Holy Bible: Modern Language Translations

As we noted on the opening page of this area of our site, the whole Bible is at present available in around 425 languages, the full New Testament in about 1100, and smaller portions in at least another 850. This covers the vast majority of the world's approximately six and a half billion people. It is estimated that around 200 million people still have no part of the Bible, mostly in small language groups; hundreds of translation projects are currently ongoing. There are more than 6,900 known living languages in the world.

We do not attempt in these pages to provide access to a very wide range of languages, but here are a few.

                  Spanish                          French                          German                      Portuguese

For a much wider range of translations and editions of the Bible in other languages, click here for the Bible Society (in a new page).

For those who like to carry their Bibles around with them in their handheld computers or mobile phones, the ESV is available for several major models using the Olive Tree BibleReader.
