Palabra de Dios para ti

Palabra de Dios para ti (God's Word for You), also published with the subtitle Biblia Latinoamericana Textual, is a complete Spanish translation copyrighted in 2020 by the Asociación Bíblica Latinoamericana, with support from the Latinamerican Textual Bible Foundation. The central idea is in the subtitle: a textual Bible, tied to the text, written in Latin American Spanish.

According to the publisher's description, the base is the Biblia Hebraica Stuttgartensia for the Old Testament and the 27th edition of Nestle-Aland for the New, the critical texts used in scholarship. The method stays as close to the wording as it can while using short sentences and basic vocabulary. Pronouns referring to God are capitalized (Tú, Él), and a few footnotes explain the sense, as in John 3:14, where a note says that being "lifted up" refers to the cross.

It serves readers who want a text close to the original without the older Spanish of the Reina-Valera, and who read in everyday Latin American vocabulary. The honest limit is that this is a recent translation from a small association, without the long track record of revision and use behind the major versions. Readers from Spain will notice "ustedes" where they expect "vosotros". Check key passages against an established translation.
