Shalom Rabbonim,
I am looking forward to the Yoreh Deah course starting today!
I would like to ask a question about translating the Holy Texts of Judaism. Can Noahides translate Tanakh + Rashi commentary into their own languages? Not for publication, but for study purposes. A lot of the times Tanakh with Rashi commentary, which is a key component of Noahide Torah study, is not available in our native languages. Would it be OK to translate this informally for Torah study purposes, or would this be prohibited?
Also, how about translating permitted texts such as Mishneh Torah or Mesilat Yesharim, into one's own language, for study purposes (not for publication) ?
Thank you so much for considering my question!
E
