Actually, yes there a few translational errors.
Example; the genealogy of Jesus as related in Matthew has one. There are as told in scripture, 3 sets of 14 generations.
In reality as translated there is 2 sets of 14 and the third only has 13.
This due to the Greek word translated husband of mary, can actually mean any male relative.
If you read the Hebrew version of Matthew, it reads joseph the father of mary...
Correcting the generational error.

The original word of God has no errors....

We don’t have the original manuscripts. I was taught God preserves His Word. We need the originals.

1 Kg 15:5 "David did what was right in the eyes of the Lord, and had not turned aside from anything that He commanded him all the days of his life, except in the matter of Uriah the Hittite" But 2 Sam 24:10 "I have sinned greatly in what I have done." (Taking a census against God's will.) Thus, David committed a second sin. That's a contradiction. One does not equal two. So, you have to give up your religion, right, Hank?

I am a Protestant Baptist and we are thaught that the Bible is inerrant and infallible, is it the case for Orthodox?

If there were mistakes in the Bible, they would have been printed in the papers.
