One of the worst I’ve seen is the RSV. Talk about watered down! It has a “prophesy” that a young woman will be with child. Like that’s never happened before!

My primary translation of choice is a revised version of the RSV, the Revised Standard Version, Second Catholic Edition (RSV2CE) published in 2001 by Ignatius Press. In the RSV2CE, Isaiah 7:14 is rendered:

"Therefore the LORD himself will give you a sign. Behold, a virgin shall conceive and bear a son, and call his name, Immanuel."

No translation is perfect, so that's why I have on hand for reference a good collection of different translations, both Catholic and Protestant. My favorite Protestant translation is the NKJV.

The one I saw was just a plain old RSV.
