Some few facts on the Bible first:

  • The Bible – 31101 verses
  • Old Testament – 23145 verses
  • New Testament – 7956 verses
  • TheĀ Bible Society of Kenya has the following translation ongoing projects:

    -Kikamba (New)
    -Oluluyia (Central)
    -Lukakamega/ Lutirichi
    -Kiembu-Kimbeere
    -Kalenjin Revision

    It costs about Ksh 480 (about US$ 6.4) to translate each Bible verse. This means that to complete a translation in a particular language, it costs roughly Ksh 15 Million (about $20000) and takes about 15 years.

    One of the ways that one can support Bible translation efforts is by adopting a language for translation:

    200 verses – KSh 96000
    100 verses – KSh 48000
    50 verses – KSh 24000
    25 verses – KSh 12000

    More information is available from the Bible Society of Kenya’s website.
