There is an official BoM in Arabic. It was translated in the 1980s. Just go to the LDS Catalog:

Not at this time. I am sure it won’t be long before one is available. At this time, the Church website (www.lds.org) has the Scriptures in Danish, German, English, Spanish, French, Hungarian, Italian, Dutch, and Portuguese. It won’t be long, I am sure. Please be patient. When it comes available, we will let everyone know!

Yes, you can. Go to above link, place cursor over the number, right click and look for “save link as” button in the drop down menu. You should have a pop up dialog box showing you the download folder on your computer. Just click save and it should download fairly quick depending on your download speed.

Samuel, it looks like that website has been removed. You can download the Book of Mormon in French on this website or through LDS.org. If you wish the Book of Mormon in French in audio format, it is currently not available on the Church website, but should be offered at some time in the future.

At the moment I don’t find the scriptures in French in audio format. On the Church website I see there are audio formats for Spanish, Portuguese, and English. Hopefully French will be available soon. You can check this for yourself at http://lds.org/mp3/newarchive/0,18615,5249-1,00.html . I don’t find anything in the listings at the Distribution Center.

Geody, I have started typing the Book of Mormon in Afrikaans, but have not gotten very far. If your friend is serving a mission where he is required to speak Afrikaans, he will receive a copy of the scriptures in that language at the MTC. Most people in South Africa speak English. My friends in South Africa have said that they do have a Book of Mormon in Afrikaans, but they don’t use it, as they use English.

Why not scan the scriptures, then OCR them?
Because I just moved from Spain to Odgen, I don’t have my scanner any more.. would that be of help? I have the scriptures in Spanish, but this might be a way to get the other languages relativly easily.
I know a year ago, while in Spain (was not a missionary there) I had a need for a BOM in Russian.. but was out of luck.
I like what your doing here.
Alan Whitcomb
January 27, 2009 at 9:56 p
Thank you Alan. I tried scanning them with OCR, but it did not work very well. The accents and special characters don’t come through. It was more work than typing. I’ve tried for years to get help with my project, but no one wants to help me. I’d love to get the Afrikaans, Haitian Creole, and Tahitian versions typed in Word.
I have not attempted to do languages like Russian and Greek, since they use a different alphabet. I have quite a few languages to work from in my home, due to my collection of Book of Mormons. I work on them as I have time and energy. I started out with French, Spanish, and German. When I started it was very hard to find any language other than English on the internet.
Uft36 and I got together when we discovered we had a similar idea. We are sharing ideas and helping each other, but I still need help with getting the last few languages typed. If you want to help, you are welcome to. Just let me know.
Susan

I just learned today that 3 more languages are online at http://www.lds.org. Now you can read the Book of Mormon and D&C online in Finnish, Norwegian, and Swedish. More languages are being added regularly. Just go to http://scriptures.lds.org/ and click on the language link on the right to choose the language of your choice. The default says English (at least for me).

Um, I am sure I’m going to live to regret this, but I did learn a bit of Afrikaans and I’ve been looking for a way to force myself to do the BoM chapter by chapter, verse by verse. I’ve recently tried with Russian and Greek, but I’m still too new with those languages to be very successful. I would be willing to volunteer to work on the Afrikaans version but think it work best if I had a proof-reader, since I don’t trust myself THAT well. I will need some time to get a copy

July 29, 2009 at 5:01 p
When I received Susan’s message, I exchanged emails with her and just assumed that she was responsible for the website. Sorry, uft36, hope I didn’t step on any toes! Susan has shared the 1/4 of Die Boek of Mormon transcription and I should have a hard copy of die Boek early next week. Once I get started actually transcribing, I can set some goals and provide an estimate of a finish date.
I believe very strongly in this work, even if there are other ways for folks to get either a hard copy or online version of the Scriptures. While the official Church website is a wonderful tool, I have a dial-up connection and prefer local copies of documents I access regularly. I also know there are other people out there who might only have access to the Internet at work or for only an hour or two a day on a public terminal. If they can save the file to a disk, they might still be able to read it on a palm, phone, or older computer. Maybe they just want to print a couple pages….whatever the need, I’m all for making the Word available in as many formats and languages as possible! I would also not be surprised if certain countries block access to the official Church websites, but maybe citizens can still access the versions included on pages like this one.
Depending on how Afrikaans goes, I might be willing to volunteer to work on another version, especially if it isn’t available on the Church site just yet. As I mentioned to Susan, I do have both a Russian and Greek Book of Mormon though I’m just starting to study both languages.
Thomas
July 31, 2009 at 7:35 p
Hi, Thomas! No, you didn’t step on any toes. Susan is the main person to go to for any questions on the international versions of the Book of Mormon. You and others like you are the main reason I originally started this website. I wanted to provide electronic versions for anyone with older computers and have difficulty obtaining a copy because of restrictions, whatever they may be. Finding Susan’s international versions expanded my goal of reaching countries that have difficulties in obtaining their versions, also. I envisioned missionaries in certain Arab countries giving electronic versions of the Book of Mormon instead of hard copies where they may be illegal to have. I hope you get to the Russian version soon because I have been wanting that version for a long time. I feel that this has been needed for a long time in that country. Thank you for all your help.

