The Trinitarian Bible Society (TBS) has completed the Chichewa Bible translation, to provide 14.4 million speakers from several African nations with an accurate translation in their own language after 11 years of work.
TBS undertook the project in conjunction with the Free Grace Evangelistic Association (FGEA) since there were several “textual and translation issues” with existing Chichewa translations. An accurately translated New Testament was released in 2020, and the TBS aim to distribute the fully translated Bible early next year.
TBS Editorial Director Matthew Vogan told en: “Local pastors and ministers had expressed concerns about differences they found when comparing existing Chichewa versions with translations from the Received Text like the Authorised Version (King James Version).
