New Testament in Gullah, Sea Island Creole, 1st ed. ©2005, American Bible Society

Preface
Gullah, also known as Geechee or as Sea Island Creole, is a

language traditionally spoken along the coastal area of South
Carolina and Georgia. While in the past Gullah was mistakenly
characterized as poor English, today it is recognized as a distinct
language. It is an English creole, born several hundred years ago
out of a contact language situation where Africans were taken
from various nations and language groups to grow rice in the
marshy lowcountry area along the Southeastern coast of the
American colony.
This translation of the New Testament into Gullah was more
than twenty-five years in the making. While the whole Gullah
New Testament was being translated, the Gospel of Luke was
published by the American Bible Society in 1994, entitled De
Good Nyews Bout Jedus Christ Wa Luke Write. Then in 2003, the
Gospel of John was published by Wycliffe Bible Translators,
entitled De Good Nyews Bout Jedus Christ Wa John Write.
The spelling used in the Gullah New Testament is a practical
orthography. It is not ideal in all respects, but this spelling of
Gullah words is designed for Gullah speakers who are already
literate in English. It is not a phonemic writing system, and it
would not be optimal for someone who does not already know
how to read English, nor for someone who does not know how
to speak Gullah. The spelling of Gullah is based on English, but
that should not be taken to mean that Gullah is a dialect of
English, despite obvious similarities. English has had its
influence on Gullah, both in its origin as an English creole and
in its development over the years. But Gullah, too, has had more
of an influence on English than many people realize.
Words in Gullah that are pronounced more or less the same as
in English are written with the English spelling. Gullah words
that are derived from English but are pronounced differently are
written in such a way as to represent the distinctive
pronunciation. Words of origin other than English are written
according to spelling rules that are familiar to those already
literate in English. The vast majority of those who will read the
Gullah New Testament are already literate in English. The
writing system used here makes it relatively easy for such
people to adapt to reading Gullah, and it follows the expressed
preference of the Gullah community.
This presentation of the Gullah New Testament translation
has the King James (Authorized) Version in the margin for
reference, alongside the Gullah text. This too was the preference
of the Gullah community. That is not to say that the Gullah text
is a translation of the King James. This translation should not be
seen as a Gullah version of any specific English translation, but
rather is based on the original Greek manuscripts. Several
English Bible translations were used for reference in the
translation process, but the foundation of this translation is the
Greek text, according to our best understanding today as to its
original form. The goal has been to make a translation from the
original language into Gullah that is clear in meaning, accurate,
and natural in its expression.
