We eagerly invite the assistance of the church and its oversight with all respect and sincerity! What is the role of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church in this project? If you can help please volunteer, if you know someone who may be able to help please tell them about this web site or send them a link. It could take years it all depends on the level of support and assistance we receive. We will only consider hiring persons in the future if we are absolutely unable to find unpaid volunteers. We would like to find the most qualified and expert translators possible who are willing to help! If you wish to be paid however as of yet we do not have funds for that, at present we are looking for unpaid volunteers.
All that is required to participate in this project is knowledge of the languages of Ge’ez or Amharic and English ideally with great fluency. We are Bible scholars and Bible students who wish to have a complete copy of ALL the books of the EOTC Bible in English enabling us to read and study them. Additionally some of the books have already been translated into English it is therefore a logical choice since it has already been started. Many Ethiopians born in the US, Europe or abroad cannot read Ge’ez or Amharic fluently, additionally English is one of the largest spoken and written languages in the world translating the entire EOTC Bible into English will be a major step in making it accessible to the world! Of course we are willing to see the books translated into other languages however our goal is to complete the translation into English first. We will address some frequently asked questions below in order to save time answering these same questions by e-mail: Our progress depends entirely upon the level of assistance and support that we receive.Įthiopian Orthodox Bible Project Committee If you are in a position to volunteer your time and assistance and you meet the above criteria please contact us using the form on this site. Given the monumental nature of this undertaking it may take many years, we therefore hope to release portions of the project incrementally. We will assign books or portions of books to different individuals or accept translations of different books or portions by individuals who working in coordination will facilitate the completion of the entire project as quickly as possible. The Translator may also choose to remain anonymous
ETHIOPIAN ORTHODOX CHURCH BIBLE IN AMHARIC MYSTERY BOOKS FULL
Full credit will be given and the individuals name and title and portion of Scripture translated will be included with the translations along with a dedication if they wish. We welcome priests, monks and scholars to contact us and volunteer their time and assistance. We are currently looking for individuals who can read Ge’ez and Amharic fluently as well as English. Ideally we would prefer to translate the remaining as of yet untranslated books of the Bible from the oldest Ge’ez copies however we are also willing to translate from the somewhat later Amharic texts as well. The Dead Sea Scrolls are the oldest surviving scrolls of the Bible! The EOTC has 45 million members making it one of the largest churches in the entire world, thus a great number of people follow its Bible Canon. Among the Dead Sea Scrolls partial copies of Enoch along with Jubilees, Tobit and Sirach which are also in the EOTC canon were found. Enoch is also quoted approvingly by the early Church Fathers who recognized the Book of Enoch as canonical. The book of Enoch is quoted in Jude and is also alluded to several times in the New Testament accepted by all Christian churches. Enoch and Jubilees are well known among serious bible scholars. Although unknown to most of the world, the Bible of the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church contains books that are not to be found in any other Bible canon (with the exception of the Eritrean Orthodox Church which itself split off from the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Church and with the exception in the case of some of the books of the EOTC Old Testament accepted by Ethiopian Jews known as Beta Israel who preserve an ancient pre-rabbinic form of Judaism.)Īlready some of these books have been translated into English. We are dedicated to making the COMPLETE Ethiopian Orthodox Bible available in the English language. T his is the official web site of the Ethiopian Orthodox Bible Project
