A small portion is, yes.
The whole Bible is written in three languages.
Aramaic, spoken by the Aramaeans, is an ancient Semitic language with close ties to Hebrew (though the language itself is different, it uses the same letters in its alphabet and is also written from right to left)
Formerly called Chaldee, it is found in Ezra 4:8 - 6:18and 7:12-26; Jeremiah 10:11; and parts of Daniel 2:4 - 7:28.
The rest of the OT is written in Hebrew.
The NT is written primarily in Greek (it is believed that Matthew was written in Hebrew)
