THE GOSPEL OF CHRIST AND, IN GENERAL, the Holy Bible are written with the inspiration of God. The Prophets and the Apostles have recorded in written form a portion of the oral teaching of the Old Testament in Hebrew and Aramaic as well as the New Testament in Greek. These are the original languages of the Holy Bible from which all the translations have been derived. God's inspiration is confined to the original languages and utterances, not the many translations. There are 1,300 languages and dialects into which the Holy Bible, in its entirety or in portions, has been translated. This does not mean that the translations do not convey the meaning of the Bible for spiritual uprightness of the readers in their own language. On the contrary, the Bible should be spread and preached to "all nations." The missionaries in foreign lands learn the language or the dialect of the new area into which they bring the Bible and other religious teachings. For example, the missionaries from Constantinople, Saints Cyril and Methodios, sent to Christianize the Slavic peoples in the 9th century, first translated the Bible and the ritual books into the language of the people.

The first 39 books were originally written in Hebrew. And the subsequent 27 books were originally Greek. Just like English is the most common language used today because the main world powers America and Great Britain speak English, so too it was back when The Bible was penned, the prominent world power was the language most commonly used and so the Bible was written in those languages.

The Old Testament was mainly written in Hebrew, though some parts were in Aramaic (which is a close relative of Hebrew). The New Testament was written in Greek.

Original old testament scrolls are written in aramaic.
Original new testament scrolls are written in Greek.
The reason they are written in Greek is found in the old testament, as the chosen ones were enslaved in Egypt for 400 years. Part of the good that came out of this was that they were educated and learned to read and write during this time.

Hebrew for the Old Testament. Greek for the New Testament. Aramaic for what Jesus actually preached to the people.
