Bible New Testament George Lamsa Translation of the Peshitta PASCAS FOUNDATION (Aust) Ltd Em: [email protected] ABN 23 133 271 593 Em: [email protected] Pascas Foundation is a not for profit organisation Queensland, Australia www.pascasworldcare.com www.pascashealth.com 2 Lamsa Bible http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lamsa_Bible The Holy Bible from Ancient Eastern Manuscripts (commonly called the Lamsa Bible) was published by George M. Lamsa in 1933. It was derived, both Old and New Testaments, from the Syriac Peshitta, the Bible used by the Assyrian Church of the East and other Syriac Christian traditions. Lamsa, following the tradition of his church, claimed the originality of the Aramaic New Testament, against the academic mainstream opinion that the language of the New Testament was Greek, and thus claimed his translation was superior to texts based on later Greek manuscripts. Consequently, Lamsa claimed that the New Testament of his translation was based on older sources than other English Bibles, translated from Greek. The New Testament translators of the King James Version, for example, used an edition of Erasmus' Greek Textus Receptus. The Aramaic primacy of the New Testament text is considered by its proponents to be more accurate than the text used for the KJV of the Holy Bible. Dr George M. Lamsa (Syriac: ܐ ܓܪܓ) (August 5, 1892 – September 22, 1975) was an Assyrian author. He was born in Mar Bishu in what is now the extreme east of Turkey. A native Aramaic speaker, he translated the Aramaic Peshitta (literally "straight, simple") Old and New Testaments into English. Noohra Foundation: http://www.noohra.com/Index.pl?glamsabio Dr George M. Lamsa, Th.D., a native Assyrian, renowned scholar of the Scriptures, lecturer and author, F.R.S.A., was born August 5, 1892, in a civilization with customs, manners, and language almost identical to those in the time of Jesus. His native tongue was full of similar idioms and parables, untouched by the outside world in 1900. Until World War I, his people living in that part of ancient Biblical lands which today is known as Kurdistan, in the basin of the rivers Tigris and Euphrates, retained the simple nomadic life as in the days of the Patriarchs. Only at the beginning of the 20th century did this isolated segment of the once great Assyrian Empire learn of the discovery of America and the Reformation in Germany. Likewise, until that same time, this ancient culture of early Christians was unknown to the western world, and the Aramaic (Syriac) language was thought to be dead. But in this so-called "Cradle of Civilization," ancient Biblical customs and Semitic culture, cut off from the world, were preserved. Lamsa's primary training as a boy was to tend the lambs. But, as the first-born son in his family, while yet an infant he was dedicated to God by his devout mother. Years after her death, when Lamsa was 12, her vow was renewed by native tribesmen, an ox killed and its blood rubbed on his head. This vow to God, Lamsa claimed, had always been part of him. "God's Hand," he affirmed, "has been steadfastly on my shoulder, guiding me in His Work." 3 Lamsa's formal studies began under the priests and deacons of the ancient Church of the East. Later he graduated with the highest honours ever bestowed from the Archbishop of Canterbury's Colleges in Iran and in Turkey, with the degree of Bachelor of Arts. Lamsa never married, but dedicated his life to "God's Calling." At the beginning of World War I, when Turkey started invasions, Lamsa was forced to flee the Imperial University at Constantinople, where he was studying, and went to South America. Living was hard during those years; he knew but three words in Spanish – water, work and bread. As best he could he existed – in the British Merchant Marine for a time, then working on railroads, in mines, and later in printing shops, a trade he had learned in college. After arriving in the United States, in his early 20's, Lamsa by day worked as a printer, and by night went to school. He later studied at the Episcopal Theological Seminary in Alexandria, Virginia, and at Dropsie College in Philadelphia. It was through his struggles with the idioms of English, during these years, that Lamsa gradually launched into his "life's work" of translating the Scriptures from Aramaic into English. Yet many years were to pass before the world received his translations. First as a lecturer in churches and seminaries, in halls and auditoriums, before statesmen, theologians, groups of artists, actors and others, Lamsa received recognition as a poet-philosopher, and as an authority on all phases of Eastern civilization. It was his own inner compulsion and the urging of hundreds who heard him, that drove him forward, and