The Douay-Rheims translation is the most accurate. You can directly reconstruct the latin[1] from it.

The Douay-Rheims is a translation of the Latin vulgate, which is itself a translation of the earliest Greek/Hebrew texts into Latin. The vulgate itself is imperfect, and the Douay-Rheims is more like a translation of a translation, so I wouldn't call it the "most accurate"

But Greek is the original language of the NT...

And there's definitely translations directly into English and other languages from Greek...
