The India edition · वेद पुस्तक

The Holy Bible in Your Mother Tongue

India is home to more than a thousand languages, and for most believers the words of Scripture reach the heart most deeply in the language they first learned to pray in. Christ Songs .IN brings the complete Holy Bible — all sixty-six books — to nine Indian languages, chapter by chapter, with the English translation beside every verse. Free, no registration, and built to load quickly wherever you are in India.

When Scripture is read in a borrowed language it can feel like listening through a wall. Read in your own — in Hindi, in Malayalam, in Telugu or Bengali — the same words carry warmth, memory and the sound of home. That is why this edition leads with your language rather than English, and keeps English only a tap away for study and comparison.

Every language here is a complete Bible, not a sampler: from Genesis through the Psalms and the Gospels to Revelation, roughly thirty-one thousand verses in each. Whether you are following a daily reading plan, preparing a message, or looking up a single verse a friend shared, you can move chapter by chapter in the script you read most naturally.

One verse, nine languages

Perhaps the best-loved words of comfort in all of Scripture — Psalm 23:1, "The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want." — read here in the languages of India. Tap any language to open the full chapter.

Why we built this

Good, complete Bibles in Indian languages are surprisingly hard to read comfortably online — often locked in slow apps, scanned images or paywalls. We wanted the opposite: open the page and read, in your own language, on any device, for free.

This edition focuses on readers within India — the fonts, the load speed and the choice of passages are all tuned for that. The wider global edition lives at christsongs.org.
