Bibles in Other Languages: Which One Do You Choose?

Search by language

Choose a language and view the Bibles in our selection. With each edition you will find the translation, format and advice for the reader.

For example, are you looking for Arabic, Ukrainian or Farsi? View the options at City Bibles.

First ask about the reader's language

Someone's country of residence or origin does not automatically determine which language someone likes to read. Ask personally: in which language do you read books, which script do you use and do you already know a Bible translation? A person can speak several languages ​​but be comfortable reading in only one language.

For example, write English, Arabic, Ukrainian or Farsi if the reader indicates so. Also check the language variant. A cover with a well-known language name does not in itself guarantee that the text fits.

Choose the right content and format

Ask whether the reader wants the complete Bible or would prefer to start with the New Testament. A single Gospel contains a smaller part of the Bible. When giving a gift, explain clearly what the book includes.

Alongside language, consider print size, book size and reading experience. A Dutch children’s Bible is not necessarily the right choice for an adult learning Dutch. Reading in their own language may be a better starting point. Also read our advice for a Bible gift.

Opportunities at City Bibles

City Bibles focuses on Bible distribution in different languages ​​and also supports customized projects. You can inquire about the desired language, translation and version. A language in an overview does not mean that every edition is immediately available.

Please indicate in your question who you are looking for, which language variant is desired and whether it concerns one copy or several. Please confirm availability, any minimum quantities and total costs.
