Its purpose was to provide a unified English translation of the Bible for use in the Anglican Church, partly to resolve tensions between different versions (like the Geneva Bible and the Bishops’ Bible). The translators were about 47 scholars, mainly clergy from Oxford, Cambridge, and Westminster, who worked in six committees.

GENESIS - Chapter 1
In the beginning God created the heaven and the earth.
And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters.
And God said, Let there be light: and there was light.
And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness.
And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day.
And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters.
And God made the firmament, and divided the waters which were under the firmament from the waters which were above the firmament: and it was so.
And God called the firmament Heaven. And the evening and the morning were the second day.
And God said, Let the waters under the heaven be gathered together unto one place, and let the dry land appear: and it was so.
And God called the dry land Earth; and the gathering together of the waters called he Seas: and God saw that it was good.
The Douay-Rheims Bible is a Catholic English translation of the Bible, originally translated from the Latin Vulgate by English Catholic scholars in the late 16th and early 17th centuries. The New Testament was published in 1582 in Rheims, and the Old Testament in 1609 and 1610 in Douai.
For centuries, it was the standard English Catholic Bible before the mid-20th century (when the Jerusalem Bible and New American Bible emerged) and Its fidelity to the Vulgate gave it high doctrinal reliability in Catholic eyes.
This Bible was criticized by Protestants, they often accused it of being too Latinized, making the language unnatural. The heavy annotations were seen as controversial, since they openly criticized Protestant positions and supported Catholic teachings.
THE BOOK OF GENESIS
Chapter 1
1 In the beginning God created heaven, and earth.
2 And the earth was void and empty, and darkness was upon the face of the deep; and the spirit of God moved over the waters.
3 And God said: Be light made. And light was made.
4 And God saw the light that it was good; and he divided the light from the darkness.
5And he called the light Day, and the darkness Night; and there was evening and morning one day.
6 And God said: Let there be a firmament made amidst the waters: and let it divide the waters from the waters.
7 And God made a firmament, and divided the waters
that were under the firmament, from those that were above the firmament, and it was so.
8 And God called the firmament, Heaven; and the evening and morning were the second day.
9 God also said: Let the waters that are under the heaven, be gathered together into one place: and let the dry land appear. And it was so done.
10 And God called the dry land, Earth; and the gathering together of the waters, he called Seas. And God saw that it was good.
It’s explicitly based on the Reina (1569) and Valera (1602) versions, but with later revisions (notably 1862, 1909) incorporated.
Special feature: This edition is revised and cross-checked with the original biblical languages (Hebrew, Aramaic, Greek), which enhances its accuracy and scholarly credibility.
Unique aspect: It contains explanatory notes and cross-references correlated with the canonical books recognized by The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints (LDS / Mormon Church).
The Reina-Valera is a cornerstone of Protestant faith in the Hispanic world. Traditional editions (like the 1909 or 1960) are especially respected and among Catholics historically, the Reina-Valera was seen as a Protestant Bible (since Catholics used translations from the Latin Vulgate, like Nácar-Colunga or the Biblia de Jerusalén).
Related to language style compared to modern translations, this edition keeps a somewhat antique, reverent style, closer to early modern Spanish, but clarified in parts for readability.
1:1 EN el principio crió Dios los cielos y la tierra.
1:2 Y la tierra estaba desordenada y vacía, y las tinieblas estaban sobre la haz del abismo, y el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre la haz de las aguas.
1:3 Y dijo Dios: Sea la luz: y fué la luz.
1:4 Y vió Dios que la luz era buena: y apartó Dios la luz de las tinieblas.
1:5 Y llamó Dios á la luz Día, y á las tinieblas llamó Noche: y fué la tarde y la mañana un día.
1:6 Y dijo Dios: Haya expansión en medio de las aguas, y separe las aguas de las aguas.
1:7 E hizo Dios la expansión, y apartó las aguas que estaban debajo de la expansión, de las aguas que estaban sobre la expansión: y fué así.
1:8 Y llamó Dios á la expansión Cielos: y fué la tarde y la mañana el día segundo.
1:9 Y dijo Dios: Júntense las aguas que están debajo de los cielos en un lugar, y descúbrase la seca: y fué así.
1:10 Y llamó Dios á la seca Tierra, y á la reunión de las aguas llamó Mares: y vió Dios que era bueno.
Translator: Mons. Dr. Juan Straubinger (1883–1956), German-born priest and theologian who settled in Argentina. His translation is known as the Straubinger Bible (or Biblia Straubinger). It was first published in the mid-20th century.
Sources: Straubinger emphasized a direct translation from the original texts (Hebrew, Aramaic, and Greek), rather than translating from the Latin Vulgate like Catholic Bibles often did.
A distinctive feature of this edition is the extensive footnotes and commentaries. Straubinger sought to combine philological precision with Catholic doctrinal fidelity.
1 Al principio creó Dios el cielo y la tierra.
2 La tierra era confusión
y caos, y tinieblas cubrían la faz del abismo, mas el Espíritu de Dios se movía sobre las aguas.
3 Y dijo Dios: “Haya luz”; y hubo luz.
4 Vio Dios que la luz era
buena; y separó Dios la luz de las tinieblas.
5 llamó Dios a la luz día, y a las tinieblas llamó noche. Y hubo tarde y hubo mañana: primer día.
6 Después dijo Dios: “Haya un firmamento en medio de las aguas
que separe unas aguas de otras”.
7 E hizo Dios el firmamento, y
separó las aguas que estaban bajo el firmamento de las aguas que
estaban sobre el firmamento. Y así fue.
8 Llamó Dios al firmamento
cielo; y hubo tarde y hubo mañana: día segundo.
9 Y dijo Dios: “Júntense en un lugar las aguas que quedan bajo el
cielo y aparezca lo seco”.
10 Llamó Dios a lo seco tierra, y a la
reunión de las aguas llamó mares. Y vio Dios que estaba bien.
