La Biblia de las Américas - LBLA

Literal, Dependable, and Easy to Read

Background & History of the LBLA

Completed in 1986 by a team of Latin American evangelical Bible scholars, La Biblia de las Américas (LBLA) is an original work translated from the Hebrew-Aramaic and Greek directly into modern Spanish. Modern Spanish grammar and language have been used to produce a text of high literary quality that is easy to read and understand. LBLA presents the Word of God in a clear and flowing style while maintaining accuracy. Following the same principles of translation set for the NASB, La Biblia de las Américas is understandable to the general public and also suitable for serious study, preaching, and daily reading.
