Gospel of Luke (Dersim-Zazaki)

This App provides the text and audio of the Gospel of Luke and Psalm 23 from the Bible translated into Northern Zazaki (Kirmancki, Zonê Ma), as spoken in the region of Dersim-Hozat (Turkey). The written and spoken sentences will appear scrolling together. Music by Zeki Çiftçi introduces the chapters of the Gospel. Luke, a doctor from ancient Antakya, reports in his Gospel about Jesus’ birth, his teaching and his miracles, his crucifixion and resurrection. All this happened during the time of the Roman Empire. The Gospel of Luke points out that Jesus is indeed the Messiah that God had promised by the ancient prophets. The people were wondering about Jesus’ message because his preaching was different than what they were used to. Religious leaders often hated him; but the common people were amazed at his wisdom and were moved by his love for them. Zaza (Kirmanc) speakers from the region of Dersim will enjoy listening to the audio and at the same time easily read the text.
