Hello, everyone. This is my first post. I have been perusing these forums for a while now, and have gleaned a TON from everyone. So, first off, thank you all very much for the incredible amounts of information! Now, on to my question:
I have recently been reading through some of the Apocrypha from the LXX. Particularly, the 1 and 2 Books of Maccabees. Sadly, I cannot find these online as translated from the Peshitta. Nevertheless, this leads to my question.
For those that are familiar with the LXX version of 1 Macc., you probably already know there is is only one reference to God (Theos) in 1 Macc. at 3:18 (I believe that's where it is). Well, I just finished 1 Macc. and started 2 Macc. and now, I'm seeing "Lord" and "God" all over the place. BUT! As we all know, this is simply "Theos" and "Kurios." So, my question is, does the Peshitta use the Name 'Mar-Ya' in 2 Maccabees? I had heard someone say that since 2 Macc. was not consider canon, they did not write "Mar-Ya" into it, but rather just mar (moro?), and this is where the Greek reads Kurios.
So, if anyone has the time to look it up for me, I would greatly appreciate it. Particularly places like 2 Macc. 1:8 and 1:24.
Thank you!
