There are some great resources online for reading and even listening to the Haitian Creole Bible. We’ll keep this page updated as we find new ones to share. Don’t forget you can ask us for specific pronunciations of any Bible verse (or phrase you need to say in Creole). For example we record John 3:16 and the Four Spiritual Laws in Creole.
Bible Gateway – You can setup a side by side (parallel translation) of Creole and English Bibles.
Fouye Bible is a simple to use website that offers the Bible in English, French, and Creole. If you click on a specific verse it gives you all three languages on one page. (example)
Talking Bibles – You can listen to the New Testament read aloud in Creole. This is a great way to practice hearing the language as you follow along with the scripture text.
Books of the Bible in Creole – We put together this list of all the Bible books in Haitian Creole along with pronunciations.
Search the Android or Apple store for Creole Bibles you can download. I can’t list them all here, but there are several excellent apps that are 100% free.
