The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints publishes editions of the Bible in English and Spanish. In many other non-English languages, the Church has identified a preferred non–Latter-day Saint edition of the Bible for use in Church meetings and classes.
English
The Church publishes an English-language edition of the King James Version of the Holy Bible. It includes LDS footnotes and chapter headings, a Topical Guide, Bible Dictionary, Bible Chronology, Harmony of the Gospels, Bible Maps, Bible Photographs, Guide to the Scriptures, and selections from the Joseph Smith Translation. The latest edition was updated in 2013 and is available in various printed, electronic, and audio formats.
Spanish
In 2009, the LDS Church published a Spanish-language edition of the Bible entitled Santa Biblia: Reina-Valera 2009. The text is based on the 1909 version of the Reina-Valera translation, with modernized grammar and vocabulary. It includes LDS footnotes and chapter headings, as well as a Guide to the Scriptures and selections from the Joseph Smith Translation. It is available in various printed, electronic, and audio formats.

Do you know if this list has changed at all since 2013? Is it up-to-date as of this month?
Samuel,
Yes, this is the latest list.

I have seen “Samoan” on the above list of other language translations. How can I bring it up on my computer or Ipad or my phone to read the Samoan translation of the Holy Bible? Please show me how to do it if there is a way.
Thanks for your help.
Misikei,
The Church does not publish the Samoan Bible “O le Tusi Paia.” It is published by the Bible Society in the South Pacific. I don’t know if the Bible Society provides it online.
