I always thought that I should do the translation myself to current colloquial English, for my own better understanding.

I didn't know about that link, thanks! Anyone know if there is a printed version that is similar? And, extending that request to other classic works too?

There are some editions, often made for schools, that have the original text on the right hand page with translations/explanations of the language on the left hand page. The description of the jokes, puns, euphemisms, and general turns of phrase that are no longer intuitive today enrich the experience for sure. Ask your local library.
