> A translation is basically offloading all that to a team of scholars.

Those same scholars would say the same thing: You can not understand the original intent from a single translation. (For example some words have multiple meanings, and all the meanings are intended.)

Translations have different purposes, some are intended for smooth reading, or poetic language, or literal direct translation (never mind if it's hard to understand), or easy comprehension.

And ALL of them are valuable! If you have a specific need, pick the translation that matches your need.

But, for study, to really understand the material you need more than one, and in particular you need notes and explanation.
