John 1:1

You are correct that it is common in greek syntax to reverse the subject-object order from what we are used to in modern english. So translating just one word at a time from greek to english you will think it was written by Yoda: "if thirsty anyone is, water let him drink"

Not an expert in Aramaic so cannot answer your question more thoroughly.
