It might but: - the vocabulary and topics covered in the bible is quite different from today's written and spoken text, especially phone discussions or social network messages. - other aligned corpora such as http://www.statmt.org/europarl/ http://www.statmt.org/europarl/ are much larger than the bible (several millions of tokens for most pairs vs less than 1 million for the Bible) Agreed that http://www.statmt.org/europarl/ http://www.statmt.org/europarl/ does not cover non-European languages.
