The Message

For the past couple years I've been working (sporadically) on a project to be able to produce a high-quality aligned parallel Bible in all languages for which there's a freely-available translation. What sets this project apart from others is that any language pairs can be chosen, and a nicely-typeset book is automatically generated. Here are the languages that I currently have:
  1. Afrikaans
  2. Albanian
  3. Arabic
  4. Chinese (simplified)
  5. Chinese (traditional)
  6. Croatian
  7. Czech (2 translations)
  8. Danish
  9. Dutch
  10. English (4 translations: KJV, ASV, WEB, and BBE)
  11. Esperanto
  12. Estonian
  13. Finnish
  14. French
  15. German
  16. Greek (LXX, TR, and WH)
  17. Hebrew (BHS, WLC, and modern)
  18. Hungarian
  19. Italian (2 translations)
  20. Latin
  21. Lithuanian
  22. Norwegian
  23. Portuguese
  24. Romanian
  25. Russian
  26. Spanish
  27. Swedish
  28. Syriac (NT)
  29. Turkish
  30. Ukrainian
This gives over 400 possible pairings. Adding additional languages or translations is pretty easy.
Below is a sample text. The printed version is not highlighted like the images below.






If you try to read any of the above text samples, you'll receive the gift of knowledge.
(but don't give it away)



Update: I'm delighted that several of you have made an effort to decipher the message.  Here's another sample that might help out:






Second Update:  Some of you have mentioned that the above languages are difficult.  So I'm adding another  pair of languages that are considerably easier to decipher:
