The OBT methodology has already been tested in various places around the world and several potential staff members for future OBT projects had taken part in an international OBT conference in the summer of 2023. The OBT approach makes it possible to start full-fledged work on Bible translation where there is no written language or where mother-tongue literacy has not been widely promulgated. IBT’s fall seminar brought together about 20 potential exegetical advisors from IBT and a partner organization who are considering joining an OBT project to serve various minority peoples of Russia...</em></p> </div> <div class="node-links-container"><ul class="links inline"><li><a href="https://ibtrussia.org/newsletter-01122023" rel="tag" title="newsletter-01122023" hreflang="en">Read more<span class="visually-hidden"> about newsletter-01122023</span></a></li></ul> </div> </div> </article> </div> <div class="views-row"><article data-history-node-id="2170" class="node node-type-news node-view-mode-teaser"> <h2 class="node-title"> <a href="https://ibtrussia.org/news-14102022" rel="bookmark"><span>news-14102022</span> </a> </h2> <div class="node-content"> <div class="field field--name-field-heading field--type-string field--label-hidden field-item"><a href="https://ibtrussia.org/news-14102022" hreflang="en">Webinar on the book of Ecclesiastes</a></div> <div class="field field--name-field-date field--type-datetime field--label-hidden field-item"><time datetime="2022-10-18T12:00:00Z">10/18/2022</time> </div> <div class="node-taxonomy-container field--name-field-image field--type-entity-reference field--label-hidden"> <ul class="taxonomy-terms"> <li> <a href="https://ibtrussia.org/news-14102022" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/media_library/public/Ecclesiastes_0.jpg.webp?itok=zIAZMC_E" width="220" height="167" title="King Solomon by Gustave Doré" class="image-field" /> </a> </li> <li> <a href="https://ibtrussia.org/news-14102022" hreflang="en"><img loading="lazy" src="/sites/default/files/styles/media_library/public/02a.png.webp?itok=56_MFYKb" width="220" height="154" class="image-field" /> </a> </li> </ul> </div> <div class="field field--name-body field--type-text-with-summary field--label-hidden field-item"><p>On October 10-14 IBT conducted a webinar for Bible translation teams from IBT and partner organizations on the Old Testament book of Ecclesiastes. 14 participants from seven Bible translation projects (Avar, Kyrgyz, Tabasaran, Khakass, Tsakhur, Yakut and a North Caucasian project) gathered online for this training event.

The texts of Habakkuk and Malachi make up only a small part of the full Bible, only 7 chapters in all. Let us mentally project ourselves into this webinar. Specifically, you and I are taking part in a discussion focused on an even smaller fragment – a single Biblical verse, Malachi 2:2. We see this text through a Zoom-conference window. The selected verse is not particularly difficult exegetically. But it turns out to be quite complex in terms of different perceptions of the same concepts held by different cultures.</p> <p>Here is Mal 2:2 in the Revised Standard Version: “If you will not listen, if you will not lay it to heart to give glory to my name, says the Lord of hosts, then I will send the curse upon you and I will curse your blessings; indeed I have already cursed them, because you do not lay it to heart.” What is a “blessing”? And a “curse”?
