Here is an a simple list of Bible translators throughout the centuries who were persecuted, imprisoned, or killed for creating and distributing uncorrupted Bible translations in the language of the common people:

Compare these men’s lives of dedication and pure faith in Christ to titian, Dorf, Westcott, and HORT.

• John Wycliffe? No. (14th century, England)
  Promoted translation of the Bible into English from Latin. His followers produced the Wycliffe Bible. Though he died a natural death, his remains were exhumed 40 years later, burned, and thrown into a river by order of the Pope due to his heretical views and translation work.

• Jan Hus? No. (early 15th century, Bohemia)
  Inspired by Wycliffe, he led the translation of the Bible into Czech. Hus was arrested for heresy and burned at the stake for his reformist activities, including promoting vernacular Scripture.

• William Tyndale? No. (early 16th century, England/Germany/Belgium)
  Known as the Father of the English printed Bible. He translated the New Testament into English from Greek. Tyndale was hunted by church authorities, arrested, and ultimately strangled and burned at the stake in 1536 for producing and distributing English Bibles.

• Thomas Hitton? No. (16th century, England)
  A priest associated with distributing Tyndale’s Bible was burned alive for heresy.

• John Rogers? No. (16th century, England)
  Continued Tyndale’s work, producing the first complete English Bible translated directly from Greek and Hebrew. He was executed by burning for his Bible translation efforts.

• Myles Coverdale? No. (16th century, England)
  Translated and printed the first complete English Bible. Though less is documented about his persecution, he was active during a hostile time to vernacular translations.

• Four unnamed Bible translators? No. (modern era, date unspecified)
  In 2016, four Bible translators working for an American evangelical organization were killed by militants for their translation work in an undisclosed location.

These individuals represent key historical examples of persecution for translating the Bible into vernacular languages, often viewed as heresy and a threat to church authority or political power during their times. Many were executed, imprisoned, or had to flee to continue their work.lifehopeandtruth+2
