YELLOWKNIFE — The Canadian Bible Society has just published a new translation of the New Testament in the Dogrib language, says the journal FaithToday.

Dogrib is spoken by 3,000 people near Yellowknife. Translation partners included Wycliffe Bible Translators and the Dogrib community.

Another new Bible Society co-production, a Plautdietsch Bible, should become available this year. Plautdietsch, also known as Low German, is spoken by 300,000 people of Russian Mennonite extraction scattered across Russia, Germany, and North, Central and South America. The United Bible Societies and Kindred Productions jointly publish this translation. The Canadian Bible Society is handling the production.

Around the world, the complete Bible is available in 405 languages. Portions of the Scriptures are available in 2,303 languages, according to Scripture Language Report 2002, published by the United Bible Societies.
