How true is the New World Translation from Jehovah Witnesses?
It is an inaccurate translation and reflects their peculiar beliefs, not what the original words actually say. Obviously, you would get a different answer from a Jehovah's Witness.Answer from one of Jehovah's WitnesssThe New World Translation has indeed broken with tradition in many of its renditions of verses, but has done so respecting the original meanings of the Hebrew/Greek text. It is a semi-literal translation meaning it tries to stay as close as possible to the original language while staying understandable to the modern reader. How "true" it is is best addressed by qualified bible scholars, a number of whole reviews can be found below:** The New Catholic Encyclopedia (Refering to the NWT reference edition): "[Jehovah's Witnesses'] translation of the Bible [has] an impressive critical apparatus.

What is the Hebrew translation of Jason?
Jason is mentioned in the Hebrew Bible, and is a variant and connected loosely with the name Joshua, which is derived from the Hebrew name Yehoshua: A very special name with Divine meanings. Jason (Greek) = to Heal, Restore or make Whole. Joshua (Greek and derived from Hebrew name Yehoshua) = Jehovah is Salvation. But since there isn't a letter "J" in the Hebrew Aleph Bet, this takes us here: Yehoshua or Yahoshua (Hebrew in Origin) = Yahweh is Salvation. Yeshua or Yashua (Hebrew - shortened form of Yehoshua) = to Save Ioesus/Jesus (Greek/Latin and Origin derived from Hebrew name Yehoshua or Yahoshua) = The Lord is Salvation. I tried to be considerate to and included both spellings of the Hebrew name Yahoshua or Yehoshua. To be accurate, there really isn't a true Hebrew translation of the name Jason, although the meanings are quite close, yet they are not the same to the Greek name of Joshua or Hebrew name of Yeshua. To be specific, there isn't a one to one translation of Jason to a name in Hebrew. But the above explanation, at least I think, allows you to assume the name of Joshua with confidence, but just don't try to change it to Dave, that just wouldn't fly in any language.... =) Shalom.

If you mean God's true name, according to the Hebrew scriptures, it is called the Tetragrammaton, and you can only write it in Hebrew. The moment you write it in any other alphabet, it's no longer the name of God. If you mean the word "God", it is: French = Dieu Italian = Dio Spanish = Dios Hebrew = Hashem (ה׳) Apache = Usen

Is the Prophet Mohammed mentioned in Hebrew scriptures?
No, although many people believe this is true, Muhammad is not mentioned in the Hebrew Bible. Some people attempt to interpret certain verses as referring to Muhammad, but people have also done that with Jesus, Buddha, Hitler, and Barack Obama. It's all just a matter of interpretation and belief. Some of the verses that Muslims use to place prophesies concerning Mohammed are so ambiguous or misconstrued from their original context, that it becomes a square-peg-round-hole situation.
Does the word 'sin' appear in the Hebrew bible?
Yes, I am sure that the concept of sin appears in every true translation of the Bible, though Hebrew would not translate sin as sin, but they picked a very specific word that desribes something such as sin. Our language has gone through millions of changes and therefore, our translation of the Bible was translated many times through many languages (German, Latin) from the original copies of the Bible, of which the Old Testament was written in classical Hebrew with the New Testament being recorded in Koine Greek.AnswerNo, the word 'sin' does not appear in the Tanach (Jewish Bible). The word most commonly translated as sin is actually an archery term that means 'to miss the mark'.
