The phase [font=Estrangelo (V1.1)]0n0 0n0[/font] is found in the Peshitta. On pages 31-32 of the 3rd Edition of his book, The Original Aramaic New Testament in Plain English, Dave Bauscher says that this is equivalent to an idiom ???Ena Na??? which 97% of the time indicates speech from the Deity in the Old Testament Peshitta text (144 of the 148 times in five Old Testament books). He also says that it is equivalent to ???I am AHIAH ASHAR HIGH??? in Exodus 3:14, ???I AM WHO I AM???. Lamsa translates it as ???I am THE LIVING GOD???. Dave Bauscher uses this translation in evey occurrence when spoken by the Messiah in the New Testament.
For example, Bauscher translates John 10:11 as ???I AM THE LIVING GOD, the Good Shepherd, The Good Shepherd lays down his life for his flock.???
Comments please....
