Svenska Folkbibeln (Swedish People's Bible) is a contemporary translation of the Bible in Swedish. The New Testament was published in 1996 and the entire Bible in 1998. During the autumn of 2014 a revised edition of the Book of Psalms and the New Testament was published.[1] The translation project aims to revise the entire Old Testament.

The reason for the translation was that many conservative Christians considered the contemporary official translation, Bibel 2000, to be heavily influenced by liberal theology and higher criticism. The Old Testament is for the most part a revision of the official Swedish translation from 1917, while the New Testament is a completely new translation.

The translation project has produced an audio book edition of the 1998 text. There are smartphone apps for Android and iPhone with the 2014 text.
