A version of the Bible has been translated into Hawaiian Pidgin

Did you know that there is a version of the Bible translated into Hawaiian Pidgin called ‘Da Jesus Book’?

Wycliffe Bible Translators, publicator of the book, is the world’s largest organization involved in translating the Bible into the languages of native people.

The translation is the result of a 12-year effort and Linguistics professor Joseph Grimes worked with 26 Pidgin speakers.

As www.gohawaii.about.com points out, Grimes was a visiting professor at the University of Hawaii at Manoa in 1986 and later moved to the Waianae coast of O’ahu to work on this project after his retirement from Cornell University.
