The word Tanakh is an acronym or contraction of three words:

Torah, Neviim and Ketuvim. Torah refers to the 5 books of Moses, Genesis through Deuteronomy. Neviim means prophets, and refers to books like Isaiah and Hosea. Ketuvim means writings, and refers to books like Ruth and Job.

All of the books of the Hebrew Bible, what Protestants call the Old Testament, are included in the Tanakh.

As soon as the Tanakh (Hebrew Bible) was translated (270 BCE) - and every time afterwards, changes were made. The original Tanakh is only the Hebrew text, which has never changed. Translations are never perfectly accurate, especially because the Tanakh contains levels of meaning.
