Full facsimile of the original edition, not reproduced with Optical Recognition software. Young's Literal Translation is a translation of the Bible into English, first published in 1862. Young used the Textus Receptus (TR) and the Majority Text (MT) as the basis for his translation. The Literal Translation is unusual in that, as the name implies, it is a very literal translation of the original Hebrew and Greek texts. For example, Young used the present tense in many places in which other translations use the past tense, particularly in narratives. Young's translation is closer to the Hebrew than the better-known versions of this passage in English. Young strives for strictness in translating words and tenses. Therefore he provides a valuable standard by which, with study, one can judge and compare the accuracy of modern versions in rendering the Bible into readable English. He will help in discerning where translation stops, and interpretation begins.

It should be in the bookshelf of every serious student of the Bible,especially if he aspires to preach. It would not be easy or necessary to preach from, because a translation usually involves a measure of paraphrase. Even them, there are ambiguities in the original languages where the translator, even Dr Young, has to make a choice, possibly with doctrinal significance. For example, in John 15: 2, Young has "every branch in me not bearing fruit, He doth take it away..." Th e Greek source is airei, which can mean "he taketh away" or "he lifteth it up." The idea of lifting up a branch in order to bring it into the sun in order to bear fruit is vastly different. A fruitless branch can either be taken away, he has lost his salvation, or restored, a very different concept. In Hebrews 9:15-17, YLT is the only translation , apart from the NASB, which makes sense. The Greek diatheke can mean covenant or it can mean testament, or will. If the latter, it means Christ made a will, died, and executed His own will. Even the KJV errs in this. I had been using the excellent Bible Hub comparative site, another indispensible source, but on the strength of this I bought my own YLT. A Bible is only as good as its source documents. Young uses the Textus Receptus. In his preface he does not presume to arbitrate between versions, because he doesn't believe many people are qualified as translators and textual critics. So this is a translation of the Textus Receptus. What I find vital is that this translator believes in the inerrancy of Scripture, and in verbal inspiration of the original manuscripts, ie every word is inspired by God and appears as God intended. He accepts that the inerrancy extends only to the original texts. However , even the best translation is likely to be coloured by the beliefs of the translator. Young believes in inerrancy, and does not admit the possibility of error in the pens of the authors. he relies on the promise given by the Holy Spirit keeping Christ's promise to guide them into all truth. They are written by men, not robots, but men who were guided into all truth.He clearly regards the Bible as a work of the Holy Spirit, using human channels, Who overaw the work in order ot make it inerrant. To Young, tenses and articles matter- the tense must be correctly translated, and definite articles included where they were found in the source documents. He has written scholarly prefaces to all editions. His translation is not intended to compete with the Common Version, by which I think he means the KJV, but to supplement it. Sorry to ramble, but this book is an eye-opener, especially to one like me, whose Greek is extremely limited. It is translated into 19th century English, with King James style verb-endings. This has the advantage, lost in all modern translations, of distinguishing between the second person singular and plural, eg Luke 22:32. He also translates John 13:2 as "supper being come", which is correct. On practical considerations, the book has a hard cover, and will stay open at any page. It is on nice firm paper, which doesn't concertina like so many Bibles. the typeface is small, but easily legible. It is not cluttered up with glossaries, maps or abridged concordances, but still weighs in at about 1.5kg! He also found time to write Young's Analytical Concordance, another vast work of scholarship! This I have found indispensable. ## Frequently Bought Together - Young's Literal Translation of the Holy Bible: With Prefaces to 1st, Revised, & 3rd Editions - Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible (MCD) - Young's Literal Translation (YLT) Bible: Complete Old and New Testament --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - πŸ›’ **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** β€” Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** β€” Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - πŸ’° **No Hidden Fees** β€” All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - πŸ”„ **15-Day Free Returns** β€” Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - πŸ”’ **Secure Payments** β€” Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** β€” Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/76277967-youngs-literal-translation-of-the-holy-bible-with-prefaces-to](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/76277967-youngs-literal-translation-of-the-holy-bible-with-prefaces-to) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-10-12*
