Tshivenda 1936 and 1998

The pioneer translator of the Bible into Tshivenda was the missionary and linguist Dr Paul Erdmann Schwellnuss who was employed by the Berlin Missionary Society. He completed the first Tshivenda Bible in 1936.

The latest translation, an easy to read translation in Tshivenda was completed in 1998. It was translated by Mr FC Raulinga, Mr AR Mbuwe and Prof JA van Rooy. They were assisted by various other people as well as a Review Committee.
