Have you read the Hebrew Bible Ice?
Yes, translated from the Hebrew, which matches what the Jewish scribes have been transcribing for millennia, have you read it?
I just wondered if you noticed any differences from the original to the translations.
Obviously not, the text has not changed, and the Dead Sea Scrolls really confirm this.
Dear IAC,
thank you for your comment.
Surely you can do better!
What i was saying to Adstar is that if he can not tell me who translated the Quran he had quoted then he must have translated it himself.
Why do you know whether he translated it himself or who provided the translation?

Dear IAC
I think Sam was refering to The difference in the translations.

Do you really think that he may have translated it himself? Surely you can do better.
The text has remained the same for millennia.
Dear IAC,
No its you and Adstar who need to do better.
So if he did not then why cant he tell me who provided the translation.

Was it way off or something?

The meanings have not changed, except where a few "liberal" translators have made de-emphasis of Jesus' divinity by some word selection, but it's all the same, except for the "thou's and thine's" of the King James.
"If?" Is it a wrong translation or not?
Dear IC,
thank you for your comments
the translations do change the meanign though, like this just one example
In the King James Version Ecclesiastes chapter 11, verse 1 reads like this: “Cast thy bread upon the waters and you will find it after many days.” The Contemporary English Version translates it as “Be generous and someday you will be rewarded.”)
So which one is right?
That is just one very mild meaning in translation difference.

That's a new one on me, so give me one with not a "very mild meaning in translation difference."
A few others, nothing consequential, so what is one that you know of with not a "very mild meaning in translation difference?"
Dear IAC
It is not the bible we need to be arguing about but the tranlsations or the people doring the translations.
