Karamojong 1996 Edition (KDJBSU)

Overview

The Karamojong 1996 Edition is a New Testament translation in the Ngakarimojong language, published by the Bible Society of Uganda. Translation work on the Ngakarimojong Bible began in 1986 as an interconfessional effort involving multiple Christian denominations. [1] The New Testament was published in 1996, and a complete Bible (known as EBAIBUL) was later launched in 2011 at a ceremony in Kotido District, attended by the Archbishop of the Church of Uganda and other church leaders. [1][2]

Language and People

Karamojong (ISO 639-3: kdj), also called Ngakarimojong, is an Eastern Nilotic language spoken by approximately 691,000 people in the Karamoja subregion of northeastern Uganda, including the districts of Kaabong, Kotido, Moroto, Napak, Amudat, Abim, and Nakapiripirit. [3][4] The Karamojong are agro-pastoral herders whose main livelihood is herding livestock; crop cultivation is secondary due to the arid climate, and they practice seasonal transhumance, moving livestock to neighboring areas for water and pasture. [3] According to tradition, the Karamojong Cluster peoples migrated from Abyssinia between the 1600s and 1700s, eventually settling in southern Karamoja and dividing into three clans: the Matheniko in the east around Moroto mountain, the Pian in the south, and the Bokora in the west.
