The UDB is intended to provide a simple, clear presentation of the meaning of the Bible without using any figures of speech, English idioms, or difficult grammar.

### Introduction to the UDB ### Introduction to the UST
The Unlocked Dynamic Bible (UDB) is designed to be used in conjunction with the Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB), the translationNotes, and the translationWords as a tool for Bible translation. Unlike the ULB and unlike an end-user Bible, the UDB does not use figures of speech, idioms, abstract nouns, or grammatical forms that are difficult to translate into many languages. The unfoldingWord Simplified Text (UST) is designed to be used in conjunction with the Unlocked Literal Bible (ULT), the translationNotes, and the translationWords as a tool for Bible translation. Unlike the ULT and unlike an end-user Bible, the UST does not use figures of speech, idioms, abstract nouns, or grammatical forms that are difficult to translate into many languages.
### Editing the UDB ### Editing the UST
The purpose of the UDB is to show the plain meaning of all of those things wherever they occur in the ULB. Because the UDB lacks these things, it is not a beautiful end-user Bible. An end-user Bible will use the figures of speech and idioms that speak naturally and beautifully in the target language, but the UDB does not use them. By using both the UDB and the ULB together as translation sources for an end-user (Other Language) translation, the OL translator will be able to see the figures of speech, idioms, and other forms of the original Bible in the ULB and also see what their meaning is in the UDB. Then he can use the figures of speech or other forms from the ULB that are clear and natural in his language. When the forms in the ULB are not clear or natural in his language, then he can choose other forms in his language that have the same meaning as the UDB translation or the Notes.

#### Examples #### Examples
The following are examples of ways that the text of the Bible can be unclear for some languages and what the UDB does to overcome those problems. When you translate the UDB, make sure that your translation of the UDB also avoids these problems. The following are examples of ways that the text of the Bible can be unclear for some languages and what the UST does to overcome those problems. When you translate the UST, make sure that your translation of the UST also avoids these problems.
##### Passive Voice ##### Passive Voice
Passive voice is a grammatical construction that is common in Greek and English but it is not used in many other languages, so it can be very confusing. For that reason, it is not used in the UDB. In passive voice, the receiver of the action changes places with the actor. In English, the actor normally comes first in the sentence. But in passive voice, the receiver of the action comes first. Often, the actor is left unstated. In that case, the UDB will fill in the actor. See "Missing Participants" below. Passive voice is a grammatical construction that is common in Greek and English but it is not used in many other languages, so it can be very confusing. For that reason, it is not used in the UST.

