"The KJV was the result of the combined efforts of about fifty scholars who took into consideration the Tyndale, Coverdale, Matthews, Great, Geneva and Rheims Bibles."

1537 - Tyndale-Matthews Bible… printed in English

The King James Bible was translated from a Greek text "Textus Receptus" which was compiled in 1516 by Erasmus. Although there were some original manuscripts available they were not used. Aramaic was the common language spoken in Israel in Jesus' time, and it was likely the language He spoke day by day. While some Aramaic words were used by the Gospel writers in the New Testament. The New Testament, however, was written in Greek.

Are the ten commandments in the king James bible repeated in the new testiment?

The King James Version of the Scripture is to be an accurate account of all scripture within the bible. The 10 Commandments are such and therefore copied and translated over into the English. It is curious to realize that in the time of the Apostles, if you spoke of Ot or Nt, they would probably look at you as if you were strange. These terms did not exist.
