Bible translations into Irish

Translations of the Bible into Irish were first printed and published in the 17th century: the New Testament, the Tiomna Nuadh, in 1602, the Old Testament, the Sean Thiomna, in 1685, and the entire Bible, the Bíobla (Old and New Testaments combined) in 1690.

Scottish Gaels used Irish translations, particularly Bedell's translation until about the 1760s, when they received their own translations.
