Bible Holy Scripture (BHRisl)
This is the 11th Bible edition in Icelandic and was published in 2007. It is a new translation, the sixth since the beginning. The original languages were translated, but during review the translation committees of the Old and New Testaments - who ultimately decided what the text should be - relied on older Icelandic versions, as well as new translations from Denmark, Norway and Sweden, and then German, British and American Bibles. The translation includes the Apocryphal books.
The Audiobook of the Bible was published in 2024. Readers are Þóra Karítas Árnadóttir, Guðrún Ásmundsdóttir, Arnar Jónsson, Guðjón Davíð Karlsson, Kristján Franklín Magnús, Steinunn Jóhannesdóttir, Álfrún Helga Örnólfsdóttir, Eggert Kaaber and Ragnheiður Steindórsdóttir.
