Nhanderuete ayvu iky'a e'ỹ va'e

The Nhanderuete ayvu iky'a e'ỹ va'e is the Bible in Mbyá Guaraní, the language of the Mbyá people, who live in Brazil, Paraguay and Argentina. Copyright is 2004, held by Wycliffe Bible Translators, which does not publish the team's names. The 2004 record is that of the printed New Testament; the text eBible distributes, and that you find here, also includes the Old Testament. The title opens with Nhanderuete, the Mbyá name for God, "our true Father".
There is no public account of the method. The text calls God by the name the Mbyá themselves use rather than importing an outside term, and prefers comparison to bare metaphor: in Psalm 23 the Lord cares for me rami, "like" one who tends sheep. Spelling follows the Brazilian convention, with nh and x, and Psalm 23 itself borrows the Portuguese Senhor.
It serves Mbyá speakers who want Scripture in the language of the village, not of the city. The honest limit is that Mbyá is not Paraguayan Guaraní, the language of millions in Paraguay: readers of that Guaraní will find the vocabulary and spelling unfamiliar. And Mbyá in Paraguay and Argentina, used to other spelling conventions and to Spanish loanwords, may find the text's Brazilian stamp less familiar.