brought about, after 30 years of labour, research and study, his translation of The Holy Bible from a branch of the ancient Aramaic language, used by Christians from earliest times. It is a known fact that Jesus and his followers spoke Aramaic. There were times when he was temporarily stopped in his translations, when the idioms in the manuscripts could not be given correct English meaning. Lamsa related, "Often I would lie on the bed with the script before my eyes (he had a photographic memory which retained chapter after chapter of Biblical passages), and suddenly the translation would come, the English words would fall into place. I discovered that the words in the Bible contain power, that they are charged with the Holy Spirit. Everything comes and passes away, but God's Truth endures forever." It was Lamsa's firm belief that his translation would bring people nearer to the true Word of God, and would facilitate understanding between East and West. The last 10 years of his life, Dr George M. Lamsa tutored and prepared Dr Rocco A. Errico to continue with the Aramaic work. He died on September 22, 1975 in Turlock, California where he is interred. 4 FORWARD: Dr George Lamsa’s presentation of the New Testament, particularly Matthew’s Book, is considered through kinesiology muscle testing investigations by Dr David R Hawkins, is the most reliable representation of the teachings by Jesus of Nazareth as originally recorded. Matthew had taken notes in some form, whereas much of the other writings are recollections written long after the events. As of all these ancient records, they are copies of copies, of copies, with the imposition of scribes having inserted their own interpretations. Then we have the issue of translation from one language to another. Then the politics of those involved are imposed upon the objectives for which further copying and translation unfolds. The Nicaean Council of AD 325 was one such political event. The First Council of Nicaea was a council of Christian bishops convened in the Bithynian city of Nicaea by the Roman Emperor Constantine I in AD 325. This ecumenical council was the first effort to attain consensus in the church through an assembly representing all Christendom. What follows is potentially the most reliable set of writings on these subjects possible. We have the comments of Lamsa’s work. The James Padgett’s Messages are publications directly from the 19,000 pages of hand written writings of his that are now in safe storage, in water and acid proof sleeves in fire resistant cabinets in USA. With these are Dr Daniel Samuels’ writings. The balance of reference material is direct from those who are accredited with them. There are no changes to their original materials. Similarly for The Urantia Book references. What has not been understood is that Jesus of Nazareth and Mary of Magdalene came to Earth not to be noticed! Neither left any records of their teachings. Neither had any children. Neither left their bodies in tact – Jesus dissolved his body in his burial chamber and Mary’s body was cremated in Egypt. Their lives on Earth were necessary for them to achieve full co-regency of our local universe of Nebadon. This enabled for the System Sovereign of Satania to then be arrested and he with his soul partner now reside in a spirit world prison. Mary and Jesus’s presence on Earth brought about the availability of Divine Love for all of the humanities of their local universe of Nebadon – all 3,840,101 humanities – Earth is one! Lucifer’s arrest is a major step in the ending of the Rebellion and Default. Jesus opened the Divine Love healing Mansion Worlds, 3, 5 and 7. Jesus also opened the Celestial Heaven spheres, 1, 2 and 3. As people from Earth healed themselves of what they had taken on of the Rebellion and Default, they have progressed in numbers sufficiently now to administer Earth’s humanity from within the Celestial Heavens. This administration is a first for all of the humanities. What is to be widely recorded and published is the bestowal of the Avonal Pair now on Earth, like Jesus and Mary, being from Paradise. As the Avonals had progressed with their mission, the rebelling Caligastia and Daligastia high level spirits have also been spirit world imprisoned – early 1990s. The world is now to be introduced as to how to heal themselves of their Rebellion and Default. On 22 March 2017, interference by mind Mansion World spirits has been blocked by higher level Celestial Spirits. On 31 January 2018 the Rebellion and Default of Earth was formally ended. Prior to these events, spirit writings had to conform to the restrictions of the Universal Contract governing the Rebellion and Default – that is why the Padgett Messages and The Urantia Book only reference the male.

