The BG has been translated at least 100 times. If I was to select one, I'd probably use the reviews on Amazon. Each translation will vary slightly, as it's been filtered through the mind of an individual. You didn't give the particular translation you have.
I've been to the Flushing temple ... maybe 30 years back. It is beautiful.
