New World Translation (2013 revision) in additional languages

[ArthurW]

I just discovered today that three new languages have the revised NW: Korean, Estonian, and Ukrainian. The PDFs are downloadable on jw.org. It's absolutely awesome that our brothers in Estonia and Ukraine, who only had the Greek Scriptures available in their language, now have the full Bible in this accurate translation. Huge blessing from Jehovah!

Can wait for Portuguese...

Can wait for Portuguese...

You can or you can't?

Interestingly I've been following the meating with the english version and in most of the cases our portuguese translation already follows closely the new translation... But not all. And there's the new features of the bible. I can wait for our new bible but at the same time I'm eager to have it ;) don't expect it in less than 2 years though...

​You might be pleasantly surprised (Hopefully). I understand there is a big push to get more translations out this coming year.

[MM9106]

Can't wait for the Spanish revision. I'm hoping it'll be soon.

João you're right! "Can't"...

i am following the same as you... I am using the english version at meetings and conventios. but it would be so good to use it also in ministry and during parts at meetings...

 

So i really hope to see the portuguese version yet this year or at last in next convention...

Great news then, Chuck

There is a rumor here in Brazil that the new version of the NWT in Portuguese will be available at the meeting with the representative from headquarters early next year .... just a rumor...

 

My friends at Bethel told me that the translation team is working harder than ever!

Our Indonesian new Bethel will be dedicated February next year. There will be a special meeting a day after the dedication. Is there any possibility to receive Indonesian NWT at that time?   

 

Though I prefer to read in Chinese Mandarin

Just got my new English copy since I'm visiting the US, it's so easy to read! Finally!

[On the huh]

Before the English revised edition was released, no one could get hold of a new bible because they stop production of it.  I would assume this would be case with other languages - they will stop printing the old one so stocks will run out and start with the new revised edition.  Can you literature servant get hold of new stock of bibles easily?  If not, it might be a clue.

Here in Brazil we are not getting Bibles in any format (large edition, small, deluxe edition, etc.). These items appear as pending for quite a long time. This is a great sign! 

[JJMS]

its the same here...

 

We are more than 5 Mounths without getting Bibles...

Another clue.  The booklets "Introduction to God's Word" and "A Study Guide to God's Word", which form part of the revised NWT(the bits at the beginning and end) have been released in many langauges (70+), including French, German, Polish, Spanish, Russian - but not it appears in Portuguese.  Why not?

Wow! Didn't notice that... Thanks for letting know ;)

Exactly! I was hoping these booklets in our Convention. When these were not announced I came to that same conclusion. But I had forgotten this detail. Thanks for reminding about it.

Yeah.... with this in mind, actually, it mat not take that longer as we expect to have the revised NWT in portuguese....

 

But just a question:

The portuguese Translation Department is at Brazil or Portugal?

I'd say Brazil because every publication (except the local km's) are written in portuguese from Brazil

[Snow]

can't wait for mine in DUTCH

[rizuzu]

I visited Bethel in Japan not long ago, and received the revised NWT copy in english - so beautiful, so easy to read! Oh, I hope the finnish one will come out soon!

[On the huh]

I noticed that the Brazil conventions are this month, one this weekend.  Any mention of the revised NWT in Portuguese?

In none of the conventions held in Brazil since June has not mentioned the new edition of the NWT. The convention ends this month. What we heard here in Brazil is that a release will be at the next visit of the representative of the world headquarters, which usually occurs between January and February. But they are just rumors.

Actually it seems that we are going to have two translations in Portuguese. One in Portuguese Brazilian and a second in Portuguese from Portugal.

These are good news since there is a significant diference from both versions of the same language.
