Icelandic Bible ( The Bible in Icelandic) Heilög Biblía (Icelandic Edition)

The thinking behind this latest translation was that the language of the Bible had become too remote from the daily language of ordinary people. This new version, the eleventh, was intended to bring the Bible closer to the Icelander of the 21st century, without losing the majestic style that should characterise the Word of God. Language has been changing throughout the centuries, and the Bible must follow that evolution.
