There are modern printings of the Bible that provide the original text in parallel with the translation, for study and analysis. Personally, I don't agree with the philosophy that every word in the Bible is inspired by God and is without error, so even a second-hand original->English->Lojban translation is acceptable for my own studies. That said, your suggestion *is* the best way to do it, especially with the differences between English and Lojban.
