Different singers all record their own cover versions of the same song (such as the Beatles 'Yesterday') but the song stays the same.
In fact its interesting to see how they bring their own styles and arrangements to it.
Same with the Bible,different teams of translators each handle the original Greek in their own way but the underlying message stays the same.
The old King James Version is best in a lot of peoples eyes (including mine) because of its fearless style, whereas some of the newer versions are too wimpy and politically-correct, but useful for cross-reference..
