――――――
The New Oromo Contemporary Version is a new translation of the Bible into the Western Dialect of Oromo. Its goal is to deliver the message of the original Greek and Hebrew texts as clearly as possible, dynamically using the strengths of the words, images, and key words expressed accurately in modern Oromo, without paraphrasing too much, following the New International Version translation philosophy. This translation is suitable for use in public worship, private devotional reading, and Bible study. While the church is the primary audience, the translation does not use complex or unnatural language, so that even those outside the church can hear Godʼs word clearly. Some key theological concepts have been explained in footnotes, while traditional renderings remain in the main text. The New Oromo Contemporary Version is available in both Latin and Ethiopic scripts. Many elders above the age of sixty read the Ethiopic script, while those under sixty prefer the Latin script.
