book of Hebrews: better from Greek, or Aramaic?
Do you think ‘saved’ belongs in the renderings of any of these passages?:
Mt 10:22
Mt 24:13, 22
Acts 27:20 

Does “moon” belong in Acts 27:20?

Matthew 24:22 
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/matthew/24-22.htm
https://biblehub.com/matthew/24-22.htm
(Aramaic Bible in Plain English) If those days are not cut short 
no one would live, 
but because of the chosen ones, 
those days will be cut short.
(YLT) And if those days were not shortened, 
no flesh would have been saved [4982/esōthē/ἐσώθη/ would have been saved]; 
but because of the chosen, 
shall those days be shortened.

4982. sózó

Matthew 10 (KJV)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=KJV
21 And the brother shall deliver up the brother to death, 
and the father the child: 
and the children shall rise up against their parents, 
and cause them to be put to death.
22 *And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake:*
*but he that endureth to the end shall be saved.*
23 *But when they persecute you in this city, flee ye into another:*
for verily I say unto you, 
Ye shall not have gone over the cities of Israel, 
till the Son of man be come.

Matthew 24 (KJV)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...ersion=KJV
7 For nation shall rise against nation, 
and kingdom against kingdom: 
*and there shall be famines,* 
and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, 
and shall kill you: 
*and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.*
10 And then shall many be offended, 
and shall betray one another, 
and shall hate one another.
11 And many false prophets shall rise, 
and shall deceive many.
12 And because iniquity shall abound, 
the love of many shall wax cold.
13 *But he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.*
14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world 
for a witness unto all nations; 
and then shall the end come.
….
19 And woe unto them that are with child, 
and to them that give suck in those days!
20 But pray ye that your flight be not in the winter, 
neither on the sabbath day:
21 For then shall be great tribulation, 
such as was not since the beginning of the world to this time, 
no, nor ever shall be.
22 *And except those days should be shortened,* 
*there should no flesh be saved:*
*but for the elect's sake those days shall be shortened.*

Does this work?:   Mt 10:22 (modified Younan)
And you will be hated by all men because of my name,
but whoever that is sustained/fed [perhaps by living off the land, perhaps by going from house to house and city to city to obtain food] until the end,
he will live [as in, survive].

The CAL mentions “3  to feed, sustain someone  Syr. (a) of the earth  Syr. P Gn13:6… that land was unable to sustain them both to stay together.  ….  1  to be sustained  Syr. LawsCoun.22.17… (a) to be fed  Syr. P Acts27:21… when no one had been fed anything. IIMac5:27….”

Genesis 13 (Peshitta Tanakh, Lamsa translation)
http://superbook.org/LAMSA/GEN/gen13.htm
5 ¶ And Lot also, who went with Abram, had large flocks, herds, and tents.
6 And the land was not able to support them, that they might dwell together;
for their herds were so large that they could not dwell together.

I’m unaware of Peshitta Tanakh 2 Maccabees in English, so this is the closest I have for it:
2 Maccabees 5:27 (NABRE)
https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?se...sion=NABRE
But Judas Maccabeus and about nine others withdrew to the wilderness to avoid sharing in defilement; 
there he and his companions lived like the animals in the hills, eating what grew wild.

Acts 27:20 
https://biblehub.com/interlinear/acts/27-20.htm
Neither now hēliou/ἡλίου/sun nor astrōn/ἄστρων/stars appearing for many days tempest and no small lying on [us] from then on was abandoned hope all the 4982/sōzesthai/σῴζεσθαι of us  
Acts 27:20
http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/analyze_ver...ize=125%25
(Etheridge) And when the storm had held more days, 
and neither the sun was seen, nor the moon, nor stars, 
the hope that we should be saved at all was cut off.
(Murdock) And as the storm held on for many days, 
and as no sun was visible, nor moon, nor stars, 
all hope of our surviving was wholly cut off.
(KJV) And when neither sun nor stars in many days appeared, 
and no small tempest lay on us, [Greek:   epikeimenou/ ἐπικειμένου/ lying on [us]]
all hope that we should be saved was then taken away.

Acts 27:21
http://dukhrana.com/peshitta/analyze_ver...ize=125%25
(Etheridge) And while no man had taken any food 
[Aramaic:  a'k-d, a-n-sh, m-d-m, l-a, m-s-th-i-b-r:  And-after man something not nourished/fed], 
then stood Paulos among them, and said, 
Men, if you had been persuaded by me, you would not have voyaged from Kreta, 
and we should have been exempted from loss, and from this distress.
(Murdock) And as no one had taken a meal of food, 
Paul now stood up in the midst of them, and said: 
If ye had given heed to me, O men, we should not have sailed from Crete, 
and we should have been exempt from this loss and peril.
(KJV) But after long abstinence 
Paul stood forth in the midst of them, and said, 
Sirs, ye should have hearkened unto me, and not have loosed from Crete, 
and to have gained this harm and loss.

=======================================================.
In the afterlife, we can ask which came first, Aramaic or Greek.
I know little about the accuracy of the Latin Vulgate.
When arguing for Aramaic primacy, I find myself often quoting from Young's Literal Translation and the KJV because they often show more-explicitly what's occurring in the Greek and Hebrew.
For Mt-Acts 16, Younan's interlinear is the most-accurate.
For the rest of the NT, Murdock and Etheridge and Magiera have respectable translations of the Aramaic, though they do have mistranslations caught by Younan. I like that Etheridge and Magiera have 'sheol' transliterated rather than inserting 'hell.'
The _Lapid Jewish Aramaic New Testament_ started with Murdock as a base, and has far more transliterations than even Etheridge, which is nice.
