My father, Ronnie Sim, who has died aged 81, worked for many years in Africa, helping people from various language groups to translate the Bible into their own tongue.
Much of his time was spent in Ethiopia, where his biggest project was to facilitate the Bible’s translation into the Hadiyya language. But he also had lengthy spells in Kenya, where he helped to create an infrastructure to support Bible translators to do their work more efficiently. There are still a large number of languages that do not have their own translation of the Bible.
