The first of several shipments of Tshiluba Bibles arrived just in time for the New Year.

The Tshiluba translation of the Bible has a long history. Parts of the Bible were first published by Presbyterian missionary, William M. Morrison in 1913. By 1920, he had translated and published The New Testament. The complete Bible was published by Presbyterian missionaries in 1927.

John 3:16 in Tshiluba:

Buala bua Nzambi wakatamba kusua be ha buloba, yeye wakabaha Muan’andi umuehele mulela ne, wamuit abuxa, kena ufua, neikale ne muoyo wa cendelele.
