Are there any Spanish speakers here that can recommend a Spanish version of the Bible?

[Not of the World]

I would like one that uses modern language so that it is easier to understand.  Thanks in advance.

The NASB is printed in an English/Spanish format, my friend. That might be what you're looking for.

As for the most popular Spanish translation, the Reina Valera 1960 is it. That's essentially a KJV translated in Spanish (the 1960 revision is the one to look for). This was the translation used for the Protestant movement since Spanish-speaking nations tend to have a Roman Catholic majority.

Thanks.  Do you speak Spanish?

Interesting.  I too speak a little.  My wife is Mexican.  I have a son and a daughter that are both bilingual gringos.

Biblegateway.com has most of them, you can put one or more in parallel with the KJV, and/or your preferred English.

Try the bible hub. You can have English and Spanish side by side and search wherever you want.

I use it in English and can search out various versions at the same time, with Spanish interpretation simultaneously.

Que tal,  mi hermano.

Working a half century on job sites, often the only English speaking gringo, I can speak Tex-Mex....

I speak a smattering of a few languages apart from English: German, Spanish, and Japanese. Considering how Spanish and English share many cognates in common, Spanish is probably the easiest for native English speakers to pick up. 

For example, no.

Bueno, as they say here in New Mexico. My first introduction to Spanish was via a friend from San Juan, Puerto Rico. I worked with her in Austin, Texas. This was when I discovered the profound regional dialectal difference at play...

I would try out what I learned from my friend and Mexican-American colleagues at work would laugh. "You don't have to be so formal!" they'd say to me. Not long after this, I discovered Castilian. 

Some dialects are closer to Castilian than others. 

In college, my Spanish language professor was from Argentina! 

Here in New Mexico, my teachers were friends from the Spanish Land Grants. "Bueno, bro!" they would say.

 

 

I stick to Spanglish, brother. It's pretty common in New Mexico.
