Indeed, it's more of a translation of the directly spoken portions of the Bible from Greek (while being informed by other early sources as I mentioned above) to Galilean Aramaic.

The English text used in the project is actually incidental, and in the future I hope for it to be "swappable" against the Aramaic readings. This way, someone could read the English in WEB (which is Public Domain and why I used it as the base), or NASB, ASV, or NIV, or whatever they wish along with intoning the Aramaic portions as a liturgical and learning tool (with perhaps some exceptions where the English translation severely deviates from the Aramaic text presented, itself). Besides the actual resulting Aramaic text, the project will have footnotes and embedded articles that expound upon quirks of the Aramaic text and discuss insights garnered from the retrotranslation about other possible readings, the times and culture of the Bible, and direct explanations of the puns and wordplay so that the reader is given an idea about the potential undertones of the text.

Peace,
-Steve
