The translation of the Bible into Afaan Oromoo has a long history, evolving from early handwritten manuscripts to modern digital versions:
Onesimos Nasib: The first complete translation was famously finished in 1899 by Onesimos Nasib, an Oromo scholar who worked with the Swedish Mission.
Revised Translations: Over time, newer translations were developed to match modern linguistics. A significant new translation project began in 1975 and was completed in 1993 by the Ethiopian Evangelical Church Mekane Yesus.
Modern Versions: Today, several versions exist, including the 1997 and 2022 versions by Biblica® known as "Hiikkaa Ammayyaa Banamaa Haaraa™". Structure of the 66 Books

The number 66 is significant because it represents the Protestant canon. (It is worth noting that the Catholic Bible includes additional books known as the Apocrypha, totaling 73 books, while the Ethiopian Orthodox Tewahedo Bible—widely used in Ethiopia and among Oromo communities—contains an even larger canon, including books like Henok (Enoch) and Jubilees).
However, the 66-book canon is universally recognized by Protestant churches as the inspired, authoritative Word of God.
