Each team of translators interpreted the original text in their own way, but no big deal, the basic message beneath the words comes through well enough.
It's like different singers who all do their own version of well-known songs, using different musical arrangements and so on.
The King James Version is fearless whereas some more modern versions are wimpy and politically-correct.
