Moss Roberts has put out both a full unabridged version (this 4-book set, also published in a 2-book set and 2-ebook set), and a separate shorter abridged version. Whichever edition you pick up, the intro by the translator will mention if it is abridged.

There is also a full, unabridged translation by C.H. Brewitt-Taylor, and an unabridged 3-volume translation by Yu Sumei and Ronald Iverson. (This is not a comprehensive list!)(less)
