METHODOLOGY

This English translation of the Bible seeks to use language features that are common to most Australian Aboriginal languages. This affects the vocabulary, grammar and rhetorical devices. It follows a meaning based translation principle so that it seeks to convey the same meaning as the original authors conveyed to the original readers.

Language features include:

- No passive voice, since most Indigenous Australian languages do not have passive voice.
- Verbs and adjectives instead of most abstract nouns, since abstract nouns are rare in Australian languages.
- Shorter sentences to conform to the grammars of Australian languages.
- Where the original text has implicit information that would not be obvious to the target audience, that information has been made explicit.
- Modified vocabulary, according to what is commonly understood by the target audience.
- Where the original text has used figurative language that could be taken as literal by the target audience the meaning has been stated.

This translation has most of the New Testament and a bit of Genesis, Samuel and Psalms. We hope more is ready soon!
You can listen to Genesis 1-22, Mark, Romans, 1 Corinthians, Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians, 1 & 2 Thessalonians, 1 & 2 Timothy, Titus, Philemon, James, 1 & 2 Peter and Jude.
