Most people use the NIV. However, if you want something more accurate to
the original, I suggest the Complete Jewish Bible, published by Jewish
New Testament Publishers. It uses normal language, whereas the NIV sounds
somewhat formal and the KJV very formal. However, if you want to get the
most words, you should probably use the NKJV.

If you use the Jewish translation, the Babel text is just before Parashah
3 (Lekh L'kha), in the book of B'resheet. (The copy I have has the
European breaks and names as well as the Jewish.)
