I have a series of short theological handouts written in English that I use for classroom teaching and now need in clear, natural Kiswahili. The assignment covers both the initial translation and a careful proofread to make sure every doctrinal nuance, citation, and instructional note still reads accurately and fluently for students. Because these are teaching aids, tone and terminology must remain faithful to the original while sounding conversational to Kiswahili-speaking learners. Please draw on established biblical and theological vocabulary so the wording feels familiar to readers who attend seminars, Bible schools, or church training sessions. The files are simple handouts—no complex layouts—so the core deliverable is a clean Kiswahili text ready for photocopying or digital distribution. If you see any ambiguity or cultural reference that might confuse East African audiences, flag it and suggest an equivalent that preserves meaning. Acceptance criteria: • Complete Kiswahili translation of each handout, free of spelling or grammar errors • Side-by-side English/Kiswahili version (or tracked changes) so I can review choices easily • Consistent theological terminology across all pages If you have prior experience translating religious or educational materials into Kiswahili, especially for teaching contexts, your expertise will be invaluable.
