经被消除了。"我问道："如果大多数错误已被消除，那么在50000个中还剩多少？5000？500？50？即使还剩50个，你会把这些错误归于上帝吗？"他哑口无言。他借口说，他会再来，并带上他教会的某位资深成员。那将是个什么日子！如果我手边有这本小册子，我会提议给他，并说："我想帮你一个忙，请告诉我你的名字、地址和电话号码。我会把这本小册子借给你90天——《圣经》是上帝的话语吗？"我想要一份书面回复！"如果你这样做，而其他一些穆斯林也这样做，他们和其他传教士就再也不会踏进你的家门了。我相信这份出版物将是迄今为止最有效的"护身符"。因夏安拉！这个"邪教"耶和华见证人在谴责正统三位一体派"玩弄上帝之道"时非常强硬，但他们自己也在玩同样的文字游戏。在所评论的文章《圣经中的50000个错误？》中，他们说："可能有50000个错误……错误已潜入圣经文本……50000个如此严重的（？）错误……大多数所谓的错误……总体而言，圣经是准确的。"（？）

I silently kept watching him, while he browsed the page. Suddenly he looked up. He had found it. The "Holy Ghost" had tickled him. He began, "The article says that "most of those errors have been eliminated." I asked "If MOST are eliminated, how many remain out of 50000? 5000? 500? 50? Even if 50 remain, do you attribute those errors to God?" He was speechless. He excused himself by suggesting that he will come again with some senior member of his Church. That will be the day! If I had this booklet ready, I would have offered him, saying — "I would like to do you a favour, give me your name and address, and your telephone number. I will lend you this booklet — IS THE BIBLE GOD'S WORD?" for 90 days. I want a written reply!" If you do this, And a few other Muslims do the same. They and the other missionaries will never darken your doors again. I believe that this publication will prove the most effective talisman to date. Insha-Allah! This "cult" of Jehovah's Witnesses which is so strong in its condemnation of the orthodox Trinitarians, for playing with the "Word of God," is itself playing the same game of semantic gymnastics. In the article under review — "50000 ERRORS IN THE BIBLE?" — they say: "there are probably 50 000 errors . . . errors that have crept into the Bible text . . . 50000 such serious (?) errors… most of those so-called errors... as a whole the Bible is accurate." (?)

我们没有足够的时间和篇幅去逐一讨论修订标准版(RSV)的作者试图修正的成千上万处——无论是重大还是轻微的——缺陷。这一任务留给圣经的基督教学者们去完成。在这里，我将仅对其中"六个左右"的"轻微"改动略作浏览。

We do not have the time and space to go into the tens of thousands of — grave or minor — defects that the authors of the Revised Standard Version (RSV) have attempted to revise. We leave that privilege to the Christian scholars of the Bible. Here I will endeavour to cast just a cursory glance at a "half-a-dozen" or so of those "minor" changes.

因此，主自己必给你们一个兆头：必有童女怀孕生子，给他起名叫以马内利。（以赛亚书 7:14 - AV）

1. "Therefore the Lord himself shall give you a sign: Behold, a VIRGIN shall conceive, and bear a son, and shall call his name Immanuel." (Isaiah 7:14 - AV)

这段经文中不可或缺的"VIRGIN"一词，如今在RSV译本中已被"a young woman"一语取代，这才是希伯来文almah一词的正确译法。almah一直是希伯来原文中出现的词，而不是意为"处女"的bethulah。这一更正只见于英文译本，因为RSV只以英语出版。对于非洲人和南非白人、阿拉伯人和祖鲁人，事实上对于世界上其他1500种语言的使用者来说，基督徒仍被迫吞下"VIRGIN"这个误称。

"耶稣是上帝独生的儿子，是受生而非被造的"，这是正统教义问答的一项附属内容，其依据如下：

"Jesus is the only begotten son of God, begotten not made," is an adjunct of the orthodox catechism, leaning for support on the following:

"因为神爱世人，甚至将他的独生子赐给他们，叫一切信他的，不至灭亡，反得永生。"（约翰福音 3:16 - AV）

2. For God so loved the world, that he gave his only BEGOTTEN son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." (John 3:16 - AV)

任何一位称职的神父在向准备入教的人布道时，都不会不引用"父独一的圣子"这句话。然而，这一伪造的词语"BEGOTTEN"（独一的）如今已被圣经修订者不加说明地删去，他们对此闭口不言，如同教堂里的老鼠一般沉默，也从不提醒读者注意这一暗中的删改。这个亵渎性的词语"BEGOTTEN"，不过是《圣经》中众多此类篡改之一。真主在其被添加后不久便以最严厉的言辞谴责了这一亵渎之语，并没有等待二千年，让圣经学者来揭露这一骗局。

No priest worth his cloth would fail to quote "the only BEGOTTEN of the Father!" when preaching to a prospective convert. But this fabrication — "BEGOTTEN" — has now been unceremoniously excised by the Bible Revisers, without a word of excuse. They are as silent as church-mice and would not draw the reader's attention to their furtive excision. This blasphemous word "BEGOTTEN" was another of the many such interpolations in the "Holy Bible." God Almighty condemned this blasphemy in the strongest terms soon after its innovation. He did not wait for 2000 years for Bible scholars to reveal the fraud.

