A group of co-workers have started work on an improved Xhosa Translation approximately 12 years ago. The first edition of this translation has subsequently been completed. It is known as “Izibhalo” and is also available at Elim Ministries. The vision with this (ongoing) project is to work towards a Xhosa translation with the names and titles of the Almighty and his Son rendered as correctly as possible, and also with various mistranslations being corrected and the results of recent textual studies (of all the original source documents and manuscripts) being applied. This bundle promises to be a huge injection of knowledge and encouragement for the fast increasing number of Xhosa-speaking believers in South Africa. Please contact us or visit our Online Shop to order your copies of Izibhalo! To learn more about the launch in 2014 or look at some of the photos taken that day, just click here. To contribute towards this ongoing project, please refer to the banking details on this page.
