Lamka, 31 May 2026: In a historic and joyful occasion, the Zou Holy Bible (NKJV) was officially released by Rt. Rev. Khupdoukhen, Bishop of the Manipur Evangelical Lutheran Church (MELC) at the MELC Headquarters Church in Zomi Colony on Sunday afternoon, 31 May 2026. He also led the dedication prayer during the programme.
The event was attended by leaders from the Zou community, including UZO and its branches, the Singngat A/C MLA, church leaders, and many Bible lovers who gathered with great enthusiasm.
The Holy Bible was translated by Rev. Haozalian, the chief translator, along with his team from the Zou Holy Bible Lovers’ Committee (ZHBLC). The team spent more than 19 years carefully translating the New King James Version (NKJV) from English into the Zou dialect, working word by word and sentence by sentence. The Bible was published by the Trinitarian Bible Society, London.
This is the fifth Holy Bible translated into the Zou dialect and the first to be published outside India.
During the programme, a souvenir magazine prepared by the Zou Holy Bible Lovers’ Committee was also released by Rev. Dr. Hangpi Manlun of the Zou Presbyterian Church Synod (ZPCS). The magazine highlights the journey of the Bible translation work and other important activities of the committee.
