Which Dhammapada translation(s)?

I share @Adutiya’s wariness in regards to Gil Fronsdal’s translations. For me, the reason is his dismissal of rebirth as an essential teaching. Bhante Sujato responded to one of Gil’s essays here: Should you believe in rebirth? Whatever!.

Of course, it doesn’t mean he can’t be an excellent translator. But it raises concerns about the extent to which his interpretations are in line with the EBTs.
