Kalenjin Bible Project

23 January 2023  

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 extant Kalenjin Bibles.

In May 2022 Mr Philip Hopkins, Senior Editorial Consultant (Projects), went to Kenya and met the lead translator after working with him for the past eight years. It was also good to have five of the six supporting translators in the meeting.

The team have submitted the New Testament and it is now being prepared for typesetting. The team are also well advanced in their work on the Old Testament and have produced a draft text of all thirty-nine books, which they hope to start reviewing.
