Dajak Version of the Scriptures

Cyclopedia of Biblical, Theological and Ecclesiastical Literature

The Dajak is spoken in Borneo. A translation of the New Test. was commenced by missionaries of the Rhenish mission in 1843, and completed in 1846. It was printed under the superintendence of Mr. A. Hardiland, at the Cape of Good Hope. This version is written in a dialect of the Dajak called Poelopetak, which prevails almost over the whole south side of Borneo. A new and revised edition was published in 1859. (B.P.)
