There are many parallel translations of the Bible. For fun, I used http://www.mechon-mamre.org/i/t/t2608.htm (Psalm 8) in Hebrew and used Google Translate. To say that the results were ridiculous greatly understates the problem. (Try it). When being asked to translate Biblical passages (a common enough request), Google Translate should recognize the nature of the request and "look-up" a parallel translation rather than to attempt its own. Were one to evaluate Google Translate based on its Biblical translation ability, one would have to conclude that machine translation had advanced not at all from the earliest efforts in the 1960s.
