James Wood provides valuable insight here into the gift of Bible translation.

“Hearing God’s Word in one’s own tongue is profound and powerful. God alone is ultimate, yet He desires people from every culture and wants the distinct glories of all peoples brought into his kingdom. Translation is essential to that process. Those who receive God’s Word become givers to the global church—offering unique insights into the same truth and distinctive expressions of our shared humanity.

Translation, then, reflects the incarnational logic of Christianity.”
