ViBi
The Japanese Sign Language Bible Translation
A Bible of the Deaf, by the Deaf, and for the Deaf
in the hands of the average Deaf person.
Why We Publish the JSL Bible
Once, a Deaf person visited a church and asked
about Jesus Christ. They gave him a Bible and told him to read about the
life of Christ, but he left the church downcast. Why? Because he couldn't
read the Japanese Bible.
This is not an isolated case. It happens all too
often. The Deaf need a Bible in their own language! Even Deaf people who
can read Japanese understand Sign Language better. Our vision is to give
the Deaf access to the Bible in a Sign Language translation they can
understand. We are looking for people who share this vision.
