Kumam Bible (KDIBSU)

Overview

The Kumam Bible is a New Testament translation in the Kumam language, published by the Bible Society of Uganda in 2006. The Bible Society of Uganda, established in 1968, has translated the Bible into 21 of Uganda’s 43 languages, and the Kumam New Testament is among these efforts. [1][2] A later edition titled “Baibuli I Leb Kumam 2013” expanded the scope to include the full Bible and is available both in print and digitally. [1]

Language and People

Kumam (ISO 639-3: kdi), also known as Akokolemu or Ikumama, is a Southern Lwoo (Western Nilotic) language spoken by approximately 266,000 people in eastern Uganda, primarily in Kaberamaido, Soroti, Serere, and Dokolo districts. [3][4] The Kumam people belong to the Atekerin family alongside the Langi, Iteso, and Karimojong. [3] Linguistically, the Kumam language shares approximately 82% lexical similarity with Acholi and 81% with Lango, reflecting prolonged contact and intermarriage with neighboring Luo-speaking peoples. [4] The language is described as over two-thirds Luo and one-third Ateso in vocabulary, reflecting the Kumam people’s mixed ethnic heritage. [3] [Glottolog: kuma1275]
