Ti Biblia (TB) is a version of the Holy Bible in the Ilokano language using the formal equivalence principle of translation. This translation approach mirrors the formal characteristics of the Hebrew and Greek textual bases in terms of parts of speech, sentence construction, word order, and length of sentences. Therefore, readers of this translation are assured that the Ti Biblia version of the Holy Bible is a faithful and accurate translation.
