Welcome 
Glad to see you are taking an interest in the bible no matter what language it is written in.
If you are so concerned about the finer details of translations and versions you might be getting a little ahead of yourself. The arcane debates about which translation is best/better involve a lot of gnat straining and missing the forest for the trees.
IMHO you should read several different translations, a couple of times, then go learn Koine Greek and Hebrew, then get a grasp of canonical exegesis, and THEN you will be able to sit down and really appreciate the one suggested to you by folk here at AF.
