You are correct that the books were not written by the translators.
But the bible, the authorship of the bible, where all the books were put together, was written by Jerome.
He was the first to put together the canon as we know it now. Prior to Jerome, the books were separate from one another, and when placed together, did not have a consistant canon.
This is why we have books, and letters, gospels and the apocalypse, all different books, but just one bible.
And the 70 did the prequel. Some suggest that the prequel wasn’t quite as good.
No the author of the Bible wasn't Jerome; he was a compiler.
The men who wrote the content were the authors.

Not so! While various churches obtained copies of the individual gospels and letters, the first to compile them into one form was the heretic MARCION. His modified Luke’s gospel, and Paul’s letters.
This shook up the Chritian believers so much they began to compile their own.
The un-disputed Christian bible at that time was
The four Gospels, Acts, the Letters of Paul (except Hebrews) 1Peter, 1 John and that was it.
Among the disputed books were finally added years later, James, 2nd Peter, 2&3 John, Jude, Revelation and Hebrews.
Interesting thing, the ROMAN church did not want Hebrews in the Bible, the Greek church did not want Revelation.
They compromised and put in both.
