Help with translation of 1 cor 15:29

[gbausc]

Shlama Jing,

Thank you for your kind words. You seem to be on the right track, spiritually. Keep seeking; you will find answers and grow in the knowledge of the truth.
Have you seen Paul Younan's Interlinear translation of the Peshitta on this web site ?
He has finished the gospels. We hope to finish the rest of The NT this year.
It is the only one of its kind, translated by one who has spoken Aramaic from childhood.

The important thing to remember about Aramaic is that it was the language Jesus and his countrymen spoke and that they did not know Greek. Josephus, who lived at that time and was a Pharisee and Jewish priest, wrote that the Jews did not understand Greek and did not encourage others to learn it. Josephus wrote the history of the Jewish people in several volumes in AD 73 to AD 90. He wrote everything in Aramaic; He said he did not know Greek sufficiently to speak it.

This should educate those who claim The NT was written in Greek. It was originally written to the Jews of Israel. They would not have been able to read Greek. God would not have done that to them.
Besides, the original language of the scriptures had always generally reflected the language of the characters involved in its accounts.

Why would God give us Jesus' words in Greek if Jesus spoke Aramaic ?
And the His people spoke Aramaic.

So much for that.

Peshitta.org also has two English translations of The Peshitto NT. Check it out.

Many blessings in our Lord,


Dave
