Fra Silvije Grubišić is a distinctive and specific Croatian Bible translator. In his translation solutions, Grubišić, in relation to the original, is extremely authentic, vivid and direct. In this, Grubišić even surpasses some of the translation solutions of many other exceptional Croatian Bible translators.
Grubišić's translation of the Psalms, as well as several of his other vivid and distinctive translation solutions, speak for themselves. In contrast to euphemisms, when it is desired to depict and soften emotional states or emotional reactions, Grubišić is extremely direct, but also directly relevant to the original text. Namely, euphemisms were not and are not part of the Middle Eastern environment, which is clearly reflected in Grubišić's translations. In this, Grubišić is a ruthless translator.
