Toki Pona Bible Project
The Toki Pona Bible Project (lipu sewi pi toki pona) is an effort to translate the Bible into Toki Pona, covering the Old and New Testaments, as well as apocrypha. The translation is released under the CC0 public domain dedication.[1]
The project was started on 13 November 2022 by jan Kupa (@jkonsi on Discord). As of February 3, 2024, 874 out of 38 450 verses (2.3%) have been translated.[2]
lipu kalama Sona Sewi is a podcast featuring dramatic readings of the works. The first episode was released on September 23, 2023 for the Book of Jonah, the first fully translated book.[3]
Methodology
Members of the translation team are divided into roles: translator, proofreaders, and biblical language specialist.[4] The translation method starts when a translator submits an initial draft, these may be based of any existing translation of the Bible. Proofreaders and a biblical language specialist check the translations against the Hebrew and Koiné Greek versions, then and only then it is placed in the repository.
Proofreaders specifically check the grammar to ensure if it fits understandable Toki Pona, meanwhile language specialists ensure the structure and meaning are as close as can be to the original languages[1].
