Then how come they dont translate it into jibberish. Or is that the original language to begin with?

At this time, the Bible (or at least portions on it) have been translated into about 70% of the still in use languages on earth. This covers about 95% of all people. The remaining language either have such a small population that only a handful of people read and speak it, or they have no written language.
In many cases, the Bible translators have had to "invent" a way to write as language, as it was only spoken and not written.
The largest group currently doing Bible translation is the Wycliffe translators. Name for first person to translate the Bible into English in the 1500s.
One of the more interesting languages into which the Bible has been translated is the Klingon language invented for Star Trek.

The Bible is the best selling book, and is the only Book translated into every language. By the was gibberish is not a language, its only used by those that don't know how to use a language.

I'm still learning how to speak fluent jibberish. Damn irregular verbs.
There are many languages in the world that do not have a written form
