Nitpicking: The late Prof. Dr. Reinaldo Decoud Larrosa published «Jopare 
Pyahu», a literal translation of the NT directly from the Greek in the 
'60s; and the United Bible Societies released «Ñandejára ñe'e», a 
complete Bible translation in the dynamic equivalence system. As usual, 
there are two versones: with and without the Apocrypha 
(Deuterocanonical Books).

The Decoud Larrosa version is very hard to get, and only from 
second-hand bookstores; but you can get as much Guarani Bibles from the 
United Bible Societies as you want.
