The Bible Society of India is a Christian body that is authorized to translate, produce, distribute and market the Bible and is a member of the United Bible Societies. On 21 February 1811, a meeting was held at "at the college of Fort William for the propriety of instituting a Bible Society, as Auxiliary to the British and Foreign Bible Society established in London", entitled as "The Calcutta Auxiliary Bible Society" with the same objectives as those in London." This Auxiliary Bible Society in Serampore, West Bengal first began attempt to coordinate supply Scriptures to existing Christians in Portuguese, Tamil, 'Cingalese,' Malayalam, and 'Canarese' languages. They gave 5,000 Cingalese New Testaments to a new Auxiliary Bible Society in Ceylon formed in August 1812. The headquarters of Bible Society of India moved from Nagpur to Bangalore in 1950, under the leadership of General Secretary Premanand Mahanty. The Central Office of the Bible Society of India is located in Bangalore city in the state of Karnataka in South India. The motto of the Society is to translate the word of God in languages, which people can understand, and produce the scriptures (normally in book form) at a price people could afford to buy. The Bible Society works together with many organizations in India to translate the Bible into various languages of India. The Bible is now available in 65 Indian languages, the New Testament in 70 additional languages,〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Translation )〕 and Scripture portions in 48 languages. *Auxiliaries〔(The Bible Society of India, list of Auxiliaries, October 2015 )〕 * * Aizawl Auxiliary, * * Allahabad Auxiliary, * * Andhra Pradesh Auxiliary * * Andaman and Nicobar Auxiliary, * * Bombay Auxiliary, * * Calcutta Auxiliary, * * Dimapur Auxiliary, * * Gujarat Auxiliary, * * Jabalpur Auxiliary, * * Karnataka Auxiliary, * * Kerala Auxiliary, * * North West India Auxiliary, * * Odisha Auxiliary, * * Ranchi Auxiliary, * * Shillong Auxiliary, * * Tamil Nadu Auxiliary, ==References== 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Bible Society of India」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
