(Of course you realize the difference between the word 'translate' and 'interpret'.)

Before The Bible was translated; it was all in Hebrew, Greek, and some Aramaic.

Most people do not read or understand those languages in their original form. So those scriptures were translated into the common language of the people.

Translating is not an easy job. It's not as easy as translating each individual word; but rather it involves translating the thought and concept of the ancient expressions and their meaning; and making them as accurate as possible into the new language. Sometimes there are not 'word equivilants'; and so at times new words were invented to convey an ancient way of expressing something.
