Indonesian AYT Bible (INDAYT)

Overview

The Alkitab Yang Terbuka (AYT), meaning "The Open Bible," is an Indonesian Bible translation produced by Yayasan Lembaga SABDA (YLSA). Rather than a wholly new translation, AYT is described as a retranslation (terjemahan ulang) based on the original Hebrew and Greek texts, as well as English and Indonesian sources and modern biblical tools, and is distributed as part of an integrated, openly accessible Bible study system. [1] The New Testament was developed between 2010 and 2024, and the Old Testament between 2014 and 2024. [2] The translation follows three guiding principles: faithful to the original languages, clear in expression, and relevant to contemporary Indonesian readers. [1] Its text is released under Copyright with Copyleft and Creative Commons terms permitting free non-commercial use and responsible derivatives, with permissions managed by YLSA, and is available in multiple digital formats including audio, mobile apps, and web platforms. [2] YLSA's stated motto for the project is "The Digital WORD for a Digital World." [2]
