Translations Completed by Bible Societies in 2022¹

From Brazil to Bangladesh, 57 language groups — a total of 100 million people — received first Scripture translations. New or revised translations were completed in another 25 languages used by over 623 million people.² These provide Scripture access to language communities whose needs are no longer met by previous translations.

“The unique and powerful story of UBS has Bible translation at its heart. Our translation teams are at the forefront of our mission as they strive to unlock the transforming power of God’s word for their communities. It is a laborious task which requires sustained commitment and dedication — truly a ‘labour of love.’ May Paul’s words to the Corinthians encourage each one of our translation colleagues to ‘remain firm and steadfast,’” comments Dirk Gevers, UBS Secretary General.
