The Holy Bible in Nine Indian Languages

Christ Songs .ORG is a free online library of the complete Holy Bible in nine Indian languages, for readers at home in India and among the millions of the diaspora abroad. Each language carries the full sixty-six books, verse by verse, with English comparison, cross references, Strong's concordance links and a fullscreen presentation mode for churches and study groups.

For a family in Kochi, a nurse in the Gulf, a student in Toronto and a grandmother in Kolkata, the same chapter of Scripture can be read tonight in the language each of them dreams in. Indian-language Christianity is old — Kerala's Saint Thomas Christians trace their faith to the first century — and today it is also one of the most widely scattered communities on earth. This edition gathers nine of those languages in one place.

Each Bible is complete and unabridged: sixty-six books, Genesis to Revelation, more than thirty-one thousand verses, in the language's own script. Alongside every verse you will find English translations to compare, cross references that trace a theme through the whole of Scripture, and links into the original Hebrew and Greek — the same tools a pastor or teacher reaches for, free to anyone.

हिंदी यूहन्ना 3:16 क्योंकि परमेश्वर ने जगत से ऐसा प्रेम रखा कि उस ने अपना एकलौता पुत्र दे दिया, ताकि जो कोई उस पर विश्वास करे, वह नाश न हो, परन्तु अनन्त जीवन पाए। മലയാളം യോഹന്നാൻ 3:16 തന്റെ ഏകജാതനായ പുത്രനിൽ വിശ്വസിക്കുന്ന ഏവനും നശിച്ചുപോകാതെ നിത്യജീവൻ പ്രാപിക്കേണ്ടതിന്നു ദൈവം അവനെ നല്കുവാൻ തക്കവണ്ണം ലോകത്തെ സ്നേഹിച്ചു. తెలుగు యోహాను సువార్త 3:16 దేవుడు లోకమును ఎంతో ప్రేమించెను. కాగా ఆయన తన అద్వితీయకుమారునిగా3 పుట్టిన వానియందు విశ్వాసముంచు ప్రతివాడును నశింపక నిత్యజీవము పొందునట్లు ఆయనను అనుగ్రహించెను. ಕನ್ನಡ ಯೋಹಾನನು 3:16 ದೇವರು ಲೋಕವನ್ನು ಎಷ್ಟೋ ಪ್ರೀತಿಮಾಡಿ ತನ್ನ ಒಬ್ಬನೇ ಮಗನನ್ನು ಕೊಟ್ಟನು; ಆತನನ್ನು ನಂಬುವ ಯಾವನಾದರೂ ನಾಶವಾಗದೆ ನಿತ್ಯಜೀವ ವನ್ನು ಪಡೆದವನಾಗಿರುವನು. ગુજરાતી યોહાન 3:16 હા, દેવે જગત પર એટલી બધી પ્રીતિ કરી કે તેણે તેનો એકનો એક દીકરો આપ્યો. દેવે તેનો દીકરો આપ્યો તેથી તેનામાં દરેક વ્યક્તિ જે વિશ્વાસ કરે તેનો નાશ ન થાય, પણ તે અનંતજીવન પામે. ਪੰਜਾਬੀ ਯੂਹੰਨਾ 3:16 ਪਰਮੇਸ਼ੁਰ ਨੇ ਜੱਗਤ ਨੂੰ ਇੰਨਾ ਪਿਆਰ ਕੀਤਾ ਅਤੇ ਉਸ ਨੇ ਉਨ੍ਹਾਂ ਨੂੰ ਆਪਣਾ ਇੱਕਲੌਤਾ ਪੁੱਤਰ ਵੀ ਦੇ ਦਿੱਤਾ। ਤਾਂ ਜੋ ਕੋਈ ਵੀ ਜੋ ਉਸ ਵਿੱਚ ਵਿਸ਼ਵਾਸ ਰੱਖਦਾ ਹੈ ਨਾਸ਼ ਨਾ ਹੋਵੇ ਸਗੋਂ ਸਦੀਪਕ ਜੀਵਨ ਪ੍ਰਾਪਤ ਕਰ ਲਵੇਗਾ। বাংলা যোহন 3:16 কারণ ঈশ্বর এই জগতকে এতোই ভালবাসেন য়ে তিনি তাঁর একমাত্র পুত্রকে দিলেন, য়েন সেই পুত্রের ওপর য়ে কেউ বিশ্বাস করে সে বিনষ্ট না হয় বরং অনন্ত জীবন লাভ করে৷ ଓଡ଼ିଆ ଯୋହନଲିଖିତ ସୁସମାଚାର 3:16 ହଁ, ପରମେଶ୍ବର ଏ ପୃଥିବୀକୁ ଏତେ ପ୍ ରମେ କଲେ ଯେ ସେ ତାହାଙ୍କ ଏକମାତ୍ର ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଦାନ କଲେ। ପରମେଶ୍ବର ତାହାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ଦାନ କଲେ ଯେପରି ତାହାଙ୍କ ପୁତ୍ରଙ୍କୁ ବିଶ୍ବାସ କରୁଥିବା ପ୍ରେତ୍ୟକକ ବ୍ଯକ୍ତି, ବିନାଶ ହବେେ ନାହିଁ, କିନ୍ତୁ ଅନନ୍ତ ଜୀବନ ପାଇବେ। नेपाली यूहन्ना 3:16 हो, परमेश्वरले संसारलाई यति साह्रो प्रेम गर्नुभयो, कि उहाँले आफ्ना एकमात्र पुत्रलाई दिनु भयो। परमेश्वरले आफ्ना पुत्रलाई दिनु भयो त्यस द्वारा उहाँमाथि विश्वास गर्ने कोहीपनि नाश हुने छैन, तर अनन्त जीवन प्राप्त गर्नेछ।

About this project

Christ Songs began as a way to keep Indian-language Scripture within reach of communities scattered far from home. Language ties a diaspora to its faith, and a Bible that reads naturally is part of holding onto both.

Everything here is free and needs no account. Readers inside India may prefer the India edition, tuned for local fonts and speed, at christsongs.in.
