Institute for Bible Translation
- Institute for Bible Translation
Institute for Bible Translation, was founded in Stockholm, Sweden in 1973 by Dr. Borislav Arapovic, its main task being to publish Bibles for "non-Slavic peoples in Slavic countries." These 85 million non-Slavic ethnic groups living in the former Soviet Union - now CIS, including Russia - represent a tremendous diversity of language (at least 130 different languages) and religion (Islam, Buddhism and Shamanism).
Since 1995 IBT Russia/CIS ( _ru. Институт перевода Библии) has been registered in Moscow. The staff members are from various Christian denominations. The current director is Dr. Marianne Beerle-Moor. [ [http://www.ibt.org.ru/english/about_en.htm Institute for Bible Translation, Russia/CIS ] ] IBT’s Moscow office coordinates the work of 65 translation teams, whose members may live in different areas or even in different countries. It arranges training courses for them and organizes seminars and conferences. The Bible texts are prepared there for printing. The Institute also produces Scripture books for children, Bible reference works and language-related research material. IBT in Russia/CIS cooperates with churches and religious organizations of all Christian denominations, national Bible Societies, scientific (academic) institutions and the state authorities.
The IBT office in Helsinki was opened in 1983. It coordinates the translation projects in 12 Finno-Ugric languages spoken in Russia.
IBT is a member of the Forum of Bible Agencies International. In some translation projects the Institute works in partnership with other international Bible agencies, such as the United Bible Societies, the SIL/Wycliffe Bible Translators and Pioneer Bible Translators.
The aim of IBT is to produce accurate and faithful translations that reveal the Bible’s message to modern readers. So far IBT has translated and published the Bible or portions of it in more than 70 languages, including 3 complete Bibles and 26 New Testaments. IBT’s Children’s Bible has been published in 36 languages.
