The bible is a many times over retranslation of oral traditions by many people over many millenia

Patently False.

The original scrolls in their original languages are the sources of all the translations.

Besides this, there are multiple cross checks, such as the letters that the original leaders of the church wrote to each other, from which all but about 30 verses of the New Testament could be recreated.
Another cross check to the "multiple retranslation" myth is that the earliest works were translated into multiple languages on multiple continents, and these translations still "jive" with today's translations.

Patently False.

King James version of the bible. Well documented as having been translated from a Latin version of the bible. The scrolls you refer to were Armenian.
