Young’s Literal Translation (YLT), first published in 1862, is a significant English translation of the Bible that seeks to stay as close as possible to the original Hebrew and Greek texts. The translation, made by Robert Young, a Scottish biblical scholar, is known for its emphasis on literalism and accuracy, rather than smooth readability or interpretative phrasing. It is one of the few translations that maintain the word order and phrasing of the original languages, allowing readers to engage more directly with the text’s original meaning. The YLT is highly valued by scholars and those who wish to study the Bible from a linguistic or doctrinal standpoint. The 1862 edition, leather-bound, is a collector’s item for those interested in biblical translations, offering a timeless and close-to-source approach to the Old and New Testaments, distinct from more modern translations with greater readability.
