Sally, of all of the many questions that I am asked and have been asked over the years, this question is the most frequent. My answer is the same. One translation is just as bad or as good as the other depending on whether you are an optimist or pessimist. There are strengths and weaknesses in them all.
But, I suggest that you use the one with which you feel the most comfortable and then don't just limit yourself to one translation. Get several and read them all at the same time, noting little differences or discrepancies. And, if you will take just a little time to acquire some lexical aids (many of which we have listed on the Web site), you will be able to check some of the information for yourself.
