LDS Church releases Bible in Spanish
“Una obra maravillosa … un milagro … inspirado … unificar y facilitar.”
Those are the Spanish words — English translations are in the subheads below — some Mormons are using to describe the groundbreaking new Spanish-language edition of the Holy Bible prepared by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints.
“Santa Biblia: Reina Valera 2009″ represents the first time the church has published an edition of the Bible in a language other than English, but it is also a natural progression in a pedigree of LDS editions of the scriptures — the English King James Version in 1979, the English-language LDS “triple combination” (Book of Mormon, Doctrine and Covenants, Pearl of Great Price) in 1981 and the subsequent printing of triple combinations in some three-dozen other languages.
Spanish speakers make up a major percentage of the church’s worldwide membership and are an increasing portion of its numbers in Utah, where 70,000 Hispanic Mormons lived at the beginning of the year. The state is home to more than 120 Spanish-language LDS wards and branches.

[From me]
Great, the LDS now have heresy in Spanish! Here is what I have to say from my 3 years of Espanol.
Te has pueston tu ropa interior santo Mormon. (are you wearing your Mormon holy underwear?)
Como se puede creer que Jesus y Lucifer son hermanos? (How can you believe Lucifer & Jesus were brothers?
El Mormonismo es una herejia! (Mormonism is heresy!)
Usted no puede trabajar su camino al Cielo es solo a traves de una relacion con Jesus. (You can’t work your way to heaven it is only through a relationship with Jesus)
Que piensa usted? (What do you think?)
