Looking for Aramaic translations, written as it is spoken. - AngelicLights - 02-02-2010

Hello,

For a while I've been looking for translations of the Aramaic language. Not the way as Aramaic is written but as it is pronounced. For example about the only thing I have found so far is:

"Eli Eli lama sabachthani?"
translation: "My God, My God, why have you forsaken me?"

I wish I could find translations like that from the Bible, as many Aramaic words as possible, translated from Aramaic to English or from Aramaic to Dutch.

It's hard to find any books about it that i could buy or rent in libraries. I've been searching everywhere, but even on the internet it is hard to find.

If anyone can help me out with a website URL or a place where I can order a book on the internet to buy, or anything else that could help me, I would feel so greatful to you.

Thank you in advance. <!-- sBig Grin --><img src="{SMILIES_PATH}/happy.gif" alt="Big Grin" title="Happy" /><!-- sBig Grin -->
