Nope, the translators did a good and poor job often. There is no single translation which is not bias since what you are reading is a transliterated interpretation because a lot of this shit is unreadable. Qur'an is poorly written and not a clear piece of poetry. It is fractured, skips, over repeats and lengthens itself unnecessarily. Translators like hiding errors while being honest on some parts but not others.
The Koran has some major faults but it's better than the Book of Mormon.
