Pic: Sunset in Cyprus with a Lovely Ship at Sea

Ah, the romantic sight of a ship pulling into harbor for the night just as the sun sets behind the cooing passengers, back from a seaward adventure. Every cloud has a silver lining and the sky is full of gold.

 

Um, actually, this ship ran aground here, off the coast of Cyprus. In 1972. And it’s still sitting there. But you wouldn’t know all that just from looking at the picture.

 

A picture paints a thousand words. It’s just that sometimes those words are completely inaccurate.

 

That’s why we endorse the Aramaic English New Testament: True Words.

Aramaic NT Verse Comparison: Lamsa vs. AENT

Leave a reply
Yochanan1-aentcloseup500x375
Closeup: Yochanan (John) Chapter 1, found on pg. 232 in the AENT.
Q:  “Is there a difference between the Lamsa translation and the AENT?”

 

A:  The Aramaic English New Testament (AENT) is founded upon the translation by George Lamsa, as well as translations by Paul Younan, and Etheridge, and Murdock, with significant improvements upon each of these translations.    Further, the AENT translation also consulted the Khabouris Manuscript (disc. 1954) which was not done by these other four translations.

 

In addition, the AENT is special, since the Aramaic is printed side-by-side with the English.  To the best of my knowledge, there is not a Lamsa book in diglot form, with both languages.  The reason this is important is for proof that the Aramaic has been translated correctly.

 

Here, I can give several examples:

 

Philippians 2:11 Lamsa:
“And every tongue shall confess that Jesus Christ is the Lord, to the glory of God his Father.

 

Philippians 2:11 AENT pg. 592:
“And that every tongue should confess that Master YHWH is Y’shua Mashiyach[1] to the glory of Elohim his Father.”

 

We can see here that Lamsa followed the Greek tradition, writing “Jesus Christ is Lord” instead of following closely what the Aramaic actually says.  The Greek has been adequately expressed in English by the King James, aka Authorized Version:

 

“And that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” (Philippians 2:11 AV)

 

Does the Aramaic actually say that “Master YHWH is Y’shua Mashiyach…?”  Let’s check:

 

וכֻל לֶשָן נַודֶּא דּמָריָא הו יֶשֻוע משִיחָא לשֻבחָא דַּעלָהָא אַבֻוהי

 

So we see that in this verse, the AENT has more accurately rendered the Aramaic into English than the Lamsa translation — and the difference is powerful.

 

1 Corinthians 12:3 Lamsa:
“Therefore I want you to understand that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calls Jesus accursed; and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord but by the Holy Spirit.”

 

1 Corinthians 12:3 AENT pg.522:
“I therefore explain to you, that there is no man that speaks by the Spirit of Elohim, who says that Y’shua is accursed: neither can a man say that Master YHWH is Y’shua, except by the  Ruach haKodesh.[2]

 

By contrast, we see that the Aramaic is in fact worded the way the AENT claims:

 

מֶטֻל הָנָא מַודַּע אנָא לכֻון דּלַיתּ אנָש דַּברֻוחָא דַּאלָהָא ממַלֶל וָאמַר דַּאמַר דַּחרֶם הֻו יֶשֻוע  וָאפלָא אנָא מֶשכַּח למִאמַר דּמָריָא הֻו יֶשֻוע אֶלָא אֶן בּרֻוחָא דּקוּודשָא

In places where the AENT English differs from the English found in prior translations, the reasons are given in the AENT footnotes.

Aramaic English New Testament, Closeup

Leave a reply
Dsc00147

 

Here’s a close-up of the Aramaic English New Testament:  As you can see, the Aramaic text from the original Eastern Peshitta is on the right-hand page, and the matching English translation is on the facing page to the left.  מריא being the Aramaic cognate for the Tetragrammaton is represented in English as “Master YHWH,” and you can see for yourself that Holy Spirit, or Ruach haKodesh is truly רוחא דּקודשָא on the Aramaic side, the equivalent of the Hebrew רוח הקודש.  The precious name of the Messiah “Yeshua” or “Y’shua” is seen in the upper-right hand side of this snapshot from Acts 2 as ישוע which is spelled the same in either Hebrew or Aramaic.

 

Many other names are transliterated in the English to sound as they are in Hebrew/Aramaic, such as “Shlichim” (Apostles, or “Sent-Out Ones”) and “Urishlim” (Yerushalayim/Jerusalem).

 

The Aramaic is written in “Hebrew Block Letters,” or Ashurri Script, in the current 4th Edition and also the previous 3rd Edition.  In earlier editions, the Aramaic was printed in the Estrangelo font.  In actuality, both Alep-beets originate from Aramaic, which lent alep-beets to Hebrew and Arabic as well.

 

This Bible is available at JTOD.org/AENT.cfm and the proceeds help the work of Yerubilee in Israel.
