Cherokee Bible Day is TOMORROW

Cherokee Bible Day is September 18.
That is when families & individuals begin to commemorate the efforts of everyone involved in translating the bible into Cherokee.
September 20 is when CHURCHES commemorate these efforts, many of which receive an offering that is used to buy CHEROKEE BIBLES for young and Old folks who want to read it in their own language.


You can download a ROUGH DRAFT of some prayers you may choose to use during the next 30 days.


Please pray that the project of translation will be completed.

Please pray that all of the translated portions will be made available FREE online to anyone who wants them (We are working on this!)


Please pray for everyone that works on these 2 projects.


You may download the PDF of the rough draft of the prayer book here:

The finished copy (we expect) will be reviewed by an editor and placed online for those who want it- but we don't have an estimated time that will be completed.


SGI/Wado/ Thank you for your patience!


Oh!
almost forgot:


here is a short and  easy to learn to sing song for CHEROKEE BIBLE DAYS

This is a good, short chorus for learning syllabary







THIS SONG:

  (ᏱᎰᏩᏃ!)

TRANSLATION:


ᏱᎰᏩ!= YHWH (Lord/Jehovah) This is a FOREIGN word; comes from the Hebrew and introduced to the language through missionaries and the Bible but was not originally a Cherokee word, however, it has been in use among the Cherokee since the 1700's.
ᏱᎰᏩᏃ! = YHWH (Lord/ Jehovah with Honorific)
ᎡᏥᎸᏉᏓ!= (imperative) Praise Ye him/her (by implication in this context: All of you Praise the Lord!)
