Kithaabul Muqaddhas 3.3.4

A translation of holy scripture from the Tawrat, Zabur, Anbiya, & Injeel is now available in Dhivehi, the national language of the Republic of Maldives.

The book of Genesis begins with the narrative of Adam and Eve's journey from a state of innocence when they were "naked and not ashamed" to their disobedience towards God and subsequent separation from his presence. This tragic condition has had a profound impact on all of humanity. However, God's love for us remains unwavering. In this Dhivehi translation, readers can delve into how God demonstrated his love for individuals like Noah, Abraham, Sarah, Ishmael, Isaac, and their descendants. The story of Moses and the redemption of his people from Egypt can be discovered in the book of Exodus. The book of Ruth presents a captivating love story. The accounts of King David can be found in 1 and 2 Samuel. The insightful words of King Solomon in Proverbs provide divine guidance for everyday life. For Dhivehin readers, the remarkable sea adventure of Jonah holds particular interest.

God's love finds its most profound expression in the life and teachings of Jesus as recorded by Mark, Luke, and John. The Acts of the Apostles shed light on the early followers of Jesus. The Good News about Jesus spread throughout the ancient Roman Empire, and believers required guidance on how to follow Jesus collectively. This guidance was provided through apostolic letters. The letter to the Galatians elucidates the concept of true freedom, while Ephesians teaches strategies to overcome Satan. Philippians outlines the goal necessary for true joy. James describes what constitutes true religion through his letter. Various letters provide instructions for leaders. The letter to the Hebrews delves into the relationship between the ministries of Jesus and Moses, addressing whether Jesus is simply a prophet or more. In his first letter, Peter prepares believers for the inevitability of ridicule, suffering, and persecution, urging them to respond by trusting God and engaging in acts of goodness. In Peter's second letter, he forewarns about false prophets and describes the end of the world on Judgment Day. Readers are encouraged to anticipate Jesus's imminent return through diligent preparations. The letters of 1, 2, 3 John, and Jude delve further into these matters.

Future plans include Dhivehi translations of other holy writings from the Tawrat, Zabur, Anbiya, and Injeel.
