the Bible has not been translated to!

Sadly this is far from true. According to http://www.wycliffe.org/language/statistics.htm,
*Of the 6,809 languages on earth… /(as of December 2003)/*
*405* *Languages with adequate whole Bible*

*1034* *Languages with adequate New Testament*

There may be some languages with translations of the Hebrew Bible but not of the New Testament, but the implication here is that there is no translation of the Hebrew Bible into well over 90% of the world's languages.
