About the Darby French Bible (John Nelson Darby) (FREJND) Translation
John Nelson Darby, best known in the English-speaking world for his own English Bible translation, also produced a French translation of the Bible in the 19th century, following the standard 66-book Protestant canon and translating directly from the Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek source texts. Like his English translation, it aimed for close, literal fidelity to the original languages rather than smooth literary style. More than a century later it remains a widely used public-domain French Bible, valued by French-speaking readers - across France and the large and growing Christian population of Francophone Africa - for its precision.
