Millions of Kiswahili speakers now have a brand new translation of Bible. This latest translation is the result of the efforts of International Bible Society/Send the Light which is now known as Biblica.
Although Kiswahili speakers already have a Bible in their language, it’s a very difficult read quite like the King James Bible is for English speakers. It’s very old and hence written in an older form of Kiswahili which is not used any longer, and contemporary readers have a hard time deciphering it. The newly translated version is quite like the NIV Bible in the sense that it’s written in simple contemporary language which makes it easy to read and understand.
According to Biblica’s vice president the new Kiswahili Bible’s importance goes beyond the Kenyan market because the language is not only widely used in eastern and central Africa but is spoken in eight countries by a total population of over 60 million people. It will significantly help in evangelical efforts and discipleship across urban, as well as rural population.
