Sheila —
This is following the naming convention of the Septuagint (also known as LXX) Greek translation of the Old Testament. They are transliterated from Greek instead of from Hebrew.
Traditionally, Christians have revered and relied on the Septuagint translation of the Old Testament. Recently, however, more attention, especially by Protestants, has shifted to the so-called "Masoretic Text" (MT) held in custody by the Jews. In the Anglosphere, being mostly Protestant, the MT-derived names of the Old Testament books have gained ascendancy, even in Catholic circles.
The upshot is that, for historical reasons, the names used in these Bibles shifted to a different set of names due to the influence of mostly Protestant biblical scholarship.
