  • New American Bible: A Catholic Bible translation first published in 1970. It was specifically translated into English by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine under the liturgical principles and reforms of the Second Vatican Council (1962-1965).

  • Douay-Rheims Bible: See the note on this translation in the Wikipedia article. The entire version of this Bible is availalble for download on the Web site of Project Gutenberg. LibriVox has MP3 audio files of 9 of the books of the Old testamet of this translation.
