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></div> </div> <ul class="links list-inline"><li class="node-readmore first last"><a href="/en/newsletter-01122023" rel="tag" title="newsletter-01122023">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about newsletter-01122023</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="node-2339" class="node node-newsletter node-teaser clearfix" about="/en/newsletter-02092023" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field-name-field-heading field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/en/newsletter-02092023">“I am not giving that book back to you!” </a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-text field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Autumn 2023 Newsletter on the Uzbek project</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img alt="" class="image-medium mod-insert" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/Uzbek_Bible2.jpg?itok=cItu4SKz" style="float:left; height:220px; margin:5px 10px; width:182px" />The Uzbek Bible translation project is one of those projects where the full Bible, already translated and published (in 2016), is being actively incorporated into the life of local Christian communities and into Uzbek society at large. The Uzbek Bible app for smartphones holds the record for being the most downloaded IBT app for several years in a row. One of the project's translators, let’s call her Esther (she asked us not to use her real name since Uzbekistan is a Muslim country), gladly shared a few stories about her many years of work in the project and plans for the future.</p> <p>“Uzbek Christian believers looked forward greatly to getting the full Bible. The attitude to the Bible varies among traditional Muslims, but the main thing that all of our readers noted, regardless of their religion, was that the translated text is very clear. One Uzbek scholar, who is a university professor and a traditional Muslim, even said, ‘This is one of the best translated books I’ve ever read in Uzbek.’ ...</p> </div></div></div> </div> <ul class="links list-inline"><li class="node-readmore first last"><a href="/en/newsletter-02092023" rel="tag" title="newsletter-02092023">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about newsletter-02092023</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="node-2318" class="node node-newsletter node-teaser clearfix" about="/en/newsletter-05062023" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field-name-field-heading field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/en/newsletter-05062023">“I remove consuming thoughts from your hearts...”</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-text field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Summer 2023 Newsletter on a Caucasian project</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img alt="" class="image-medium mod-insert" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/NLSummer23_1.jpg?itok=cY-lfdYQ" style="float:left; height:146px; margin:5px 10px; width:220px" />“This was our toughest consultant checking session yet!” confessed Vitaly, IBT’s former director and still a consultant for a North Caucasian Scripture translation project which for safety reasons we were asked not to name. Let’s simply call it “the T-language”. Vitaly then shared some of the difficulties in the checking session and how most of them were overcome, leaving behind a sense of joy for a job well done by all the translation team members...<br /> </p> </div></div></div> </div> <ul class="links list-inline"><li class="node-readmore first last"><a href="/en/newsletter-05062023" rel="tag" title="newsletter-05062023">Read more<span class="element-invisible"> about newsletter-05062023</span></a></li> </ul> </div> <div id="node-2343" class="node node-newsletter node-teaser clearfix" about="/en/newsletter-10032023" typeof="sioc:Item foaf:Document"> <div class="content"> <div class="field field-name-field-heading field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even"><a href="/en/newsletter-10032023">“You cannot step twice into the same river, for other waters and yet others go flowing ever on.”</a></div></div></div><div class="field field-name-field-date-text field-type-text field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even">Spring 2023 Newsletter</div></div></div><div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p><img alt="" class="image-medium mod-insert" src="/sites/default/files/styles/medium/public/V_B.jpg?itok=GljbrNyA" style="float:left; height:220px; margin:5px 10px; width:165px" />In December 2022 a new phase began in the life of the Institute for Bible Translation: Dr. Vitaly Voinov, IBT director since 2013, handed over his directorship to his successor, Bron Cleaver. We interviewed them individually and would like to offer you an insight into this change in the life of IBT.</p> <p><strong><em>Vitaly, was it a valuable life experience for you to be the director of IBT? What was most important?</em></strong></p> <p>Infinitely valuable! This gave me the opportunity to participate not just in one or two translation projects, but in almost fifty different projects at the same time. I got to know a lot of very talented people dedicated to their language and was able to contribute to maintaining and promoting their work.
