He started an inspired version, but was martyred before he could finish it. I have never seen a copy of it, but from the excerpts I've seen on ex-mormon.org, which shows King James version next to NIV next to JSR (Joseph Smith Rendition), the guy was wack. It's just not even close.

Whats the whole latterday saints thing?

The major idea is that Joseph Smith brought about the restoration of the church through revelation as a prophet of God. All Mormons are called "Saints" and we are living in the Latter Days. Hence the name.
