God inspired the original authors of the book of the Bible.

Any translation is not inspired. It doesn’t work that way.

Wrong. It is the writings that were and are inspired (= God-breathed), not the writers. The writers were not the authors. The Holy Spirit was the author of the Scriptures at the time they were written.

The substance was recorded in the personal mode (sometimes using an amanuensis), style, and language utilized by the writer, as directed by the Holy Ghost.
