The Strong's Concordance Bible will have exactly what you're looking for.

I've never seen a good one. Often, one Hebrew or Greek word will have 10-15 English equivalences, and many times, they aren't synonyms. Also, Hebrew and Greek are riddled with idiomatic phrases that do not come over well into English. Additionally, translators often have to add words or phrases in order to make the Hebrew and Greek make sense in English. The best thing you could do would be to take an ancient Hebrew course and course on konie Greek, then you could do it yourself, otherwise, you are pretty much at the mercy of the different translations (most of which are pretty good overall but still lacking in areas).

That really wouldn't be helpful, unless you can read the languages.
In addition, Hebrew is read right to left. So Genesis would start at where Malachi would be in our Bible, also the order of books are different in the Hebrew O.T. then in the English Bible. I think it would only serve to confuse you. I have copies of both the Hebrew O.T. and Greek N.T. I sit down with an English Bible and translate with either one, but a combined I don't believe would be practical.

The Strong's concordance will give you a translation by word....
But there are many words in the Hebrew specifically that derive some of their meaning from the context. So an exact word for word translation is difficult.
www.blueletterbible.org has a very good translation along with commentary and concordances built in. Very good for in depth study of the Bible.

Go check that out. It comes with a KJV red-letter Bible with Strong's concordance. If you hover your mouse over the numbers next to each word, it will give you the appropriate Hebrew or Greek word.
There are also Hebrew and Greek Bibles available for download.
Plus, it is 100% free (that is, excluding a couple of specific Bible versions which cost about $30 or so... but two or three pay versions amongst 30+ free versions is a seriously good deal).
There are also concordances, devotions, maps, and other things available for free download too.
I use E-sword constantly, and use it for all my research.

There is no such thing. The Bible cannot possibly be literally translated due to the vast language variations, grammar, and syntax, not to mention the historical word reference changes that have happened in the past 3000 years.

You might want to look into getting a Greek Lexicon if you want literal translations. (I don't know what the Hebrew equivalent is).

They're called "interlinear" Bibles, I have one from Zondervan, you can get them usually at Christian book stores, some Libraries have them and there are probably some available online :)
