Jehovah’s Witnesses in 2020 released the New World Translation (Bible) in the American Sign Language and 32 other languages.

The group said it is the most in any year since the first translation was released in 1950 and as of December 31, 2020, the New World Translation has been published in 195 languages.

Geoffrey Jackson, a member of the governing body of Jehovah’s Witnesses while speaking at the Witnesses’ release event in Florida, United States, explained that one of the many milestones in their 2020 translation work was reached on February 15, when they completed the Bible in the American Sign Language.


He said as far as the Witnesses know, the organisation is the first or group of persons to release the complete Bible in ASL and that it probably means it is the first complete Bible in sign language in the world and in the history of mankind.

“As far as we know, Jehovah’s Witnesses are the first organization or group of persons to release the complete Bible in ASL. And probably that means it’s the first complete Bible in sign language in the world (and) in the history of mankind,” Jackson said.

As of today, The New World Translation is available in whole or in part in nine Nigerian languages with plans in the pipeline to translate it into 36 additional languages in 2021.

“There is also an ongoing effort to distribute these Bibles free of charge in Nigeria,” the organisation said.

‌
Besides hard copies, the jw.org website and the JW Library App make their digital publications available without charge or advertisements in all the languages available.


A primary aim of their translation, according to the group, has been the restoration of the name of God—Jehovah—to the more than 7,000 places in the Bible where other translators have substituted it with titles such as “Lord.”

The translation work is carried out by teams of volunteer translators who work in the areas where the target languages are spoken.

The translation, publishing, and printing work of the Witnesses are all supported by voluntary donations. This allows the Witnesses to make the New World Translation available worldwide free of charge.

This people are too knowledgeable.

Na dem sabi.

MaxinDhouse will still come here to say that JW are the only true Christians while we are fake. May God deliver Jehovah Witnesses from the spirit of doctrines and open their eyes to see that we are all brethren in the body of Christ.

You and your fellow Churchgoers can call one another brethren because that's what you are but just count JWs out, our own God is different from your God. Just as our Jesus (archangel Michael) is different from your TRINITY.
So go worship with your type while we worship with only those who are prepared to learn from us!

Okay. If you like you can worship angels, that's your business.

So you are not one of our brethren if you don't believe what we believe!
