Reina Valera
the 1960 spanish version bible "Reina Valera" is that equal to KJV bible or NIV?
The NIV is a dynamic equivalent, that is, a thought for thought translation while the KJV is a word for word translation. It appears that the Reina Valera is closer to the NIV than the KJV.
The 1960 Reina-Valera Revision, published by the American Bible Society put the Spanish Bible into easily understood language and won quick acceptance in the Spanish-speaking world. Most Spanish-speaking Christians rely on one version of the Bible, the Reina-Valera, which was first published in 1569, forty-two years before the King James Version.
