Uzbek New Testament, Genesis, and Psalms (UZBIBT)

Overview

This is the Cyrillic-script edition of the Uzbek New Testament, Genesis, and Psalms, published in 2008 by the Institute for Bible Translation (IBT), Moscow. It is the companion volume to UZBIBL, which presents the same text in Latin script. IBT began work on the Uzbek Bible in the mid-1970s in Sweden, with scholars and Uzbek speakers in Germany, Israel, and the United States contributing to the effort. The first edition of the New Testament, Genesis, and Psalms appeared in 1992. [1] The 2008 revision was carried out primarily within Uzbekistan by mother-tongue Uzbek scholars in partnership with IBT, SIL International, the United Bible Societies, and the Bible Society of Uzbekistan. [1] The Cyrillic edition serves older Uzbek readers who were educated before Uzbekistan’s 1993 transition to the Latin alphabet. [2]

Language and People

Uzbek (ISO 639-3: uzb) is a Turkic language and the official language of Uzbekistan, spoken by approximately 27 million people as a first language. [3] Although Uzbekistan officially adopted the Latin alphabet in 1993, the Cyrillic script remains widely used among older generations and in some official contexts. [2] [Glottolog: uzb]
