The newly released “Ka Baibala Hemolele – The Holy Bible,” published by Kamehameha Schools in partnership with the Partners in Development Foundation, is now available at a discount for KS students, parents, alumni and staff.

The bilingual Hawaiian-English Bible was unveiled at Mission Houses Museum on Tuesday night. The Bible was initially translated into ‘ōlelo Hawai‘i in 1839, and it is likely that the printing press at the aforementioned museum was used in its publication. Ka Baibala’s last edition was published in 1998 until the recent partnership brought new copies to fruition for multiple generations to utilize.

As KS continues to cultivate learners who are grounded in Christian and native Hawaiian values, “Ka Baibala Hemolele” will be given to all incoming KS freshmen starting in 2019 to be utilized in Christian Education and other classes.

The book is available for purchase at $40, marked down from a retail price of $69.95. To purchase a copy, visit the Mutual Publishing website or call 732-1709.
