Towards a Participatory Approach to Bible Translation (PABT)
TRANSLATING JONAH’S NARRATION AND POETRY INTO SABAOT Towards a Participatory Approach to Bible Translation (PABT) BY DIPHUS CHOSEFU CHEMORION DISSERTATION PRESENTED FOR THE DEGREE OF DOCTOR OF THEOLOGY AT STELLENBOSCH UNIVERSITY PROMOTER: Prof. L.C. JONKER CO-PROMOTER: Prof. C.H.J. VAN DER MERWE MARCH 2008 ii DECLARATION By submitting this dissertation electronically, I declare that the entirety of the work contained therein is my own, original work, that I am the owner of the copyright thereof (unless to the extent explicitly otherwise stated) and that I have not previously in its entirety or in part submitted it for obtaining any qualification. SIGNED:_____________________ DATE: 22 February 2008 Copyright © 2008 Stellenbosch University All rights reserved iii ABSTRACT TRANSLATING JONAH’S NARRATION AND POETRY INTO SABAOT: Towards a Participatory Approach to Bible Translation (PABT) By Diphus Chosefu Chemorion Recent developments in the field of translation studies have shown that a single translation of the Bible cannot be used for all the functions for which people may need a translation of the Bible. Unlike the case in the past when new versions of the Bible were viewed with suspicion, it is now increasingly acknowledged that different types of the Bible are necessary for different communicative functions. While many African communities have only a pioneer mother tongue translation of the Bible, Scripture use reports indicate that in some situations, the mother tongue translations have not been used as it was intended. The writer of this dissertation supports the view that some of the Christians in their respective target language communities do not use available mother tongue translations because they find them to be inappropriate for their needs. -

Date……………… Prof. John Mugubi School of Creative and Performing Arts, Film and Media Studies, Kenyatta University Sign……………………………………………….Date……………… Dr. Wallace Mbugua Department of Literature, Kenyatta University ii DEDICATION To my father, John Kweyey Chepsigor Kapkamba for your foresight and commitment to send us to school albeit grinding poverty. Our family’s relative success illuminated Kipsagam and Cheptumbelio, some of the remotest villages in Kenya. Today, a degree is the bare minimum academic credential a child aspires for there. My mother, Joyce Cheptalach, dropping out of school early did not stop you from providing for us, always chiding and admonishing us for not working hard at school. You brewed traditional beer, often dodging police dragnet and Provincial Administration, just to raise school fees for us. Mom, I am proud of you. My wife and confidant, Topister Sabila, I will forever be grateful for your constant reminder of the need to conclude this thesis and offering the moral support as I negotiated through this exhausting academic work. -

Natural Resources and Conflict in Africa is a treasure of scholarship and insight, with great depth and thoroughness, and it will put us in Abiodun Alao’s debt for quite some NATURAL RESOURCES time to come.” —Amos Sawyer, Co-director, Workshop in Political Theory and Policy Analysis, Indiana University AND CONFLICT “As extensive in information as it is rich in analysis, Natural Resources and Conflict in Africa IN AFRICA should help this generation of scholars appreciate the enormity and complexity of Africa’s conflicts and provide the next generation with a methodology that breaks down disciplinary boundaries.” —Akanmu G. Adebayo, Executive Director, Institute for Global Initiatives, Kennesaw State University THE TRAGEDY “Abiodun Alao has provided us with an effulgent book on a timely topic. This work transcends the perfunctory analyses that exist on natural resources and their role in African conflicts.” OF ENDOWMENT —Abdul Karim Bangura, Researcher-In-Residence at the Center for Global Peace, and professor of International Relations and Islamic Studies, School of International Service, American University onflict over natural resources has made Africa the focus of international attention, particularly during the last decade. From oil in Nigeria and diamonds in the Democra- Abiodun Alao Ctic Republic of Congo, to land in Zimbabwe and water in the Horn of Africa, the poli- tics surrounding ownership, management, and control of natural resources has disrupted communities and increased external intervention in these countries. -
