Bible Portions in Apal (ENAPBT)

Overview

The Bible Portions in Apal (also called Apali or Emerum) contain the New Testament and Genesis, published in 2014 by Pioneer Bible Translators. Apal is a Trans-New Guinea language of the Sogeram (Madang) family, spoken in the Usino-Bundi District of Madang Province. The translation work among the Apal people was led by Martha Wade, who began serving with Pioneer Bible Translators among the Apal community in 1985, working with mother-tongue translators to produce Scripture and literacy materials in the Apal language. [1] The completed Apal Scriptures were presented to the Museum of the Bible by PBT president Greg Pruett. [2] The Apal people live in small villages in the tropical rainforest of Papua New Guinea's Madang Province. The translation is also distributed in audio form by Faith Comes By Hearing.
