Well, that's referring to the Old Testament, though. The dead sea scrolls confirmed that our Old Testament was reliable. Eclectic text versions of the Bible pull from more sources for the New Testament.

I would pretty much avoid any translation that uses the term "Jehovah" as a transliteration of YHWH.
It shows that they are going with what is "common" or "tradition" as opposed to correct so one wonders where else they have "cut corners".

I found that the Ancient Greek Literal Translation cuts out the middle man's interpretation but this also makes it harder to read.
But I always refer to it when I need to get to the bottom of things (so-to-speak).

Careful with literal translations because they simply don't exist.
What we ALWAYS have are interpretations of literal translations since a word CAN mean more than one thing ( especially Hebrew and Aramaic).

I find the KJV hard to understand many a time.
I am Jewish, however, I am Christian. That said, in my opinion the BEST translation is the JPS Tanakh for English speakers. For myself, I use the Rabbinic bibles which are all written in Hebrew.

Welcome Shayla.
Great to have a Jewish Christian here, or is that just a more authentic Jew who sees the truth in their own teachings?
Hopefully we'll get to hear more about your story.

I always used to use the NIV but I've been reading the CEV on YouVersion and enjoying that. I don't think the NIV is hard to understand though.

I think the easiest to understand is The Open Bible Translation. It was the first one I used when I started reading and I still think it's the best. Try it I think you'll love it like I do. Just my humble option.

I've found that the NKJ and older NIV are good -- the NIV is in paragraph form which tends to be more reader-friendly. The important thing is to Read it.

Being Messianic I would have to say the Complete Jewish Bible by David H. Stern, or the Messianic Family Bible and you might check out AENT New Testament by Andrew Gabriel Roth.
