Haiti
(Hati in French; Ayiti in Haitian Creole; Hayti in nineteenth century English), officially the Republic of Haiti, occupies one-third of the Caribbean island of Hispaniola. The Haitian Creole Bible is an asset for any one who shares the Gospel with people who thinks in Ayiti . Many of the words in
non-Haitian Bibles are unfamiliar to them; therefore the significance of the Gospel message is hard for them to understand. As a result many of the benefits of your efforts may be lost.
A former French colony, Haiti became the first independent black republic and the only nation ever to form from a successful slave revolt. Haiti became the second non-native country in the Americas (after the United States) to declare its independence on January 1, 1804.
The Haitian Bible is a good idea for everyone one will be doing missionary work in that part of the Dominican Republic. After all, Haitian Creole is the language they have lived with all of their lives. The Gospel will be more perfectly understood if could read in the Ayiti; the Haitian Creole's language.
There are several worth while advantages in using the Bible in Ayiti; the Haitian Creole Bible:
-
The Haitian people can appreciate your bringing the Gospel in a language they understand rather than in an unknown tongue.
-
You, as God's agent will better appreciate the cultural and religious experience and your efforts will be more readily accepted.
-
The disciples will gain a greater understanding of the message you bring they learn through their Haitian bible
-
It shows respect for the culture as the Gospel is brought to them in Haitian Creole.
-
As in English and other languages meaningful expressions and idioms found in each language, so in Haitian Creole there are meaningful expressions and idioms found which will be greatly appreciated in the Haitian Creole Bible. It is the the core of being more vibrant in their native language.
-
Finally, when reading the Haitian Creole Bible, Gods speaking is clearer to them as He speaks Haitian.
