PDFs for reading and printing
Take the Open English Translation with you: save a book to your device, read a whole collection offline, or print a copy to share. Start with the Readers’ Version for everyday reading, or choose the parallel edition to explore the Literal Version alongside it.
These are draft v0.48.97 PDFs in OET book order. The colour B5 files suit screen reading; the black-and-white print files come in B5, A4 and Letter. All links are clickable, and print copies show full web addresses. For paper copies, print at actual size on both sides, with long-edge binding.
Downloads are served by Open Bible Data. The deuterocanonical and other books are early drafts: parallel editions pair them by chapter, so their verses and lines may differ. Each PDF notes any unavailable version; RV-only downloads contain the books available in the RV.
Parallel reading edition
Two complementary translations, with matched sections to help you compare as you read.
