Description of Simple Bible - Malagasy (BBE)

The Bible-smith project aims to make the Good News accessible to everyone. This project encompasses various Bible-related applications and information to enhance evangelism efforts.

Contents

This application includes two significant translations of the Bible:

1. The Holy Bible in Malagasy: Translated by the British missionaries David Jones and David Griffiths of the London Missionary Society since 1835.
2. The Holy Bible in Basic English (BBE): Published by Cambridge University, translated by Prof. S. H. Hooke of the University of London. The BBE uses only 1,000 words and has been available since 1949.

Educational Value

This application is not just a tool for reading but also a means to deepen your faith. As stated in 2 Timothy 3:15, "You have been taught the holy Scriptures from childhood, and they have given you the wisdom to receive the salvation that comes by trusting in Christ Jesus."

Community Involvement

We encourage you to join the Bible-smith project by praying and contributing to the development of new language versions. If you have the need and resources, please share the Bible text in any language using the VPL (Verse Per Line) format. We will create a free Android app for that language.
