About the Plain English Version

Bible League is currently working with Wycliffe Bible Translators to develop a Bible specifically designed for Indigenous Australians.

The Plain English Version (PEV) is a special Bible translation for Indigenous Australians who speak Aboriginal languages, but also have English as a second language.

As of 2023, the PEV includes many Bible books and a Mini-Bible with parts of the New Testament, Genesis, and 1 & 2 Samuel. The PEV is still being translated, with new parts added regularly.

It uses plain language features common to Aboriginal languages, such as avoiding passive voice, using action words instead of abstract nouns, and shorter sentences. The translation makes sure the original meaning is clear, explains hidden information, and clarifies figurative language.

 

Why is the Plain English Version Needed?

The Plain English Version (PEV) is needed because many Indigenous Australians speak Aboriginal languages and find traditional Bibles hard to understand.

The PEV uses plain language and grammar familiar to them, making the Bible's message clear and easy to understand.
