The translation of the Book of Ecclesiastes by Marcin Bielski was published in 1554 as the second Polish translation of this Old Testament book published in print. It is undoubtedly an independent work, and its author reached beyond any doubt for the Hebrew text. It cannot be ruled out, however, that Bielski confronted his translation with the Vulgate. In his work he introduced minor modifications and reduced the content of some verses. He probably did it in order to adapt his translation to the Polish reader. Bielski limited the rhetoric of his translation, which was reflected in the reductions and elimination of even a characteristic hebel. At the same time, he tried to give his translation the most careful form, taking care of its stylistic correctness and aesthetics. Further research on this document will surely make it possible to read its translation and literary value more thoroughly, which will allow for a more complete understanding of the sixteenth-century translations of biblical books in Poland.

Main subject of this article in the “The Wisdom of Jesus Son of Sirach” (translated into Polish by Piotr Poznańczyk in 1535) and its relations with a biblical edition of this book from 1561 (so-called “The Leopolits Bible”). Analysis of lexical changes (including: particles, diminutives, colloquial and German words) have to give an answer to a few questions: was Piotr Poznańczyk an editor of the Sirach from 1561? Which was the direction of the textual modification? Perhaps, in the future, this article will by also helpful to find an editor (or editors) of “The Leopolits Bible”.

The author shows the peculiarities of the ecumenical translation of the Bible into Polish against the background of the most important ecumenical translation projects into other languages. The aim of the research was to present the features of Polish inter-confessional translation. The author presented the history of earlier inter-Christian translations of the Bible into Polish, the team-committee method in the work on the translation of the Bible and its impact on ecumenism and the achieved effect. The research followed a historical method based on use of introductions to ecumenical Bibles in foreign languages and on never published archives from the Bible Society in Poland. Another group of sources are recension and papers on the ecumenical Bible. The results of the studies carried out similarities and differences between the foreign ecumenical translations and the Polish edition; the specificity of the polish biblical style of the ecumenical Bible; the reasons for such a late appearance of the Polish ecumenical Bible.

Autor ukazuje specyfikę ekumenicznego przekładu Biblii na język polski na tle najważniejszych ekumenicznych projektów przekładowych na inne języki. Bazę źródłową dla badań stanowiły głównie wstępy do Biblii ekumenicznych w językach obcych oraz nigdy niepublikowane archiwalia pochodzące z Towarzystwa Biblijnego w Polsce.

The paper tries to draw attention to problems related to accurate conveyance in translation of certain forms and ideas contained in the Bible. It focuses on a fragment of the parable of the final judgment from the Gospel of St. Matthew (Mt 25, 31–46) which speaks about acts of love towards neighbours. Besides the evangelical command to care for the hungry, thirsty, naked, sick, and imprisoned, it contains an order to accept a FOREIGNER, described in the Greek and Latin text of the Bible as ksénos and hospes, respectively. The first goal of this paper is to attempt a reconstruction of the linguistic and cultural context in which those names for the FOREIGNER were used. The second, essential, goal is to philologically evaluate a collection of native equivalents of those foreign words which appear in 34 Polish translations of the Gospel of St. Matthew, from Old Polish to newer and contemporary renderings. The remarks presented in the paper are philological in nature and primarily refer to linguistic descriptive procedures, with a necessary utilization of certain findings in the fields of exegesis and Biblical hermenutics.

The purpose of this article is to show age-old connections between the Polish language and the Bible, as one of the foundations of Polish culture and identity. The author views these relations from the perspective of the genetic and formal interdependence between the style invariant of the biblical Polish language and its literary variety. To this end, the author mentions previous theoretical findings and material research showing directions and forms of these influences, resulting in the emergence of the main style constants in the biblical Polish language. What is more, the significance of the Bible and its native translations for the emergence of literary Polish language has been pinpointed. Attention has also been drawn to more modern options of research into the conditions of the relationship between biblical Polish vs. literary Polish which stem from reference to the rhetorical and literary heritage of the specific books of the Bible. The paper provides a number of arguments in favor of the literary value of the Bible, as a fact resulting not only from its local historical experiencesbut also features inherited from the primary biblical style. Moreover, the article discusses the critical references to the biblical translation initiatives which lead to the detachment of biblical Polish from its literary model and the norm of high style.

Celem artykułu jest wskazanie na wielowiekowe związki polszczyzny z Biblią, jako jednym z fundamentów polskiej kultury i tożsamości. Relacje te autor artykułu rozpatruje na płaszczyźnie genetycznej i formalnej współzależności pomiędzy stylowym inwariantem polszczyzny biblijnej a literacką odmianą języka polskiego. W tym celu przywołane zostały dotychczasowe ustalenia teoretyczne oraz badania materiałowe ukazujące kierunki i formy owych wpływów, skutkujące powstaniem głównych konstant stylowych polszczyzny biblijnej, a także wskazujące na znaczenie Biblii i jej rodzimych przekładów na kształtowania się polszczyzny literackiej. Zwrócona została także uwaga na nowsze możliwości badań nad uwarunkowaniami relacji polszczyzna biblijna – polszczyzna literacka, które wynikają z odwołania się do retorycznego i literackiego dziedzictwa poszczególnych ksiąg Pisma Świętego. Artykuł dostarcza szeregu argumentów na rzecz obrony literackości polszczyzny biblijnej, jako faktu wynikającego z jej rodzimych doświadczeń historycznych, jak też z właściwości odziedziczonych z prymarnego stylu biblijnego. Na prawach polemicznych w artykule znalazły się również krytyczne odniesienia do tych spośród nowszych inicjatyw translacyjno-biblijnych, które zmierzają do oderwania polszczyzny biblijnej od jej wzorca literackiego oraz normy stylu wysokiego.
