Transliterations + Translations: Mt 1:23, Mk 15:34, Mk 3:17, Acts 4:36
In several locations in the original Aramaic, a word or phrase is given in one dialect of Aramaic, and then repeated in another dialect of Aramaic. Also, at least once an Aramaic term with several possible meanings is given, and then a more-precise term specifying exactly what is meant is given. In those situations, when the original Aramaic was translated into Greek, the translators transliterated the first instance of the word or phrase, and then translated the repetition (or, the more-precise term). We start by looking at the original Aramaic.
a) Matthew 1:23 (based on Younan)
"Behold, a virgin will conceive and give birth to a son,
and they will call his name Aimnu-Ail,"
which is interpreted 'Aimn Allahan.'
[With-us (is) our-Allaha, i.e. our God is with us]
Note how both the first word and the explanation have "Aimn."
Also, both "Ail" and "Allaha" are Semitic references to God, judging by Mk 15:34:
==================.
b) Mark 15:34 (Younan)
And in the ninth hour, Yeshua cried out in a loud voice and said,
"'Ail! Ail! Lamna shwaqthani?'",
that is,
"'Allahi! Allahi! Lamna shwaqthani?'"
Note how both the first phrase and the recasting of it have "Lamna shwaqthani."
Also, "Allahi" is Aramaic for 'my Allaha,' while 'Ail' strikes me as being 'El'-- short for 'Elohim' i.e. a Hebrew term for 'God.' In the OT, both Daniel and Michael have 'El'-- short for 'Elohim'-- as part of their names.
==================.
c) Mark 3:16-17 (Younan)
And he named Shimon the name Keepa, and Yaqub the son of Zawdee and Yukhanan the brother of Yaqub, to them he gave the name Bnay-Raghshee [Sons of: Rage, or Tumult, or Thunder, or Feeling-- per Bauscher], that is, Bnay-Raima [Sons of Thunder].
Note how both the first phrase and the more-precise rendering of it have "Bnay."
==================.
d) Acts 4:36 (Younan)
Now Yosip, he who was named by the Shelikha [Apostles] "Bar-Naba," which is interpreted "Bara-d'Buyaa" [Son of Comfort/Encouragement], a Levite from the region of Cyprus. . . .
Note how both the first phrase and the other rendering of it have 'Bar,' which is Aramaic for 'son.'
We now look at those passages in the Greek translation of the original Aramaic.
