There is a project, called the World Edition Bible (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_English_Bible https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_English_Bible), that is attempting to rectify this with an open-source, scholarly translated Bible.

If you speak Biblical Greek or Hebrew, you might take a look at volunteering; I believe they've largely updated the Gospels, but the translations for a lot of the Hebrew Bible were still a bit wanting last I looked.
