which which is which? - Yochanan5730 - 07-24-2008
shlema shalom my friends and brothers/sisters <!-- s
--><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/smile.gif" alt="" title="Smile" /><!-- s -->i am wondering, since i am readily accepting of the peshitta as primary, which english translation of the New Covenant writings is probably best:
Lamsa?
Etheridge?
or
Murdock?
and are there other english translations i am not aware of? i'm not speaking of the recent ones (like in the last 10-20 years). i have noticed a major trend in people producing new peshitta translations.
todah rabbah (how does one say "thank you" in Aramaic?)
Yochanan

Out of the 3 options you gave, my choice is Lamsa BUT make sure you always have the actual Aramaic text with you when you read his version. Murdock & Etheridge are ok, Etheridge is the better of the 2 IMO. Of course once Mari/P.E.A.C.E. is released and when akhi Paul finishes his version we'll have no more need for those "golden oldies".

Christina, thanks for the kind nudging =)
Akhan Yochanan - "Todah Rabbah" is Aramaic for "many thanks!"
Take care!
