If you're interested in an audio bible, there's quite a bit which has been by Ken Caviness and other volunteers. (I've read a few chapters and hope to do more this next academic year.)

SCNR and sorry, pun would be lost if I translated this to English.

eitanulo:Esperanto never changed from the beginning..It did a lot - vocabulary grew from 1000 roots to almost 15000, some uses have been abandoned now, and so on. Consult Don Harlow for more details.

Vestitor:I couldn't imagine anyone using the Bible to learn any other language. Straightforward texts are better so meaning is clear.I wasn't going to use a theologically rich passage such as one of Paul's epistles, for example. I was thinking more of Mark, which is mainly narrative and not much theologically rich teachings (none, in fact, that I can think of). Mark is, to my thinking, a very straight forward book. My main reason for wanting to use the Londona Biblio is convenience. I have it on my phone, along with a translator, so I practice Esperanto on the go.

Vestitor:I couldn't imagine anyone using the Bible to learn any other language.Why not? If it's a text you know well in your own language, looking at how it's done in Esperanto can only be helpful.

It's very likely written in a way completely different to almost every ordinary sentence one is likely to write (or say) when using any language for normal discourse.
I like discouraging people from reading the Bible whenever I can.
