TRANSLATIONS

For over a hundred years, the Bible has been translated into Malagasy official language, and many of the people had the opportunity to avail themselves of the Word. A long-time though it may be, many areas in the island do not have this privilege, many tribes and people group do not have the Bible in their own language, many of those from the deep countrysides, bushes and rainforests have the plight of not understanding the language into which the Bible has been translated, or simply have no access to it.

For this very reason, Madagascar Mission found it crucial to find a way to reach those people and had fixed the vision to spread the Bible throughout and for whole Madagascar, which includes all the eighteen tribes and dialects, eighteen languages in whole.

Man plans, God provides. Indeed, He provided for all that was needed for this project, including people and partners; the Wycliffe Associates collaborated joyfully with Madagascar Mission through the M.A.S.T Project in order to open the line for this translation.

In order for this to happen, we had go through some steps so that we might be able to proceed with the intended goal. The first and pivotal step was the translation of the Gateway Language, the Plateau Malagasy, through which the dialects can be translated later on. The translation was from English open Bible translation to Plateau Malagasy, following many steps and levels. About 25 young translators actively contributed in bringing their part for the work of God.

After a two-year tremendous work, the translation of the source text, the notes, vocabularies and questions concerning the Bible was finally achieved at the end of September 2019 thanks to those young devoted people who committed themselves in prayer, hard work and joy.

SOLAR AUDIO BIBLE

This new solar-powered Bible fits in the palm of your hand and speaks the Bible, in a real human voice for Comoros and Malagasy rainforest language. It’s perfect for strict areas and remote Rainforest villages. You can jump from book to book or chapter to chapter with a press of a button. It recharges by the sun and it plays for 10 hours when it is fully charged.

We envision a Biblical Based church in every one of the 15,000 villages in the rain forest of Madagascar. With Bibles and training, we help our brothers and sisters to reach the remaining lost people of this nation including those who are illiterate.

35% of all Malagasy cannot read or write. In the villages of the rain forest areas, this percentage is even higher. Often they neither have radio nor TV sets there nor do smartphones exist.

In the villages, there are many that cannot read, but they are interested in the Gospel and those who are already following Christ also want to share the Good News with others.

Therefore we give small-groups and families with adults who cannot read, a solar-powered Audio-Bible-player.

With one digital player often more than 30 people can be reached with the Gospel. Please help with your donation so that more illiterate people in Madagascar will get access to the Word of God.