I was wondering if anyone knew where I could get a BofM in that language or a place I could listen to it online, so I can get familiar with the language before I leave. I speak a little french and when I was looking at the language, it was way different. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

The Church does not have a Book of Mormon in the Macedonian language of makedonski jazik; but there is a translation in Slovencina and Slovenscina, which are considered dialects of the Macedonian languages. So far, the Church does not have any members in Macedonia, so has not had a need to translate the Book of Mormon into the language.

Mariya, the Book of Mormon is available in Bulgarian through the Church Distribution Center. You can find it at http://www.store.lds.org. It is Item #34406112 and costs $3 (US). It took me a few minutes to figure out how to find it, since the new website is different from the old one. If you put in the item number, it will take you to a page that shows the Book of Mormon. There is a dropdown menu that says Language. Click on the arrow and scroll down to find Bulgarian.
I hope that this is helpful to you.

I rumor having heard that Joseph Smith said that Navaho is the language closest to the Adamic language. Whether this can be proven or not proven can we find out whether anyone would want to help get this language published in text and audio online?
PaulPablo777
December 22, 2010 at 1:17 p
PaulPablo, I do not know if Joseph Smith said this or not. The Church decides which languages to translate the Book of Mormon into. I don’t know what criteria they use to make this decision, but they know when it is time to translate into a specific language. The goal is to have the Book of Mormon translated into the majority of the world’s languages so that everyone on the Earth will be able to read the Book of Mormon in their own language.

Luke
April 17, 2012 at 11:25 p
Luke, it is commendable that you want to help with this, but it is up to the Church, not individuals, to decide which languages to translate the Book of Mormon into. As a rule, from what I understand, the Church looks at the various languages, and native speakers. Native Americans mostly speak English, and many learn some of the native languages of their tribes. I live in an area where we have many Mohawks. None of the youth of the tribe speak Mohawk, or even have a desire to learn the language. Those who can teach the language are few, and will be gone before too much longer. I do not know much about the Navajo, if they teach their language to their young, how many speak the language, etc. Our Church leaders are in the best position to decide whether or not there is a need for the Book of Mormon in Navajo.
Susan
April 17, 2012 at 12:04 p
The Book of Mormon is available in Navajo. I have a copy of the cassettes from some 20 years ago, but it is only “part of the BoM”. A guy in my ward went on his mission to the Navajo Nation, but didn’t have a full version avalable then (he went in the mid-70′s, though).
I seriously doubt Joseph Smith made any comments about Navajo (for logistical reasons, mostly).
Navajo is an Athabasken language, with roots and related langauges and dialects all the way up the west coast of North America, and down the east coast of Russia/Siberia. There are some linguists who postulate that Korean is a distant relative to Navajo. I know there are some similar sounding words in Japanese and Navajo (whose meanings aren’t at all similar), but that is no “proof” of relatedness between Japanes and Navajo. There is a native Navajo speaker in my ward, and she tells me the Navajo Nation is one of the few Native American groups (in the US, at least) that actively strives to keep the language alive. But, regardless, the Book of Mormon has been in print for several years. I don’t know about soft copy formats, though. In this day of e-readers, it would be nice to have one, though!

It would be interesting to know what the authorities of the church do when they receive revelation. I know the process to listen to the Spirit and I know too that Elder Bednar does WORK to find out what he knows and through the process the Lord gives him strength and revelation. I sustain the brethren.
I wonder: which people are involved in this process in the spirit of this website?
I want to sustain and this is the spirit in which I inquire.

