What’s the best/most based translation of the Bible?

The people who compiled the bible did not intend for its to be a Koran ie include everything. It was viewed as an evocative icon; one of many. Not being included in the bible =/= not valid, taboo, worth reading or iconic too.
This attitude changed in the West when, for many reasons, the Roman Church transformed Christianity from the Way of Life ie a deeply personal relationship with God that did not require an intermediary priest into a religion.
As members of the original Church observe, Christ didn't come to create another religion; He came to end the need for religions.
Orthodox Catholic Christians still joke, Roman Catholics became the first Protestants.when they formally severed ties with the original Catholic Church 1400 years after Pentacost.
There is the Douay-Rheims Bible (not the 1917 translation) and the Original Vulgate translated by St Jerome into Latin c AD 395.
Th Jews who wrote the Bible came from tribe of Jacob and it was written not about the supreme creator of all worlds but the invading aliens who wanted to be worshipped as gods....the supreme creator is never mentioned
