There is one Holy Spirit, and One Word of truth. It is true there have been various translations (which do not differ greatly, nor do they differ in but the smallest of detail); and there are numerous versions of the Bible. Still the manuscript and the truth are the same.
There is not enough space here, nor do I have the time to explain how the Bible as we read it today came together.
Still I think you would find it enlightening to do a little more research and I think you would be surprised at how these come about.
There will always be new translations until the time when there is no need, when Christ has come to establish His government in the new heavens and earth. The new translations are to reach those who have not yet received the Word in their own language.

3,500 "versions"? Where do you get this number from? How many of them are in English?
The Bible has been translated into nearly 100 languages (if it's not a hundred by now).
There are only perhaps 50 versions in English. All of them basically say the same thing. I've studied most of them, and compared them side by side.
Nice try. It would be WONDERFUL if you actually knew what you were talking about.

well, punter. You don't really want an answer to this, but I'll give you one anyway.
Hebrew is a very complex language with words having different shades of meaning depending on how there used. In other languages, if a word has two meanings, when it is used only one of the meanings is meant. In Hebrew, ALL the meanings are intended.
This means a phrase can be translated in two opposite ways and both be correct.
The Torah is considered to have 70 levels of meaning. But it really goes on and on.
Hebrew has no word for "translate." The word "targum" means to interpret.
If you really want to know the answer to your question, learn Hebrew and you will see that all translations are lacking. But they can get you close enough.

The word Inspire, in any form, has nothing to do with the Bible.

ask yourself this... Why does the Bible have a trademark on it?

Not versions, I'm sure you mean translations.
