What should you use kjv or vulgate?

The choice between the King James Version (KJV) and the Vulgate largely depends on your preferences and needs. The KJV is renowned for its poetic language and has been influential in English literature and culture, while the Vulgate is a Latin translation that holds significant historical importance in the Catholic Church. If you are looking for a text with rich literary qualities in English, the KJV is a strong choice; for historical and theological studies within a Catholic context, the Vulgate may be more appropriate. Ultimately, consider your purpose, audience, and personal affinity for the language.

Why is The Bible in Latin?

Originally the Bible was written in Hebrew, Aramaic and Greek, but the complete text has been translated into hundreds of languages (with parts translated into over 1800 languages) including Latin, which was the language spoken by Rome in Jesus' day. "Imperial" Rome occupied Palestine during Jesus' time, and Latin was the 'official' language of that government, though not popular amongst the general populace. The word 'Latin' is mentioned only once in the Bible, at John 19:20, but it shows that it was a common language for Jesus' time period. Also many 'Latinized' names are mentioned IN the Bible, such as 'Aquila', 'Luke', Mark','Paul', Caesarea', and 'Tiberias'. By 2CE Roman religious leaders hoped to make Latin the official language everywhere, so the Latin Vulgate translation of the Bible by Jerome was produced in the 4th century.
