Peshitta Forum

shlomo lkhoon aHay,

I'm thinking of translating the Book of the Prophet Isaiah from the Peshitta Text and Masoretic Text (Syriac Version). (This wouldn't be an interlinear, but a straight translation with the actual text in Syriac-Aramaic.)
Please let me know if this is worth it or not?

Here's a link to a sample of the layout:

Two words:

DO IT! <!-- s:bigups: --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/bigups.gif" alt=":bigups:" title="Big Ups" /><!-- s:bigups: -->

shlam lekh khat Christina,

You don't have to tell me twice! <!-- s --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/happy.gif" alt="" title="Happy" /><!-- s -->

I will continue updating the PDF that is at the beginning of this thread until I finish the translation.

P.S. Additional clarification on the first message of this thread. Although this is not a word-for-word-interlinear, it is an interlinear in the sense that it goes Aramaic-English-Aramaic-Etc...

shlom lkhun,

I just finished translating the the first chapter of the Book of the Prophet Isaiah from the Peshitta OT; I hope that everyone enjoys it!

-The English is on the left hand side and the Syriac-Aramaic on the right hand side
-I've also added all the vowels marks, vocalisation marks, and punctuations.
-The Peshitta OT has some beautiful and interesting readings!
-I will soon start working on Chapter 2.
-The link for the chapter is at the beginning of this thread.
