CATHOLICS: WHAT IS THE BIBLE TRANSLATION WE US?
I have only came behind to a Catholic church, as well as am not certain which Bible we should use. My all time a a single preferred is a New King James , though we unequivocally wish a Catholic Bible to review also.
I know which we make make make use of of of a New American chronicle for Mass
readings, though a little Catholics contend we should make make make use of of of alternative versions of a Catholic Bible for personal study.
Here is a list a list of a translations which others have endorsed
New American Version
Revised Standard Version
New Revised Standard Version
New Jerusalem bible Version
There is a single alternative chronicle though we can not recollect a name of it .
What is a disproportion in these translations?
I would unequivocally similar to to find these translations online to review them to any other,but sadly we have not found an online Bible interpretation bottom which has these versions… Any report which we could yield will be appreciated appreciate we for your time.
God bless
P.s This subject is for any a single who unequivocally knows about opposite Bible translations. Please be respectful

i have the new american bible. as for the translations: the wording is a little different, but the message is the same.
I have always wanted the international side by side version that I had seen someone using…..lol, but have used all the above when in study….although, I am not a Catholic, so many use diff Bibles when quoting scripture that it is handy to know where they are getting it from.
Just type in the search box above whatever you seek….I have used different on-line Bibles all the time that way….
I’m rarely at the same comp, so I have diff things saved on each of them, lol otherwise I would just give you a link
Peace be with you
If you want THE best translation, you should invest in a Doay-Rheims Bible. My family and I are Traditional Catholics (Latin Mass only) and exclusively use the Doay-Rheims Bible.
*Is Catholic*
If you enjoy the KJV you will enjoy the Douai-Rheims as they share the same sentence structure and “old English” feel. The descendants of the KJV and the DR are based off of each other so finding a very simmular sounding Catholic Bible with the missing books is very easy.
Below is the sources of the English Translationshttp://www.scborromeo.org/images/fig5.gi…
That will show how they are different.
When it comes to a translation, be careful about vertical inclusive language (language that turns Father to Creator etc.). Most modern translations have this problem.
AS A NOTE the NAB used for Mass is not the same as the one you buy. The NAB for Mass have been updated to remove most of the inclusive language and other problems that the Holy See had with it.
ALSO: I would like to point out that the notes are very important and you should have a bible that has good notes not just one that you like the translation.
Other people have given good links to on line bibles.
The New Amercian Bible is what is used. I use the New American Study Bible for myself.
Here is the online NABhttp://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/index….
The KJV is missing 7 books, so you will want to use a different one.
We us… no unnerstand!
The following Bible translations are approved by the Catholic Chruch for personal use:
+ Douai-Rheims
+ Confraternity Edition
+ Revised Standard Version (RSV) – Catholic Edition
+ New American Bible (NAB )
+ Jerusalem Bible
+ New Revised Standard Version (NRSV)- Catholic Edition
+ New Jerusalem Bible
+ Today’s’ English Version – Catholic
I recommend the New American Bible (NAB) which is the version used during Mass and other liturgies in the U.S. and many other English speaking countries.
Here is a NAB website: http://www.nccbuscc.org/nab/bible/
With love in Christ.
If you are very concerned about what Bible to get then I suggest you get an Interlinear Bible version by Jay P. Green. The latest is dated 2005. This gives an accurate version of the Scriptural Hebrew and Greek with a literal translation in English under each word. You won’t then be subject to the variety of views in many Bible versions of those interpreting Scripture
There is nothing wrong with the versions you have listed,my personal study involves the King James version along with other like revised standard version and other bibles and books all it does is clarify and give you a better understanding,some even have the concordance to go along with the bible verses,stick with the king James bible as your foundational bible,and add to your knowledge thru the others and ask the Holy spirit to lead you and guide you into all truth
I use both and I am a Catholic. The NIV study Bible is one of a Protestant lean but I like the concordance and I like some of the study notes– very informative but they slant things just a little bit, if you know what I mean, so you have to have the Holy Spirit definitely guide you, but I also use the Jerusalem Bible which I like the best.
I’m not catholic but I like the New International Version or The Message. They are easy to read and great for personnal bible studies.
Personally, I wouldn’t use something that has been “designated” by the catholicchurch simply becuase you don’t want something that has been filtered/added to by a religion.
http://www.biblegateway.com is an excellent way to view most translations
Hope I was of some help, if you want, you can contact me
The “King James Version” the original one, not the new one.
The Douay Rheims is the best Catholic Bible, which is translated from the Latin Vulgate.

Douay Rheims
Due to the fact that
Christians use the Protestant Old Testament which is lacking 7 entire books 2 (Tobias, Judith, Wisdom, Ecclesiasticus/Sirach, Baruch, I Maccabees, and II Maccabees), 3 chapters of Daniel and 6 chapters of Esther may be one of the reasons they ask catholics so many questions.
For the Sola Scriptura this is too bad .
In the 16th c., Luther removed those books from the canon that lent support to orthodox doctrine, relegating them to an appendix. Removed in this way were books that supported such things as:
prayers for the dead (Tobit 12:12; 2 Maccabees 12:39-45),
Purgatory (Wisdom 3:1-7),
intercession of dead saints (2 Maccabees 15:14),
and intercession of angels as intermediaries (Tobit 12:12-15).
The lesson, though, is this: relying on the “Bible alone” is a bad idea; we are not to rely solely on Sacred Scripture to understand Christ’s message. While Scripture is “given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in righteousness” (2 Timothy 3:16-17), it is not sufficient for reproof, correction and instruction in righteousness. It is the Church that is the “pillar and ground of Truth” (1 Timothy 3:15)!
Jesus did not come to write a book; He came to redeem us, and He founded a Sacramental Church through His apostles to show us the way. It is to them, to the Church Fathers, to the Sacred Deposit of Faith, to the living Church that is guided by the Holy Spirit, and to Scripture that we must prayerfully look.
It all about the Jerusalem Bible when it comes to study and scholarship. This one was written NOT from other translations, but rather from the earliest manuscripts yet discovered; translated from the Greek or Hebrew or other tongue directly into French and English. Many footnotes and explanatory material. An incredible contribution of Catholic scholarship -TOTALLY the “right stuff.”
Now go out and get one.
