I’ve been trying to locate an interlinear for the apocrypha/deuteros. I’ve looked everywhere, and can’t find one.
 
Did you ask St. Anthony’s intercession? I will say a prayer for you asking his most powerful intercession and the Blessed Mother’s intercession. I wish I could help you but I have no idea what you are talking about. 😃

An interlinear shows the original language text with the english words underneath. I have an interlinear bible that has the OT in hebrew w/ the english words underneat, and the NT is in the original greek w/ the english words underneath.
 
I found this on that site, and thought it quite interesting and important also.

There is more there, but this is, in part, a response from Cardinal Jorge to a question from an English-speaking bishop, the Congregation for Divine Worship and the Discipline of the Sacraments sent a letter clarifying the use of the Nova Vulgata (Neo-Vulgate) version of the Bible in the translation of biblical texts for use in the Liturgy.) This letter was dated November 5, 2001, and addresses criticisms and misunderstandings regarding the norms contained in the Instruction Liturgiam Authenticam…

Here one sees clearly that if the Church is to prescribe the use of any specific biblical readings for any purpose, in practical terms it is possible to do so only by reference to some officially approved edition of the Sacred Scriptures. And while some apparently would object to the designation of a Latin text for such a purpose, these same critics appear not to have adverted to the fact that it is precisely the choice of a Latin text, instead of an officially approved text in the original biblical languages, that leaves the textual critic the scholarly freedom that rightly pertains to his task of determining the original text by scientific means. At times, the determination of a given manuscript tradition by the Nova Vulgata provides the textual critic with a necessary datum for his work as regards a translation for liturgical use, but it does not limit the exercise of his responsible discretion in evaluating textual variants within that tradition.

Nova Vulgata makes no claim to inalterable perfection
While constantly defending the inerrancy of the Sacred Scriptures as such, the Church has never claimed unalterable perfection for her own officially approved Latin edition of the Scriptures, and has sought to improve that version several times. It is not to be excluded, and indeed, it is to be expected, that such work continue in the future. To this end, biblical scholars have all due freedom to propose corrections or improvements in that text wherever they believe them to be necessary or desirable, keeping in mind, of course, that their criteria for the “best” text or even the most “original” text may not in every instance coincide with the Church’s criteria for the canonical text. In responsibly proposing eventual revisions to the official edition of the Nova Vulgata or, with certain qualifications, the Ordo lectionum Missae, biblical scholars could at least be said to be working within their area of competence.

Determining specific texts for Liturgy belongs to the authority of the Church
Determining which texts belong to the Church’s canon and which texts are prescribed for the Sacred Liturgy, however, lies outside the area of competence of biblical scholars in general, or of textual critics in particular. It is the Church herself, on the basis of her tradition, that has established the canon, and it is the competent ecclesiastical authority that prescribes the use of specific texts for liturgical use. As regards the rites of the Latin Church, that authority is the Holy See. Nor is there anything unscientific about such a limitation upon the scholar’s field of work. A microbiologist cannot verify the presence of a given organism by looking through the wrong microscope at the wrong slide. Analogously, a textual critic cannot properly determine an original biblical reading for a prescribed liturgical text by working on the basis of a manuscript tradition altogether different from the one that the Church intends to be proclaimed at a given liturgical moment. In some cases, the choice of a given variant might render a translation less relevant or even completely irrelevant to the liturgical situation for which it is prescribed.

I don’t know if this will give you what you’re looking for. Just something I came across. It requires downloading their free fonts to see the Greek or Hebrew.
 
I’d like a book that has the deuteros in their original languages with the english translations under it, so I can study them better.

Just scroll down to Greek Bible Tools and click onto the first link. That will provide you with the Deuters with a tagged interlinear, it is amazing! Just use your mouse and put the arrow on the word that you want and it will give you everything you want to know about it, and you can also click on that word and it will give even more details about the word.

Plus, here is an intelinear of the Old Greek Version of Daniel. It is the only one of it’s kind. I did it myself. This is the original LXX version, whereas the only other Daniel Greek interlinear is the one from Theodotion. I have included the Prayer of Azariah in chapter 3:23-90, which is among the Deuters. litteralchristianlibrary.wetpaint.com/page/Daniel+Interlinear+Old+Greek+Version

Hope this helps.

What you’d need would be an interlinear Septuagint, since the originals of the apocrypha were written in Greek and not Hebrew. However, such a book may not exist.

Quote from Jimmy Akin’s website jimmyakin.typepad.com/defensor_fidei/2004/06/septuagint_reso.html - (underlining mine):
*Putting together an interlinear is a very difficult thing, and they don’t sell that great to begin with. I am not aware of anybody who has put together a Septuagint interlinear in book form. Normally it is either published with straight Greek text or as a diaglot (i.e., a work with two languages on the same page or on facing pages, but not woven together line by line in interlinear fashion). Here’s an example of a Septuagint-English diaglot.

There’s also an NIV Hebrew-Greek-English triglot Old Testament that Amazon has available from their used bookstore contacts.

Though there is no print interlinear of the Septuagint, there is one available in .pdf form, which you can get from www.ApostolicBible.com. It can be ordered on CD-Rom for sixty bucks or downloaded it for forty three. .*…

Another question:

Are there bible concordances for catholic bibles? I have a STRONGS, but that’s based on the King James and has no Deutero references.

I’m not aware of any concordance for a Catholic bible that is similar to the Strong’s. Any I’ve come across that were called Catholic “concordances” were more like what I think of as a “topical bible”.

Altho there may not be books, there are Catholic Bibles on-line where you can do word searches. That would be equivalent to having a Strong’s Concordance. There’s also Catholic Bible software that can be purchased which has word search features.

Forgot about the Strong feature that let’s you reference the Greek and Hebrew – so the on-line Bibles with just simple search wouldn’t be equivalent in regard to that.

The Unbound Bible site comes closer. You can search a word and it will return the whole verse which contains it, in up to four user-selectable parallel versions including various Greek, Latin and Hebrew texts. Unfortunately, all the English versions are Protestant with the happy exception of the Douay-Rheims.
