Romans 9:5(NJB) To them belong the fathers and out of them, so far as physical descent is concerned, came Christ who is above all, God, blessed for ever. Amen.

Is this an accurate translation?

Some say no. The NAB says
Romans 9:5 theirs the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, is the Messiah. God who is over all be blessed forever. Amen.
And the bible produced by Jehovah's witnesses says:
Romans 9:5 to whom the forefathers belong and from whom the Christ [sprang] according to the flesh: God, who is over all, [be] blessed forever. Amen.

In Greek it reads:
Romans 9:5 ὧν οἱ πατέρες, καὶ ἐξ ὧν ὁ Χριστὸς τὸ κατὰ σάρκα, ὁ ὢν ἐπὶ πάντων Θεὸς εὐλογητὸς εἰς τοὺς αἰῶνας·
In Latin:
Romans 9:5 quorum patres et ex quibus Christus secundum carnem qui est super omnia Deus benedictus in saecula amen
