The New Testament of the Bible has been translated into 1,534 languages in an attempt to spread the word of the gospel to every country, culture, and community in the world. One of those languages is Hawai’i Pidgin, the mixed English and native Hawaiian language that is recognized as an official language of the state. Da Jesus Book, despite sounding to standard English speakers like a separate book about Jesus, is, in fact, the official translation of the New Testament into Hawai’i Pidgin. Other pidgin languages are more localized or random mixtures of languages, but Hawai’i Pidgin is actually stable with fixed rules, which makes the translation viable for natives to read.
