Correct me if I'm wrong, but currently the only modern English
Language version I can see that contains the deutero-canon is the CPDV
version. I'm not at all sure about this version, partly because it is
a bit ponderous to read, and also because it is the work of only one
person rather than a group of translators. Michael mentions the WEB
version as having the extra books - the Sword module I can find
contains only the 66 book canon. Is there anything else out there
please?
I thought I'd have a play. I downloaded the osis file from
http://ebible.org/ and using the command: osis2mod ./
eng-webbe_osis.xml -z -v KJVA and the following as a .conf file:
[webbe_a]
DataPath=./modules/texts/ztext/webbe_a/
ModDrv=zText
Encoding=UTF-8

I made a working module. The osis2mod error messages show that neither
KJVA nor any of the other currently available 'with'apocrypha'
versifications are correct. As an example, 4 Maccabees is ignored
completely .... there are a host of other unsupported verses. I wonder
if there is any chance someone could add a WEBA versification (or
explain to me very gently how to make one?) Chris Little maybe?
God bless, Barry.
There is no possibility that I would consider adding a versification
system for the WEB. It fits none of the criteria warranting a new
versification system.
NRSVA should work fairly well, but there are some inconsistencies here &
there. For example Ps 151 is called AddPs.151 in the WEB but AddPs.1 in
Sword, and EpJer is called EpJer.6 in the WEB but Bar.6 in Sword. I'm
not sure what's causing you a segfault, but I think it is sometimes
caused by unrecognized book names. I'm currently working on improving
osis2mod, so I'll keep an eye out for that issue.
Alternately, Kostya made a suggestion a while back that might serve
translations with quirky versifications like this. I'll comment on that
suggestion when I get an opportunity to bump it for visibility.
