Aramaic Bible

Eashoa Msheekha

Jesus the Messiah spoke in the Galilean dialect of the Ancient Aramaic language. This is the language in which the disciples and the apostles preached the Gospel and the scribes recorded the Scriptures. The New Testament has been preserved in this sacred, scribal language since the Apostolic Age. The whole Bible was originated in this language. The New Testament Scriptures were already in use in the Ancient Aramaic language for five hundred years before Christianity became the religion of Europe. The first Christians in Europe were the Romans under Emperor Constantine. The Bible was not read by the Europeans in their vernacular until the Gutenberg Press was invented in 1440. The Reformation began after that, when the Protestants came up with their own Bibles and interpretations. The translation that you find on this website is made from the original Ancient Aramaic Scriptures directly into English, bypassing the errors of translation introduced in the Greek Original, the Latin Vulgate and all the Western translations made from them. The Disciples New Testament is the best translation of the authentic and original Scriptures that the Apostles compiled.

A Translation Note

The excellence of a translation should be judged by the perfect expression of the original words of Eashoa (Jesus) the Messiah. Therefore, in this translation, in order to preserve the full meaning of certain idioms, I used some less than formal wordings in the English language.

This is why this translation may seem somewhat archaic at times, because sometimes there were no equivalent expressions for those idioms of the original Scriptures.

However, I have added the literal wordings in the footnotes, so the reader may contemplate other forms of expressing the same words with different idioms, and in time it may be possible to find new expressions and idioms as the English language evolves.

The Disciples New Testament deals with how a human being lives and dies in this world and how nothing makes any sense in the end, all the pleasures, sorrows, struggles and triumphs; everyone who is born must die, except for the one who always was, always is and always will be. That one is only Jesus, who can reverse the process and return the human being to freedom and innocence.

The Book of Genesis is called "Breetah" in Aramaic, or "Creation" in English. This is a fresh translation into English from the original Ancient Aramaic original sources. There are commentaries and footnotes included. Click on the picture and order it.

The Book of Genesis deals with how a human being is born innocent and free, how he comes to terms with the world around him, how he fights for his rights, learns from his mistakes, becomes self-sufficient, relying on himself and not on God, and then how he becomes frustrated with everything and throws it all away and chooses to become a slave for the sake of a piece of bread and a place to live.

The Book of Exodus should have been called "Liberation," because that is what God did for the Israelites, He liberated them from slavery. Again, this Book has been translated from the Ancient Aramaic original sources. There are footnotes. Click on the picture and order it.

The Book of Exodus deals with how a human being, after he has lived as a slave for the sake of a piece of bread and a place to live, decides that slavery is intolerable and throws everything away and follows in the path of freedom, even if it means living in a wilderness for forty years, and then he learns the value of discipline and obedience to God.
