THE ARAMAIC JEWISH BIBLE
✡
Pshitta Tanakh in English

Translated from the Aramaic by Ya'aqub Younan-Levine,
With the Assistance of George M. Akbulut, Abraham Seif, and Michael Spira

Thus says MarYah: Stand in the ways and see; ask for the old
paths, and watch where the good path is and walk by it, and
you will find rest for your souls. (Ketava d'Eramya Nebya 6:16)

October 29, 2009 UPDATE... The translation was put on hold during our travels to the Middle East. God willing, the work is scheduled to begin once again the first week of November 2009. Thank you for your patience and all of your kind emails. - Ya'aqub Younan-Levine.

*The Jewish Aramaic Peshitta (Njp) mentions these books as being canonical and in most cases are given Hebrew names rather than Aramaic. The list corresponds to Codex Ambrosiano. Younan's manuscript contains the Hebrew Masoretic text with extensive lists of vocabulary, variants, and other valuable information for those researching Aramaic Peshitta manuscripts, and in particular Jewish Aramaic dialects. For more information on Judeo-Aramaic (a neo-Aramaic dialect) click here. To discuss this version, visit the translator's Tanakh/Targumim Forum.
