“For the LORD gives wisdom; from his mouth come knowledge and understanding”
Proverbs 2:6
Proverbs 2:6
We are planning to translate for a particular people group, and yet if there is a more linguistically strategic language group we could translate for, we are open to translating for that one.*
- Please pray that all the “facts” of various languages would be available to us so that we could make a good decision.
- Pray that we would be able to find language groups that are similar enough that we could even do multiple translations.
- Pray that the Lord would lead us to a people group that is incredibly motivated to join us in the work of translation.
- Pray that the Lord would give us wisdom as to who to translate for and even where to live among that people group.
*An example of a linguistically strategic language would be one that is understandable to other language groups. If we translated for one such language, we could more easily do an adaptation of our original Bible translation to serve other similar dialects. This would be an ideal scenario because, in the end, more people groups would have access to the Bible.
