I don't see anything wrong with the differently translated suttas. You are preaching to the unconvertible.

the sutta states:

chandamūlakā sabbe dhammā

All dhamma are rooted in zeal (chanda).

nibbānapariyosānā sabbe dhammā

All dhamma have Nibbana as their culmination/fulfilment. Buddha explained:

Bhikkhus, if a bhikkhu gains concentration, gains one-pointedness of mind based upon chanda, this is called concentration due to chanda.

SN 51.13 Bhikkhus, these four bases for spiritual power [the 1st being chanda], when developed & cultivated, lead to utter revulsion, to dispassion, to cessation, to peace, to direct knowledge, to enlightenment, to Nibbana.

SN 51.4 Yet it was asserted the five aggregates are rooted in zeal; that the five aggregates lead to Nibbana; that you are unconvertible?
