Welcome to Lao Bible Online - ພຣະຄຳພີ ລາວ

The purpose of this website is to make freely available on-line the Bible and biblical resources in Lao language.

An international team of pastors and translators has recently revised and completed the 1979 version of the "Shorter Old Testament" (published by the Thai Bible Society in 1991), mainly using a literal (rather than "dynamic equivalent") approach to translation.

This translation is intended to complement (rather than replace) other available translations, which have mostly been translated from simple language English versions.

The translated text has been carefully checked, but no translation is perfect, so please email us if you notice missing verses or other errors.

Please note: Different sections of the Old and New Testament have been translated from different English versions, so the Lao text may not exactly correspond to the English text of a particular version.
