Hi pfpeller

I don't have a Latvian Bible, but I can build one for you if you can provide the text in HTML, Word, txt or whatever format.

Regards,

Carlos

Carlos,
There is an html Latvian New Testament at http://www.htmlbible.com/#Latvian.
Both OT and NT can be found at http://www.bibelesbi...le/default.htm.
We would greatly appreciate if you could build a Latvian Bible for e-sword since we are missionaries in Latvia and we recommend e-sword often.
Thank you!
Brenten

Hi Brenten

I will give it a try today and get back to you.

Hi Brenten

I have finished building your Latvian Bible, and it seems it works fine in e-Sword 10.

Please, tell me what do you think the title, abbreviation and description should be. I think the title could be something like:
Latviešu Bībeles 1965 / Latvian Bible 1965

The comments should include the complete title, date, publisher, copyright, web source and any other useful information. And we need to choose an abbreviation like "Latvian" or "LB1965" or whatever is best.

On the other hand, it's important to know the copyright status of this translation. Please, could you contact the publisher and ask for permission to distribute it or at least for your personal use? The publisher is the Latvian Bible Society, and their email is lbb@apollo.lv

Regards,

Carlos

Hi

To anyone interested in the Latvian Bible module, I need the help of someone who has a printed edition of this bible.

Verse numbers in this version differ in many passages from the e-Sword standard, so I've had to fix those, leaving the original numbering colored gray and between parentheses. I have doubts, however, in three passages:

- One verse is missing at the end of Exodus 1. Verse 21 actually is verse 22 in the KJV, and verse 21 is missing ("And it came to pass, because the midwives feared God, that he made them houses.")

- Acts 24:7 and 28:29 are missing too. Those verses are thought by many to be spurious, and they are omitted in most modern versions, but usually that's marked somehow (usually with -- or a footnote, or something like that) to show the omission is intentional. In the HTML text of this Bible those verses are simply missing. Can you have a look at the printed edition and see what do they look like?

Thanks!

I am interested to help with Latvian Bible module. I have printed version. This is what we have in Latvian:
Exodus1:20 Tā Dievs vecmātēm darīja labu, un tauta vairojās un tapa ļoti varena.
(missing) Exodus1:21 Un tādēļ, ka vecmātes bijās Dieva, Viņš tām darīja namus.
Exodus1:22 Tad faraons pavēlēja visai savai tautai: "Visus zēnus, kas piedzimst, iemetiet upē, bet meitenes atstājiet dzīvas."

Acts 24:6 Kas mēģināja apgānīt arī svētnīcu. Mēs viņu notvērām un gribējām tiesāt pēc mūsu likuma.
Acts 24:7 Bet priekšnieks Lizijs atnāca ar lielu pārspēku un, izrāvis to no mūsu rokām,
Acts 24:8 Pavēlēja, lai apsūdzētāji nāk pie tevis. Tu pats, viņu nopratinājis, varēsi uzzināt visu to, par ko mēs viņu apsūdzam.
Acts 28:29 Kad viņš to pateica, jūdi, savā starpā stipri strīdēdamies, aizgāja no viņa.
Acts 28:30 Bet viņš palika savā īrētajā dzīvoklī veselus divus gadus un pieņēma visus, kas pie viņa nāca.

Verses from book of Acts are missing also in the print version of that translation!
For book of Acts I simply get missing verses using Eloquent on my Mac and having installed Latvian New Testament from Crosswire. That is an older translation. Link to Latvian New Testament: http://www.crosswire...modName=Latvian

For Old Testament I took the verses from my printed version. link here to scanned picture
