I'd be interested in this. The interesting aspect of translating to lojban 
is that it should be possible to unambiguously express what the text is 
clearly understood to mean, when there's a good scholarly consensus what 
that is--such as that the "firmament" in Genesis 1 is a solid dome--but 
also to unambiguously specify where the text is genuinely ambiguous, as in 
passages like "the love of Christ constrains me."
