Peace:
Man, why is this so hard to understand?? :?
Different translations: Lets take the word "Hello" Translated into French, "Bonjour"; Russian, Privet or Zrasvoydia. Ok, TWO translations for the english word "Hello". However, notice in Russian I have used 2 words, both are a greeting, both used as "Hello", both are correct. "Privet" is the most common, whereas "Zrasvoydia" is normally used between strangers as they pass. Regardless, both are a greeting of "hello" in translation and both are correct.

Over time there have been 450 versions of the Bible produced. The ones listed above are just a few. There is only ONE Qur'an and has only ever been ONE Qur'an.
I hope you now understand the difference in translations and versions.
