The World Bible

This page has links to non-English translations of the Bible at sacred-texts in (primarily) modern languages. Most of these pages require that your browser support Unicode. Some of these translations are (partial), or of the New Testament (NT) only. Many of these files, derived from data provided by the The Unbound Bible site, are of unknown publication date, and hence of unknown copyright status. We have identified known editions where possible. Editions in the public domain in the US are marked with (*).
