PREFACE

This edition of the Marshallese Bible is based on the work of missionaries in the late 1800'swho worked under the American Board of Commissioners for Foreign Missions (ABCFM). Wordsof Grace Ministries has reprinted that original work three times. The reasons for this edition andrevision are as follows. First, the original ABCFM work was incomplete. The books of Jeremiahthrough Malachi were lacking. Second, the Republic of the Marshall Islands (RMI) has adoptedan orthography to be used by the Ministry of Education, and we desired to bring the work to matchthat standard. Third, although the original ABCFM was quite a faithful translation, some changesneeded to be made due to archaic words and forms which are no longer in use in the MarshallIslands.

We have endeavored to keep the revisions of the existing material to a minimum. For the booksof Jeremiah through Malachi, we translated the material from Hebrew into Marshallese, seekingto maintain a balance between literalness and readability. Cross references, paragraph headings,and tables have been included to enhance one's study of the Bible, and footnotes highlightingcertain theological, historical, and archeological information have been added. In the introductionsto the books, M.K. stands for okta jn Kraist (Before Christ), and A.D. stands for Anno Domini,In the Year of our Lord. It is our hope that the Lord will use this work to help people know Himbetter.

We would like to express our appreciation for the ABCFM and nationals who labored to producethe first translation. In addition, many Marshallese helped in preparing this edition, and a numberof Americans aided in the formatting.
