"God wen get so plenny love an aloha fo da peopo inside da world, dat he wen send me, his one an ony Boy, so dat everybody dat trus me no get cut off from God, but get da real kine life dat stay to da max foeva."
OKAY - - - so normally I am strictly KJV and, before you ask, the answer is "No, I don't want to debate." Ask me why on the side one day and I'll be happy to elaborate.
I do however enjoy reading or hearing a good story about missionaries who have devoted years of their lives working on a true and literal translation for peoples of other languages. My own Pastor was a missionary for almost 30 years to various tribes in the Highlands of Papua-New Guinea. It took him and two others over six years of diligent prayer, study and late nights to translate Psalms, Proverbs and the New Testament into the Pidgin English that is spoken as a common trade language throughout the islands. How do you explain ETERNITY to a people who have no written history and live an average lifespan of 35-40 years ("long time long time") or the phrase "white as snow" when you live 3 degrees off the Equator?
Anyways, just thought I would just post the following for your reading enjoyment and provide a link to the Hawaiian Pidgin Bible that I found online a while back. Hope you enjoy. I particularly enjoyed reading the story of Jonah and the Whale from the perspective of an island people.
PSALM 23
Da Boss Above, he take care me,
Jalike da sheep farma take care his sheeps.
He goin give me everyting I need.He let me lie down wea da sweet an soft grass stay.
He lead me by da water wea I can rest.He give me new kine life.
He lead me in da road dat stay right,
Cuz I his guy.
I was recently forwarded a link to a very interesting video trailer through a "friend of a friend" whose church sponsors the Papua-New Guinea missionary family that is featured in the upcoming documentary titled "TWO HATS ~ That I Might by All Means Save Some"
The filmmaker, Andrew Garcia, has just returned from PNG in the past month and is currently editing footage for a full length documentary. You can see other clips and sign up for alerts to follow the progress of the movie at www.pngdocumentary.com.
