We don't need a patois bible. How about mastering the English language first. Let's not perpetuate ignorance with this. We don't need yet another interpretation of the bible circulating out there.

If we put the bible in patois it could draw away the message that is suppose to be brought across and even place some emphasis on certain areas which may seem demeaning. An example is the virgin birth where the angel said Mary you shall have a baby in patois it would read something like ths the "virgin did a breed". That seems a bit demeaning to me concubine - whore etc. Nah dont do it. ppl hardly understand the english already which how we gonna understand a language that is not constant which range from parish to countries its a waste of funds that could be used for something else its good that we are thinking about God but i would think God would want the 60 million to help the needy. Do the right thing help the needy or help people to learn English and patois before we think of translating the bible into patois.

But people still read the KJV and the NIV etc. I don’t think you were saying people don’t in general. Oh, but like how u no read your bible those acronyms mean King James Version and New International Version :) I share the SAME sentiments.

There are some people for which a written form was invented by the writing of a Bible in their language. In fact, English spelling was standardised primarily by popular works of literature (bible, Shakespeare, etc.)until a dictionary was written.

It's just a waste of money. Written patois is mainly for tourists in my opinion. True words. It’s just a waste of money. Written patois is mainly for tourists in my opinion.
