Portions of the Book of Common Prayer in Masaba (1907)

 

Masaba is a Bantu language spoken by about 1,500,000 people in eastern Uganda, on the Kenyan border. It is mutually intelligible with Bukusu, spoken across the border in Kenya. William Muss-Arnolt provides the following biography of the first translator of portions of the Book of Common Prayer into Masaba (this book) in The Book of Common Prayer among the Nations of the World (1914):

In November, 1900, the Rev. William Arthur Crabtree [1868-1945], who had been engaged for some time in linguistic work at Gayaza—a very populous centre some twelve miles from Mengo, in the province of Kyadondo, started with his wife on a holiday tour. He made his way eventually to Masaba, in the district of Mount Elgon, north-east of Lake Victoria Nyanza. Here he established himself at a place called Nabumale, among the Bagishu, a large tribe, said to be almost as numerous as the Baganda. So attractive did Crabtree find the opening, and so great the opportunity for work, that he wrote to Bishop Tucker and asked his permission to remain. This was readily accorded. Crabtree stayed for a number of years, and, in addition to pastoral work, he did notable linguistic work. The language of the Bagishu is an archaic form of Bantu, and has in it many words closely allied both to Luganda and Lunyoro. The first reading-book, a hymn book, the Prayer Book, a book of Bible stories of some one hundred pages, all most beautifully printed, tell of the missionary’s most unsparing efforts, both intellectual and physical. It was Crabtree also who reduced to writing the Lumasaba, the language of the Bantu-speaking (Wa-)Kavirondo—“the fair Kavirondo” of Bishop Hannington—a language more archaic than Luganda or Lunyoro.

David Griffiths identifies this translation as No. 108:1 in The Bibliography of the Book of Common Prayer 1549-1999 (London: The British Library; New Castle, Delaware: Oak Knoll Press, 2002).
