On the feast of St. Jerome, no less :)

There is no such thing as a "most accurate translation." Learn Latin if you can, but even then you will never fully understand all the connotations and cultural subtext of Sacred Scripture on your own. You can learn Greek (I did for this same reason) but there will still be a language gap from the Aramaic Christ spoke. As English speakers, we are, at best, three languages and 2000 years removed from the language and context of Sacred Scripture.

I don't say this to be discouraging but to emphasize the importance of Biblical inerrancy. God bridges the gap between 21st-century believers and 2000 years of dramatic historical and linguistic change, not human translators.

Translating Latin to English is an art, not a science. Translating Latin to Spanish or Italian is a lot more accurate but still not perfect. Don't waste your time searching for "the most accurate English translation." Such a thing does not exist.

That said, I'd go for a [Latin Vulgate and Douay-Rheims interlinear](https://www.amazon.com/Holy-Bible-Latin-English-Testamenti/dp/1635489792/ref=sr_1_1?keywords=Latin+interlinear+bible&qid=1569904281&sr=8-1). It's also a great way to practice Latin (if you want to learn it, that is).
