La Société Watch Tower n’a jamais publié les noms des membres du Comité de traduction de la Bible du monde nouveau. En 1950, elle a déclaré que les traducteurs avaient demandé à rester anonymes et ‘specifically do not want their names to be published while they are in life or after death’ [‘ne veulent expressément pas que leurs noms soient publiés, ni de leur vivant ni après leur mort’] ; la demande est rappelée dans l’ouvrage historique de 1993, Les Témoins de Jéhovah, prédicateurs du Royaume de Dieu, et la position est encore exposée sur JW.org.

Position de l’organisation ou explication ultérieure : The organisation’s reason is that the work ‘is issued to glorify or memorialize the names of no men’ and that the translators ‘wanted all honor to go to Jehovah God, the Divine Author of his inspired Word’. JW.org contrasts a translation that ‘lists the names of over 70 people’ yet ‘omits the name of the Author—Jehovah God—altogether’.

The Watchtower, “New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures”

15 septembre 1950 · pp.312-320 · par. 24 (p. 320) · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

“It is issued to glorify or memorialize the names of no men. Therefore the men who compose the translation committee have indicated their desire to the Society’s boards of directors to remain anonymous, and specifically do not want their names to be published while they are in life or after death.”

This is the article that introduced the New World Translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures to readers. It records that on 3 September 1949 at 8 a.m. the Society’s president convened a joint meeting of the boards of directors of the Pennsylvania and New York corporations and “announced to these eight fellow directors the existence of a ‘New World Bible Translation Committee’ and that it had completed a translation of the Christian Greek Scriptures”; that the committee submitted its foreword on 9 February 1950; and that the translation was released on the afternoon of Wednesday 2 August 1950 at Yankee Stadium during the Theocracy’s Increase Assembly, to an audience drawn from 72 lands.

Jehovah’s Witnesses—Proclaimers of God’s Kingdom, “Chapter 27: Printing and Distributing God’s Own Sacred Word”

1993 · pp.603-615 · footnote b to par. 22 (p. 608) · Watchtower Bible and Tract Society of New York, Inc.

“This translation was assigned to the Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania for publication, with the request that the names of the translators never be published. They wanted all honor to go to Jehovah God, the Divine Author of his inspired Word.”

The footnote is attached to the paragraph recording that Nathan H. Knorr first proposed a fresh translation in early October 1946, that work began on 2 December 1947, that “The complete text was carefully reviewed by the entire translation committee, all of them spirit-anointed Christians”, and that on 3 September 1949 Knorr told the boards of directors the committee had finished the Christian Greek Scriptures.

JW.org Frequently Asked Questions, “Do Jehovah’s Witnesses Have Their Own Bible?”

19 septembre 2026 · Watch Tower Bible and Tract Society of Pennsylvania

“In contrast, the New World Translation restores the divine name in the thousands of places where it existed in the original text, while the committee that produced the translation remains anonymous.”

The page gives three reasons for the translation — use of God’s name, accuracy and clarity — and introduces the anonymity point by observing that “one Bible translation lists the names of over 70 people who in some way contributed to its production. Yet, this same Bible omits the name of the Author—Jehovah God—altogether!” It adds that the translation “is distributed without charge”, and states that as of 1 May 2026 it is available in whole or in part in the languages then listed.

Notes. This is the organisation’s current, public statement of why the committee is unnamed: the contrast it draws is between naming translators and naming God.
