Sorry, I don’t quite understand your question! I’m wondering what translation of the Bible this website is showing me…like NAB, NRSV, etc.
 
Ohhhhhh! I thought when you said “translation,” you were needing a different language.
 
It’s the New Jerusalem Bible:

The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) is a Catholic translation of the Bible published in 1985. The New Jerusalem Bible (NJB) has become the most widely used Roman Catholic Bible outside of the United States. It has the imprimatur of Cardinal George Basil Hume.

This translation is often held up to ridicule for going overboard on both “inclusive language” and colloquial speech―for instance, Jesus’ reply to John the Baptist in Matthew 3:15, “Leave it like this for the time being,” where most translations opt for a more formal style, such as “Let it be so now” or “Allow it for now”:
