The Jamiekan Nyuu Testiment (Jubilee Edition) is the largest and the most standardised body of work in Jamaican Creole - the heart language of over 3 million Jamaicans. It is a culmination of some twenty (20) years of work by dedicated and trained translators, Bible Scholars and linguists. The printed text is a beautifully bound New Testament with black vinyl cover and silver-gild Bible leaf. It also comes in an attractive and durable slip case. The JNT is the first publication of the Jamaican translation; it comes in a diglot form, with Jamaican text set alongside the King James Version for reference; it is a faithful translation from the original Greek manuscripts; it includes a guide on how to read and write Jamaican, maps relevant to the New Testament, a list of important dates in Jamaica's history, Jamaica's National Anthem and National Pledge and descriptions an pictures of two of Jamaica's important national emblems.
