Hltsakhma Shoqbung

This App contains a Balti translation of the Injeel e Muqaddas from the original Greek, and also some books of the Taurat, Zaboor and Saheefong.

It also contains the Lives of the Prophets,/ Qisus ul Ambiya and Seerat al Masih – a summarized presentation of material found in the Taurat, Zaboor, Saheefong and Injil Sharif. This is perhaps easier to start with than the full text in BFT for those who are as yet unfamiliar with the books.

The App also contains the original text in Hebrew of the Taurat, Zaboor and Saheefong and the Greek Injil, and a translation of these full texts (called the Bible) into Urdu and English, with optional audio recordings.

TO USE the APP