Often, the actor is left unstated. In that case, the UST will fill in the actor. See "Missing Participants" below.
For example, the ULB of Romans 2:24 says: For example, the ULT of Romans 2:24 says:
"the name of God is dishonored among the Gentiles because of you." "the name of God is dishonored among the Gentiles because of you."
The action is "dishonor," the actors are "the Gentiles" (non-Jews), and the receiver of the action is "the name of God." The reason for the action is "because of you." The UDB rearranges the verse to put the actor and the receiver of the action in a more normal order. The action is "dishonor," the actors are "the Gentiles" (non-Jews), and the receiver of the action is "the name of God." The reason for the action is "because of you." The UST rearranges the verse to put the actor and the receiver of the action in a more normal order.
The UDB of Romans 2:24 says: The UST of Romans 2:24 says:
"The non-Jews speak evil about God because of the evil actions of you Jews." "The non-Jews speak evil about God because of the evil actions of you Jews."
This is more clear for many languages. When you edit or translate the UDB, make sure that you do not use any passive voice constructions. This is more clear for many languages. When you edit or translate the UST, make sure that you do not use any passive voice constructions.
##### Abstract Nouns ##### Abstract Nouns
The ULB of Romans 2:10 says: The ULT of Romans 2:10 says:
"But praise, honor, and peace will come to everyone who practices good..." "But praise, honor, and peace will come to everyone who practices good..."
In this verse, the words "praise," "honor," "peace," and "good" are abstract nouns. That is, they are words that refer to things that we cannot see or touch. They are ideas. The ideas that these nouns express are closer to actions or descriptions than they are to things. In many languages, therefore, these ideas must be expressed by verbs or description words, not by nouns. In this verse, the words "praise," "honor," "peace," and "good" are abstract nouns. That is, they are words that refer to things that we cannot see or touch. They are ideas. The ideas that these nouns express are closer to actions or descriptions than they are to things. In many languages, therefore, these ideas must be expressed by verbs or description words, not by nouns.
For this reason, the UDB expresses these nouns as actions or descriptions. For this reason, the UST expresses these nouns as actions or descriptions.
The UDB of Romans 2:10 says: The UST of Romans 2:10 says:
"But God will praise, honor, and give a peaceful spirit to every person who habitually does good deeds." "But God will praise, honor, and give a peaceful spirit to every person who habitually does good deeds."
When editing or translating the UDB, avoid using abstract nouns. When editing or translating the UST, avoid using abstract nouns.
##### Long, Complex Sentences ##### Long, Complex Sentences
The UDB avoids using long or complex sentences. In many languages, long or complex sentences are unnatural and unclear. The UST avoids using long or complex sentences. In many languages, long or complex sentences are unnatural and unclear.
The ULB translates the first three verses of Romans as one complex sentence. It says: The ULT translates the first three verses of Romans as one complex sentence. It says:
"1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand by his prophets in the holy scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was born from the descendants of David according to the flesh." "1 Paul, a servant of Jesus Christ, called to be an apostle, set apart for the gospel of God, 2 which he promised beforehand by his prophets in the holy scriptures, 3 concerning his Son, who was born from the descendants of David according to the flesh."
The UDB breaks that into five sentences that are more simple in form. It says: The UST breaks that into five sentences that are more simple in form. It says:
"1 I, Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, am writing this letter to all of you believers in the city of Rome. God chose me to be an apostle, and he appointed me in order that I shouldproclaim the good news that comes from him. 2 Long before Jesus came to earth, God promised that he would reveal this good news by means of what his prophets wrote in the sacred scriptures. 3 This good news is about his Son. As to his Son's physical nature, he was born a descendant of King David." "1 I, Paul, who serve Christ Jesus, am writing this letter to all of you believers in the city of Rome.

##### Events out of Order ##### Events out of Order
The ULB of Luke 2:6-7 says: The ULT of Luke 2:6-7 says:
"6 Now it came about that while they were there, the time came for her to deliver her baby. 7 She gave birth to a son, her firstborn child, and she wrapped him snugly in strips of cloth. Then she put him in an animal feeding trough, because there was no room for them in a guest room."

Then she put him in an animal feeding trough, because there was no room for them in a guest room."
In some languages, events need to be told in the order in which they happened, or else the story will be confusing and hard to understand. People might understand from these verses that Mary delivered her baby outside in the street, and then looked for somewhere to stay and, after a long search, ended up putting him in an animal feeding trough. The UDB tells these events in the order in which they happened, so that it is clear that Mary was already in the shelter for animals when she gave birth.

##### Figures of Speech ##### Figures of Speech
The ULB of Romans 2:21 says: The ULT of Romans 2:21 says:
"You who preach not to steal, do you steal?" "You who preach not to steal, do you steal?"
This is a figure of speech called a rhetorical question. It is not a real question that is used to seek an answer. It is used to make a point. In this case, Paul is using it to scold his audience and to condemn their hypocrisy. Many languages do not use rhetorical questions, or they do not use them in this way.

##### Idioms ##### Idioms
The ULB of Deuteronomy 32:10 says: The ULT of Deuteronomy 32:10 says:
"he guarded him as the apple of his eye." "he guarded him as the apple of his eye."
The word "apple" here does not refer to a kind of fruit, but instead refers to the pupil, the dark center of a person's eye. The phrase "the apple of his eye" is an idiom that refers to anything that is extremely precious to a person, or the one thing that is the most precious to a person. In many languages this idiom makes no sense, but they have other idioms that have this meaning. The Other Language translator should use one of these idioms from the target language in the OL translation, but there should be no idiom in the translation of the UDB.

The ULB of Mark 1:44 says: The ULT of Mark 1:44 says:

He said to him, "Be sure to say nothing to anyone, but go, show yourself to the priest, and offer for your cleansing what Moses commanded, as a testimony to them."
This was all that Jesus needed to say to the man whom he had just healed of leprosy, because the man was Jewish and knew all about the laws concerning being clean and unclean. But most modern readers of our Bible translations do not know that information. For that reason, the UDB makes this information explicit that was left implied in the text. This information is indicated in italics below.
