After 16 years of faithful work, the Bible Society of Ghana (BSG) was able to present the Komba people of Northeast Ghana with the complete Bible in their own language [in collaboration with several groups].
The launch, celebrated with great joy by more than 1,000 people gathered at Gbintiri School Park, marked not only the completion of a translation project but also an affirmation of hope for future generations.
Acts 2:6 provided the theme for the event:
“…They were all excited, because all of them heard the believers talking in their own languages.”
The BSG General Secretary described the Komba Bible as both a spiritual gift and a cultural safeguard. He said that this Bible will not only deepen faith but also serve as a “major repository” to preserve the Komba language and culture from extinction. For a people whose language and traditions face the risk of erosion, the Bible now stands as a living repository of the Komba language, preserving it for generations to come.