Aramaic and Latin question. I know the Bible has Latin and Hebrew bases. When we read the Bible and look at the original meanings associated with many specific word associations and when we can pull historical and cultural facts all together it helps broaden our understanding.
Likewise if the Book of Mormon was derived from Aramaic can we gain some insight from seeing it in Aramaic? In Isaiah, for example there are multiple times we see dual meanings. I know the English version was originally written in Hebrew and Aramaic or so I learned and then written in reformed Egyptian and that the translation from Joseph Smith was divine. Furthermore, can we derive a more complete full meaning by going back to the Aramaic language?
PaulPablo777
December 22, 2010 at 1:33 p
PaulPablo, English is a Germanic language, it is not based on Latin, though some of our prefixes and suffixes have Latin roots. The Bible was originally written in Aramaic, Hebrew, and Greek, and subsequently translated into Latin, and English (as well as many other languages). Our English translation was made from the Hebrew, as I understand it.
The Book of Mormon peoples spoke Hebrew and wrote the Book of Mormon in Reformed Egyptian. The translation into English was done under divine inspiration. There would be no purpose for the Church to translate the Book of Mormon into Aramaic or Latin, since very few people today can read Latin. It is not a spoken language. And there would be no purpose to translate the Book of Mormon into Aramaic just so that we could “derive a more complete” understanding. How could we, since we don’t speak that language. We would find no benefit at all. We can only derive a more complete understanding by reading it in a language that we understand, which for me is English.
Susan
December 22, 2010 at 7:27 p
Susan,
You might be surprised at how much Latin is in English. Please don’t misunderstand: I’m not saying that Latin is terribly relevant or accessible, but it is a huge part of our beloved first language, English.
You are correct: English is a germanic language, and not a romance language. That said, most of the English vocabulary came to be taken from Latin roots. Even in the cases where words we use come from the Spanish, French, or Italian, even they all originated in Latin. Several studies have placed words taken from Latin and Latin-based languages at 50-60% of the English vocabulary.
Personally, I think it would be fantastic if the Book of Mormon were to be translated into Latin, as Latin is being learned and used more and more by scholars and entusiasts alike around the world, from lowly and informal settings like internet forums and chatrooms to formal wedding ceremonies and speeches.
I would love to have another precious volume of scripture made available in one of the most wonderful languages to exist, even if it’s not officially sanctioned by the Church.
Ti. Cassius Atellus
April 25, 2013 at 9:56 p
And although somewhat a dead language it would be cool to see Latin word equivalents. Anyone want to publish Moroni 7 and 10 for starts? I may do an Isaiah chapter upcoming…
I like the simplicity of Nephi (like milk) and the broad depth of Isaiah (meat). It’s wonderful that the Book of Mormon can be studied from a multitude of angles.
PaulPablo777
December 22, 2010 at 1:55 p
PaulPablo, you seem to be obsessed with Latin. If you can speak and read Latin, that’s wonderful. Latin is the basis for the Romance languages, which includes Italian, French, Portuguese, and Spanish, among others. English, on the other hand is a Germanic language, which include German, Dutch, English, and Yiddish, among others. Many of the prefixes and suffixes have Latin roots, and many words have been borrowed from the Romance languages.
There is no point in trying to translate the Book of Mormon into Latin, since it is not a spoken language in the world. Latin is a dead language, spoken only by scholars and clergy.
If translating the Book of Mormon into Latin would benefit you, then by all means do so for your own benefit, but how could it benefit anyone who does not know the language? And, how could it benefit anyone any better than the person’s native language would?
Perhaps what would be more beneficial would be to look up words that you do not know and write down synonyms for them in parenthesis after the word.
Susan
December 22, 2010 at 7:35 p
Susan,
Many church scholars delve into synonyms from other languages as a legitimate way to attach more truth to what was previously a more singular interpretation of a word or concept. I appreciate what you do here. May I add something that may come across critical with the intention of explaining myself? It sounds condescending to say “obsessed”–it’s disrespectful even though your intentions are probably good aside from the mixup. True there may be little point in translating into Latin although, but your suggestion to write down synonyms is a great suggestion. In fact, many scholars help draw out meaning from historical context. I hope you would not dismiss the legitimacy of doing that although “no point” does not given any credit to the benefit derived.
Looking at one word we may see just one example of how this applies. When we look at the word “charity” we can get a deeper understanding of the word given that, caritas was the Latin translation for the Greek word agapē, “an unlimited loving-kindness to all others”. Perhaps that unlimited love is conditional, yet it certainly gives respect to views that are not fully understood. So while seeing “no point” and while “obsessed” may be termed in ways to claim knowledge on an unexplained principle, there are many benefits to having the Book of Mormon in other languages (just as word translations). I can see you gave credit to that aspect. If someone explains something partially it is good to try to find out what the person is saying instead of saying “no point” or “obsessed”. The idea of Zionism is to come together and be one. This is what I would like to see happen.
Furthermore, I have seen translations of a particular word into other languages in scripture and I have noticed a more clear understanding of the word. It is helpful to have multiple interpretations on a given word so that we can be inspired as to the meaning of the word. This is what I meant to share and while I’m critical I can also say I share it with a love for God, a love for you and others and what you do to help. The benefit I derive from this site is to help me see the Book of Mormon from more than one linguistic perspective.

