One was by +[James Murdoch](http://books.google.com/books?id=_5IuQ1YXtgQC) +and the other by J. W. Etheridge. +Murdock based his work on the western text and Etheridge on the +eastern text. Both of them are still very useful in studying the +Peshitta. In the 1930s, Dr. George Lamsa, a native speaker of Aramaic, +completed a translation of the eastern manuscripts of the Peshitta and +began to travel extensively in the United States, teaching about the +value of studying Aramaic. From that time until the present, there has +been a renewed interest in fundamental Christianity to know about the +language of Jesus and what it has to contribute to biblical study. + + +Today there are several works available that employ different methods +of translation of the New Testament or portions of the New Testament. +The Hebraic Roots Version by Dr. James Trimm emphasizes the Messianic +beliefs of his branch of Nazarene Judaism. Herb Jahn published a very +literal translation using cognate definitions in his Exegeses Bible +from a computerized lexicon along with distinctive interpretations and +grammatical constructions incorporated by Jahn. The Disciples New +Testament by Victor Alexander, a native Aramaic speaker, uses an +idiomatic approach to the translation and contributes much in this +area. The American Christian Press has produced an interlinear version +of the New Testament in 3 volumes. Dr. Rocco Errico has translated the +Gospel of Matthew in a parallel edition with useful footnotes. Lamsa’s +translation is still available for purchase through HarperCollins +Publishers. Another work of great value is by Paul Younan of +peshitta.org, which is an interlinear version. Each of the above works +represents the distinctive beliefs of the translator. + +[Light of the Word Ministry](http:/www.lightofword.org/) has developed +this particular translation to fill in a need for a very accurate +literal translation, but in modern English. The method employed in +this translation is to preserve as much as possible the Semitic usage +and sentence structure, but in readable English. Idioms are translated +with dynamic equivalency. It adds many footnote explanations, +providing a way for the biblical student to begin study from the +Aramaic. There is a system of marking common expressions and idioms so +that the footnotes can be clear and not repetitious. It is meant to be +utilized with the complete library of references which are available +through Light of the Word Ministry. + +---- --- [[Home]] [[TitleIndex]] diff --git a/TitleIndex.md b/TitleIndex.md index c8cfcaa..2c605ac 100644 --- a/TitleIndex.md +++ b/TitleIndex.md @@ -185,7 +185,7 @@ Parent: [[JesusWordsOnly]] * [[TheDidache1]] * [[ThomasParallelsAngelfire]] * [[ThomasParallelsSchenk]] -* [[TyndalesCongregation]] +* [[UtfSyriac]] * [[WastheNewTestamentReallyWritteninGreek]] * [[WikiSoftware]] --- diff --git a/TyndalesCongregation.md b/TyndalesCongregation.md deleted file mode 100644 index be86e53..0000000 --- a/TyndalesCongregation.md +++ /dev/null @@ -1,19 +0,0 @@ - -John Foxe went so far as to call him “the apostle of England.” - - - - He translated ekklesia as congregation, not church. - - He translated presbuteros as elder, not priest. - - He translated metanoeo as repent, not do penance. - - He translated exomologeo as acknowledge, rather than do confession. - - He translated agape as love, not charity. - - -### Links - -[1]David Daniell, William Tyndale, Yale University Press, 1994.
