Gospel Translated Bible into Mam Language in Guatemala
The American Bible Society issued a Mam language Gospel of St John for 200,000 Guatemalan Indians, part of a larger effort to translate 27 New Testament books. Translators, including Rev and Mrs H Dudley Peck, used dictionaries and native assistants like Aniceto Velasquez, who walked 940 miles yearly to study. The Mam version renders John 3 16 in native form, emphasizing the same verse about God’s love and eternal life.
