Maltese Bible Revision

Location: Malta 
Speakers: 544,700
Project Status: Bible 
Christian Population: 97%

In recent decades many changes have occurred to the Maltese language and the government has sought to standardise it. As a result, TBS is revising the Maltese Bible, with the team seeking to use vocabulary and grammar that reflects the current literary standard of the language. The first fruits of the project was the publication of 100,000 copies of the Gospel according to John in 2018.

In 2023, we were able to appoint a new lead reviser to work on the TBS Maltese Bible. The draft revision of the whole Bible is now largely completed, and is undergoing further review by others. Please continue to pray for this project.

How to pray for the project:

• Pray for the revision team as they endeavour to finalise the text of the Maltese Bible and produce a faithful translation of God’s Word.
• Pray for the translation analysis, typesetting, and final editorial checks.
• Pray that the Bible would be distributed widely among Maltese speakers.
