Is “knowing the original languages” the same thing as knowing the ancient original languages? Are Hebrew and Greek spoken today the same way they were five to two thousand years ago? Languages change over time, new words and concepts develop over time. I’m pretty sure The Lord has ways to preserve his words to mankind over all that time. I commend you for your scholarship.

They sure do - old versions of the same languages are just as diverse as English 300 years ago is so different from that of today! LOL
