The Getroue Afrikaanse Bybel (GAB) is a new, independent translation of the 1769 Cambridge King James Bible into Afrikaans. It follows the Received Text — the Textus Receptus and the Masoretic Text — the same preserved text the King James rests on, not the modern critical text.

Word-for-word faithful

A careful, literal translation of the King James — not a paraphrase or a loose retelling.

On the Received Text

Built on the Textus Receptus and the Masoretic Text — the preserved Word, not the modern critical text.

Beside the English KJV

Read the Afrikaans and the original English side by side, verse for verse.
