Ibibemuwe-Num Iyiki Ifa Ru Dũya (LDBEBL)

Overview

This is a complete New Testament translation in the Duya language of Nigeria, published by Wycliffe Bible Translators (copyright 2024). The translation team navigated challenges where sentence structures in biblical Greek differ significantly from Duya, causing meaning to be lost in initial translations. [1] When Duya speakers encountered Scripture in their language, many said "Oh, I didn't know that was what it was saying!" The JESUS film was shown in Duya for the first time, speaking powerfully to the community. [1]
