Hi Seth
I don't think there is such a thing as a " reliable,
readable, word-for-word based English translation."
I think there are many excellent translations in English, but the ones that
are good English do not sound like word-for-word translations at all. And
the ones that try to be word-for-word translations don't sound like the
English I speak and hear spoken, nor like the English that I read in books
other than literal bible translations.
Did you know there is a bible translation email list, too? It has a very
good website, hosted by Wayne Leman, who has worked on translating the bible
into the native American Cheyenne language with the Cheyenne people for the
past 27 or so years.
See http://www.geocities.com/bible_translation/
You will probably find information there about his email list, too.
