About this app
In our country there are already approximately half a dozen Hindi translations of the Bible. All translations aim to tell people the truth. All translations are beneficial in some way.
The Hindi language is constantly changing. God’s message needs to be given in the Hindi that people use today. This is the objective of this translation.
These days the Hindi language includes English and Urdu words. For example, the Urdu word ‘आज़ादी’ (aazaadi) is more meaningful than the Hindi word ‘स्वतंत्रता’ (swatantrata) (meaning ‘freedom’). The Urdu word is also easier to say than the Hindi word.
Nowadays there are some words that are not used in Hindi, for example, 'दाखलता’ (daakhlata), meaning 'vine' (see John 15). Everyone knows the Hindi word ‘angur’ (meaning grape) but some do not know the meaning of the Hindi word ‘daakh’ for grape. Similarly there are other Hindi words that are no longer commonly used today. Our goal is that people get the chance to read easily understood Hindi.
Some essential changes:
In English the word dove (फ़ाख्ता) (fakhta) is used for when the Holy Spirit descended upon Jesus. In all other Hindi Bibles the word used is 'कबूतर' (kabutar), meaning pigeon. There is a significant difference in both birds and their habits. It is often said that the Hindi words 'तू' (tu) and 'तेरा' (tera) (meaning a very personal form of 'you' and 'your', respectively, as used for a child), etc. show closeness of relationship. The fact is that in some parts of India when we are angry we use these words also. The intent is to insult the other person. We live among people of many faiths in India. People of other faiths often do not use these words when referring to God. We are keeping in touch with those who preach the gospel, pastors, bible scholars and teachers so it becomes 'the Bible for all' (sab ki Baibal).
Difficult Hindi words have been replaced by easy Hindi or Urdu words that are used in everyday life.
We do not claim that it is the best Bible and without mistakes. We therefore welcome comments and criticism for it to be a Bible in the hands of the people.
