The first Bible in te Reo Maori was published in 1868, and revised in 1889 and again in 1924. In 1946, as a result of advances in biblical and Maori language scholarship, a committee which included Sir Apirana Ngata began working on a further revision which was published in 1952. Now that same 1952 edition has been released with the most significant updates in 60 years.
