Farsi version closest to KJV

[ntavioa]

I have a friend from Iran who is a new believer. As I don't speak farsi, (my friend has an intermediate english level, although we started using the KJV Bible, I would still want this friend to have a farsi Bible)I don't know which farsi Bible to recommend my friend. To our friends here who speak farsi, which Farsi Bible is the "KJV" Bible?

And on a side note, maybe I should learn Farsi myself also

I have no personal knowledge of Farsi (none, nothing, totally ignorant...).
But "The KJV Store" recommends the Farsi (Persian) Contemporary Translation ‎[International Bible Society, 1995] LINK
I could only guess that it was translated from a textus receptus.
Though oddly enough, it is advertised as a "thought-for-thought" translation; it should be sufficient for a new believer.

Wikipedia gives brief outline of various Persian versions: "Bible translations into Persian"

BE VERY CAREFUL ABOUT SHIPPING BIBLES AND RELIGIOUS MATERIAL TO MUSLIM DOMINATED COUNTRIES!
IT TRULY COULD BE A LIFE AND DEATH ISSUE.
