Use Popup verse "Link": 1. Click "Link" button → 2. Quick jump to the main Bible window for that verse → 3. Use History to jump back to the previous verse
Popup verse「Link」用法:1. 點擊「Link」按鈕 → 2. 快速跳至主經文視窗該節 → 3. 使用歷史記錄跳回 Popup verse 之前的經節
Handy Bible Pro can open up to four Bible windows at once; the Free Basic version allows up to two. Each window can be resized (its height in portrait, its width in landscape) and can show its own translation, which is great for comparing translations. Drag the resize button to change a window’s size, and long press to close it.
專業版最多可同時開啟四個聖經視窗,免費基本版最多兩個。每個視窗可獨立調整大小(直向調整高度,橫向調整寬度),並可選擇不同譯本,是比較譯本的好幫手。拖曳「調整大小」按鈕即可改變視窗大小,「長按」則可關閉視窗。

Switch Full Screen Bible reading mode on or off by tapping anywhere on the screen with two fingers, or by shaking your iPhone. It also gets popups out of the way: when popup windows cover the main Bible text, tap the “full scripture display mode” button at the upper left to hide them all for a moment, then tap “Return to normal Bible study mode” at the lower right to bring them back. With a keyboard, press Cmd + R.
兩指輕按畫面任何地方,或「搖晃」iPhone,即可開啟或關閉「全螢幕」讀經模式。這個模式也能暫時收起彈出視窗:當彈出的經文或研經視窗遮住了主經文,可按左上角的「全經文顯示模式」暫時隱藏所有彈出視窗,再按右下角的「回到正常研經模式」即可恢復。有外接鍵盤時,按 Cmd + R 可快速切換。
A setting makes Handy Bible remember your popup windows: the next time the app launches, it re-opens the popups that were open before, with the same size and position.
有一項設定可讓 Handy Bible 記住彈出視窗:下次啟動 app 時,會自動重新打開先前開啟的彈出視窗,並維持原本的大小與位置。
A setting puts the Bible switch list on the left side instead of the right — a more natural place for choosing a translation when reading in landscape.
有一項設定「聖經譯本列表顯示左邊」,橫向閱讀時選取譯本更順手。

Handy Bible can search the whole Bible in about a second and group 20,000+ results by book. Besides plain word search, it offers a verse list, Regex and SQL query.
Handy Bible 可在一秒之內搜尋整本聖經,並以書卷分組呈現兩萬多筆結果。除了一般的字詞搜尋,也提供列出經節、Regex 及 SQL 搜尋。
Use Regex for complex searches. For example, to find verses where “god” appears twice, search: Regex: (god.*){2}. In Chinese, to find verses with two occurrences of 耶穌: Regex: (耶穌.*){2}.
使用「正則表達式」進行較複雜的搜尋。例如,要找出包含兩個「耶穌」的經文,可搜尋:Regex: (耶穌.*){2};英文則如 Regex: (god.*){2}。
Start your search text with “!” to find verses that do not contain it.
搜尋字串的第一個字元若是「!」,代表搜尋經文「不」包含該字串。
📣 Source 來源: Facebook post, Jun 2022 · View on Facebook 在 Facebook 查看
Search multiple translations together and see the results side by side. The first translation shown is the main one being searched; verses of the other translations must also contain the search text. Turn on “Include translations NOT containing search strings” to show them anyway — useful for comparing how other translations word the same verse, especially when studying the original text.
可同時搜尋多個譯本並把結果陳列在一起。第一個顯示的是主要待搜尋譯本,其他譯本的經節必須包含該搜尋字串才會顯示;若啟動「顯示即使沒有包含搜尋字串的譯本」,其他譯本的經節即使不包含也會顯示,方便比較不同譯本對同一經節的翻譯,對研究原文逐字翻譯尤其有幫助。

At the end of every search result there are two buttons: one shows the same verse in all translations, the other shows the 5 verses before and after it — convenient for comparing translations and context.
每節搜尋結果的末尾有兩個按鈕:一個顯示該節在所有不同譯本的經文,另一個顯示該節前後各 5 節經文,方便比較譯本與前後文。

Searching original-language words needs the “Strong Bible Study” purchase. A quick search button becomes available (see the video on Facebook), and you can also search by meaning: type G: followed by a word to find Greek words, or H: to find Hebrew words. For example, G: love lists the Greek words whose meaning matches “love”.
搜尋原文字詞需要購買「原文經文進深研究」功能。購買後可使用快捷搜尋按鈕(請看 Facebook 上的視頻示範),也可以用字詞的意思來搜尋:以 G: 開頭搜尋希臘原文字詞,以 H: 開頭搜尋希伯來原文字詞。例如輸入 G: 愛,即可列出中文意思符合「愛」的希臘原文字詞。

