Bible Question (short): Is NIV version not worded right?

Question (full): My NIV version puts it quite differntly:And for your life blood I will surely demand an accounting. I will demand an accounting from every animal. And from each man, to I will demand an accounting for the life of his fellow man. Genesis 9:5
What are CEV and NLT translations?
My NIV version seems to indicate animals must give account for their actions rather than die if they kill a human as your two translations indicate. I just looked at King James version and it seems to match your two versions more closely than the NIV. Is the NIV version just not worded properly?
