History: The Albanian New Testament was first published in 1827 in the Tosk dialect. In 1872 the New Testament was translated into the Gheg (Geg) dialect. The first complete translation of the Scriptures was translated by Dom Filipaj in the 1970s. A translation of the Italian Diodati Bible was completed in 1994, which is used widely in the evangelical churches. A translation of the whole Shqip Bibla by Dr Stephen Etches was produced in 2003. A new translation of the New Testament from the original Greek, called Dhiata e Re, was published in 2007.
