Bible translations into Slovene

The first translation of a sentence from the Bible (Mt 25:34) to Slovene appeared in the Freising Manuscripts, dating to the 10th or the 11th century.

The versions of the Bible for Slovenes are most closely connected with the activity of the Reformer of Carniola, Primož Trubar and his associates and successors.

Jurij Dalmatin, who was mentored by Trubar, translated the Old Testament and an edition of the entire Scriptures to Slovene.

Miklós Küzmics published the catholic version (Szvéti evangyeliomi, Summa sztároga i nouvoga testamentoma szvéte histórie).

In 1784, part of the New Testament for use by Roman Catholics was printed at Ljubljana after being translated from the Vulgate by several hands.
