Kiembu-Kembeere
Bible translation into Kiembu-Kimbeere had already started by 1976 by the Bible Society of Kenya under the Sponsorship of the Anglican and Roma Catholic Churches with Canon Bedan Ireri (Anglican) and Fr Gabriel Museverethi (RC) as translators but stalled as a result of misunderstandings. A new attempt to restart the Kiembu-Kimbeere Bible translation project was relaunched in 1995 with Wilson Munyi (RC) and John Gichangi (Anglican) as translators. Later Pithon Njuki of the Mbeere dialect joined this team and helped to give it a balanced
dialectal representation.
A trial first publication in the language-the Gospel of Mark was launched on 29th March 1998 at the Anglican Cathedral of the Diocese of Embu in a colorful ceremony attended by most Christian denominations in Embu and Mbeere districts.
