First Nations Version

An Indigenous Translation of the New Testament

De: Terry Wildman

Narrado por: Kyla García, Kaipo Schwab, Terry Wildman

A New Testament in English by Native North Americans for Native North Americans and All English-Speaking Peoples

Many First Nations tribes communicate with the cultural and linguistic thought patterns found in their original tongues. The First Nations Version (FNV) recounts the Creator's Story—the Christian Scriptures—following the tradition of Native storytellers' oral cultures. This way of speaking, with its simple yet profound beauty and rich cultural idioms, still resonates in the hearts of First Nations people.

The FNV is a dynamic equivalence translation of the New Testament that captures the simplicity, clarity, and beauty of Native storytellers in English, while remaining faithful to the original language of the Bible. The culmination of a rigorous five-year translation process, this new Bible translation is a collaboration between organizations like OneBook and Wycliffe Associates, Indigenous North Americans from over twenty-five different tribes, and a translation council that consisted of twelve Native North American elders, pastors, young adults, and men and women from different tribes and diverse geographic locations. Whether you are Native or not, you will experience the Scriptures in a fresh and new way.

Beautiful!

I own a hard copy of this Bible and was so happy to see it here. The author helps me see the scripture through new eyes. He has beautifully translated the New Testament in such a way that I feel like I am there. I have bought this version for several of my loved ones who also find it inspiring.

Love it!

Jesus is so Good to us to give us another beautiful translation of His Beloved Word. Please try it, you will not regret this Bible Translation!

God Bless You and Jesus Loves You!

Story of Creator Sets Free

Amazing translation of the New Testament. just finished and it was both familiar and fresh. The translation uses descriptions instead of names (e.g. Jesus is "Creator Sets Free") which brings the rest to life. also thinking about the Jewish people as a tribe was also was fresh.

I highly recommend to anyone who appreciated Eugene Peterson's The Message or wants a fresh perspective on the New Testament.

I loved the story telling perspective news of this New Testament reading.

As a mixed blood, I've been on this spiritual route. I loved this reading as I was able to take in information in a different view that makes a lot more sense to me. Hallelujah, Praise YAH!

Miigwech!

Beautifully written and read

A beautiful written translation! I greatly appreciate all the work that went into writing this First Nations translation and the work completed by its narrators as well. Each of the narrators is phenomenal in his or her reading. And I loved that there were multiple narrators. I also have the printed book and the ebook. I find I get a lot from each one of these formats. Although I am not Native American, I found that this made the Bible accessible to me. There were times when I would listen and read to a different translation and just couldn't quite grasp it and then I would listen to this one and it just made my understanding so much easier -- largely because of the beautiful and understandable metaphors and imagery. I just completed this audiobook and feel like my understanding the New Testament while just beginning was greatly assisted by studying this version. This has been my first study of the New Testament, and although I listened to other audio versions I have to say that this audio version was the one that was not only the most accessible but also most captured my attention. I plan to return again to specific books when it's time to listen to them again and I thank you for this resource, from the bottom of my heart.
