Does anyone know if/where I can obtain a Spanish translation of the Douay Rheims Catholic Bible?

The Spanish version of the Good News Bible (Dios Habla Hoy) does include the Deuterocanonical Books. However, the Reina Valera and the Spanish translation of the NIV do not.

Although there is La Biblia de las Americas, I would also enjoy reading a Spanish version of the Douay Rheims Catholic Bible.

Muchas Gracias…

The Douay Rheims is an *English *translation. If you translated it into Spanish (or any other language) it would cease to be the Douay Rhiems. This is the same for any other translation.

Perhaps you are looking for a Spanish Bible in a traditional translation (pre-modern) that might be considerd the Spanish *equivalent *of the English Douay? I’m afraid I’m not up on that sort of thing, but maybe some else here is. You may have to start a new thread, rephrasing your question.
 
Well, I suppose what you’re really looking for is a Spanish translation of the Bible from the Vulgate version. The only one that I think is still in print is the Torres-Amat translation. Various Catholic publishing houses in the US carry it.

If you prefer translations from the original languages and little pure classical phrasing, I recommend the Nacar-Colunga translation (1944). Another excellent choice is the translation of the University of Navarre that was commissioned along with the famous commentary.

Rodrigo,

Muchísimas gracias por la información. Buscaré las ediciones que usted mencionó.

Many thanks for the information. I will look for the editions that you mentioned.
 
I understand the Navarre bible would be the Spanish translation that corresponds historically to the DR
 
Puzzleannie,

No, that is not right. The DR is a translation from the Vulgate. So too is the Torres-Amat. The Navarre Bible is a translation from the original languages, not the Vulgate. It is a very good translation, but it is not equivalent to the DR. My personal favorite though is the Nacar-Colunga due to his pure, classical Castilian Spanish.

Just a word of warning, the Reina-Valera is the classic Protestant translation of the Bible into Spanish. It is the equivalent to the King James version in English.
 
***¡FELIZ NAVIDAD!

I am so happy. My family gave me the Sagrada Biblia-Nueva Edición Guadalupana - for Christmas!***
 
To be clear:
Reina Valera is the classic Spanish languaje Calvinist Bible.
I like the classical early modern spanish of that Bible but is translated to reflect calvinist bias of the time. Is for Spanish language fundamentalists the counterpart of the of the KJV in english but there are no versions with deuteronanonicals unlike the original AV 1611.
There is also a spanish languaje version of the NIV called the Nueva Version Internacional. In my experience those are the bibles used more by Spanish language evangelicals.
I own a Reina Valera complete with Scofield notes so i cant take a good look on how fundies read the bible. I plant to buy a NVI study bible for the same reasons.

The Dios Habla Hoy is the spanish language version of the Good News Bible, is available in Protestant, Ecumenical (the deutrocanonicals are in a separate part between the testaments) and Catholic (with deuterocanonicals in Alexandrine order). The two latter versions had CC approval. Is a bible designed for readability. I own the ecumenical study edition because I wanted a balanced Bible not too catholic or protestant.

Catholic Bibles in spanish.
Well I own the Nacar Colunga readers version (I love the classical Castillian spanish too). The Biblia Lationamericana study version designed for readability balanced with accuracy, but with excellent commentary (but a bit slanted towards liberation theology in my opinion). The Nueva Biblia de Jerusalem is designed for accuracy from at expences of readability, it has readers and comment study versions (get the commented version, I love the commentary if a bit modernist). I also have a old family Bible that was translated by Mons Juan Sc(some jaw breaking german name here) in Argentina from the original languages.
Missing in my collection (for now) are
La Biblia del Peregrino (a Catholic Bible translated for readability)
the Nueva Vulgata Latina (the Torres Amat) and the Navarra.
 
Oh I forgot, there are some Jewish OT translation into spanish too, somethimes with Mishnah and Talmud commentaries too. But they are really expensive here.
 
I correct myself,
The Reina-Valera was a Bible made by Spanish Luterans and had the Deutarocanonical books in the original versions. Between the Testaments in Luther’s fashion.
But since now is printed only by US backed fundies, they not only deleted the deuterocanon but also modified the text, for example adding the vain repetitions in Matthew 6,7 copying the KJV.
I have been searching for a complete original replica of the Reina Valera and no avail.
