Dona nobis pacem
The NRSV sounds like a good translation.
It is my favorite. If you are looking for a bible and can get your hands on a NRSV-Catholic Edition (There are several editions, so make sure you look for the Catholic one), I highly recommend it. The scholarship is excellent, and it is very true to the source materials. It is also written in fully modern language, but at a higher reading level than many popular bibles (Which allows for more complexity of meaning to be conveyed), and in a very poetic and majestic style that has lineage in the King James Bible and it's descendents while still rendering things fairly literally in many cases.
It's not perfect, but it's the best I've seen. And it has the approval of the President of the USCCB (US bishops) for non-liturgical use right on the copyright page.
