The Old Testament was written in a mixture of Hebrew and Aramaic, the New Testament was written in Greek. Aramaic was probably the mother tongue of Jesus and the apostles so the gospels, which were probably written originally in Greek are already translations before they get written down.

Answer

The Hebrew Bible or Old Testament/Covenant was written primarily in Hebrew and some parts in Aramaic. The additional New Testament/Covenant was written primarily in Greek with an early Latin version. Today the entire Bible is written into most all languages of the world.

As Moses is usually credited with the compilation/writting of the earliest books of the Bible, it is quite possible that these events were given to him by God or had been previously written on clay tablets and past down to him.

If the tablet theory is correct then each main player in the 12 genealogies of stories in the Book of Genesis would have been written in perhaps another language or higher level language. Most scholars agree that language began at this higher level and devolved into successive lower levels to our present day languages.

AnswerIt depends on the book within the Bible.

Most of the Old Testament was written in Hebrew, although a few small sectionswere written in Aramaic.

The New Testaent was written in Greek.

AnswerThe Old Testament (from Genesis to Malachi) was almost entirely written in Hebrew - an ancient form/dialect of Hebrew that is rather unlike that spoken in Israel today. In addition to this there were some short passages written in Aramaic - an ancient language similar to Arabic, and still spoken in parts of Syria today.

The New Testament - from Matthew to Revelation was written in an old form of Greek - again, rather different (as is, say, Shakesperian English and modern English) from the Greek spoken in Greece today.
