The Functional Translation of Biblical Commentaries as a Decision- Making Process – a Case Study

Summary/Abstract: The article is a case study exploring the translation of one biblical commentary representing a specific type of texts from the threefold perspective of a translator, translation theorist and translation trainer. The Author utilizes a concept of the functional translation by C. Nord, an idea of the translation as a decision-making process by J. Levý, and principles of the translation of scientific texts by Z. Kozłowska. Selected aspects of translating of a contemporary English commentary on the Gospel of Luke into Polish are investigated, including the following decision-making levels: selection of an appropriate Polish translation of the Bible, necessary adjustments of the chosen biblical translation, decisions related to intertextuality of the Bible, lexical choices. Problems concerning other functions of the source text, apart from its exegetical function, are also discussed as well as solutions concerning quotations, references and the paratext. Furthermore, information on bibliographic sources useful for translators of biblical and patristic texts was presented.
