King Smurf Version

The King Smurf Version (also known as Poet's Translation) is a translation of the Holy Bible that was created by Poet Smurf in the EMPATH: The Luckiest Smurf story series. It is written in a language with wording that is identical to the later human-produced King James Version.

Poet created this translation of the Bible after years of being a Christian and hearing what became known as Tapper's Translation, finding it to be rather dry in comparison with how he imagined the Almighty actually sounded like. Though the project took him seven years to complete, using the Hebrew and Greek texts that were copied from Tapper's Translation, he felt as if his efforts had produced a masterpiece of literature that would honor the Almighty.

The problem was, during its initial years of publication, though a few Smurfs found the translation to be rather poetic and even dramatic in its use of language, hardly anybody really used it because they couldn't understand the form of language that used in the translation. Nevertheless, it has gained a following among the few that could understand it and had for a time raised up a group of "King Smurf Version only" Smurfs that believed that it was the only true form of the Word of God among the Smurfs. Tapper doesn't discourage anybody from using the King Smurf Version, but prays that they would not use it to cause divisions among those in the Smurf Village that became Christians.
