From Jan. 13 to Feb 5 I worked with a speaker of Njyem, Colette NKOM. We were limited to spending the mornings together. We have made significant progress on the adaptation of the Scriptures from Badwe'e, finishing Mark's Gospel in first draft. Rufine ADJOWA, her older sister, participated with us on the reading of the first 4 chapters.
The Badwe'e Bible portions include the New Testament, Genesis, Ruth, and Jonah.
I am doing this in the expectation that it will be an offering to the Lord Jesus which he will accept and bless as a means of bringing new life to the Njyem.
Other than doing the first draft of Mark's Gospel, we have adapted the AIDS book ("Kande's Story") into Njyem. We also transcribed natural texts and analyzed them. For us to have an adequate knowledge of the unique features of the Njyem language, we must do this analysis.
