Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 15, 2010 at 5:59pm: Are there any translations of the full Bible from the Aramaic other than Lamsa's Translation? His translation is too much like the KJV.

Comment by James Trimm on December 15, 2010 at 6:12pm: No. And even Lamsa did not translate the Peshitta Apocrypha (which are part of the canon of the Peshitta Tanak).

A good resource some day would be the Masoretic Text, LXX and Peshitta translated literally in parallel columns and annotated with reference to the Samaritan text, the Dead Sea Scrolls and Masorah.

Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 15, 2010 at 6:57pm: That's my dream Bible, the LXX, Hebrew Masoretic, and Peshitta, in the original scripts with an English translation for each one. It would be a massive undertaking, but worth it.

Comment by Onieu bahn Duid on December 15, 2010 at 7:04pm: I'm working on a version that has extensive footnotes comparing often them. It won't be a parallel version, but it will be a very exhaustive edition =). Don't count on this being released anytime soon. We are looking at something like 3-10 years from now, depending how much time I am able to devote to it. =)

Comment by Gregg Key on December 16, 2010 at 5:15pm: Looking Forward to seeing this take place.

Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 16, 2010 at 6:50pm: Tell me how much it will be.

Comment by Onieu bahn Duid on December 16, 2010 at 6:55pm: my version? its hard to say because it won't be out for a long while, so their minimum policy may change, but its going to be the minimum price, because I don't want to make money off of it, so i'm charging minimum price the self-publishing website allows, which would be about $30.

Comment by Gregg Key on December 20, 2010 at 2:16pm: What is the best resource available to understand the original aramaic as spoken by Jesus? Thanks

Comment by Obadiah Robinson on December 21, 2010 at 3:54pm: I would say, go to a Maronite Catholic Church and ask the priest for lessons in Aramaic. They have their service all in the Aramaic spoken by Jesus.
