*** Since there are too many differences between all the different Translations; and since I am mainly more familiar with the KJV and the New World Translation, I provide more information of the differences between them; but other translations follow the general practices of the KJV.
1) One of the main differences is the substituting of the Divine Name of Almighty God (Jehovah in English) with other renderings. The Divine Name appears in the ancient manuscripts nearly 7,000 times. The first King James Version for example only retained it in 4 places; the rest were 'substitution' words; thus there are nearly 7,000 MISTAKES regarding just 1 word. (It would make a normal person wonder if there are any other mistakes with other words; let alone with understanding the truths in The Bible.)
To their credit, the very latest version of the King James Version was released on the 400th Anniversary of the KJV; and it returned the name Jehovah back into all the places where they originally were anyway. This version is actually called 'The Divine Name King James Version'. Unfortunately there are so many older versions around; and this version is not being enthusiastically paraded as the latest; (many deeply religiously literate people, still do not know about this version. Some are learning about it on wiki answers as I have published it; yet there is a resistant spirit to quoting from it.)
To their credit, The New World Translation, from its very first edition onward, has always placed God's most Holy name, in its rightful place. This Translation is published by Jehovah's Witnesses. This makes 7,000 less mistakes than other Bibles which 'deleted' and minimized the importance of The Name in their versions of the Holy Scriptures.
2) The King James Version for example is only translated into only ONE language text; namely English. Whereas the New Word Translation text is translated into approx 96 languages, making it available to more people.
3) Many Bibles do not contain marginal notes, or footnotes; explaining alternate renderings of a particular word; other Bibles have those features as part of their text.
4) Many Bibles will translate a number of Hebrew or Greek words from the original texts - - and simply translate them as ONE word into English; even though they are different words originally. (Sometimes this involves up to 4 different Hebrew words, which are translated as 1 word into English.) Therefore the flavor of the word is lost; resulting in insufficient understanding of some Bible truths. The New World Translation tries to follow the rule of one-word-for-one-word in the new language (if possible.)

Is the Holy Scriptures the same as the Bible?
The Holy Scriptures are the same as The Holy Bible -- if you are a Christian. If you are of the Jewish faith, the holy scriptures will be, of course, the Hebrew Bible, sometimes called the TaNaKh*. These scriptures contain almost exactly what Christians have in what they call the Old Testament, but the order is different, and the viewpoint of some of the texts is different. Obviously, there are many other faiths in the world; each faith has its own scriptures -- entirely different texts. Because the term "the Holy Scriptures" can mean so many different things to different people, it is very wise to avoid the use of this term unless you are sure your audience is all of one faith. *TaNaKh is an acronym derived from the three sections in the Hebrew Bible. T - stands for Torah (law or guide), the first five books of the Hebrew Bible. N - stands for Neviim (prophets), the various books of the prophets. In the Hebrew Bible, Samuel is considered one of the prophets. Kh - stands for khetuvim (writings), those texts not otherwise covered in the other two sections. As you can see, the view of the texts in Judaism is a bit different from that of Christianity.
