Summary
The Uzbek Bible, known as "Муқаддас Китоб" (Muqaddas Kitob), is a historic publication and the first full translation of the Holy Bible into the Uzbek language. This monumental work, completed in Cyrillic script, is a miracle for Uzbek believers in Uzbekistan and Tajikistan, providing a much-needed Protestant Bible. The green hardcover edition spans 1,958 pages and was officially approved by the Uzbek government in June 2017, marking a significant milestone for religious freedom in the region. The translation project, initiated by the Institute for Bible Translation and later joined by SIL, took about 22 years to complete, overcoming numerous challenges, including the political upheaval following the Andijan events in 2005.
Interesting
The journey to the publication of the Uzbek Bible was fraught with difficulties, as the political climate in Uzbekistan became increasingly hostile to Christian communities following the Andijan events. The translation team, consisting of Uzbek translators and SIL exegetical checkers, had to relocate to a neighboring country to continue their work. Despite the challenges, the team's dedication resulted in the completion of the translation, and the subsequent government approval was a surprising and joyous event. The Uzbek Bible Society now works to promote the use of this translation among churches.
