The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls 提供的英文译文,不同于常见的任何英文译本,它是Jewish Publication Society在1917翻译并通过 the American Israeli Cooperative Enterprise 印行的,是犹太教的旧约《圣经》版本,简称JPS。换句话说,The Digital Dead Sea Scrolls 的英文译文并非为《死海古卷》新译的,为便于比较,网站专门提供了一段翻译对照,使用的是加拿大三一大学Peter Flint的《死海古卷》译文。
自从《死海古卷》发现以来,有很多学者致力于它的翻译工作,其中Theodore H. Gaster的 The Dead Sea Scriptures,已经由王神荫翻译成中文《死海古卷》,由商务印书馆出版。此外,还有两个重要的版本:
