Luc,
I know it was pretty harsh, but sadly true. All you need to do is take his edited text, then translate/transliterate it back into Aramaic...and then go try to find a Manuscript that reads the same way. I can't use it. It was created for a certain group who want the Bible to read a certain way, when it dosen't. That is a false image.
What he should have done is just stuck with what is found in the Eastern Aramaic Scriptures, and not added his ideas to them.
You asked for some examples...well, here are some for his version of the Book of Revelation.
Roth has this reading for Revelation 1:10, "I was in the Spirit on the day of our Master YHWH..."
In Rev 11:4, Roth changes the Aramaic reading "Mara" =Master, into "Marya" =Master-Yah where he has "...which stand before Master YHWH of the earth." But should be "...which stand before The Master of the whole earth." As Bauscher and Magiera have it, and which the text actually states.
No note for Rev 11:4 in the edition I have...but maybe he has fixed it by now?
In Rev 14:10, Roth has "...the wine of the wrath of Elohim..." But the text actually reads "...the wine of the wrath of Marya (Master Yah)..." both Bauscher and Magiera have the right reading, though they use the form of Marya that they like..."The Lord Jehovah" (B) and The LORD (M).
In Rev 14:13, Roth has "...that die in Master YHWH from now on." But the text actually reads d'Maran = The Master?so it should read thus. "...who die (or depart) in The Master from now on." Which both Bauscher and Magiera have in their translations of the same text that Roth says he uses. Again no note in Roth's edition that I have?
Maybe he has all these fixed in his latest edition? I'm not sure...He should have stuck with The Khabouris Text though... it?s The Peshitta. And as Jeremy has pointed put, even his Aramaic text, is a hybrid sort of text, which no one Manusript reads like in every place. This is why I made such a bold statement there...Andrew has took it upon himself to creat a new Manuscript, from various sources and edit an english text in the way he thinks it should read, but has no single support in any one Manuscript.
