Haggai

this post is adapted from the Forward written by Evelyn Lawson Meeks Verner and the book cover by B. Wilkes, and the website at Cherokee Bible Project,

Haggai

-- we are adding word studies to this book-- what words do you think we should elaborate upon?

WE HONOR THE TRANSLATORS: In tribute, we are posting links to their final resting places (memorials we discovered that were posted online by someone else) and we hope you will honor them as well Anna Gritts Kilpatrick Smith and Dr. J. F. Kilpatrick  Why is Haggai important? The tale is tragic and riveting:   A nation is overrun by invaders, who decimate them and take the tiny group of survivors into exile for decades. They return to find foreign settlers in their homeland, and their attempts to restore their traditional way of life stalls. Is this Native American History 101? Sounds like it-- BUT-- this all happened over 2500 years ago an ocean away. The Jewish remnant had returned from Babylon and began the rebuilding of the walls of the city.  They built the walls in just 52 days, weapons in one hand and tools in the other. After the walls were secured, they began the building of their own homes and left the temple, the dwelling place of God, in ruins. Sixteen long years passed and the Temple still lay in desolation, unused and unusable. Haggai the prophet arrives on the scene and points out the shallowness of their dedication to their Creator. Their failure to put their Maker first had brought a curse upon their harvests and their lives. Haggai wanted them to see that Creator had given divine leadership to the obedient leaders whom they should follow. They didn't think it was the right time to rebuild.  Haggai declared that NOW is the time. Haggai reminded them that although they were no longer an independent nation, they were still God's people. as stated by one author: "Although they were not a nation anymore, they were still God's People" ~Evelyn L. Meeks Verner, BRel., MA. Thanks to the generous donation of a friend, [Regina, we thank you!] we are able to share this.

Did you know?

Prentice Robinson, Cherokee Author & fluent speaker,

suggests that everyone who wants to seriously study Cherokee Language

use the published Cherokee Bible.

Robinson has said on many occasions:

"The New Testament remains the basic text of the

Cherokee language containing the most nearly complete vocabulary."

Also,

The Cherokee New Testament and the portions of the Old Testament were proofread and approved by MORE THAN 1000 Fluent Cherokee speakers?

DID YOU KNOW?

Each month, beginning in 1844, Evan Jones began publishing "the Cherokee Messenger".

On a monthly basis, 1000 copies were printed and distributed.

Portions of the Bible (and eventually even John Bunyan's book "Pilgrim's Progress") were placed in these monthly editions.
As these were received and read, the feedback on them from the Cherokee was used to improve the translations.
In 1846, the entire New Testament was reprinted.

Evans also printed and distributed Hymns in this manner, along with a "Book for Mothers".

This process ensured that the texts were proof read and approved and corrected by fluent Cherokee speakers before the final publication was printed.

To see for yourself:

I suggest you begin with this short book

3rd John

This is a very short (14 verses) book with simple language and it includes a vocabulary assist on the page as well.

Also, you can use the "SEARCH" box at the top right of the webpage and enter either syllabary or English (If you enter phonetics, you need to enter with the "-" hyphens between syllables) and you can find any word on the website.

for other books, you can find them in the links at

Cherokee Bible Project

That is the OFFICIAL home page of the Cherokee Bible Project.
