Noone New Testament (NHUWBT)

Overview

The Noone New Testament, titled Ŋwa' Nyo' Moŋkan mo Monfɛm, is the first New Testament in the Noone (also called Nooni or Noni) language, an Eastern Beboid language spoken by approximately 64,000 people in the Noni Subdivision, Bui Division of Cameroon's North West Region. [1] The translation was led by Dave and Cindy Lux of Wycliffe Bible Translators over a period of more than 20 years, in collaboration with SIL Cameroon and the Cameroon Association for Bible Translation and Literacy (CABTAL). [2] [3] David Lux published the first provisional Nooni-English lexicon in 1993, and the Nooni alphabet was formally adopted by the Nooni Language Committee on July 27, 1992. [1] The New Testament was dedicated in December 2011 in the village of Lassin, attended by a traveling dedication team from the United States along with local church leaders. [2]
