There is no such a thing as ideal translation of the bible, simply because there is no single bible. Each tradition has a different set of sources for the biblical text. Just for the old testament you can choose between Septuagint and Massoretic texts, and we know these two traditions existed for centuries already at the time of Jesus. For the new testament, you will learn that all existing copies differ from each other, sometimes with entire chapters or even books being added or removed. Modern translations use the so-called Text Receptus, which is an invention of Erasmus. So, a translation of the bible is just like the picture of a unicorn. Most people will agree on the general shapes, but when it comes to the details there is no way to determine if it is true or not, because there is no original to compare.
