Guerrero Nahuatl New Testament (NGUWBT)

Overview

The NGUWBT is a New Testament translation in Guerrero Nahuatl, first published in 1987 by Sociedades Bíblicas Unidas (United Bible Societies) under the copyright of Wycliffe Bible Translators, Inc. [1][2]. It carries the vernacular title In yencuic iyectlajtoltzin Dios itech ica toTeco Jesucristo and is distributed on YouVersion alongside a parallel Spanish-titled edition, El Nuevo Testamento. Guerrero Nahuatl (also known as Náhuatl de Guerrero Central or Xalitla Nahuatl) is a vigorous Nahuan language spoken in western central Mexico, primarily in the state of Guerrero. The translation was produced through the collaborative work of SIL International linguists and local Nahuatl-speaking communities. Later editions were issued in 2009 by Liga Bíblica Internacional and in 2016 by Wycliffe Bible Translators [1]. The text is available in both print and digital formats, with audio recordings accessible through Faith Comes By Hearing and the Wycliffe Bible app [3].
