How to find the Bible in a particular language
Yesterday, I received an email from a man who identified himself as a Pakistani Christian. He was interested in having the Bible in Urdu and in Punjabi. I wrote back to him today, and I thought that some of the information I shared with him might be beneficial to others as well.
So, how can you find the Bible in a particular language?
- The International Bible Society has several New Testaments and Bibles in major languages available online for free.
- Ethnic Harvest provides information about accessing the Bible and other Christian materials in over 250 languages. They link to free online texts, audio and video resources, and books available for purchase.
- You can contact the Bible Society in the country where you live to ask about Bibles in various languages.
- Also, you can stream the JESUS Film in dozens of languages both large and small.
Oh, and if you’re curious, you can download the Bible in Urdu courtesy of the IBS.

Very helpful, dude. I’ve been meaning to research this for some time now.

I’ve also ordered several Indian-language bibles from http://www.multilanguage.com, and have had good success.

As I’ve poked at this further, I’ve found that if you’re looking for print copies at reasonable prices then you really have to go to the American Bible Society’s page for most international translations. The other resources are fine, but they sometimes point to dead links and resources that really only help people online.
