[MM9106]

It was released at the IC in Miami as well. They waited for the convention in Taiwan first. I’m hoping Spanish is announced in 2 weeks in Madrid

  How do you know it? Where can I see them? Why only 8 books?

If you update your JWLibrary you can see the new one

 

And why only 8? Because they will release the Bible books gradually

OK, thank you, but still cannot find them. So you are saying that the organisation has started releasing the revised Arabic NWT? I have been using the first Arabic NWT and I thought it needed an update to reflect the changes in the English NWT.

I downloaded the Arabic Bible and all books were there. Am I missing something or misunderstood you?

They put the old and new together. So Filemon, James-Jude are the new translation. The rest is the older one. So when you download both bibles, you can see the differences when you tap on the verses.

Yep, I have found them. The translation is much nicer. The 2004 Arabic NWT is sometimes too literal and wordy. So looking forward to the rest of the Bible. It would be great if brothers did an audio version as well.

Any mention of a large print size being available for order?

[RNGuzman]

My parents are at the international convention in Madrid where it was released.  They said no hard copies as of yet.  Not sure when they will come.  But it can be downloaded for now.  All I can say is wow.  I just read today's daily text with the new version of the scriptures and it's amazing!  Thank you, Jehovah!!!  We had our regional convention three weeks ago, so I assume we will have an announcement at a meeting.  It's possible there may be something on jw.org later today.

I am very happy for our Spanish speaking brothers.  They have been waiting for this moment for a long time.

Eu preciso de mais fotos! Close ups e tal! Ri muito

[Araujo JW]

For those who speak Spanish, one question: Is this translation in a neutral Spanish for all countries or will there be future releases in the language variations?

Thank you Jehovah!!!☺️

[Bek]

Wow, that is great news! There are so many Spanish-speaking countries. So the revised NWT is a huge contribution to the advancement of the Kingdom work. 

 

Judging by the comparison of John 17:3 in the old and new NWT, there is a big difference. The new translation is shorter and simpler. Even I can see the great improvement.

I am surprised that such a widely used language took so long to finish.

 

While Greek which is barely spoken at all in the world was done in 2017.
