La Bible Louis Segond Audio – French Bible with Audio
La Bible Louis Segond Audio is a free iPhone app that provides the French translation of the Bible, known as the Louis Segond Version. This version, based on the King James Version (KJV), includes both the Old and New Testaments.
The app also recommends the “Concordance Biblique” app, which can be found in the developer’s other applications.
Louis Segond, a theologian, was commissioned by the Compagnie des pasteurs de Genève to create a new translation of the Bible. Unlike previous translations that relied on the Latin Vulgate, Segond translated directly from the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek texts. The resulting version was first published in 1880 and became widely adopted by French-speaking Protestant communities.
The 1910 edition of the Louis Segond Version, which is available in this app, has been revised and updated to better reflect the divinity of Jesus Christ according to the original texts.
With La Bible Louis Segond Audio, users can access the French Bible on their iPhones and listen to audio recordings of the scriptures. It is a valuable resource for those seeking to study or engage with the Bible in French.
