The Bible in Contemporary Kirundi is meant to be a great alternative for to those who read the Bible in Kirundi, especially young ones. It is intended for all Kirundi-speaking people, wherever they are, whether they have accepted Jesus as their Lord and Savior or unbelievers. It is based on the original Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek manuscripts, so that the modern user can clearly understand the inspired message of the original writers.
In the Old Testament, God spoke to his people in a way that they could hear and write down. Later God sent the Word, his son, who was born in human flesh and lived among us. While in the flesh, Jesus spoke face to face with the Jews. Today he speaks to us through the word of God written in our language.
That is why the translators of this Bible have done everything possible to convey the word of God to every reader of Kirundi, in all faithfulness. The purpose of this Bible is to strengthen the faith of those who have received Christ into their lives and to enlighten unbelievers so that they too may have a living faith and receive the gift of eternal life, which is found in Jesus Christ.
