Help:Bible book translations

In translating the Bible from one of CreationWiki's languages to another, one must bear in mind that the names of Bible books do not translate exactly. Web-based translators like Babelfish and InterTran are not equipped to resolve Bible book names properly. The below table will help anyone interested in the vital task of translation, and especially when using the templates and  or their equivalents on sites other than the English site.

Background
The Bible has sixty-six books, but the names of those books do not translate literally from one language to the next. The reasons for this are twofold:
 * 1) The most ancient chapter names, i.e. the names originally assigned in Hebrew to the chapters of the Old Testament, are repetitions of the first few words with which those books began. For example, the book of Genesis was called "In-the-beginning," and Exodus was called "Now-these-are-the-names."
 * 2) The compilers of different modern-language translations of the Bible chose their book names for different reasons. That is why, for example, the first book of the Bible is called "Genesis" in English and "Erst Buch Moses" (abbreviated "1 Mose") in German.
