The original was in Sanskrit. It's been translated into just about every written language currently in use.

The original in sanskrit then translated in many languages.
The Sanskrit language (सà¤à¤¸à¥à¤à¥à¤¤à¤ saá¹ská¹tam, सà¤à¤¸à¥à¤à¥à¤¤à¤¾ वाà¤à¥ saá¹ská¹tÄ vÄk) is a classical language of India, a liturgical language of Hinduism, Buddhism, and Jainism, and one of the 22 official languages of India.
It has a position in culture of South and Southeast Asia similar to that of Latin and Greek in Europe, and is a central part of Hindu tradition and Philosophy. It appears in pre-Classical form as the Chandas language (appearing in the Vedas) with the language of the Rigveda being the oldest and most archaic stage preserved. This fact and comparative studies in historical linguistics show that it is from one of the earliest attested members of the Indo-European language family and descends from the same.
Today, Sanskrit is used as a ceremonial language in Hindu religious rituals in the forms of hymns and mantras. The vast literary tradition of Sanskrit in the form of the Hindu scriptures and the philosophical writings are also studied. The corpus of Sanskrit literature encompasses a rich tradition of poetry and literature, as well as scientific, technical, philosophical and religious texts