Bethany

No, I don’t have an e-version in Greek. Since Greek uses a completely different alphabet, it would be difficult for me to type it! You can order a Greek edition through store.lds.org. It is item #30922133, and costs $3 (US).
If you wish to type the Greek edition of the Book of Mormon, we would be very happy to make it available through this website.

This item number is just a regular English copy of the Book of Mormon. Can you please provide a link?

correction: I thought I would clarify before you got to it: It IS English, but you can select a drop down for Greek. Thank you for the effort of making it available on this site as a reference!

PaulPablo, the item number for the Greek version is #30922133, for the English version it is 30922000. The last 3 digits indicate the language. You are correct in noting that you have to select the language from the dropdown menu. This was confusing the first time I went looking for a specific language. Thank you for pointing out this one step.

BYU-Idaho has a great Audio version of the French Book of Mormon. It wasn’t approved by the Church, but students can get it. They also have a few other versions. The cost is about $3 from their media copy shop.

I just called the School; it sounds like you must know a student or teacher in order to purchase one. It is, however, a wonderful resource and worth the $3-4.

“Great are the words of Isaiah.” Our Savior Jesus encouraged us in the Book of Mormon to study Isaiah it is good to note the legitimacy of multiple meanings and dualism that Isaiah had flowering in his poetic meanings throughout his prophetic warnings and testimony of Christ.
I thought it was interesting to see how half way down the page you will see multiple cultural meanings of legitimate differing translations. This applies to the Bible, but the same principles apply to the Book of Mormon:

You can download the Book of Mormon in many languages right here, just look to the top of this page for links to the different languages that are available.
Audio files of some languages are available on the Church website, at http://www.lds.org.

I’m looking for a Tagalog Book of Mormon *AUDIO* version. Does anyone have any ideas if one exists? I couldn’t find one through the distribution center so I’m looking for an unofficial audio version.

Thanks,

Yes hi, I would REALLY Appreciate it if a version of the BoM was in Japanese with audio here. please comment back soon.

Ezra, We are glad that you found this site. It’s great that you want to have the Scriptures in Japanese, but typing in Japanese is difficult for those of us who do not know the language. It takes a special font set to type in Japanese, which is much different from the Latin fonts that we are familiar with.
You can read the scriptures in Japanese by visiting http://scriptures.lds.org/jpn . You can download the audio files at http://lds.org/mp3/display/0,18692,5297-78,00.html .
The new Church website takes a bit of getting used to. I had a hard time finding the audio files!

I am so excited to download the Audio Book of Mormon in German.
I have downloaded both ipod & mp3 versions on my Samsung Galaxy S2 Skyrocket, but both say they are not compatible?
Any ideas for me?
tyler hincy
January 29, 2012 at 1:28 p
From what I understand, MP3 should be compatible with everything. I have no idea. Perhaps you need to check with the manufacturer, or where you bought it and ask why it won’t play MP3 files. I’ve never seen an iPOD, so know absolutely nothing about them.

The tagalog is wrong. Its not kaanata, its kabanata. Which means chapter in english.
snorlax
May 1, 2012 at 12:06 p
The tagalog is wrong…. I’m glad you pointed this out even though I don’t know who was so kind to translate it (the LDS church?). I have a question: How much of the Tagolog book is correct other than the kaanata? I see you probably want to help. It’s “wrong” seems to infer that the whole book is wrong. Do you mean that when you see the word kaanata it should be kabanata?
PaulPablo

The LDS Church has a large committee that is in charge of translations. They use native speakers, as well as people who know the language well. It is possible that I made a typo when I was copying and pasting the text into Word. I can easily go back and make the correction in my files, and redo the PDF that is shared on this website.

Thank you for the German audiobook. That’s not available on the official church website. Thank you for all the effort that went into this. I’m using it to learn the language, and it’s very helpful that you also posted the translated text that was read to make the audiobook, because that way I don’t get thrown off when the translation is a little different than the official. Thanks again!

Are you sure that is the correct version? Because I tried to read along and it didn’t seem correct

I’m not sure (I didn’t verify that it was the current translation) – I assumed that it was because it’s pretty recent…
