TBS Kalenjin Scriptures
13 June 2022
Since 2014 TBS has been working with a team in Kenya to prepare a faithful new translation of the Kalenjin Scriptures directly from the Biblical languages, with secondary reference to the Authorised (King James) Version and other extant Kalenjin Bibles. Kalenjin is one of the tribal languages belonging to the Nilotic family. There are several million Kalenjin speakers in Kenya, but little published literature in the language. Earlier this year, the team in Kenya shared their draft translation of the New Testament, and it was thoroughly reviewed by the Society’s Editorial Department. However, the translators have requested further time to polish the draft New Testament translation, and this has been agreed subject to this being the final read through and the work being completed by the end of 2022. The translators have also made good progress with the Old Testament text and hope to finalise it in 2024, Lord willing. We would request prayer for the final reading of the New Testament text. ‘For the word of the LORD is right; and all his works are done in truth’ (Psalm 33.4).
