Global Scripture Access Report UNITED BIBLE SOCIETIES Global Scripture Access Report May 2014 1 1. Progress in 2013 In 2013 Bible Societies assisted in the completion of translations in 18 languages with the potential to impact over 15 million people. This was ‘a first’ for eleven languages! Seven of these eleven languages now have a full Bible, two have New Testaments and two have portions. The remaining seven languages into which translations were completed in 2013 received new translations or revisions to help communicate God’s Word in a way that is more easily understood for people today. (See Appendix A for further details.) Number of language speakers of completed translations (millions) First translations 5.3 New translations 9.4 Revisions 1 0 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 | Page 2 2. 100 Bibles in 1000 days Hundreds of millions of people still don’t have access to a full Bible in their own language. And many people are waiting for new translations or revisions so they don’t have to struggle to understand translations that are decades, even centuries, old. In 2013 United Bible Societies identified 100 full Bibles that could be completed by the end of 2015. These included 43 First translations, 27 New translations and 30 Revisions. By May 2014 over half of these have completed the translation stage with 15 published and a further 43 in pre- production or printing.

Scripture Access Today Scriptures Translated United Bible Societies is committed to providing as many people as possible with the full Bible. Thankfully the number of full Bibles is increasing and digital technology is helping accelerate both the speed of translation and access to Scripture. There are now over 500 languages with the full Bible and nearly 1,300 with the New Testament. But with over 4,000 languages that have no Scripture in their language at all, much work still remains to be done. This graph shows the current state of Bible translation amongst the world’s languages.1 Number of languages with Scriptures Bibles 511 Testaments 1295 No Scripture Portions 4455 844 1 These figures have been compiled from physical copies held in the Bible Library in Brazil (as reported in the Scripture Language Report 2013 - see Appendix B) plus other Scriptures that have been published but not yet sent to the Library. | Page 4 Scripture Access Great strides have been made in the last year in the availability of Scriptures in electronic formats. The Digital Bible Library™ In 2011 United Bible Societies (UBS) launched The Digital Bible Library™ project in partnership with other Bible Agencies and with the support of the Every Tribe Every Nation alliance. As of May 2014 The Digital Bible Library™ includes 800 Bibles, Testaments and portions in 636 languages. Bible Search Bible Search is a search engine created by American Bible Society to take advantage of the growing global access to the internet to give people access to Scripture online. Bible Search now has 582 versions in 466 languages.

Scripture Language Report The Scripture Language Report details the contents of the physical Bible Library maintained in Sao Paulo by the Bible Society of Brazil.

While 7 full Bibles were received, the overall total remains unchanged from 2012 because no completely new languagues were received at the Bible Library last year. The figure for the number of languages with only portions is reduced by 7 because these languages now have the whole of the New Testament. The number of New Testaments remains unchanged overall because the 7 languages which now have the whole New Testament matches exactly the 7 languages which now have the full Bible (instead of just the New Testament). For the full report, please see Appendix B - Scripture Language Report 2013, prepared by the Bible Society of Brazil. | Page 6 “We are delighted that our Bible Library received seven first complete Bibles and seven first New Testaments in 2013. We pray that these new Scriptures will have a lasting spiritual impact in the lives of individuals and communities alike. We are aware our physical Library is not complete. So we appeal to Bible Societies and our sister Bible translation agencies to send us new translations. Our mission is to preserve as complete a physical archive as possible of the book, which we believe, is the most significant book in the world.” - Erní Seibert, Communications & Social Outreach Secretary, Bible Society of Brazil To ensure the Bible Library has records of all languages, please send two copies of all new Bibles, New Testaments and portions to the address below (reprints of previous editions are not needed).

Clooney Rakesh Peter Dass Language and Religion in Modern India: The Vernacular Literature of Hindi Christians Abstract A persistent interest in a particular type of Christian witness is found in a substantial amount of Hindi-language Protestant (hereafter, ‘Hindi Christian’) literature in modern India. Across a range of texts like Hindi translations of the Bible, theo-ethical works, hymns, biblical commentaries, and poems, this literature calls attention to a form of Christian witness or discipleship that both is credible and recognizable and is public. This witness aims to be credibly Christian: as I will show, Hindi Christian texts have regularly rejected a Hindu concept like avătār in favor of a neologism like dehădhāran to communicate a Christian notion of incarnation in a predominantly Hindu context.

  • Bible Translation in the Indian Context K
    /JT4212 (2000),pp. 125-137 Bible Translation in the Indian Context K. Regu* Introduction India is a multilingual, pluricultural and multiethnic nation. India is known for its religious plurality also. There are more than 1652languages spoken by different social groups, sometimes spreading beyond socio-cultural barriers, in India. All these languages coine under 4 families such as, Indo-Aryan, Dravidian, Austr,o-Asiatic (Munda) and Tibeto-Burmese, among which only a very few languages have thei,r own scripts and written records available in different forms. The Bible comes first in term~ of translation across most of the world languages. In India also the Bible more than any other literature has been translated into many languages·: i.e., in more than 60 languages in fujl)nd partially available in many other limguages-200 languages approximately. · [. It is through Bible translation th*'many scholars ventured into the preparation ofgrammar for various Indian languages. Linguistics played a major role in identifying, classifying and grouping these languages under differ~nt families according to the genetic relations with one ·another. Through Bible translation the people oflndia are linked together across the social, cultural and linguistic boundaries within India and outside India. A global unity also is being developed through Bible and biblical thoughts in this millennium. I. India and Her Languages 1.1. The Indian Empire is a well-known book which was published in the year 1881 by Sir William Hunter. Later the same was revised and published in 4 Volumes under the title The Imperial Gazetteer ofIndia: The Indian Empire during 19.07-1909.

Box 1346 Ann Arbor, Ml 48106- 1346 Abstract The thesis aims to analyse the construction of a Protestant Tamil identity primarily through the examination of six Protestant translations of the Bible in Tamil and Protestant Tamil poetry. The chapters discuss the points of conflict that arose as a result of the different strategies of assimilation adopted by Protestant missionaries and Protestant Tamils. Chapter 1 has two main sections. The first section provides an outline of the various levels of influence that Catholic and Protestant missionaries had on Tamil language and literature. The second section gives an historical delineation of Protestant translations of the six Tamil Bible versions that the thesis discusses in detail.
