The New American Bible, or New American Standard Bible (NASB) as its most recent version is known, is the modern Catholic translation of the Bible for Americans. It is fully available online.<ref>http://www.usccb.org/nab/bible/</ref>

It is based on the 1901 [[American Standard Version]], but seeks to provide a smoother reading in contemporary English. Old English "thee's" and "thou's" are replaced and words and phrases have been updated to the extent there familiar meanings have changed. Sentences beginning with "and" have been changed, sometimes substituting "then" or "but" depending on the context. Through consultation with original Hebrew and Greek texts, some passages have been corrected.

The original NASB claims to be the most accurate English Bible translation, conveying the meaning without changing it to suit modern views.
