The Bible was originally transcribed from the three most prominent languages that were being used at the time which was mainly Hebrew, Greek and Armaic.
It was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic.
The Old Testament books were mostly written in Hebrew with some in Aramaic, the New Testament was probably originally in Koine Greek, but some people believe that the books were originally written in Aramaic. Aramaic was day to day spoken language of Israel between 516 BCE and 70 AD and therefore the native language of Jesus. However, the earliest version of most of the New Testament is Greek so most of the Gospels in English are translations from Aramaic to Greek to English.
