Can you advice me some good english bible study website(s)? Preferably with various parallel translation and/or notes on uncertainities in translations.

I also remember visiting one that included description of words used in original greek/hebrew, to give better idea about various possible meaning of passage, but I can't find it again.

Thanks

and Blue letter Bible

http://www.blueletterbible.org/

When you look at a quote in the Blue Letter BIble, you can press on the letter c to see the quote in Hebrew and in Greek with a dictionary definition for each word. If you click on some other letter, you get a few different translations. I like it because it is easy to use once you get used to it.

Mark Goodacre's NT gateway
http://www.ntgateway.com/bible-translations/
links to the following:

Bible.Logos.com
Fast and powerful searching, infinite scrolling, and the ability to easily switch between over 25 translations while maintaining your current verse selection. A great online Bible.

The Bible Gateway
A valuable resource fast searches of multiple versions (New International Version, Revised Standard Version, New American Standard Bible, New King James, Vulgate). The site is available in several different languages with Bible translations available in each (French, Dutch, German, Italian, Swedish, Portuguese, Norwegian and more).

Bible Study Tools on Crosswalk.com
Another valuable resource — here one can look up verses and do searches on more translations including the NRSV (New Revised Standard Version) and the Vulgate. Other resources (not aimed at the academic, but often useful, e.g. concordances, dictionaries) are available at the same site. There is also an Interlinear Bible available, but you will need to download the BST fonts.

The Unbound Bible
At Biola University, U.S.A.: another excellent resource. Here one can search for passages in the Greek NT, Septuagint, Hebrew Bible, New American Standard, King James, Norwegian, Russian, French, German, Italian, Spanish and Swedish. It will also display parallels in up to two of these versions.

The Blue Letter Bible
Another very useful on-line Bible: search the King James Version and access also an interlinear Greek and Hebrew facility for every verse. The new, simpler URL brings with it a major new design and lots more functions (as of May / June 2000), e.g. access to more Bible versions and translations: the RSV, the Vulgate, the Septuagint. Greek and Hebrew verbs are all parsed and linked to Strong’s concordance.

ARTFL Project: Multi-Lingual Bibles
The aim of this project, hosted by the University of Chicago, is to build parallel, searchable versions of the Bible as part of an experiment to facilitate multi-lingual processing. Currently includes King James English, Luther German, Louis Segond French and Jerome’s Latin Vulgate.

The NET Bible
From the Biblical Studies Foundation: the easy-to-use on-line New English Translation Bible.

HTML Bible
By John Hurt: one can download, read or search several versions quickly from this new, charitable site (KJV, Young’s, Parallel New Testament and Nestle’s Greek New Testament). The unique element here is that it is designed in order that you can download everything and use the site for searching and browsing without the need for a web server.

Online Bible
There are a variety of Bible texts and tools in different languages to download here and to use in the free Online Bible programme, which lets you search, add notes, compare versions, look up entries in lexicons and so on. You will need to download the programme first and then the individual modules. Some of the modules are only available for purchase on the CD, but many are free. The site has separate portals for North American English, European English, Nederlands, Deutsch and Français. A very useful programme — recommended.

E-Sword
By Rick Meyers: excellent, free bible programme. Download this onto your computer and then select which modules you would like to add. They include translations like Darby, KJV, 1901 American Standard Version, Good News Bible as well as a Greek New Testament and a Hebrew Old Testament. There are dictionaries, commentaries and graphics. Customise it for your own needs. Another excellent free programme.

Bible Database
By Brent Maurer: another fine piece of free software. There are more than 50 Bibles in over 30 languages available to use in the programme (including KJV, RSV, ASV; Greek N-A26 and more). Like the On-line Bible, you download the programme and then choose which Bibles and which extra features (Bible Dictionaries, devotional commentaries etc.) you would like to download. One of the strengths of the web site connected with the programme is that it is very well documented, and detailed easy-to-follow instructions are provided on how to work with the software.

Another one to add would be http://www.biblegateway.com/

[Edit: Oh, I see it had been mentioned already. Oh well, now you have a link to it.]

Citsonga

Oh yeah, another one is http://www.skepticsannotatedbible.com/

The guy behind that site has highlighted problems in the Biblical text (based on his perspective, of course) with categories such as absurdities, cruelties, contradictions, intolerance, scientific errors, etc, as well as some "good stuff" too.
