The Torah is written in Hebrew and its true meaning, of course, can only be understood in Hebrew. However, it was later translated into many different languages. It was translated into Arabic in the 10th century by Sa'adia Gaon. See http://wiki.answers.com/Q/When_was_the_first_time_torah_translated_to_arabic
