When applying the Linguistic Theory of Translation (LTT) to translating the Bible (here we concentrate on the New Testament), we have to take into account the time that has elapsed since the text was written. The impact of the translated text on the present reader can never be the same as that of the original text on its ancient addressees. Today the great antiquity of the Bible increases its attraction in spite of the fact that it is difficult to understand. This means that the gap cannot be bridged by the translation only. The text can be brought closer to the contemporary reader only by means of a meta-text (additional information, homily, commentary). From a good Bible translation the reader may deduce what passages demand an explanation which cannot be offered by the translation alone. The second part of the paper discusses the reasons for a new translation of a text that has already been translated and the related problems.

The article is an attempt at a contrastive analysis of typical characteristics of Biblical language and style, with a special focus on phraseology (e.g. parallelism, repetition, imagery, metaphor). Based on the example of selected linguistic phenomena within the scope of semantics, syntax and phraseology, the most significant similarities and differences in Biblical language of modern Dutch and Polish have been evidenced. Moreover, the phenomenon of modification within the Dutch and Polish Biblical styles has been noted, which may be observed in the perception of traditional Dutch and Polish Biblical styles. For this purpose historical material, originating from Dutch and Polish translations of the Bible, has been compared with the language material occurring in representative contemporary translations of the Holy Bible. It is worth pointing out that the formation of Biblical style was considerably influenced by Staatenbijbel (1637) in the Netherlands, and by the Catholic Biblia Wujka (1599) and the Protestant Biblia Gdańska (1632) in Poland.