穆斯林世界应当祝贺基督教世界的“五十个合作教派”及其智囊团“三十二位声望极高的学者”，因为他们使其圣经向古兰经所揭示的真理又靠近了一步。

The Muslim World should congratulate the "Fifty cooperating denominations" of Christendom and their Brains Trust the "Thirty-two scholars of the highest eminence" for bringing their Holy Bible a degree nearer to the Qur-anic truth.

3. "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST: and these three are one." 第一约翰书 5:7 – 钦定本（AV）这节经文最接近基督徒所谓的“圣三一”，而基督徒称之为“圣经”的这部百科全书里，正是这样记载的。基督教信仰的这一基石，在《修订标准译本》（RSV）中竟被删去，连一点解释都没有。它一直是一场虔诚的欺骗，因此它在英语世界的《修订标准译本》中被删除，实属理所应当。但世界上其余1499个语言群体仍在以本族语阅读这些基督教的编造之词，这场欺骗依然存在。这些人在审判日来临之前，都无从知晓真相。然而，我们穆斯林必须再次向那些诚实到愿意从英文（RSV）圣经中剔除另一个谎言的博士们表示祝贺，正是这一做法，使他们的圣书又朝伊斯兰的教义迈近了一步。因为《古兰经》说：

3. "For there are three that bear record in heaven, the FATHER, the WORD, and the HOLY GHOST: and these three are one." 1st Epistle of John 5:7 - AV This verse is the closest approximation to what the Christians call their Holy Trinity in the encyclopaedia called the BIBLE. This key-stone of the Christian faith has also been scrapped from the RSV without even a semblance of explanation. It has been a pious fraud all along and well-deservedly has it been expunged in the RSV for the English-speaking people. But for the 1499 remaining language groups of the world who read the Christian concoctions in their mother tongues, the fraud remains. These people will never know the truth until the Day of Judgement. However, we Muslims must again congratulate the galaxy of D.D.’s who have been honest enough to eliminate another lie from the English (RSV) Bible, thus bringing their Holy Book yet another step closer to the teachings of Islam. For the Holy Qur'an says:

*不是三位一体中的一位。不是三位一体中的一位。*

* Not one in a trinity. Not one in a trinity.

RSV的作者们试图纠正的那些"严重缺陷"之中，有一个重大问题涉及基督的升天。在正典福音书马太、马可、路加和约翰的记载中，关于基督教中最为惊人的事件——耶稣被接升天堂——只有两处提及。在1952年RSV首次出版之前，世界上每一种语言的每一部圣经中都保留着这两处经文。它们是：

One of the most serious of those "grave defects" which the authors of the RSV had tried to rectify concerned the Ascension of Christ. There have been only two references in the Canonical Gospels of Matthew, Mark, Luke and of John to the most stupendous event in Christianity — OF JESUS BEING TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN. These two references were obtained in every Bible in every language, prior to 1952, when the RSV first appeared. These were:

4a. “于是主耶稣在对他们说完话以后，就被接升天上，坐在神的右边。”（马可福音 16:19）

4a. "So then the Lord Jesus, after he had spoken to them, was TAKEN UP INTO HEAVEN, and sat down at the right hand of God." (Mark 16:19)

4b. 当他祝福他们的时候，就与他们分离，并且被带到天上去了。（路加福音 24:51）

4b. "While he blessed them, he parted from them, and was CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN." (Luke 24:51)

我无法看到您提到的图片，只能看到您的文字。不过，您的这段话是需要翻译的内容，我将按照要求翻译如下： 请看下面这张图片，它是一张影印件，上面本应出现上文的引文4a。您会惊讶地注意到，马可福音第16章在第8节就结束了，之后是一大片令人尴尬的空白，而缺失的经文则以"小字"的形式出现在页面底部的脚注中。如果您能找到一本1952年的《修订标准版》（RSV），您会发现上文4b中的最后六个词，即"AND WAS CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN"（并被接升到天上），被一个微小的"a"取代，提示您请看脚注，在那里您会找到这些缺失的词句。每一位诚实的基督徒都必须承认，他不会把任何一本圣经中的脚注视为神的话语。基督教的受薪传道人为何要把其宗教中最伟大的神迹贬为一个不起眼的脚注呢？

