Detailed explanation-1: -Martin Luther translated the New Testament from ancient Greek into early modern German with Latin translations. He toiled from within the confines of a writing room in the Wartburg Castle.
Detailed explanation-2: -Luther’s German translation of the New Testament appeared in 1522. He then translated the whole of the Bible into German with the first edition being published in Wittenberg in 1534.
Detailed explanation-3: -The first complete English-language version of the Bible dates from 1382 and was credited to John Wycliffe and his followers.
Detailed explanation-4: -The earliest known and partly still available Germanic version of the Bible was the fourth century Gothic translation of Wulfila (c. 311–380). This version, translated primarily from the Greek, established much of the Germanic Christian vocabulary that is still in use today.
