Abstract

Roma culture underlies individual approaches in the process of Bible translation. Various forces influence the socio-cultural situation of the minority community in Slovakia. Religiosity is one of the most important parts of the Roma social and private life. My assumption is that in the process of the Bible translation into the Roma language in Slovakia it is necessary to trace the unique cultural adaptations - culturally appropriate categories and idioms are important issues. Bible translation uses indigenous categories that make biblical interpretation in the native language of Roma people relevant. Document’s analysis oriented on Gospel of Mark translation is part of this article too. The relevance theory (Sperber & Wilson, 1995) with its notion of contextual effects may provide an adequate framework within which to perform this task and to continue in this research. This study is adopting Brief Multidimensional Measurement of Religiousity and Spirituality used by Fetzer Institute in General Social Survey. I was looking for the relations between religious and value orientations. The profiles of the religious orientations are based on 26 items, which cover a variety of dimensions (e.g. public and personal religiosity, ethics, civil morality, family values, and social cohesion). Keywords: Bible translation, cultural adaptations, religious orientation, Roma population
