The Eastern Bible is intended for people in Central Asia and other nations that were formerly part of the former Soviet Union. These residents speak Russian, although they belong to Islamic ethnic groups.
Due to Russian and Soviet influence in the past, millions of indigenous people in the Central Asian region now speak (and millions more can read) Russian as their first language. Many representatives of small ethnic groups who are still waiting for the full version of Scripture in their own language also understand and can read Russian.

Holy Bible. Meaningful translation of Taurat, Book of Prophets, Zabur and Injil - Reference material for the book of Genesis
"The Beginning" serves as an introduction to all of Scripture. This part of the Taurat says that the Almighty created the Universe and everything in it, including man (chap. 1-2). And everything that the Most High created was perfect and sinless (1:31). But He gave mankind a choice: to obey Him or not (2:16-17). When Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden rebelled against the Almighty, disobeying Him, the entire creation fell under the power of sin and found itself in a deplorable state. Thus, man lost the most basic and most valuable thing he had: a close relationship with the Most High (3:8). However, the Almighty promised salvation in the future (3:15) - the descendant of Eve (i.e. Isa Masih) had to come to bruise the head of the serpent (i.e. Satan), who deceived the first people and led them into sin.
Due to the fact that humanity was increasingly mired in sins, the Almighty destroyed all people in the waters of the flood (7:4), except for the righteous Nuh and his family (chap. 6-8). But despite this terrible but deserved punishment, humanity fell back into sin and rejected the Most High (11:1-9). Therefore, the Almighty began to prepare the way for the Savior Masih. He called the prophet Ibrahim, an elderly and childless man born into a family that worshiped idols (Book of the Prophets, Ish. 24:2), to leave the gods of his family and his native country and follow Him (12:1).
The Almighty promised to give him and his descendants the land of Canaan (present-day Palestine), to make his descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky, and through him to bless all the nations of the world (12:3; 15:4-5; 17:8). The Injil speaks of the final fulfillment of these promises. First, the Most High expanded the Promised Land from tiny Canaan to a Kingdom that now covers the entire world (Beg. 17:16; 28:14; Song of Zabur 2:8; Injil, Rom. 4:13; Rev. 21:1 -4; 22-27).
Secondly, all the followers of Isa are, based on their faith, the spiritual children of the prophet Ibrahim (Injil, Rom. 4:16-17; Gal. 3:29). And finally, the descendant of Ibrahim, Isa, is a blessing to the nations of the whole world, freeing from the burden of sin all who accept Him by faith (Injil, Gal. 3:14, 16; Rom. 6:1-7; Rev. 5:9-10) .
Prophet Ibrahim had many sons, but nevertheless, a relationship based on the Holy Agreement with the Almighty was established with only one of them - Ishak (17:19). The Almighty also blessed Ismail, promising to produce from him a great nation (17:20).
And later, Yaqub, the youngest son of Isaac, became the heir to the relationship based on the Agreement with the Almighty (25:23; 27:27-29). And although the descendants of Yaqub, as members of the people of Israel, were among those to whom the promise of the Most High applied, nevertheless Yusuf becomes the most famous among his brothers (Beg. 48:15-16; 49:26; Book of the Prophets, 1 Chron. 5: 1-2). The narrative ends with Ya'qub and his family moving from the Promised Land of Canaan to Egypt to escape famine. This move may seem to be a deviation from the path of the Almighty, which led to the fulfillment of the promise given by the Almighty to the prophet Ibrahim, but this is not so (46:1-4).
The Beginning describes the historical events that took place from the moment of creation to the middle of the 2nd millennium BC. e.

The Word becomes a Man
1 In the beginning was the Word# 1:1 Word – one of the names of Jesus Christ (see 1:14; Rev. 19:13).,
and the Word was with the Most High,
and the Word was the Most High.
2 It was in the beginning with the Almighty.
3 Everything that exists
was created through Him,
and without Him nothing of what is,
did not begin to exist.
4 Life is in Him,
and this life is the Light of humanity.
5 Light shines in the darkness
and darkness did not consume him.
6 The Almighty sent a man named Yahiya.7 He came as a witness, to testify about the Light, so that thanks to him everyone would believe in this Light.8 He himself was not the Light, but he came to testify about the Light.
