It's good it was translated from its original English into Hebrew and

You mean the Jews? They wrote the books of the Law and the Prophets
which were included in the Bible as the Old Testament.

The common language of the Roman world was Greek, thus the language of
choice for most writers of the New Testament.

Only much later was this entire collection translated into other
languages (since they did not exist at the time of the original
manuscripts), such as English.
