# PepLamb's Audio Bible

> Free multilingual audio Bible at https://bible.peplamb.com — 31 translations in 26 languages with synchronized audio narration, word-level highlighting, full-text search, cross-references, AI-suggested similar verses, reading plans and progress tracking. No account or payment required. Every Bible passage has a stable, shareable URL.

Reading URL grammar: `https://bible.peplamb.com/?v={VERSION}&r={REFERENCE}` where `v` is a version abbreviation (KJV, NIVUK, RVR1960, POV-FAS, CNV, …) and `r` is a compact reference — book code plus chapter, optional verse or range: `Ge1` (chapter), `Jn3:16` (verse), `Ps23:1-6` (range). Book names in many languages are accepted and normalized. UI language: append `?lang={locale}` (58 interface languages: en, es, pt-BR, fa, hi, zh-Hant, …); bare URLs are the English x-default and each page advertises its hreflang alternates.
