Welcome to the Papua New Guinea Scriptures site!PNG flag

We offer downloadable epub version 3 files for each of the Scriptures we offer text for. These electronic books are free (except, of course, for whatever you pay for Internet access), and may be freely shared. Look for the link labeled "epub" on each Bible translation's main index page. Note that epub files work with Kindle devices and apps as well as Apple Books and many other readers. We also have links to an online Browser Bible online Bible study application for each language.

Thes epub files are best opened in a reader that supports epub version 3, like:

To use these Bibles with Bible study applications that are part of the Crosswire Sword Project, set up the repository at ftp://eBible.org/pub/sword or manually unzip the Sword module files pointed to on each Bible translation's page into the Sword program's local module repository.

Papua New Guinea is linguistically the most complex nation of the world. Over 800 languages are spoken in this Pacific country. This site provides access to 261 translations of the Holy Bible or portions thereof in Papua New Guinean languages and dialects in HTML, 26 in audio format, and 2 in video format. (Some of the videos are hosted on JesusFilmMedia.org.) You are free to read, download, and share the Scriptures posted on this site according the terms given in each Bible's copyright information page.

This site is sponsored by the PNG Bible Translation Association (BTA), which is a national organisation in Papua New Guinea committed to translating the Bible into the languages of the country. You can learn more about us at the BTA web site. We trust you will enjoy visiting the png.Bible and TokPlesBaibel.org sites and wish you God’s blessing.

Some of the languages posted here have characters not found in the stock fonts that come with your computer. Please download and install the Andika font, and make sure that your browser is set to render pages using the Unicode UTF-8 character encoding.
