Some modern translations might have copyright rules preventing this without express permission (which may or may not be difficult to acquire, obviously other sites/apps have done it). They all have different rules and limitations but I remember reading that the NET Bible was specifically built for more permissive copyright requirements in the Internet age.

https://ebible.org/t4t/ might work? It's available in ex. https://andbible.github.io/ which bodes well for its licensing. It's also in conventional English (minimal jargon), which is probably a positive.

Edit: Actually, better yet: https://crosswire.org/sword/modules/ModDisp.jsp?modType=Bibl... has licensing info for each listed item

I just looked up NET because I was thinking the same thing, but it seems their free license is strictly for print versions and <1000 copies. Also if OP cares, its noncommercial. Their site has an email address posted for licensing inquiries though so you could ask!

As someone else pointed out, the WEB translation is public domain so it might be a better option.
