Kyk ook:
Die artikel Die Bybel oor homoseksualiteit wys dat die Bybel in die Afrikaanse 1983 vertaling baie duidelik teen homoseksualiteit is. (Kyk gerus na bogenoemde artikel wat ook ’n hele aantal ander argumente téén homoseksualiteit bevat en ook Wat van gay kerke?.)
Daar is egter mense wat beweer dat die oorspronklike Hebreeus iets ander bedoel, met ander woorde, hulle beweer dat ’n mens nie uit die oorspronklike Hebreeus kan aflei dat homoseksualiteit sonde is nie.
Hierdie artikel vergelyk die dele oor homoseksualiteit in die Afrikaanse 1983 vertaling, Afrikaanse 1953 vertaling en die King James.
Alhoewel nie die King James óf die Afrikaanse 1953 vertaling die woord “homoseksuele” gebruik nie, is dit baie duidelik dat hierdie dele in die Bybel van homoseksualiteit praat. In 1953 het die woord “homoseksualiteit” óf nog nie bestaan nie, óf dit was nog nie algemeen gebruik nie. Die King James is reeds in 1611 geskryf, daarom is dit vanselfsprekend dat die woord “homosexual” nie in die King James sal wees nie, omdat dit nog nie bestaan het nie.
’n Ander manier om daarna te kyk is om die vraag te vra of al die Bybelvertalers oor die wêreld nog altyd hierdie vyf gedeeltes verkeerd verstaan het.
Hier volg die vyf dele in die Bybel in die drie vertalings (kyk heel onder vir die betekenis van die woorde in die King James volgens die Strong konkordansie).

Levitikus 18:22
Afrikaans 83
Jy mag nie ’n homoseksuele verhouding hê nie. Dit is ’n afstootlike sonde.
Afrikaans 53
Met ’n manspersoon mag jy ook geen gemeenskap hê soos ’n mens met ’n vrou het nie. Dit is ’n gruwel.
King James
Thou shalt notH3808 lieH7901 withH854 mankindH2145, as withH4904 womankindH802: itH1931 is abominationH8441.
Levitikus 20:13
Afrikaans 83
Twee mans wat homoseksueel verkeer, doen ’n afskuwelike sonde. Hulle moet doodgemaak word. Hulle verdien die dood.
Afrikaans 53
En as ’n man met ’n manspersoon gemeenskap het soos ’n mens met ’n vrou het, het hulle altwee iets gruweliks gedoen. Hulle moet sekerlik gedood word. Hulle bloedskuld is op hulle.
King James
If a manH376 also lieH7901 withH854 mankindH2145, as he liethH4904 with a womanH802, bothH8147 of them have committed an abominationH8441: they shall surely be put to deathH4191; their bloodH1818 shall be upon them.
Romeine 1:27
Afrikaans 83
Net so laat vaar die mans ook die natuurlike omgang met die vrou en brand van begeerte vir mekaar. Mans pleeg skandelikhede met mans en bring oor hulleself die verdiende straf vir hulle perversiteit.
Afrikaans 53
en net so het ook die manne die natuurlike verkeer met die vrou laat vaar en in hulle wellus teenoor mekaar ontbrand: manne het met manne skandelikheid bedrywe en in hulleself die noodwendige vergelding van hulle dwaling ontvang.
