The article discusses the difficulties in translating the Bible. The author notes
that modern translators use such sophisticated language structures that consumers
do not understand their translation. The same thing happened in the XVI century,
when the formal style of the translation of the Bible did not allow commoners to understand it. Particular attention is paid to the analysis of the customer-oriented project of the King James on the Bible translation, the approaches of which can be used
at present time.
