Hi Ana,
There is not a reliable English translation of the Towrah, Prophets and Psalms, the underlying Biblical Hebrew is pretty good, but the translations are all done with religious agendas top of mind.
There is not a reliable English translation of the "New Testament" because the original texts were not maintained AND because of the religious agendas, AND because Paul.
If you specifically want to learn about Paul go to
QUESTIONING PAUL .COM. This is the best place to come to an understanding of the falacy of christanity. Religions are constructs of humanity not of Yahowah, you will not find Him in any of religious organization.
If you are searching for God, Yahowah is His name, Then
YADA YAH or
AN INTRODUCTION TO GOD is where you want to look.
Modern Hebrew is a modified version of Biblical Hebrew, so I wouldn't recommend learning that, it would probably cause more confusion than clarity. But Biblical Hebrew is where you want to search. Yahowah's teaching and guidance is in the Towrah (and prophets and psalms), but the English translations are based on a false understanding of the nature and teaching of Yahowah. To date there is no good full translation of the Towrah. The best we have, and it is good enough, are the translations in YADA YAH and INTRO TO GOD.
Your best bet is to study one of these books (or both). Both provide translations showing the
english translationin bold, with the (hebrew words and their expanded english definitions) in parentheses. They also list reference books that will allow you to look up the definitions yourself so you can check the work of the translator. Finally they will provide commentary based on a clearer understanding of Yahowah and his plan.
A helpful tool called e-Sword is available for free download, just beware it is christian based. Use it as a tool, not as a teacher.
Also helpful are the Yada Yah archived audio programs. These can be found in a number of places, I usually go to
Yahowah Beryth for these:
Yada Yah Radio on Blog Talk Radio - an active, live, weekly 1.5-2 hour discussion of news topics and overview of translations
Shattering Myths - a daily talk show (no longer produced) with extensive archives
Observations - a semi-weekly conversation about current translation efforts
I hope that helps. There is no quick and easy way to the answers you are looking for. And if you don't find them yourself you won't believe them. To believe them , to own them you will need to verify the translations for yourself (at a minimum). The good news is that the juice is worth the squeeze (so to speak).
Good luck, feel free to ask for help.
