Vice President, Mutale Nalumango has urged churches and partners worldwide to expand the Bible translation work so that every oral language community can hear Scripture in its own voice.<\/p>\n
Mrs Nalumango notes that today, in over a thousand languages and through countless voices, oral Bible translation is advancing.<\/p>\n
She said the voices are telling the story of God\u2019s love and redemption through His Son, Jesus Christ and it is the story that changes everything.<\/p>\n
Mrs Nalumango was speaking at the Oral Bible Translation conference held in Chongwe District.<\/p>\n
\u201cWhat we are witnessing is extraordinary, you are not just participants in a movement but witnesses to what God is doing in our generation and the Word of God is being heard clearly and powerfully, across continents and cultures, in the languages of people who have waited for it all this time,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Mrs Nalumango further stated that oral Bible translation had proven effective in reaching communities where written literacy is limited, allowing scripture to spread through relationships in homes and churches.<\/p>\n
United States of America, Faith Comes by Hearing Vice President, Alex Matthew, said technology is enabling people with little or no formal education to be trained in oral Bible translation using software.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, Bible Literature Translation Association (BiLTA) Executive Chairperson, Jackson Katete, said oral Bible translation builds on African oral traditions of listening, interpreting and internalising knowledge.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