9 There was true Light
Who enlightens every person,
coming into the world# 1:9 Or: “There was a true Light coming into the world, Which enlightens every person.”.
10 He was in the world that was created through Him,
but the world did not recognize Him.
11 He came to His people
but the people did not accept Him.
12 But to all those who accepted Him
and who believed in Him# 1:12 Lit.: “in His name.” To believe in someone's name means to believe in the bearer of that name, in this case, to believe in Isa Masih. Also at 2:23.,
He gave the power to become children of the Most High -
13 children not born of blood,
not from the desires or intentions of a person,
and born of the Most High# 1:13 This refers to spiritual birth through faith in Jesus the Messiah (see 1:12; 1 John 5:1)..
14 The Word became Man
and lived among us.
We have seen His glory
the glory that only He is endowed with -
only Son of Heavenly Father# 1:14 Son of Heavenly Father- this term does not mean that the Almighty has a son who was conceived in the usual way. In ancient times, among the Jews, the title “son of the Most High” was applied to the kings of Israel (see 2 Kings 7:14; Zab. 2:6-7), but also pointed to the expected Messiah, the Savior and the righteous King from the Most High, i.e. Jesus (see 1:49; 11:27; 20:31). In the Injil, through this term, the idea of the eternal relationship between the Almighty and the Masih is gradually revealed, indicating the similarity of characters and unity of nature of these Persons, using an example that is clear to us - the close relationship between father and son (see 1 John 2:23).,
full of grace and truth.
15 Yahiya testified of Him, declaring:
“This is the One about whom I said: “He who comes after me is above me, because He existed before me.”
16 By His infinite grace
we have all received one blessing after another.
17 After all, through the prophet Musa the Law was given, and grace and truth came through Isa, the promised Messiah# 1:17 Masih (translated as “Anointed One”) - the righteous King and Liberator, the Savior promised by the Almighty in Taurat, Zabur and the Book of the Prophets.. 18 No one has ever seen the Almighty# 1:18 In the Holy Scriptures we can read about cases when a person “saw” the Most High (see, for example, Beg. 32:30; Exod. 24:10). But the Most High never appeared before people in the fullness of His glory, since no one can see Him and live (see Ex. 33:20)., He was revealed to us by His only Son, Who always abides with the Father and Who Himself is the Most High.
The purpose of the ministry of the prophet Yahiah
(Matt. 3:1-12; Mark 1:2-8; Luke 3:1-18)
19 And here is the testimony of Yahia. When the leaders of the Jews sent priests and Levites to Yahiya# 1:19 Levites - one of the twelve clans of the Israelite people. The Almighty chose the Levites to be assistants to the clergy.to ask him who he is,20 he told them directly, without hiding:
- I am not Masih.
21 They asked him:
- Then who are you? Prophet Elias?# 1:21 Ilyas - the Jews remembered that the prophet Elias was taken alive into heaven (see 2 Kings 2:11), and believed that he should come before the coming of the Messiah and prepare the way for Him (see Mal. 4:5; Luke. 1:17). And although in this case Yahiya says that he is not Ilyas, Isa still claimed that the ancient prophecy was fulfilled in Yahiya (see Matt. 11:14; 17:12; Mark 9:13), since he came “in spirit and strength" by Ilyas.
He replied:
- No.
- So you are the Prophet predicted by Musa?# 1:21 See Deut. 18:15, 18; In. 1:45; Acts 3:18-24. In all likelihood, some mistakenly believed that this was some other prophet other than Masih (see 1:25; 7:40-41).
“No,” answered Yahiya.
22 -Who are you? - they asked then. – Tell us so that we can convey your answer to those who sent us. What can you say about yourself?
23 Yahiya answered them with the words of the prophet Isaiah:
- “I am the voice that is heard in the desert: straighten the path for the Eternal# 1:23 Eternal – the Greek word “kyurios”, which appears here in the original text, is translated in the Injil by the Hebrew “Yahweh”. And since in this edition of the Holy Scriptures “Yahweh” is translated as “Eternal,” then its Greek equivalent is translated the same way. Under the name “Yahweh,” the Almighty revealed himself to Musa and the people of Israel (see Ex. 3:13-15). See explanatory dictionary.» # 1:23 Isa. 40:3..
