In school we made use of the Penguin Classics version. Hope that helps. Much Love and peace.

Professor who taught me (she taught Italian literature and Dante) recommended Mark Musa's translation. Also highly recommended translations are John Ciardi's, Anthony Esolin's, and Allen Mandelbaum's "prose" translation.
