	Pshitta - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		The Pshitta (sometimes romanized as "Peshitta") is the Aramaic version of the New Testament.
		While it uses the language in which Jesus ordinarily conversed and taught, it was not written down as early as the Greek version.
		A camel could also be led through such a "needle eye," but only with great difficulties.

		The Pshitta Version (the Aramaic version, which is older than the Latin Vulgate) does indeed use the word zira or zeira for ‘least’, meaning small or young, as opposed to rabba, meaning great or old.
		The Pshitta (Aramaic) version of the Gospels uses the word ma‘muditha, from the verb aa‘mid which means ‘to stand up like a pillar’.
		Perhaps they caused their proselytes to stand straight like a pillar in a pool of water or river, in order to be baptised, whence the Pshitta name of Ma’muditha.

	On the history of the term "Sepharad" (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-02)
		But scholars assume that the Targum Jonathan is much later than that, and certainly "Espamia" could well be a gloss by an even later hand.
		The Pshitta, a Christian Aramaic translation of the Bible, also glosses Sepharad to refer to Spain.
		Here too, the date of the Peshitta is hard to determine; any dating based on this occurence would involve careful examination of variants in manuscript texts.

		You state that in the Pshitta Acts Jesus' name is literally rendered at "Jesus the Nazirite".
		This would tend to confirm the view that Jesus was originally a member of the ultra-ascetic sect of Judaism known as the Nazirim.
		Second, what the text of the Pshitta actually calls Jesus in Acts 2:22 is a "Nassraya." In Aramaic, -aya is a common gentilic suffix, meaning that you use it to turn a noun into a word describing a group of people.

		Although the Pshitta (circa 350 CE; the Syriac version of the New Testament) in no way represents the actual words of Jesus, it does give us a multitude of clues as to what the language of Jesus might have sounded like two thousand years ago.
		Again, since the Pshitta is translated from the Greek manuscripts, it cannot for a minute be entertained as the actual words of Eesho M'Sheekha (Jesus Christ as he is called in the Pshitta).
		To call this the actual words of Jesus would be equivalent to translating the original inimitable Arabic of the Qur'an into Spanish and then losing the original -- then using only the Spanish translation to reconstruct the classical Arabic of the original!

		Steve Ray's message board is a major forum for Catholics to exchange views, ask questions, and find out more about their faith.
		Recently I posted a scan of Matthew 16:18 from the Pshitta, the standard Aramaic version of the New Testament.
		So what caught my eye was this: In the Pshitta, Jesus says the gates "of sh'ol" will not prevail against it.

	Re: Ehyah= I am, Ashur= God, Ehyah=I am"
		The original is the Pshitta (Pshitta OT is called Pshitta Tanakh).
		The closest Assyrian Aramaic to English translations are those of Dr. George Lamsa, Vic Alexander, and those who translated from the Pshitta text.
		If you study Pshitta Primacy you will see that it is quite different from the white people's bible.

	The falsification of Scriptures by secular scholarship
		There are common roots in vocabulary and the grammar is essentially the same, but the spoken language now would be incomprehensible to a person at the time of Jesus.
		Also the Pshitta was used as a source and not the 4th Century AD Urhai University compilation of the Scriptures.
		This poor effort at translation took place in the mid-19th Century.

	Islamic Web —— What all Christians and Jews MUST know about the Bible
		It is only the Syriac Pshitta (in Arabic called al-Bessita) that has translated it into "He to whom it belongs." It is easy to see how the translator has understood the word as composed of "sh" abridged form of asher= "he, that," and loh (the Arabic lehu) = "is his.
		' Consequently, according to the Pshitta, the clause will be read in the following manner: "Until he to whom it belongeth come, And," etc. The personal pronoun "it" may refer to the sceptre and the lawgiver separately or collectively, or perhaps to the "obedience" in the fourth clause of the verse, the language being poetic.
		According to this important version the sense of the prediction would appear to be plainly this:-

		It had received from its Western brethren the system of government that was universal throughout the world (Bishops, Priests, and Deacons), and before the rule of the Parthians had ended, the Scriptures had been made as accessible to them in their own vernacular as the circumstances of the day would allow.
		That is, the Syriac version of the Old and New Testaments on which the "Pshitta"' version of a later day was based had already been made, though one can hardly say that it was widely circulated.
		The Assyrian Church, too, had produced at least one scholar of distinction, though it would seem that his work was not done within the borders of his own land.

		Feb 25 2005, 11:09 PM I think I have to agree with Cam.
		The Targums or the pshitta can be quite useful for understanding the Hebrew scriptures because they give us insight into how ancient translators understood the text.
		By analyzing why the translators used one particular Aramiac word rather than another, we can make inferences about the meaning of the original text.

		Naturally there are also marriage and funeral service books (the latter varying for layman, cleric, and bishop, and being a large book), and the books of the Epistles and Gospels, and also of the old Testament lessons for liturgical use, form three more volumes.
		The version of the Scriptures invariably used in our Church is the "Pshitta." This is freely used in their own homes by all of our people who can read.
		The version in "Urmi Syriac" printed by the American Mission at that place is actually less intelligible on the mountains than is the "old language" of the Pshitta.

		Joel Osteen is going to convert to Islam because he is a sensible, honest, and compassionate person who will realize one day that the worship of Jewish men and triune deities in against reason and scripture.
		Jesus said according to the Pshitta (Syriac New Testament): "Goovay hoon la'ovdai shlomo, daven'ahi d'Allaha nethqroom." -- Blessed are those who are Muslims (makers of shlomo), for they shall be called the children of "Allah" (God in Syriac and Arabic).
		To your point Denny Burk, there was a time when Billy Graham was a lot more hard-lined and straight-forward under this type of questioning.
