Adverbial participles are often mentioned as one of the defining features of the Polish Biblical style. This is certainly an accurate view with regard to the older translations of the Bible, but it requires to be verified with regard to modern attempts. The paper analyses the frequency and the typical use of adverbial participles in seven modern Polish translations of the Bible, and tests whether they differ from the use in texts that were originally written in Polish. It is not possible to give a clear answer to the question whether adverbial participles are or are not one of the indicators of the modern Polish Biblical style. On one hand, adverbial constructions occur with higher frequency in most of the analysed translations than they do in the originally Polish texts, but on the other hand, in some of the translations, their use is being purposefully limited. This prompts the conclusion that the occurrence of adverbial participles, in the synchronic aspect, is a feature of individual translations rather than a prototypical indicator of the modern Polish Biblical style, understood as a model.

The topic of the article are selected aspects of the language of Dobra Czytanka wg św. ziom’a Janka, which is a stylized hip-hop slang version of the Gospel According to St. John. The article presents a selection of lexical and phraseological devices that depart from the traditional canon of Polish Biblical style. The features include various modifications in Biblical onomastics, forms of address, and in phraseology and fixed Biblical phrases. Such transformations lead to a specific desacralization of Biblical content. However, the desacralization occurs only as opposed to the texts that perpetuate the traditional Polish Biblical style, which is characterized by hieratic quality and ritualization. The authors of Czytanka make the Biblical content clear and comprehensible for representatives of hip-hop subculture, following the principle of dynamic translation of Biblical text.
