The original Greek for the New Testament, and the original Hebrew, and you might even be able to include the Septuagint (Greek translation of the Old Testament) in there. That is one of the difficulties of using the Bible today. How do we know that the version we are using has correctly translated the original Greek? This is the reason that I have to learn both Greek & Hebrew for my Masters of Divinity degree.

This is also the reason that most Bible translations are done by teams of scholars, especially if they are trying to be accurate and right.

A couple of interesting facts:
The original manuscripts not only did not have verse chapter numbers, they didn't have spaces between words or punctuation marks. These were things that were added in the early 3rd or 4th century.
