# Appendix to the UDB
# Appendix to the Unlocked Dynamic Bible
## Origin and Purpose of the UDB
The Unlocked Dynamic Bible (UDB) is an open-licensed translation of the Bible based on <u>A Translation For Translators</u> by Ellis W. Deibler, Jr., which is licensed CC BY-SA 4.0 (https://git.door43.org/Door43/T4T). The UDB is intended to be used as a supplemental resource for Bible translation alongside the Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB). Its purpose is to unpack the meaning of many of the figures of speech, idioms, abstract nouns, and difficult grammatical forms that occur in the ULB as a reflection of those things in the Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek texts.
By using the UDB as a supplemental resource to the ULB, translators will be able to 1) see in the ULB many of the figures of speech, idioms, and other forms of the original Bible, and then 2) see in the UDB what their meaning is. Translators can use the forms from the ULB that are clear and natural in their language. When those forms are not clear or natural in their language, they can use the UDB, Translation Notes, the Translation Words, to help them choose other forms in their language that have the same meaning as the ULB.
The UDB is not meant to be a refined, polished English version. Because it avoids figures of speech, difficult grammatical structures, and difficult vocabulary, it does not have the elegant or sophisticated language of an end-user Bible.
## Characteristics of the UDB
The UDB (Unlocked Dynamic Bible) seeks to represent the plain meaning of the original Bible text.
