Messianic Jewish Literal Translation of the New Covenant Scriptures (MJLT NCS)
The ''Messianic Jewish Literal Translation'' (MJLT) is a Messianic Jewish Bible translation based on
Young's Literal Translation
Young's Literal Translation (YLT) is a translation of the Bible into English, published in 1862. The translation was made by Robert Young, compiler of '' Young's Analytical Concordance to the Bible'' and ''Concise Critical Comments on the New Te ...
(YLT). The MJLT is a re-rendering of the YLT for the modern, Messianic reader, which the publisher says is meant to restore the Jewish perspective of Scripture which has been "obscured by deeply ingrained anti-Jewish, anti-Torah preconceptions."
Though the translation is meant to bring out the Messianic Jewish context and meaning of the New Covenant Scriptures, the publisher says that it is meant for all believers, whether Jewish or Gentile, who "desire the word’s pure milk." In addition to being Messianic Jewish in nature, the MJLT seeks to put forth the meaning of the original language by giving a literal, word-for-word rendering from Greek to English.
This Bible version has several unusual features:
* The actual Hebrew lettering ''with transliteration'' for various names, places and terms is printed in line with the English text of the MJLT, accentuating the Jewishness of Scripture. Terms and names such as תּוֹרָה, Torah and יֵשׁוּעַ, Yeshua, and titles of books such as מַתִּתְיָהוּ Matit’yahu (Matthew) contain the actual Hebrew lettering.
* The sequence of books has been rearranged, first, according to the author's original audience (either Jewish, or both Jewish and Gentile together), and second, chronologically, according to the order in which they were written.
* Special notations show the reader when and where Paul wrote his letters in relation to the events recorded in the Book of Acts.
New Jerusalem Version (NJV)
The ''New Jerusalem Version'' is an English Messianic Bible translation first published in 2019 by Hineni Publishers. It is primarily an update of the 1901 ASV, WEB and “The Holy Scriptures According to the Masoretic Text,’’ published in 1917 by the Jewish Publication Society. It consists of both the TANAKH (

The New Covenant (Hebrew '; Greek ''diatheke kaine'') is a biblical interpretation which was originally derived from a phrase which is contained in the Book of Jeremiah ( Jeremiah 31:31-34), in the Hebrew Bible (or the Old Testament of the C ...
). The TANAKH is based on the Masoretic text and the Brit Chadashah is mainly based on the Majority Text.
According to the Publisher, Hineni Publishers, the goal of the New Jerusalem Version is to make the personal name of God known to English-speaking people from all around the world, and to help the reader to rediscover the Hebrew roots of the Bible. Where the personal unutterable name of God occurs in the Masoretic Text, the original Hebrew יהוה (the

) has been preserved; and the name of the Messiah has been transliterated from Hebrew: Yeshua. Book titles are in both English and Hebrew, and several Hebrew words such as ''shalom'', ''Torah'', ''kohen'', ''Sheol'', ''Gehinnom'', etc. have been transliterated.
The publisher states the New Jerusalem Version distinguishes itself from most English Bibles by restoring the:
* Personal unutterable Hebrew name of God: יהוה
* Hebrew name of the Messiah: Yeshua
* Feasts of God: Pesach, Shavuot, Yom Kippur, etc.
* Names of God: Adonai Elohim Tzva’ot, El Shaddai, El Elyon, etc.
* Order of books: following the Jewish tradition of the TANAKH (Torah, Nevi’im, Ketuvim).

"The New Messianic Version Bible (NMVB) or (NMV) is a Modern English update of the King James Version, with corrections made in select passages to clarify the Hebrew or Greek.
