Summary/Abstract: At the conference on the ecumenical translation of the Bible into Croatian the author pointed out the great importance of the translation of the Biblical text. As distinguished from other literary texts that after the death of their author should not be linguistically changed or edited, translations ought to be adapted according to the language developments and that refers to the Bible translation as well. However. in translating the Bible special attention should be paid to the tradition of the Biblical language and to the established stylistic values. After introducing certain principles. the author considers some problems on the grammatical, vocabulary and orthographic categories.
