Book excerpt: The Modern Young's Literal Translation of the Bible is a modernization of the Young's Literal Translation. The text of the 1898 edition was used for this. The only changes made were to sentence structure and archaic language. The original meanings are still intact. All effort has been made to preserve the original meaning and flow of Young's Literal Translation. The Modern Young's Literal Translation is easier to read and understand with today's English. This is an excellent Bible translation because it retains the original literal translating and and meanings, but is easier to read. This title here is the New Testament with Psalms and Proverbs.
