​Translating the Bible for Church Planting

The Grammar and Archaic Words in the KJB

One of the most frequently voiced objections to using the KJB is the older English it uses.  Those pesky “thee’s” and “thou’s” have been so frequently cussed and discussed until one may think archaic words are all that are found in the KJB.  In this article, I will give a short English grammar tutorial that will hopefully aid in reading the KJB and help to show that the KJB is not as hard to understand as we are led to believe.  Along with that, I will also offer some other suggestions that can help.  I will also take up the argument against the KJB based on archaic and obsolete words.

Isan Translation
​in Audio

In 2016, the 22 million+ Isan people of Northeast Thailand received the New Testament for the first time in history, after missionary translator Ron Myers worked on it for many years.  The Isan New Testament is also no w in audio through the work of brother Myers’ Isan associate Baaw Ter.  A Lao script version of the Isan New Testament has also been produced.  We have added a link to the Isan Bible on our web site.  ​Click​ here to read the Isan Bible

Bukusu Translation Printed

Just received word from Nairobi, Kenya that the printing of the Bukusu John & Romans are finished and ready for shipping. We look forward to sharing pictures of their delivery and the translators that work so diligently on this first ever translation for the Bukusu speaking people. Before it was printed a friend of mine sent a digital copy to another pastor that speaks Bukusu and he asked the question, “who did this translation it is excellent.”
2 Thessalonians 3:1 Finally, brethren, pray for us, that the word of the Lord may have free course, and be glorified, even as it is with you.​ 

Current Status of World Bible Translations

The Chart Below Summarizes where we are regarding Bible translations into the world's languages.  While there are over 3,600 languages that have no published scripture as far as we know, some of these languages have current translation projects underway by one organization or another.  Also, many of the whole Bibles and New Testaments listed are inadequately translated, corrupt translations, or many of the people are dissatisfied with them and wish for a better translation.
