Titled 'Mal Paharia New Testament', the book was released by the Northern Evangelical Lutheran (NEL) Church.
"It was the first translated version of the holy book in the Maundo language," NEL Church's Banderjori moderator Shivlal Soren said releasing the book here yesterday.
The Bible Society of India, Bangalore has published the book, which was translated mainly by Ram Chandra Singh.

It took 10 years for him to complete the translation.
