[quote=Anonymous]Well, that depends. This wiki has a brief translation discussion and shows that there are many translations of the Roman Catholic Bible: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Catholic_Bible

Officially, since John Paul II, the Nova Vulgate is the Bible of Holy See, but it is in Latin. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nova_Vulgata Also, you will note that Traditionalist Catholics object to it. There was also much debate about whether it was correct to use that Latin version for other language translations, blah blah blah.

Anyway, when I look for a version to read or reference, I like annotated academic versions because they will include notes about issues surrounding translations and interpretations of various words, phrases, and references.

The revised "New American Bible" is an American English translation and is available on the Vatican Website with useful footnotes. A little background on that is here: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/New_American_Bible It is the official version used in American Catholic Mass in English (also approved by the Episcopal church).

And the interactive version here:
