Bible Translation Into Ukrainian
The known history of the Bible translation into Ukrainian began in 16th century with Peresopnytsia Gospels, which included only four Gospels of the New Testament. Later in 17-19th centuries, when the Ukrainian territory was a part of the Russian Empire, several other translations were made secretly because of the Russian Government restrictions on Ukrainian language.
At present there are several translations of Holy Scripture into Ukrainian:
- 1903 Panteleimon Kulish translation; (Ukrainian: Переклад Куліша).
- 1957 Ivan Khomenko translation; (Переклад Хоменка) Rome. Translation by Catholic priest, including deuterocanonicals.
