The Carib New Testament (2010) is a translation of the New Testament into Galibi Carib (Kari’na), published by the Suriname Bible Society. ^[1] Kari’na is a Cariban language spoken across Suriname, French Guiana, Guyana, Venezuela, and Brazil by the Kalina (Carib) people, one of the indigenous groups whose name was given to the Caribbean region. ^[2] Scripture translation work in Kari’na in Suriname spanned approximately 35 years (1968–2003), with SIL International researchers arriving in Suriname in 1968 to conduct language research, develop literacy materials, and support translation efforts. ^[3] The New Testament is titled “Asery Tamusi Karetary.” ^[1] Suriname has a long history of Bible translation dating to the mid-eighteenth century, when Moravian missionaries began learning local languages and producing Scripture translations. ^[3]
