Soli New Testament (SBYWFW)

Overview

The Soli New Testament was published in 2018 by The Word for the World International for the Soli people of central Zambia, with the translation project beginning in 1999. ^[1][2] The translation team has since turned to Old Testament books, beginning with Genesis, Ruth, Proverbs, and Jonah, publishing each book separately so the community does not have to wait for the full Old Testament. ^[1]
