different companies and churches have their own versions such as the King James, Catholic Duay version, Living English, Good News etc and they publish them and claim the royalties

Royalties are irrelevant after a certain number of years. (100?) Nobody is paying royalties to do Shakespeare's plays - and the bible came LONG before those!

The Bible's been in public domain since long before there even was such a thing. There's no royalties to collect.
Besides, who would collect? Jesus' descendants? That would start a whole shitstorm of religious debate.

No one.
That is why there are so many different translation and versions. If someone gets a royalty - they would never allowed other people to print it.

I would say anyone who follows it. Royalties is payment and that does not always come i the form of money.

There aren't any. Whichever Bible Society that prints them get the sales revenue. Some churches like the Jehovah's Witnesses and the catholic Church changes some of the verses to suit their own purposes anyway.

hmm...
whomever published the bible in question would get a percentage of the profit... but as far as the royalties... that's a really good question.
