De good nyews bout Jedus Christ wa Luke write

The Gospel of Luke in Gullah (Sea Island Creole) is the first book of the Bible to be published in this tongue. This translation is prepared for the thousands of Sea Island speakers, whose language has been shown to be not only a completely worthy, but also a truly beautiful vehicle for the conveyance of God's Good News. We have attempted to produce an idiomatic translation making use of the rich heritage of the many traditional Gullah phrases, while at the same time employing contemporary forms spoken by the majority of the Sea Islanders. We endeavored to attain an effective literary quality suitable for private and public reading, for preaching and teaching, and for dramatic presentation. - Preface.
