Vic Alexander's Translation(s) are very good, especially when you wish to see another way of looking at things.
2. <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.aramaicpeshitta.com/">http://www.aramaicpeshitta.com/</a><!-- m --> has a collection of Aramaics.
3. Lamsa has been mentioned but be aware that the site contains errors that have not been corrected. I'll try rewording the joke: "I've heard of Scribal Errors but this is ridiculous."
For me, a Breakthrough came when I saw the Aramaic, "My God, my God, for this was I spared". The Lamsa site has "FEW this was I spared". Being a good little Doo-Bee, I notified the site and was told that there were mistakes in the SCANNING process. The mistake was still there, last time I looked.
4. Another Greek Translation which has been very helpful to me has been the Moffatt Translation: <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://archive.org/details/newtestamentnewt01moff">https://archive.org/details/newtestamentnewt01moff</a><!-- m -->
Moffatt was the first "Modern Translation" and it has any number of more-easily-read passages.
