I think the most important thing to consider in the issue of translating the Tamil Bible is not the issue of “whose Tamil or whose translation” (:280) but the canonical matter that can deliver the message of God to the audience in the closest way that God wants to speak.

But I believe that using the native language because it is more helpful for the Tamil society to catch the closer meaning of God’s intention through the Scripture of their own language.