24 And those who were sent were keepers of the Law# 1:24 Keepers of the Law(lit.: “Pharisees”) - a religious party that was distinguished by strict implementation of the laws of Taurat, adherence to the customs of their ancestors and strict adherence to ritual purity.. 25 They asked:# 1:24-25 Or: “Then those sent by the guardians of the Law 25 were interrogated.”
– If you are not Masih, not Ilyas and not the Prophet, then why are you performing the ritual of immersion in water over the people?# 1:25 Or: “ablution ritual”; also in Art. 26, 28, 31 and 33.?
26 Yahiya answered them:
“I only perform the ritual by immersing it in water.” But among you stands One whom you do not know.27 He is the One who will come after me, and I am not even worthy to untie the thongs of His sandals.
Isa Masih - Sacrificial Lamb of the Almighty
29 The next day, Yahiya saw Jesus coming towards him and said:
– Here is the Sacrificial Lamb of the Most High, Who will take away the sin of the world!30 It was about Him that I said: “He who comes after me is above me, because He existed before me.”31 I myself did not know who He was, but I performed the ritual of immersion in water so that He would be revealed to Israel.
32 And Yahiya confirmed his words:
– I saw how the Spirit descended on Him from heaven in the form of a dove and how He remained on Him.33 I would not have recognized Him if He who sent me to perform the rite of immersion in water had not told me: “On Whom the Spirit descends and on Whom it remains, He will immerse people in the Holy Spirit# 1:33 Or: “to wash the hearts of people with the Holy Spirit.”». 34 I have seen this and testify that He is the Son of the Most High (Masih) # 1:34 See footnote at 1:14.!
The first disciples of Isa Masih
35 The next day, Yahiya again stood with two of his disciples.36 Seeing Jesus walking, he said:
– Here is the Sacrificial Lamb of the Most High!
37 Both disciples, hearing these words, followed Isa.38 Jesus turned around and saw that they were following Him.
- What would you like? - he asked.
– Rabbi (which means “teacher”), tell me, where do you live? - they asked.
39 “Follow Me, and you will see for yourself,” said Jesus.
It was about four o'clock in the afternoon. They went, saw where He lived, and stayed with Him until the evening of that day.
40 One of the two who heard Yahia's words about Jesus and followed Him was Shimon Petyr's brother, Ander.41 He found his brother Shimon and said:

Introduction
The book Beginning serves as an introduction to all of Scripture. This book lives up to its name, because it tells about the very beginning of the world and humanity, created perfect by the Almighty (chap. 1-2); about the beginning of sin, which entered the world as a result of the disobedience of the first people (chapter 3); and about the beginning of the implementation of the Almighty’s plan to save humanity from sin. When the first people, Adam and Eve, disobeyed the command of the Most High, they lost the most important thing they had: a close relationship with the Most High (3:8). But the Almighty, in His mercy, promised that in the future a Savior (i.e. Isa Masih) will be born, who will be a descendant of Eve. He will destroy Satan, who deceived Adam and Eve in the form of the serpent, and free the world from the curse of sin (3:15). Preparation for the coming of the Savior is the main theme of this book.
Although in subsequent generations most people fell into grave sins by disobeying the Most High and received the punishment they deserved (eg, 6:5–7), there were those who recognized the Creator and truly worshiped Him. One of these people was the prophet Ibrahim, an elderly and childless man from a family of idolaters (see Yesh. 24:2), whom the Almighty called to leave his family and country and follow Him (12:1). The Almighty entered into a sacred agreement with him and promised to give him the land of Canaan and numerous descendants, through which all the nations of the world would be blessed (12:2-3; 15:4-7; 17:8). In the Injil we see the fulfillment of these promises through Jesus the Messiah, a descendant of Abraham: by His atoning sacrifice He opened the way to salvation from sin for all the nations of the earth (see Matt. 1:1; Rom. 4; Gal. 3:6-14).
The prophet Ibrahim actually had many sons (16:15; 21:1–3; 25:1–2), but, according to the word of the Almighty, only one of them was the heir to the sacred agreement (17:19). However, the Almighty also blessed Ibrahim’s son Ismail, promising to produce from him a great nation (17:20). The next heir to the sacred agreement was Yaqub, the youngest son of Isaac (25:23; 27:27–29). And the twelve sons of Jacob gave rise to the twelve generations of the people of Israel (49:1-28). The most famous among his brothers was Yusuf, who remained faithful to the Almighty in all the great trials that befell him. The Almighty chose him to save the entire family from hunger (chap. 37; 39–45). The book ends with Yakub's entire family moving to Egypt, which does not seem to correspond to the fulfillment of the promises of the Almighty. In fact, this was a necessary stage in the fulfillment of the Almighty’s plan (chapter 46).
