Title: The bible

The Bible has been translated into an Australian Aboriginal language for the first time.

The Anglican Church has launched the first entire Bible in Kriol, the most widely-spoken indigenous language in the country.

The task has taken almost 30 years, and involved more than 100 linguists.

And how many of us have read it?  There are some quite good stories in the Old Testement I think.

I love the Psalms.  Remember:
 

May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight Oh Lord.

 

That's from the Psalms.

I liked all the early stuff with the Assyrians etc.  They had some brilliant names - Tiglath Pilezer or something like that?

My great grandmother from Suffolk was called Karenhappuch. That was her Christian name. Apparently a daughter of Job.
 

I love the biblical names Seth, Gideon and of course Ruth (my daughter's name).

It would make those clothing labels expensive. Don't they charge by the letter?
