Pꞌop Hagä Do Panyyg Hanäm Do Hahỹỹh (MJPWBT)

Overview

The Pꞌop Hagä Do Panyyg Hanäm Do Hahỹỹh is a New Testament translation in the Nadëb language (ISO 639-3: mbj), a Nadahup (Makú) family language spoken by an indigenous people living between the Negro and Japurá rivers in Amazonas state, Brazil. [1] The Nadëb are a small, semi-nomadic group who have historically maintained exchange relationships with neighboring riverine Tukano and Arawak peoples. [1] SIL workers established literacy programs among the Nadëb community, where in 1998 most speakers were monolingual; literacy classes led to the training of eight adult teachers who went on to work in bilingual schools in their villages. [2] The translation was produced by Wycliffe Bible Translators.
