Lamsa's translation of 1 Thessalonians 4:13 from the Peshitta has the phrase:
"...you should not grieve over those who are dead, as those who have no hope."
That makes perfect sence to me. However, Mudock's Peshitta translation reads:
"...ye should not mourn over them who have fallen asleep, like other people who have no hope."
The accepted Greek text uses κοιμωμένων (ones sleeping).
Comments on the Aramaic text would be appreciated.
Thanks,
Otto
