Asen Kibur Aser Kumtetdakba Yisu Krista Tasen Lai Otsu

"Asen Kibur Aser Kumtetdakba Yisu Krista Tasen Lai Otsu" is a vital religious and historical text representing the New Testament translated into the Ao Naga language. Published in the early 20th century, this work stands as a landmark in the linguistic and spiritual history of the Naga people of Northeast India. The volume contains the full canon of the New Testament, including the four Gospels, the Acts of the Apostles, the Epistles, and the Book of Revelation, all rendered in the local vernacular to serve the growing Christian community of the region.

This edition is a significant artifact of missionary linguistic scholarship, illustrating the transcription of the Ao Naga language into a written form using the Latin script. It serves as an essential resource for scholars of South Asian history, linguistics, and missiology, offering a window into the cultural and religious transformations occurring in the Naga Hills during the colonial era. By preserving the theological terminology and linguistic nuances of the period, the work remains a foundational piece of literature for the Ao Naga community. The text reflects the meticulous efforts to make sacred scripture accessible to indigenous populations, highlighting the intersection of Western religious influence and local cultural identity.
