The 1898 Young’s Literal Translation (YLT) comes from ancient Greek and Hebrew texts. As the name suggests, its main goal was to be extremely faithful to the original words. It prioritizes preserving the original tense and word usage, which can sometimes make the reading sound less natural. However, the value lies in researching the root meanings of words within the text before you having to reach for a concordance.
