The General Superintendent of the Deeper Christian Life Bible Church, Pastor Folorunsho William Kumuyi has produced a Yoruba version of the Holy Bible dubbed “Bibeli Mimo Atoka”.
The revered cleric, with the support of a
team of Yoruba scholars,
reportedly spent 15 years on the project, which was published by the Bible
Society of Nigeria.
In broadcast by the Church, the Bible is designed for easy understanding and is
highly recommended for personal study as well as teaching.
“Bibeli Mimo
Atoka offers the most literally accurate translation from the original while
keeping the integrity of the Bible. This new version takes care of changes that
have occurred over time in the meaning of some expressions found in ancient
Yoruba and makes the Bible more comprehensible and relevant to today’s
readers.”
Pastor Kumuyi also added that the major
doctrines of the scriptures are highlighted and the Bible is specifically and
specially prepared to add that is true to the original with cross-references.
