The Old Testament was written in Hebrew originally. The New Testament was written in Greek.

The first hand copied scriptures were in Aramaic and Hebrew. Aramaic was the language the people spoke, and Hebrew was (and still is) the language used in religion.

That's easy, the first part in Hebrew and Aramaic, and the gospels in Greek, because those r the original languages they were written in.

The old testament was written in Hebrew although some say Estrangelo Aramaic. The New Testament was written in Greek.

The original manuscripts are in Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic...
I would say it is the most accurate.
However...since I don't read Greek, Hebrew and Aramaic...I'm really glad it's been translated into English!

Aramaic is the most accurate one to the words of the Bible.

If you mean the New Testament then surely it has to be Aramaic, considering that Bible scholars have identified that as the mother tongue of Jesus (peace be upon him).
And since both Muslims and Christians are agreed that The Gospel (The Holy Injeel) was revealed to Jesus it must have been in a language that he spoke.
and God knows best.

The old testament should be in hebrew and the new testament in aramaic. The quran in arabic. And they can all be translated to every language, but the original text should be how I placed in the beginning of my response. PEACE!

I believe the earliest translations are Aramaic and Greek (but ancient Greek, which is much different than the Greek spoken today).
