You mean many translations of Bible?

Well, because there are many styles of translation.

And because some thought can be said in various ways.

There Isnt one Quran vertsion. It is true that the original is in Arabic but that has been translated in many other languages.
It is also true that the original Bible scriptures were written in Hebrew and Greek, but they also have been translated into many languages including Arabic, and most probably your own.

Maybe a lot of people want to translate the Bible. Wouldn't that be a lot of fun if one knew how?

You mean one translation? There are many translations of Quran.

You should probably specify your question a little more, what you mean by "version".

The differences among Bible versions are almost insignificant and they do not pose any problem to Christians. As for the Quran, it seems that the different versions cause division among Muslims. See text below:

Evidence of Multiple Qur'anic Versions​
Muslim source materials report that at least four different versions of the Qur’an existed before the political order was given to have them burned. (Refer to "Al-Tamhid 2, 247).
The four versions were written by people who knew Muhammad in person. Each person created their unique version of the Qur’an. Based on Muslims sources, the differences were serious enough to cause Muslims to be divided. The Islamic source "K. al Masahif" reports differences so serious as to cause one Muslim group to call another group heretics:
During the reign of `Uthman, teachers were teaching this or that reading to their students. When the students met and disagreed about the reading, they reported the differences to their teachings. They would defend their readings, condemning the others as heretical.'[Abu Bakr `Abdullah b. abi Da'ud, "K. al Masahif]
So a political decision was made to have only one Qur’an. This did not go over well with the original people who created their unique version of the Qur’an. Who were these chosen people?
Muslim source materials reveal some of these select people who are known to have created their unique version of the Qur'an. (Sahih Bukhari, Volume 5, Book 58, Number 150). [Search on the referenced site to find the number "150" if you want to verify the written literature].
I heard the Prophet saying, "Learn the recitation of Qur'an from four persons: (1)Abdullah Ibn Mas'ud, (2)Salim (who was killed in the 633 CE battle), the freed slave of Abu Hudhaifa, (3)Ubayy B. Ka'ab and (4)Muadh bin Jabal."
So a few select people close to Muhammad thought they knew the Qur’an and collected their personal version. These versions of the Qur’an became widely distributed and used. This is why Muslim soldiers were arguing and calling one another heretics.
After the "official" Qur’an was released and the order was given to burn all other versions, some very bad feelings came out. The following information from Muslim sources is probably the most important information you can learn about people who actually knew Muhammad in person. Let’s begin with Mas’ud, who was asked to burn his personal version of the Qur’an.
"How can you order me to recite the reading of Zaid, when I recited from the very mouth of the Prophet some seventy Surahs?" "Am I," asks Abdullah, "to abandon what I acquired from the very lips of the Prophet?" (Masahif" by Ibn abi Dawood, 824-897 AD, pp. 12, 14).

I tried to edit this but the time was up. If you click on the words above in the post that I made you will find more information on this subject.It came out as a sentance instead of a link. Why are there so many bibles and which is the best.The King James is the version that is most widely accepted by Christians the world over, it is concidered to be the most accurate. The NIV has some major verses left out that are extremely important. The Bible is the most widely read book in the world, so it is no wonder that so many would choose to come up with new translations. Some of the newer translations are written by people with agendas, and as time goes on, we will see more and more bibles, with less and less truth in them, therefore we need to be rooted and grounded in the truth so that we will recognize error when we encounter it.

"Left out", or "not added?"

because you are telling a lie, probably one someone told you.
that is not true. it is simply not true that there is only one version of the Quran.

there are hundreds of translations of the Quran, and there are 20 different Arabic versions of it.

setting aside the translations into other languages, there are many more versions of this than there are of the Hebrew & Greek scriptures that make up the Bible.
