Silk Road Ascent (SRA): Bible translation in a sensitive area (Do not forward or post it anywhere online)

T project-2: The greatest need for the T community of 100,000 speakers remains lack of access to Scripture. The mother-tongue translator James* and project supervisor Alex* are translating a basic set of biographies of Bible characters. Praise God, a first draft has been completed of the Scripture texts regarding Abraham’s life. But this is only the beginning of the process! Please pray that the team will persevere through all the checking and revision steps that remain and that their work will be clear and accurate. Pray that the hearts of these men will be drawn toward God as they work on His Word. *Pseudonyms

실크 로드 프로젝트: 성경번역, 보안지역 (수신자 이외에 배포하거나 온라인상에 게시하지 말아주세요)

T 프로젝트-2: 10만명의 언어부족으로 구성된 T 공동체의 가장 큰 필요는 여전히 말씀에 대한 접근성의 부족입니다. 모어 번역가인 제임스*와 프로젝트 책임자인 알렉스*가 성경 등장인물들의 기본적인 전기를 번역 중입니다. 감사하게도, 아브라함의 생애에 관한 본문의 초고를 완성했습니다. 하지만 이것은 과정의 시작에 불과합니다! 남은 모든 점검과 개정 단계를 끈기 있게 잘 견디어 낼 수 있도록, 작업이 명확하고 명료하도록, 그리고 사역중인 하나님의 말씀으로 이 사람들의 중심이 하나님께로 온전히 나아갈 수 있도록 기도해주세요. *가명

God’s Word brings reconciliation: Mozambique
The Makhuwa Cluster is an oral Bible translation project for four distinct variants of Makhuwa, the language with the largest number of speakers in Mozambique. Recorded Makhuwa Scripture stories have greatly influenced local communities. In one town members of another major religion listen to the recordings with interest. One of the elders of that religion confessed to clashes with Christians simply because he had no access to the Bible to read and see how beautiful the birth of Jesus was. He said: “I regret having offended my Christian brothers and sisters out of prejudices. I was not aware how rich the gospel was until I listened to these recordings. I have realized that we are all brothers and sisters in front of God. In fact, I understand the Bible more than I understand the writings of my religion, written in another language, which I do not grasp at all.” Please pray for all Makhuwa to have the chance to hear God’s Word in their language. Pray for the translators in the Makhuwa Cluster, the translation consultant and church leaders. Pray for an end to the ongoing violence in Mozambique. May there be true reconciliation and friendship in the Makhuwa communities.

화해를 이끌어낸 하나님의 말씀: 모잠비크

마쿠와 언어군은 모잠비크에서 가장 많은 수의 화자를 가진 마쿠와어의 4 가지 방언들을 위한 구전 성경 번역 프로젝트입니다. 녹음된 마쿠와 이야기 성경은 지역 사회에 큰 영향을 미쳤는데, 다른 한 주요 종교를 믿는 한 마을에서 관심을 가지고 이 녹음을 들었고 그 종교의 장로 중 한 분이 단순히 예수님의 탄생이 얼마나 아름다운지 읽고 볼 수있는 성경을 접할 기회가 없었던 이유로 기독교인들과 대립했다고 고백했습니다. “나는 편견으로 인해 그리스도인 형제 자매들의 기분을 상하게 한 것을 후회합니다. 이 녹음을 듣기 전까지는 복음이 얼마나 풍성한지 몰랐고, 이제 우리 모두가 하나님 앞에서 형제 자매라는 것을 깨달았습니다. 사실 내가 잘 이해하지 못하는 다른 언어(아랍어)로 쓰여진 내 종교의 글들을 이해하는 것보다 이제 성경을 더 잘 이해합니다.”라고 고백했습니다. 모든 마쿠와 사람들이 자기네 모어로 하나님의 말씀을 들 을 수 있는 기회를 갖게 되도록, 현지인 번역가들, 번역 자문 위원, 교회 지도자들을 위해, 모잠비크에서 계속되는 폭력이 종식되도록, 마쿠와 공동체들간에 진정한 화해와 우정이 있도록 손모아주세요.

The body of Christ in one accord: Italy
Recently Marco, the director of AITB (Associazione Italiana Traduttori della Bibbia), and his wife and youngest son were diagnosed with the coronavirus. Marco was hospitalized with a serious case of COVID-19. As soon as word got out of the seriousness of the situation, various communities surrounded Marco and his family by upholding them in prayer. The AITB Board, the Europe Area Alliance organizations, prayer teams and believers in Jesus from around the world joined as one in heart and mind to earnestly intercede for Marco and his family. Praise God Marco is back home now and slowly regaining his strength. Pray for God’s shalom over Marco and his family. Ask God for his full recovery, and that he will be able to continue his vital role in a Bible translation project which is very near completion.

최근 AITB (이탈리아 성경번역가 협회)의 책임자인 마르코와 그의 아내, 막내 아들이 코로나 바이러스 감염 진단을 받았습니다. 마르코는 위중한 확진자로 병원에 입원했습니다. 상황의 심각성이 알려지자 여러 공동체가 마르코와 그의 가족들을 위한 중보 기도로 이들을 애워쌌습니다. AITB 이사회와 유럽 지역 국제연대, 여러 기도팀들과  전 세계 성도들이 한 마음으로 마르코와 그 가족을 위해 열심으로 중보했습니다. 이제 퇴원해서 회복중인 마르코를 인하여 하나님을 찬송합니다. 마르코와 그의 가족을 향한 하나님의 평강을 위해, 마르코가 속히 완쾌되어 이제 거의 완역 단계에 와 있는 성경 번역 프로젝트에서 그의 중요한 역할을 계속 감당할 수 있도록 기도해주세요.
