Translations of the Bible into [[Albanian language]] have appeared since the 18th century.
 
==Overview==
 
The first known translation of the New Testament into Albanian is the so-called [[Elbasan Gospel Manuscript]]. The manuscript was written in 1761, probably the work of [[Gregory of Durrës]], the Metropolitan (archbishop) of the Archdiocese of Durrës.
 
In 1821 [[Vangjel Meksi]] completed the translation of the New Testament into Albanian, which was posthumously published in 1827.
 
Since 1857, [[Kostandin Kristoforidhi]] published a series of translations of the New Testament and other Biblical books into Albanian.
 
In 1980 the Catholic priest [[Simon Filipaj]] published another translation of the New Testament and in 1994, after the fall of the Communist regime, the first edition of the whole Bible in Albanian; see [[Shkrimi shenjt: Besëlidhja e Vjeter dhe Besëlidhja e Re (1994 Filipaj), book]].
