The old testament was written in Hebrew. The new testament, which is not "Hebrew books", was written in the common language in the Roman empire at the time, which was Greek.
But the language of Jesus and his band of men would have been Aramaic which DID have a written form. So the very first writtings would have lost something in translation and there are NO written accounts in the original tongue. A bit like taking the google translate to Chinese and then into english account of something as your holy book. When you get it, it has been translated at least three times.
