Those are intensely poor examples, for a handful of a reasons
- Language translations are extremely culturally dependent, and is a known quantity. Modern translations frequently have many translator's notes explaining the decision or edits made.
- Modern translations are transparent about their editorializing, there's a marked difference between "accurate" and "lay person" translations.
- The source materials were written and translated in times when we, frankly, had lower standards.
