The primary objective in this essay is to analyze the act of Bible translation and its effectiveness in shaping and enhancing the discourse of colonialism and the discourse of resistance. Using the translation of the Gĩkũyũ New Testament as a case study, I seek to highlight two main issues. In the first place, I seek to show that Bible translation in colonial Africa, though in most cases defended as a neutral, legitimate and benevolent act of redemption, actually disguises the colonial power situation. Secondly, even though Bible translators aimed at dominating and restructuring the colonized’s view of reality, the translation process was not in itself immune to the restructuring power of decolonization.
