An Beybel Sans yw screfys in Kernowek Standard. -- This is the first translation of the entire Bible to be published in Cornish. The translator of the Cornish Bible is Professor Nicholas Williams, the foremost present-day translator into the language. The first draft of his translation was based on the original languages together with a collation of several other versions. Next the translation was reviewed by a number of competent Cornish speakers, whose comments helped improve the readability of the work. Thereafter the translator searched the Middle and Late Cornish texts -- miracle plays, homilies, and portions of scripture, to find all those passages where native Cornish renderings could be used in the translation. Such passages by speakers of traditional Cornish have been incorporated throughout the Cornish Bible, and add to its authenticity. Wherever possible, personal and geographical names are those attested in traditional Cornish. The volume contains ten maps, in which all the place-names appear in Cornish form. An Beybel Sans is written in Standard Cornish.

I can't comment on the quality of the translation, but I am very pleased that there is a Cornish translation in existence. Given that it took the author from 2003-11 or so, I definitely feel inclined to buy it, knowing what hard work translation can be.

Thsi translation of both the old and new testaments finally offers us a complete Cornish Bible. As ever Williams offers us a vigorous and lasting translation which embeds those already completed by Rowe. Every Cornish home should have this. This is surely a major moment for the language... an incredible achievement.

It is an orthography that no-one uses , the Cornish is a hybrid , 'Kernglish' if you like. We need new material in this language , not outdated religious works. It would have had some merit if it had been published in the Standard Written Form, but it might as well have been written in Klingon for the value this book has for the Cornish Language, best to be avoided .
