No paraphrasing. No smoothing. No interpreter standing between the reader and the text.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThere was one problem. Young wrote in the English of Victorian Scotland. \u003ci\u003eThee, thou, doth, hath, behoveth, sheweth.\u003c\/i\u003e Language that was already formal in his own day has become a wall between modern readers and the most literal Bible translation in existence.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eThe New Literal Translation removes that wall - and nothing else.\u003c\/b\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eEvery archaic word has been carefully replaced with its modern equivalent. The literal structure Young labored to preserve - the word order reflecting the original languages, the verb tenses mirroring the Greek and Hebrew, the implied-word brackets, the parenthetical clauses, the consistent term choices - all of it remains exactly as Young rendered it. What has changed is only the English clothing. What has not changed is the word-for-word faithfulness that makes Young's work unlike any other translation.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThen this edition goes further.
