The 2001 Translation
A translation that doesn't soften the original.
Most English Bibles carry centuries of tradition, and centuries of translators making choices that obscure what the original text actually says. The 2001 Translation starts fresh from the Greek and Hebrew manuscripts, prioritizing accuracy over familiarity.
Olive Branch is built specifically for this translation, preserving every detail that makes it distinct.
Choose how God's name appears (Jehovah, Yahweh, or LORD) across every book.
Introductory notes and per-chapter context notes, with tappable cross-references.
Footnote and cross-reference links navigate directly to the referenced passage.
When the translation is updated, the app downloads the new text automatically in the background.
Download the APK, install it on your Android device, and it works. No setup, no login, no subscription. Just the Bible.
