It’s called “dynamic equivalency” where a word in one language can’t be directly translated into another so the closest word that fits is used. It depends on the translators of a particular version; the first common Bible to the people was the KJV - they used fear because of the monarchy of the time but also could have used respect; at the time it pretty much meant the same thing but today it’s a bit different.