  • The Life of GEORGE M. LAMSA Translator
    THE HOLY BIBLE As translated by Dr. George M. Lamsa This outstanding work is a direct translation from the Peshitta, which is the ancient biblical manuscript written in Aramaic. This was the translator's native language and the language spoken by Jesus and His disciples. Twenty-five years were required to complete this translation. The Four Gospels were com­ pleted first and published in 1933, followed by the New Testament in 1940 and finally the entire Bible in 1957. Translating from the ancient Aramaic manuscript directly into modern English enabled the author to rectify many distortions of meaning occurring in the King James text. Since the phraseology of one language is frequently not duplicated in another errors in trans­ lation occur. The King James version came through a series of four languages, Aramaic to Greek, Greek to Latin, and Latin to English. During this transition these languages themselves changed. Modern Greek is nothing like third century Greek. Modern English is nothing like the thirteenth century English of Wycliffe. Latin is a dead language. The fact that there are not more errors in the King James version is a testimony to the dedication and inspiration of the many scholars responsible through the centuries for the evolution of this text. ■\* * y*. The Lamsa translation of the Holy Bible and other books py Dr. Lamsa described on the inside back cover are available in many libraries, the larger book stores or may be purchased from the Aramaic Bible Society.

  • Do the 66 Books Really Measure Up?
    do the 66 books really measure up? Most Christian articles of faith assert that the 66 books of the Bible represent the Word of GOD1, at least in the original versions. I do not agree. I have found the number of Authoritative books - those with a perfect alignment befitting of GOD - to be fewer. Ancient scribes and modern translators are not the topic. The fact is that GOD the FATHER is Perfect, and HIS Word is Perfect. We are dangerously wrong to be ascribing to HIS Perfection or that of YESU (JESUS) or the HOLY SPIRIT anything that is demonstrably not perfect. Among the 66 books are original inconsistencies that prevent me from describing the collection as HIS Word. GOD does not make erroneous statements. GOD does not contradict HIMSELF. My answer is “No, not all of the 66 books measure up to HIS standard of Perfection - there is subtracting to be done.” I hope this study will help you see more clearly the difference between what FATHER really said and doctrines that are founded upon lesser writings. Dare we insult GOD by following human traditions? Men have elevated imperfect writings as HIS Word! A tradition from 1546 adds still more books as sacred with anyone opposing them declared anathema (accursed)!2 The doctrines of men unsurprisingly conflict with one another today. I do not expect the problems I make note of here to disturb your faith in GOD but only what part of your faith you’ve unduly placed in men and their traditions. My hope is that you will rely upon the HOLY SPIRIT, our TEACHER, and walk away from soiled doctrines of men who would not listen to HIM.

  • Foreword the Syriac New Testament by George A. Kiraz
    Foreword The Syriac New Testament By George A. Kiraz Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute Within the first six centuries of the Christian Era, the Syriac Church Fa- thers produced no less than six versions of the New Testament in their mother tongue, Syriac, an Aramaic dialect akin to the Aramaic spoken by Jesus Christ and His Disciples. Three revisions that have come down to us, in one form or another, preceded the Peshitto, while at least two oth- ers appeared after it. Yet, it was the Peshitto that won over all its rivals and held itself as the unchallenged 'official' translation amongst the various Syriac-speaking Churches till this day. The name 'Peshitto,' which means 'simple', only appears in the ninth century. It was used to differentiate this particular version from later ver- sions that were not as 'simple' from an idiomatic point of view as will we shall shortly see. C3 SO The Peshitto New Testament is the result of a long process of New Testament translation activities in the Syriac-speaking world. These activi- ties were the labors of many people over a period of three centuries or so. While the earliest form of the New Testament that was in use in the early Syriac Church is under much debate, the earliest form that we are certain of is the Diatessaron, a harmony of the four Gospels woven into one story. The author of the Diatessaron is Tatian, a native Syriac speaker, who compiled his work around A.D. 170. The original language of the work is still under much debate with some scholars favoring Syriac, others opting for Greek.

  • The Light from the East-Interview-Pop Gak
    Studia Humana Volume 2:3 (2013), pp. 53—55 The Light from the East George Kiraz was born in Bethlehem to a Syriac Orthodox merchants family. He learned Syriac at the St. Mary’s Church in Bethlehem and St. Mark's Monastery in Jerusalem. In 1983 he emigrated with his family to the United States. He obtained a master’s degree in Syriac Studies from the University of Oxford under Dr. Sebastian Brock and a doctorate in Computational Linguistics from the University of Cambridge. He came back to the US in 1996 where he worked as a research scientist at Bell Laboratories, Lucent Technologies. He founded in 1992 Beth Mardutho: The Syriac Institute (formerly The Syriac Computing Institute). In 2001 he founded Gorgias Press, an academic publisher of books and journals covering a range of religious and language studies that include Syriac language, Eastern Christianity, Ancient Near East, Arabic and Islam, Early Christianity, Judaism, and more. He is the author of many works on Syriac studies including a six-volume Concordance to the Syriac New Testament (1993), a four-volume Comparative Edition of the Syriac Gospels (1996), etc. Andrew Schumann: You are one of the best experts in Syriac studies. In many respects these studies are connected with Eastern Christianity. What could these studies give Christianity at all taking into account the fact that Greek is considered the original language of Christianity? George Kiraz: Sebastian Brock of Oxford always talks about the three ‘linguistic’ pillars upon which Christianity is founded: The Latin West and the Greek East are the best known, but he then emphasizes the Syriac Orient, especially in its non-Hellenized form of Christianity.

The first time it had occurred, David had just delivered Keilah from the Philistines, and the Ziphites went to Saul and said, “Is David not hiding himself near us Iin the strongholds at Horesh, on the hill of Hachilah, which is south of Jeshimon?” (1Sam. 23:19). The second time that the Ziphites went to Saul, they said, “Isn’t David hiding on the hill of Hachilah, facing Jeshimon?” (1Sam. 26:1). In the introduction to this psalm, we have the same verb and preposition as we find in 1Sam. 23; therefore, we will reasonably assume that David wrote this psalm about the same time that the Ziphites told Saul where he was (obviously, David would have found out about their betrayal at a later date. I suspect that David wrote this when Saul came after him, and later, when he found out that it was the Ziphites who betrayed him, added this information to the inscription.
