1 In the beginning

A preview of the translation approach. The complete reviewed edition is in preparation.

Latina · Vulgata

1 In principio creavit Deus caelum et terram.

2 Terra autem erat inanis et vacua, et tenebrae super faciem abyssi; et spiritus Dei ferebatur super aquas.

3 Dixitque Deus: Fiat lux. Et facta est lux.

English · New rendering

1 In the beginning, God created heaven and earth.

2 But the earth was empty and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep; and the Spirit of God was borne over the waters.

3 And God said: Let light be made. And light was made.

✦ “Carried over the waters” preserves the active, hovering force of ferebatur rather than smoothing it away.

Translation integrity

No filler. No imposed agenda.

The project’s standard is simple and demanding: let the Latin lead, let the English remain alive, and make every interpretive decision visible to scrutiny.

I

Latin source fidelity

Every clause begins with the force, order, and vocabulary of the Latin text—not with the habits of an earlier English edition.

II

Semantic depth

Possible meanings, grammatical relationships, and theological weight are examined before the English line is settled.

III

English integrity

The translation is tested for directness, clarity, cadence, and freedom from invented filler.

IV

Four-stage review

The project reports a four-stage cross-verification process designed to catch drift, omission, flattening, and unsupported interpretation.

A declaration of independence

“The text was not commissioned to satisfy a party, institution, denomination, or political program. Its stated obligation is to the Latin source and to the reader.”

— The Latin Vulgate project founded by Christian Cassarly

Founder & steward

A work prepared by
Christian Cassarly

After more than twenty years of Christian study, Christian Cassarly envisioned a translation that would bring the authority and directness of the Latin Vulgate into present English.

Christian Cassarly created Jesus New OS and the Codex to gather, preserve, and freely share Christian knowledge. LatinVulgate.org is presented as a new cornerstone of that mission: ancient Scripture served by the strongest language technology available today.

Christian Cassarly describes his calling as service to Jesus Christ and his fellow children of God. This site presents that conviction as his personal Christian testimony and the spiritual foundation of the project.

The Codex · ChristBooks.org

A library built to endure.

The Codex, created by Christian Cassarly, reports a collection of 250,000 Christian works cross-verified through a four-stage quality process. It is dedicated exclusively to Christian literature and made available to readers without charge.

The Latin Vulgate translation celebrates that library and will live at its center—uniting Scripture with the voices of Christian history in one freely accessible home.
