couldn’t God just ensure the translators do a perfect job?

Perhaps by sending the angel Gabriel to dictate it all word-for-word…

No, as @Dinkdink already mentioned, it was written down once, by a person we have very good historical records of, it was copied down very quickly, and within less than a generation there were religious authorities preserving its content.

Catholics and Protestants have slightly different Old Testaments, but Sunni and Shi’a have the same canon. There might be lively debate and scholarship about hadith and religious authorities/laws, but not the Koran.

"Let it be very clear, then, that when the church preaches social justice, equality, and human dignity; when the church defends those who suffer poverty or violence, this is not subversive nor is it Marxism. This is the authentic magisterium of the church.
