I'm glad I found that first link to George Lamsa's English translation of the Peshitta.  But I noticed it is only the NT.  Is anyone working on the OT?

You might want to explore this site  http://www.foranansw...ord_Modules.htm

 

If you don't mind non-e-sword format you might just do a bing or Google search like this one you will find some good resources as well

Hi Johanseb,

 

I am the editor of what is called the Aramac Bible in Plain English on Biblehub.  It is now called the Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English, and we are into our 8th edition.

 

We have a module for the Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English, as well as the Aramaic - English Interlinear New Testament, on which it was based, which we have done with word numbers and a numbered Aramaic dictionary module.

 

We have modules for esword HD, LT, PC and Mac as well as Android. 

 

You can go to our website http://AramaicNT.com and follow the link to get the modules, we sell them as a bundle for $15- after all once you get the modules why shouldn't you be able to use it on any device that you want?  We are working out the bugs of our Estrangela font version and will be sending out updates to customers soon, all updates to our modules are free.  You get the numbered interlinear NT, plain English NT, numbered dictionary, full notes and commentary. The numbered interlinear comes in both the simple and vocalised edition which gives eastern pronunciation of all the words in the NT, right next to the Aramaic word. It is an excellent vocalisation and is perfect for those wanting to learn how to read Aramaic.

 

We are working on translating the OT, we actually have over 3/4 of the OT done in interlinear form at this point.  You will be seeing an interlinear module coming out this year..at least that is my plan.  We will try to do a numbered interlinear of the Aramaic Peshitta Old Testament and an updated dictionary at the same time, but a plain Interlinear will be coming up soon. 

 

Our edition is of better standard than the Lamsa edition, if you do some study on it you will see that it is considered by most to be a rather poor translation as it was influenced heavily after the KJV.  Not that the KJV is bad, but that is not how you do a good translation.  Our translations are direct and literal, word for word translations and our plain English versions are based completely on the interlinear edition.  We remain totally transparent in the way that Dave Bauscher, our translator, has translated these editions.  That is why we did the dictionary which has links to Dukhrana.com and the Comprehensive Aramaic Lexicon online, a total of over six dictionaries, all available on any e-sword or mysword edition with web access.

 

These modules are a group of tools that is available nowhere and will be really helpful for anyone wanting to do word studies in the Peshitta NT.

 

Blessings and Peace,

Tim.