Now please look at the image below, which is a photocopy where the quotation 4a above ought to appear. You will be shocked to note that Mark 16 ends at verse 8, and after an embarrassing expanse of blank space the missing verses appear in "small print" as a footnote at the bottom of the page. If you can lay your hands on a RSV 1952, you will find the last six words of 4b above, i.e. "AND WAS CARRIED UP INTO HEAVEN" replaced by a tiny "a" to tell you to see the footnote if you please, where you will find these missing words. Every honest Christian has to admit that he does not consider any footnote in any Bible as the word of God. Why should the paid servants of Christianity consign the mightiest miracle of their religion to a mere footnote?

From the Chart — "The Origin and Growth of the English Bible" — appearing below, you will note that all the Biblical "Versions" prior to the Revised Version of 1881 were dependent upon the ANCIENT COPIES — those dating only five or six hundred years after Jesus. The Revisers of the RSV 1952, were the first Bible scholars who were able to tap the "MOST Ancient Copies" fully, dating three and four centuries after Christ. We agree that the closer to the source the more authentic is the document. Naturally "MOST" Ancient deserves credence more than mere "ANCIENT." But not finding a word about Jesus being "taken up" or "carried up" into heaven in the MOST ANCIENT manuscripts, the Christian fathers expurgated those references from the RSV 1952. Translated into Simplified Chinese: 从下方的图表《英文圣经的起源与发展》中可以看到，1881年的修订本之前的所有圣经“译本”，都依赖于古老的抄本——那些抄本只比耶稣晚约五六百年。1952年《标准修订版》的修订者，是第一批能够充分利用“最古老抄本”的圣经学者，这些抄本的年代距基督约三四百年。我们同意，文献距离源头越近，就越可靠。自然，“最古老”的抄本比单纯的“古老”更值得信赖。然而，在最古老的抄本中找不到关于耶稣被“接升”或“被带升”入天堂的任何字句，因此基督教教父们便将这些提及从1952年的《标准修订版》中删去了。

From the Chart — "The Origin and Growth of the English Bible" — appearing below, you will note that all the Biblical "Versions" prior to the Revised Version of 1881 were dependent upon the ANCIENT COPIES — those dating only five or six hundred years after Jesus. The Revisers of the RSV 1952, were the first Bible scholars who were able to tap the "MOST Ancient Copies" fully, dating three and four centuries after Christ.

But not finding a word about Jesus being "taken up" or "carried up" into heaven in the MOST ANCIENT manuscripts, the Christian fathers expurgated those references from the RSV 1952.

以上事实是基督教世界的一项惊人自白:据称受圣灵默示的正典福音书作者,没有一人记载耶稣升天的只言片语。然而,这些"受默示"的作者却一致记载,他们的主和救主在使命临近结束时骑着驴进入耶路撒冷。

The above facts are a staggering confession by Christendom that the "inspired" authors of the Canonical Gospels did not record a single word about the ASCENSION of Jesus- Yet these "inspired" authors were unanimous in recording that their Lord and Saviour rode a donkey into Jerusalem as his mission drew to a close.

会是上帝至大的主亲自安排了这样一个不协调的局面吗？祂特意确保所有福音书作者都没有遗漏记载祂的“儿子”骑驴进入圣城的事，却又“启示”他们隐去了祂的“儿子”乘天使的翅膀升天的消息？

Could God Almighty have been the author of this incongruous situation — going out of His Way to see that all the Gospel writers did not miss their footing recording of His "son's" donkey-ride into the Holy City — and yet "inspiring" them to black-out the news about His "son's" heavenly flight on the wings of angels?

热衷布道的福音派人士和咬文嚼字的《圣经》卫道者，过了很久才察觉这场玩笑：他们传道的基石——耶稣升天——因基督教圣经学术研究而动摇了，而此时《修订标准译本》的出版商已经赚得了1500万美元（一千五百万）的净利润！宣传者大肆喧嚷，在五十个宗派委员会中的两个的支持下，迫使出版商在1952年之后的每一版《修订标准译本》中，把被删去的增补内容重新放回"受默示的"神的话语之中，被删去的部分于是"恢复到经文之中"。这是一个古老而又古老的把戏。犹太人和基督徒从《神的书》诞生之初起，就一直在编辑它。他们与古代伪造者的区别在于，古代伪造者不懂得撰写"序言"和"脚注"的技巧，否则他们也会像我们的现代英雄那样，清清楚楚地告诉我们他们做过的篡改，以及他们为把伪造的货币变成闪闪发光的黄金而编造的油滑借口。

