Babel: Multilingual Bible

Babel puts the Bible side by side in English, Japanese, Chinese, Hebrew and Greek, one passage at a time.

TAP A WORD, SEE IT EVERYWHERE Tap any word and its matches light up in every other version. Tap "God" in Genesis 1:1 and see 神 in Japanese and Chinese and אֱלֹהִים in the Hebrew. Tap "Word" in John 1:1 and find 言, 道 and λόγος.

FOLLOW A VERSE ACROSS THE BIBLE Each passage lists its related verses, strongest first. Open one to read it in every version with the shared words lit, then jump there and back.

READ SIDE BY SIDE, IN SYNC Switch to panes to read a whole chapter in each version. Scroll one and the others keep your place.

DOWN TO THE ORIGINALS The Hebrew Old Testament and Greek New Testament are aligned word by word to the English, with transliteration.
