The Malayalam translation of the Christian Bible has undergone several revisions since the first full‑text publication in the 19th century. “Poc 127” (a contemporary EPUB edition) represents one of the latest digital incarnations, integrating modern orthographic standards, typographic conventions, and multimedia enhancements. This paper provides a scholarly overview of the Malayalam Bible’s translation trajectory, analyzes the technical and linguistic features of the Poc 127 EPUB, and evaluates its implications for biblical scholarship, liturgical use, and digital humanities research in the Malayalam‑speaking context.
