Shlama Akhi ('Peace [be] Unto You') Daufoi,
Welcome to Peshitta.org!
I'm sure that someone here could help you.
"Holy Bible in Aramaic" sounds like George M. Lamsa.
Otto is our resident Lamsa expert here.
The other Syriac (a dialect of either Eastern or Western Aramaic) translations that I know of are:
James Murdock's Peshitto.
John Wesley Etheridge's Peshitto.
Charles Cutler Torrey's: 'The Four Gospels'.
MANY editions of Lamsa's 'New Testament' and his 'Holy Bible'.
Herb Jahn's 'Aramaic New Covenant--A Literal Translation and Transliteration'.
The Way International's 3 Volume Aramaic/English New Testament. (I used to think that this translation was a TEAM effort, but it was done by only ONE PERSON, a lady who's name I cannot at the moment remember).
The folks at The Way Int. told me this over the 'phone.
Paul Younan's Interlinear Aramaic/English Gospel's (Paul's working on Acts right now........he's on Chapter 15, if I remember correctly......GO PAUL!!).
Victor Alexander's 'Disciples New Testament'.
'The Aramaic Gospels and Acts' translated by Joseph Pashka.
Janet Magiera's "Peshitta New Testament" (Which is really the Western Peshitto).
Dave Bauscher's 'Aramaic/English Interlinear Translation of the New Testament'.
And his (Dave Bauscher's) 'The Original Aramaic Gospels in Plain Englsh'.
And lastly, I would INCLUDE Willis Barnstone's 'The New Covenant', which is really a GREEK TO ENGLISH New Covenant, but he includes some readings from the Syriac New Testament, as well as Hebraic readings that are his own translations.
And of course, our own beloved Akhi Andrew Gabriel Roth's forthcoming Mari/P.E.A.C.E. Eastern Peshitta translation in August, or September perhaps.
If I was guessing, I'd say that you bought a Lamsa Bible......can you tell us what it looks like, the publisher, and the publishing year?
Or better yet, the ISBN number?
Take a look at Amazon.com, and see if it's under "George M. Lamsa Holy Bible".
Those are the modern 'Aramaic' translations that I know of.
If any of us can be of more help, just let us know.
Shlama in Yeshua, Albion

I purchased a copy of the Holy Bible in Aramaic. Someone was telling it might have been an Aramaic translation of the Greek version of the Bible. Anyway to find this out?
Thanks.