The hot-gospellers and the Bible-thumpers were too slow in catching the Joke. By the time they realised that the corner-stone of their preaching — THE ASCENSION OF JESUS — had been undermined as a result of Christian Biblical erudition, the publishers of the RSV had already raked in a net profit of 15 000 000 dollars! (Fifteen Million). The propagandists made a big hue and cry, and with the backing of two denominational committees out of the fifty, forced the Publishers to re-incorporate the interpolations into the "INSPIRED" Word of God in every new publication of the RSV after 1952, the expunged portion was "RESTORED TO THE TEXT." It is an old, old game. The Jews and the Christians have been editing their "Book of God" from its very inception. The difference between them and the ancient forgerers is that the ancient forgers did not know the art of writing "prefaces" and "footnotes", otherwise they too would have told us as clearly as our modern heroes have about their tampering, and their glib excuses for transmuting forged currency into glittering gold.

许多个人以及两个宗派委员会向该委员会提交了修改提案,委员会对所有这些提案都给予了认真审议。

"MANY PROPOSALS FOR MODIFICATION WERE SUBMITTED TO THE COMMITTEE BY INDIVIDUALS AND BY TWO DENOMINATIONAL COMMITTEES ALL OF THESE WERE GIVEN CAREFUL ATTENTION BY THE COMMITTEE.

“两段经文，即马可福音的较长结尾（16:9-20）……以及路加福音24:51，已被恢复到经文之中。”（序言——柯林斯，第vi和vii页）

"TWO PASSAGES, THE I LONGER ENDING OF MARK (16:9-20) . . . AND LUKE 24:51 ARE RESTORED TO THE TEXT." (Preface — Collins' pages vi and vii)

“为什么说‘恢复’？”因为这些经文此前曾被删除！最古老的抄本为何要删去关于升天的记载呢？最古老的抄本根本没有关于升天的任何记载。它们属于后来的插入文字，类似于《约翰一书》5:7关于三位一体的那段文字。（请参看前面的例3。）既然删去了一处，为什么又要重新加入另一处？不要感到惊讶！等你拿到一本《修订标准版》（RSV）的时候，“委员会”也许已经决定删去它整篇珍贵的序言。耶和华见证人已经从他们的《新世界译本·基督教希腊语经卷》（这是他们对新约的说法）的前言中删去了27页揭示性的内容。

"Why 'restored'"? Because they had been previously expunged! Why had the references to the Ascension expunged in the first place? The MOST Ancient manuscripts had no references to the Ascension at all. They were interpolations similar to 1 John 5:7 about the Trinity. (Refer to the earlier example 3). Why eliminate one and re-instate the other? Do not be surprised! By the time you lay your hands on a RSV, the "Committee" might also have decided to expunge the whole of their invaluable Preface. The Jehovah's Witnesses have already eliminated 27 revealing pages of their FOREWORD to their "New World Translation of the CHRISTIAN GREEK SCRIPTURES," (this is their way of saying — New Testament).

牧师 C. I. 斯科菲尔德博士（D.D.）与8位顾问编辑（均为D.D.）在《斯科菲尔德参考圣经》中认为，将希伯来语单词"Elah"（意为神）改拼为"Alah"是恰当的。基督徒因此仿佛吞下了骆驼，似乎终于接受了神的名字是安拉，却仍在为一个小虫子挣扎，坚持把Allah拼成一个"L"！（此处保留了显示"ALAH"一词的圣经页面的影印件，以供后世参考。）本小册子的作者曾在公开讲座中提及这一事实。请相信我，此后出版的《斯科菲尔德参考圣经》逐字保留了创世记1:1的全部注释，却以一种巧妙的花招，把"Alah"一词完全抹去了。甚至连原先"Alah"所在之处的空白都没有留下。 1 1 这出自正统派的圣经！人们很难跟上他们的把戏。

The Rev. C. I. Scofield, D. D. with a team of 8 Consulting Editors, also all D.D.’s in the "Scofield Reference Bible" thought it appropriate to spell the Hebrew word "Elah" (meaning God) alternatively as "Alah" The Christians had thus swallowed the camel — they seemed to have accepted at last that the name of God is Allah — but were still straining at the gnat by spelling Allah with one "L"! (Photographic reproduction of the Bible page showing the word "ALAH" is preserved here for posterity below). References were made in public lectures to this fact by the author of this booklet. Believe me, the subsequent "Scofield Reference Bible" has retained word for word the whole commentary of Genesis 1:1, but has, by a clever sleight-of-hand, blotted out the word "Alah" altogether. There is not even a gap where the word "Alah" once used to be. 1 1 This is in the Bible of the orthodox! One is hard pressed to keep up with their Jugglery.