The book Beginning describes historical events from the creation of the world until approximately the first half of the 2nd millennium BC. e.

world creation
1 In the beginning, the Most High created the heavens and the earth. 2 The earth was empty and featureless, darkness was over the deep, and the Spirit of the Most High hovered over the waters.
3 And the Most High said, “Let there be light,” and light appeared. 4 The Most High saw that the light was good and separated it from the darkness. 5 He called the light “day” and the darkness “night.” And there was evening and there was morning - the first day.
6 And the Most High said: “Let there be a vault between the waters to separate water from water.” 7 The Most High created the arch and separated the water under the arch from the water above it; and it became so. 8 And He called the vault “heaven.” And there was evening, and there was morning - the second day.
9 And the Most High said: “Let the waters under the sky be gathered together, and let dry land appear.” And so it became. 10 He called the dry land “earth,” and the gathered waters he called “seas.” And the Almighty saw that it was good. 11 And He said: “Let the earth produce vegetation: plants with their seeds and various kinds of trees on the earth that bear fruit with a seed in them.” And so it became. 12 The earth produced vegetation: all kinds of plants that bear seed, and all kinds of trees that bear fruit with seed inside. And the Almighty saw that it was good. 13 And there was evening and there was morning—the third day.
14 And the Most High said: “Let there be lights in the firmament to separate day from night, and let them serve as signs to distinguish times, days and years, 15 and let them be lamps in the firmament to give light on the earth.” And so it became. 16 The Most High created two great lights - the great light to rule the day, and the little light to rule the night, and He also created the stars. 17 The Most High placed them in the firmament to give light on the earth, 18 to rule day and night and to separate light from darkness. And the Almighty saw that it was good. 19 And there was evening and there was morning—the fourth day.
20 And the Most High said: “Let the water be filled with living creatures, and let birds fly over the earth across the sky.” 21 The Almighty created huge sea creatures, different types of moving creatures swarming in the water, and different types of winged birds. And He saw that it was good. 22 The Most High blessed them and said: “Be fruitful and multiply, fill the waters of the seas, and let the birds multiply on the earth.” 23 And there was evening and there was morning—the fifth day.

26 Then the Most High said: “Let us create man b - Our image and Our likeness ( spiritually), - let him reign over the fish of the sea and the birds of the air, over the livestock, over all the earth and over all the creeping things.” 27 Thus the Most High created man in His own image, in the image of the Most High He created them, He created them male and female.
28 The Most High blessed them and said: “Be fruitful and multiply; fill the earth and subdue it. Reign over the fish of the sea, and over the birds of the air, and over every creeping thing.”
29 Then the Most High said: “I give you every plant with seed in all the earth, and every tree that bears fruit with a seed in it; they will be your food. 30 And to every beast of the earth, and to every bird of the air, and to every creeping thing, to everything in which life breathes, I give every green thing for food.” And so it became.
31 The Most High looked at everything that He had created, and everything was very good. And there was evening and there was morning - the sixth day.
Notes
a Start 1:1 Almighty- in the original language: “Elohim” is a word related to the Arabic “Allah”. See Appendix V.
b Start 1:26 Or: “the human race”; in the original language: “adam” (see also 3:20).
1 Thus was completed the creation of the heavens and the earth and all that fills them.
2 By the seventh day the Most High finished the work He had done, and on the seventh day He rested from all His work. 3 The Most High blessed the seventh day and sanctified it, because on this day He rested from His work, which He had done and completed.
Adam and Eve in the Garden of Eden
4 This is the account of the creation of heaven and earth. When the Eternal God created the earth and the heavens, 5 there was not yet any bush of the field or grass of the field on the earth, because the Eternal God did not send rain to the earth, and there was no man to cultivate the soil, 6 only steam rose from the earth and irrigated its entire surface. 7 Then the Eternal God created man from the dust of the earth b and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life c, and man became a living being.
