Ezaa 2014 Edition (EZAWBT)
Overview
The Ezaa Bible is a complete Bible translation published in 2014 by Wycliffe Bible Translators in cooperation with the Abakaliki Literacy and Translation Trust, and carries the vernacular title Bayịburu Ẹzaa. The Ezaa (also spelled Ezza) people live in Ebonyi State, southeastern Nigeria, with approximately 700,000 speakers. [1] Ezaa is an Igboid language of the Volta–Niger group, closely related to Ikwo, Izi, and Mgbo. The Ezaa, Izii, and Ikwo people received their New Testaments in 1980, but twenty years of further work, delays, and setbacks followed before the complete Old Testament was finalized and the full Bible could be distributed starting in 2012.
