Bible Week Day One, September 5, 2025.

The Rev. Anwar Tjen, Ph.D. (Rev. Anwar), was again a guest speaker in one of the seminars at Sungailiat Bible Week 2025. Why does the Bible translation undergo revision? This is a question that is often asked by various circles of believers, who have not been socialized about the New Translation of the Bible 2 (TB 2). Not bored, Rev. Anwar always accepts input and questions that are always thrown.

The TB 2 Bible seminar was held at 4:00 pm, right after the opening service. In this seminar, Rev. Anwar again explained things that had been repeatedly conveyed, namely the explanation of the words "than", "ipuh", "perkara", and so on. "Who knows what "ipuh" means?", asked Rev. Anwar to the seminar participants who were smiling and confused. Apparently, many of the words in the 1974 TB Bible are confusing. This was one of the reasons why the translation had to be revised. In addition, there are many other factors such as language development, and various other things.

Some participants also enthusiastically asked Rev. Anwar questions, adding to the excitement of the activity. After about 2 hours, the seminar finally came to an end. Mr. Rajiun as the MC again explained the substance of the revised Bible translation in TB 2. After the announcement of door prizes, the activity ended with a group photo. Sungailiat Bible Week activities will still take place until September 7, 2025 at GBI Air Merapin Sungailiat.
