Bible translation work was pioneered among the Abagusii by the Seventh-Day Adventist Mission. From the early 1920s, E. A. Beavon and Ruth Rait (both SDAM missionaries), with the assistance of Mr. Paulo Nyamweya managed to have the Gospel of Matthew published in 1929 by British and Foreign Bible Societies (BFBS). Another SDAM missionary Mr. G. A. Lewis, also helped by Mr. Paulo Nyamweya and a ;ocal committee, went ahead and managed to translate the entire New Testament. The Gospel of John was publisheed by BFBS in 1945 and the New Testament in 1948. The present Ekegusii Bible is the product of the cooperation of many of the churches active in the Gusii area - including the Swedish Luteran, Pentecostal Assemblies of God, Church of God, and SDA. Translation of this Bible began in 1957 and launched in 1988.  

 

Work on a Revised Bible EBIBLIA ENCHENU began in November 2017, and this has two editions, the Catholic edition including the Deuterocanonical books, and the protestant version excluding the books of the apocrypha. The translation of the Bible was done in partnership with the Church in Kisii and Nyamira Counties who were vastly involved in the translation process. The reviewers and Management committee team were drawn from the Church in the Gusii community. The Bible Society of Kenya launched the Revised Ekegusii Bible on 8th October 2021 at Kisii School in Kisii County. The Bible is written in the Ekegusii language and is specially dedicated to the Gusii language speakers who reside in Kisii and Nyamira Counties in Kenya.

It does download though, so let's not worry about it OK?

Sorry it appears that it was disapproved and I did not notice, so that is why the link does not work. I am not sure why the download post is still there.
