Now this is something I would really question. I would be very reticent to
claim any kind of (divine) inspiration for any of my translation. 'A'
translates one way based on his presuppositions and 'B' translates another
way based on his. These may well conflict with one another. What spirit
inspired them? Jack Daniels? We're just humans doing the very best we can
while operating from certain viewpoints. Presumably we try to deal honestly
with the texts within those limits. That doesn't mean we are always correct.

Inspiration is no promise of inerrancy. It's the "trying to deal honestly" which is the operation of the Holy Spirit.
