62-680: A free translation but may be found in a more literal one, through deeper teaching of the Holy Spirit—it is evidently necessary to reproduce the original text as in a mirror." William Joseph Lowe (1840–1927) and Pierre Schlumberger were in the translation team for the Pau-Vevey French translation which was first issued in 1859. The title page read, ' Les Livres Saints connus sous le Nom de Nouveau Testament. Version nouvelle   . ' Darby worked on this project in Pau , Southern France, but

93-543: A full translation and he proceeded on the German translation with von Poseck and Carl Brockhaus (1822–1899). The German NT was published in 1855. When von Poseck moved to England in 1857, the Old Testament translation was made by Darby, Brockhaus and a Dutch Hebraist, Hermanus Cornelis Voorhoeve (1837–1901). The OT work commenced 1869 and was completed in 1871, when the whole Bible was published. Since then there have been

124-404: A number of drafts. The work is a strictly literal rendering , always translating a Greek or Hebrew word with the same word wherever possible. Smith accomplished this work on her own in the span of eight years (1847 to 1855). She had sought out no help in the venture, even writing, "I do not see that anybody can know more about it than I do." Smith wanted to be as literal as possible, partially as

155-539: A number of significant updates and revisions, including the revisions in 1960, 1975, 1985 by R. Brockhaus Verlag Elberfeld (entitled: "Elberfelder Bibel") and most recently in 2003 by Christliche Schriftenverbreitung Hückeswagen (entitled: "Elberfelder Übersetzung, Edition CSV Hückeswagen"). Darby's principles of translation are in the Introduction to his German translation of the New Testament: "Now whilst

186-512: A result of a failed end-of-the-world prediction by William Miller , which claimed to be based on biblical texts. Smith believed this failure stemmed from straying from the original languages of the Bible, and she set about to create a better translation. Smith's insistence on complete literalness, plus an effort to translate each original word with the same English word, combined with an uncompromising translation of Hebrew tenses (often translating

217-755: A translation as possible." In the Old Testament Darby translates the covenant name of God as " Jehovah " instead of rendering it "LORD" or "GOD" (in all capital letters) as most English translations do. Among other widely used English translations aside from The Darby Bible, other versions have followed this practice, such as Robert Young's Literal Translation (1862, 1898),The Julia E. Smith Parker Translation (1876), The American Standard Version (1901), The Bible in Living English (1972), Green's Literal Translation (1985), Recovery Version (1999), Holman Christian Standard Bible [Yahweh-2004],

248-596: A translation based on his French work was completed by Plymouth Brethren members, Edward Lawrence Bevir (1847–1922) (one of JND's peers) and revised by Alexander Carruthers (1860–1930). The Italian NT was first issued in 1890 and a revision was completed in 1930. It is still in print (2008). This edition of the New Testament arose out of the peculiar tendency among the Taylor Exclusive Brethren to complete and exact uniformity. Its page layout

279-479: Is Jeremiah 22:23: Thou dwelling in Lebanon, building a nest in the cedars, how being compassionated in pangs coming to thee the pain as of her bringing forth. Smith's strict literalism produces an English text that is very concise, at times using far fewer words than other translations. In addition to exact Hebrew tense translation, Greek tenses are also translated literally, providing the same raw transparency. Note

310-536: Is almost precisely similar to the English edition produced by the Taylor Brethren in 1961 and published by AB Petersons Foerlag, Gothenburg. The principal work was done by Eric Carrén and is in fact a tertiary translation based on the German and other Darby translations of the New Testament. The Swedish 'Darby' New Testament is still in print (2008). Previous attempts to produce a 'Darby' type translation of

Philippians 4:13 I have strength for all things in him that gives me power. The Darby Bible in German is known as the "Elberfelder Bibel". Julius Anton von Poseck (1816–1896) had been translating some NT Epistles into German. In 1851 he sent his work in progress to Darby for review. This stimulated Darby to begin work in 1854 on

403-526: The Darby Bible includes the 1871 New Testament Preface, which says in part: "All the instances in which the article is wanting before Kurios are not marked by brackets; but I give here all the passages in which Kurios, which the LXX employ for Jehovah, thence transferred to the New Testament, is used as a proper name; that is, has the sense of 'Jehovah.'" It then gives a listing of those places. For some verses

434-560: The Darby New Testament has detailed footnotes which make reference to his scholarly textual criticism comparisons. Critics of the Darby Bible include Charles Spurgeon . Genesis 1:1-3 In the beginning God created the heavens and the earth. And the earth was waste and empty, and darkness was on the face of the deep, and the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light. And there

465-480: The Hebrew imperfect tense with the English future tense ) resulted in a translation that some regard as mechanical. An example of this is Genesis 4:1: And Adam knew Life, his wife, and she will conceive and bear Cain, and said, I obtained a man of Jehovah. Noteworthy translation aspects in this verse are the name of Adam's wife, the future tense "will conceive" mixed with the past tense "knew", "said" and "obtained",

The footnotes of many editions (such as the 1961 Modified Notes Edition) of Darby Bible's New Testament indicate where "Lord" ("Kurios" in Greek) in the scripture text probably refers to Jehovah . The 1961 Modified Notes Edition of

527-551: The New Testament had been made by a Glanton brother. He tentatively published at least two of Paul's Epistles in booklet form (copies held at Cross Archive, London).

