Ukrainian Bible

Біблія українською мовою - Bible in Ukrainian

This is a hardback edition of the full Bible in the Ukrainian language.  It has a traditional black leather look cover with the title in gold on the spine.  The dimensions are 23.2 cm high x 15.5 cm wide x 2.7cm thick.  It is published by the Trinitarian Bible Society in England.

Unlike most Bibles in the English language, the index at the beginning of this Bible is only for the Old Testament.  However following the end of the Old Testament on page 825, you will find the index for the New Testament.  The page numbering also starts again at this point.

Ukrainian is the native language of 68% of Ukrainians, and Russian is the native language of 30%.  But Ukrainian is the language of education.  So Russian speakers can all understand Ukrainian, and many Ukrainian speakers also understand Russian.  When a Ukrainian and a Russian speaker meet, they can often each speak their mother tongue, and understand each other quite well.

82% of Ukrainians identify as Christian believers, so the Bible is important to them.  But of course they prefer to read the Bible in their own native language.  So I would advise asking whether they would prefer Ukrainian or Russian before offering them a Bible or New Testament.