Tap the “Parallel View” button to show all the same type of study materials (for example, every available commentary) side by side.
按下「平行顯示」按鈕,可使所有同類的研經資料(例如所有可用的註釋)並排「平行顯示」。
Like parallel Bibles, the popup commentary window can show all commentaries on a verse in parallel.
類似平行經文,彈出的註釋視窗可以平行顯示該經節的所有註釋。

Highlighted text now shows on every translation in parallel view, not only on the first (main) one.
「加亮文字」現在會顯示在平行經文的每一個譯本,而不是只有主經文。
Every study material has a “Copy Tag” button. After you tap it, while writing a note tap “Paste Tag” at the cursor to insert a Tag pointing to that material. Tap the Tag any time to call the material back up.
所有研經資料都有「註記」按鈕。選擇「Copy 註記」之後,在做筆記時,可在游標處按「貼上註記」加入該研經資料的「註記」,之後隨時點擊就能叫出該研經資料。

Popup Commentary, Dictionary and Book windows can create a dedicated “Tag Note”, separate from ordinary verse notes.
「註釋」「聖經字典」「屬靈書籍」的彈出視窗可以創建有別於一般經節筆記的專屬「註記筆記」。
Handy Bible’s built-in commentary (MHCC) is in English. Select some text, choose “Translate” from the iOS menu, and pick the language you want to read it in.

Notes are more than text. Edit like a word processor — change font, size, text and background color, add bullets and web links — and also insert photos or pictures, take a photo on the spot, and record audio right into the note. Great for Sunday School or seminary classes.
筆記不只是文字。可以像文書處理軟體一樣更改字型、字串大小、顏色與背景顏色、加要點、加網站連結,還能插入照片或圖片、即時拍照,並即時錄音,是上神學課、主日學課的好幫手。
You can set the font type, size and color for each Bible window from Settings → Font Settings. For a quick size change, pinch the main Bible window with two fingers.
可在「設定 → 字型設定」為每個經文視窗設定字型、大小與顏色。要快速改變字型大小,可在主聖經視窗用兩指捏合縮放。
After changing font type/size or displaying a second Bible, if text is truncated at the end of some verses, increase "Settings → Font Settings → Gap between Verses" to add more space
在改變字型大小或顯示第二欄聖經之後,有些經節的最後一行經文尾端遭截斷,這時可增加「設定 → 字型設定 → Gap between Verses」來增加顯示每節經文的空間
You are not limited to the fonts installed on the system. Download a font file (a name like font_filename.ttf) and keep it in the cloud (Google Drive, Dropbox…). Tap the file, tap “…”, choose “Open in”, then pick Handy Bible Pro (HandyBibleP). Finally go to Settings → Font Settings, choose the Bible window, and select the newly added font. See the video demonstration.
不限於系統內建的字型,也可以下載並安裝自訂字型。把下載的字型檔(例如 font_filename.ttf)存到雲端(Google Drive、Dropbox 等),開啟該檔案後選擇「共享/匯出」,選擇 Handy Bible 專業版(HandyBibleP)圖標,再到「設定 → 字型設定」,選擇要使用此字型的經文視窗,再選取新增的字型。請看視頻演示。例如開源中文字型「大波浪圓體」:github.com/max32002/pop-gothic。

Handy Bible can read the Bible aloud using the iOS text-to-speech feature — at least 36 languages, including Mandarin and Cantonese. Handy when driving or commuting. Text-to-speech is a paid feature. With a keyboard, press p to play / stop.
利用 iOS 自帶的語音合成功能讀出聖經(支援國語、普通話、廣東話等至少 36 種語言),開車、搭車時很方便。文字轉語音是付費功能。有外接鍵盤時,按 p 可開始/停止朗讀。
To copy several verses (even non-consecutive ones) into another app: long press a verse and shake it slightly until it lifts and a “+” appears at its upper-right corner — it is now in Drag & Drop mode. Keep holding with one finger and tap more verses with another finger (even from other chapters or books). Still holding, open another app such as Notes or Mail with your other hand, move to where the verses should go, then let go. A video demo is on Facebook (see the links below).
要把多處、甚至不連續的經文複製到其他 app:用一隻手指「長按」經文,不放開並左右稍微搖動,經文會浮起且右上角出現「+」,代表已進入「拖放」狀態。手指繼續按著,用另一隻手指點選其他經文(甚至可以是不同章或書卷)。接著仍按著,用另一隻手開啟「備忘錄」、郵件等 app,移到要插入經文的位置,再放開手指。Facebook 貼文附有視頻示範(見下方連結)。
