What language/text was the Bible originally written in?

Question

And what language was it 1st translated to?

Answer 1

the old testament is preserved in hebrew, though some of the later parts of it may have originally been composed in aramaic.

the new testament is all in greek (the koine dialect), though again it is possible that a few of the epistles may be translated from aramaic originals.

the first translation of the bible was the septuagint, when the whole of the bible was translated into greek.

the latin translation (the vulgate) is nearly two hundred years after the septuagint. the vulgate qualifies as technically the first full translation because in the septuagint the new testament was not translated, but left in its original greek.

Answer 2

Originally Aramaic and then Hebrew and of course Greek

Answer 3

It was written in pieces, by different people. So initially it was written in Aramaic, Greek, maybe Latin for later texts. Many languages existed at the time but Greek was used as a standard for the educated, no matter what your native tongue was you learned Greek so you could write and speak with others.

Answer 4

The first part of the bible, was to acquaint us with God, His purpose, and His dealings with a chosen nation of people. It also served as a springboard to the Greek scriptures, which introduced christianity. Both sets of scriptures are in agreement, the greek scriptures reference the hebrew ones constantly. There were prophesies in both that had amazing fulfillment, and some that we see being fulfilled right now, as well as the ones in the future, that we're looking forward to. The only way these bible writers could have had such agreement, is if the author of the bible were one person, using others to write His thoughts and messages to humans. Holy spirit was used by God. The bible isn't proof of God. God proves Himself. The bible is the message that He used to communicate with us. It's like the owners manual for human beings.
