“All Scripture is God‐breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training in righteousness, so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.” 2 Timothy 3:16‐17 (NIV)
Translating the Bible into our language for our people to understand is one of the most important tasks that needs to be completed. God gave us His Word for all ages. He does not expect every Christian to have a complete understanding of ancient Hebrew and Greek. He does expect all Christians to study God’s Word and seek an understanding of it.
Miya translation project is a project for the community to have the scripture, which is God-breathed to be used by men, so that we may be equipped for every good work.
