The New American Bible (NAB) published in 1970, is The Bible that Catholics hear read at Mass.
It was produced by members of the Catholic biblical scholars in cooperation with the United States Conference of Catholic Bishops. The translation into English from the original languages was by the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine according to the principles of Vatican II for use in the liturgy.

∙ 13y agoGreat question! The Vatican approves and disapproves actually many types of Bibles. It is country and language specific. It depends a lot upon the bishop in the diocese in which one is associated with. In America, it is: The New American Bible approved by a council of Bishops, the USCCB (United States Conference of Catholic Bishops)
There really isn't one "standard" per se because there are many languages. This happens because when one translates Holy Scripture from one language into another, some of the words can lose meaning. For example, consider Matthew 16:18 where Jesus uses the word "Hades". What would this mean, for example in Chinese, where the concept of Hades (Greek for 'hell') is not a common concept?
If you aren't an American, it's best to ask your local priest this question because they would know what their bishop has approved.

∙ 10y agoIn English, there are many popular translations available. The American Church uses the New American Bible for its lectionary. The Vatican uses the Revised Standard Version, Catholic Edition, in most of its English translations, for instance in the Catechism. Many of the most popular study Bibles are based on those versions, as well as the Jerusalem Bible. There are also several popular translations based upon the Vulgate which are excellent for devotional reading, particularly the Knox translation, and the old, reliable Douay-Rheims.
