The best one is the one you read. I got taken by the publishers of the AENT. They claim it was translated from 2 different Aramaic manuscripts (peshitta, and the 1910 codex I believe), then crossed with the most popular Greek texts. It was after buying this AENT translation and the Cepher (original Hebrew) that I realized the importance of source text for translation amd text critisism.
Do some study of Greek and Hebrew key words or themes that recur throughout the whole of scripture. There are 2 podcasts that I listened to to get lots of info (earlier episodes) “my strange bible by Tim Mackie” and “the naked bible bully Michael Heiser” both are PhD’s, and Tim is a pastor.
An example of what I’m talking about is this:
Ezekiel 9:4 talking about the mark on the people. The word for “mark” is the hebrew word tav which when written in the alphabet from the tome period ezekiel was authored looks like a cross. It doesnt matter the translation, only the source text matters. The aurhors of these books word absolutley brilliant in their literary structure, form and use of specific words. Like Jesus’ parable of the wheat and weeds. The word for weed is zizaneon. This word is used exclusively in this parable….. if you want to chat more about it let me know.

Just based on its first page with the quotation of John 3:16, they mangled this. I would stay away.

IMO, the NASB is the best English translation for specific word meaning from the source text. But it’s very difficult to read, especially in the parts with poetry.
