The Douay-Rheims (Challoner revision) English-translation of the Scriptures
if free of copyrights, and the entire text is available on a number of
websites; here's one:

The style of English will seem familiar to readers and fans of the KJV (as
it came out of the same period), though in places it bears a number of
"Latinisms" that, in all truthfulness, are today as unfamiliar to most
Catholics as they are to most Protestants. Even so, it is a good, literal,
and *free* translation.
