Unlocked Literal Bible - English
a Bible intended to be freely available for people to translate into any language
Overview
The Unlocked Literal Bible (ULB) is an open-licensed version of the Bible derived from The American Standard Version, and updated using the most reliable Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek copies of the Biblical texts available. It is intended to accurately reflect the meanings of those texts and to be used as a source text for Bible translators to translate the Bible into their own language. This repository contains the USFM source files for the Unlocked Literal Bible.
Viewing
To read or print the formatted ULB, see the English Unlocked Literal Bible on [Bible in Every Language] (https://bibleineverylanguage.org/index.php/translations/). To view the repository of the Unlocked Dynamic Bible, go to [WycliffeAssociates/en_udb] (https://git.door43.org/WycliffeAssociates/en_udb).
Contributors
If you are a contributor to this ULB project, please add your name to the contributor field in the manifest.yaml file. If you will be editing this ULB, please see [Introduction to the ULB] (https://git.door43.org/WycliffeAssociates/en_ulb/src/branch/master/00-About_the_ULB/ULB-1-Intro.md) and [Decisions Concerning the ULB] (https://git.door43.org/WycliffeAssociates/en_ulb/src/branch/master/00-About_the_ULB/ULB-2-Decisions.md).
Branches
We do not make changes in the master branch. If we were to do that, the version accessible through BIEL would be updated each time a change is made, while the version in the translation apps would not. This causes confusion when people find that the versions they are looking at are different. So instead, we make our changes in a temporary branch. When it is decided to merge the temporary branch into the master branch, IT will also update the version in all the apps.
In January 2023, we started a new branch called June23. We merged it into the master in Feb 2024. Then we did some copyediting in the June_2024 branch and merged that into the master in July 2024. We will start a new temporary branch when we revise the ULB, probably near the end of 2024.
