This is an attempt to write the story of Scripture translations in Kenya. The story started in 1845 when J.L. Krapf, a German C.M.S. missionary, started his translations of Scriptures into Swahili, Galla and Kamba. The work of translation has since continued to go from strength to strength. There were many problems during the pioneer days. Translators did not know well enough the language into which they were to translate, nor could they get dependable help from their illiterate and semi­ literate converts.

    TAITA hello = mana The Word of God for Taita Speakers KENYA Taita (Dawida or Davida) is a Bantu language spoken in the hills of Kenya. There are over 385,000 Taita speakers worldwide, 93% of which live in Kenya and the remainder in Tanzania.1 Many migrated through Tanzania before settling throughout Kenya. Once settled, the Taita clans interacted with other tribes: the Taveta, Pare of Tanzania and the Maasai, forming what is now the Taita people group. The Taita language is one of six languages spoken in the southern coastal region of Kenya. Today, the influence of Western values has drastically changed the face of their belief system. Over 80% of the Taita people claim Christianity, while only 38% are evangelical. Others practice Islam or Kenyan traditional religions.1 With a literacy rate of 1-5% in this region, an audio Bible will be an essential tool to learning the Word of Taita Speakers God and experiencing his transforming love.2 ACCESSIBILITY OF GOD’S WORD IS MADE POSSIBLE THROUGH PARTNERSHIP Recording & Engagement Partners Distribution Methods Bible Society of Kenya, Trans World Radio Local churches, YouVersion / Bible.com, Davar website, Digital Bible Library, Bible.is Investment Overview Investment Needed: We are in need of full funding to record the Old Testament for the Taita $60,000 people.