589-436: The basis of Darby's work. It contains annotations by F. E. Raven. Julia E. Smith Parker Translation Julia E. Smith (1792–1886), of Glastonbury, Connecticut , had a working knowledge of Latin , Greek and Hebrew . Her father had been a Congregationalist minister before he became a lawyer.

620-558: The brevity and tense of John 3:16: For God so loved the world, that he gave his only born Son, that every one believing in him perish not, but have eternal life. Smith began her translation in 1847 and finished it in 1855. In 1876, at 84 years of age, some 21 years after completing her work, she finally sought publication. The publication costs ($ 4,000) were personally funded by Julia and her sister Abby Smith. The 1,000 copies printed were offered for $ 2.50 each, but her household auction in 1884 sold about 50 remaining copies. The translation

651-573: The critical work of Samuel Prideaux Tregelles and various other scholars. Darby's translation work was not intended to be read aloud. His work was for study and private use. In his own oral ministry he generally used the English KJV. When Darby first issued his New Translation into English he wrote in the preface to the Revelation: "if the reader find my translation exceedingly similar to Mr. William Kelly 's, I can only rejoice in it, as mine

682-418: The difficulties are of conveying the expressions of one language, especially of the rich Greek, in another, those alone can tell who have tried to make a translation. [...] We might indeed have clothed many passages in more elegant German, but, without being in bondage to words, we have been governed throughout by the thought that the faithful rendering of the original text outweighs every other consideration; and

713-523: The earth; give us to-day our needed bread, and forgive us our debts, as we also forgive our debtors, and lead us not into temptation, but save us from evil. John 1:1-3 In [the] beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God.*He* was in the beginning with God. All things received being through him, and without him not one [thing] received being which has received being. John 7:16–17 Jesus therefore answered them and said, My doctrine

744-548: The lack of quote marks, and translation of the Tetragrammaton. The Divine Name, Jehovah, is featured prominently throughout the Old Testament of this Bible version. In 5876 verses Jehovah appears 6934 times in the OT, per e-Sword. For example, Genesis 2:4 reads: These the generations of the heavens and the earth in creating them, in the day of Jehovah God’s making the earth and the heavens. Another example of Smith's translation

775-550: The learned can examine the original text, this privilege is out of the reach of the unlearned, and of those unacquainted with that text. It has therefore been our endeavour and object to give a helping hand to the latter class, and to furnish them at a small cost with as faithful and exact a representation as possible of the divine word in their own language. Undoubtedly every translation must be more or less defective, and we by no means value our work so highly as that we would set aside one more perfectly executed by another hand. How great

806-466: The more so because we believe with the very fullest conviction the divine inspiration of the holy scriptures as the revelation of the infinite wisdom of God, and the expression of His gracious character in Jesus Christ. But since no one is able to grasp the whole expanse of this revelation, and often a meaning beyond the comprehension of the translator lies hidden in a sentence, which would be lost in

The complete Bible appeared in 1885. The 'Darby' New Translation of the New Testament in Dutch is chiefly the work of H. C. Voorhoeve, but he seems to have leaned somewhat on the labours of the German team. His work has gone through a number of revisions. The most recent (5th) edition of

899-577: Was first published in 1890. Darby's purpose was, as he states in the preface to his English NT, to make a modern translation for the unlearned who have neither access to manuscript texts nor training and knowledge of ancient languages of the Scriptures. He was the principal scholar for a number of translations – and not the sole translator of any one of the various translations that bear his name. He worked with various brethren who had academic and spiritual qualifications. He also acknowledges dependence on

930-518: Was light. Isaiah 34:14 And there shall the beasts of the desert meet with the jackals, and the wild goat shall cry to his fellow; the Lilith also shall settle there, and find for herself a place of rest. Psalm 119:89 LAMED. For ever, O Jehovah, thy word is settled in the heavens.

961-439: Was made a year or two before his came out, and he has never seen mine up to the time of my writing this ..." (Darby went on to write that his New Testament translation had been lying by him for some years then.) In his introduction to the 1871 German version, he wrote, "In the issue of this translation, the purpose is not to offer to the man of letters a learned work, but rather to provide the simple and unlearned reader with as exact
