The first complete translation of the Bible into English was the Wycliffe Bible. However, a significant number of books (including the Pentateuch, Psalms, Proverbs, and the four Gospels) were all translated into Old English in Anglo-Saxon times. Wikisource also hosts several books translated by users into Old English.
