Darby Translation (ENGDBY)

Overview

The Darby Bible (DBY, formal title The Holy Scriptures: A New Translation from the Original Languages by J. N. Darby) refers to the Bible as translated from Hebrew and Greek by John Nelson Darby (1800–1882), who intended the work for study rather than public reading. Darby published a translation of the New Testament in 1867, with revised editions in 1872 and 1884, and produced parallel French (Pau, 1859) and German (Elberfelder, 1871) translations alongside the English. After his death, some of his students compiled an Old Testament translation from his French and German texts and the surviving English notes. The complete Darby Bible, combining Darby's third-edition New Testament and his students' Old Testament, was first published in 1890.
