Uh, I'm familiar with the fact that one cannot read the Holy Scriptures in the Hebrew/Aramaic from copies of the autographs without some training in the languages therein. Can you read, understand, and study the Tanach yourself?

However, if one wishes to review and get a great familiarity with the Old Testament, one may use a good English translation, not inspired as the original. but good enough to please The God.

Before you let your opinion run away from you, you might consider the Septuagint and all that means. After that, please take a look at

Uh? Uh?

The Judaica Press and Artscroll both have much better translations of Tanakh than the JPS.
