This page is our attempt to familiarize
readers with all versions of the Bible. If you are independent minded,
and you are willing to let the Holy Spirit give you the interpretation
of the Bible rather than human being, Literal translation is the way to
go!
You may say what does it matter if you read KJV or
NIV etc, but if you read the direct original Greek or Aramaic New
testament for example, you will find out that Miltha, translated in the
KJV as the "Word" could also mean "Manifestation", "Instance", or
"Substance" as it has no direct English equivalent.
Some may think that Jesus Christ as an earthly
manifestation or instance of God suite their purpose than the KJV
translation as the "Word"
Miltha is an Aramaic word and Aramaic is the
ancient language of the Semitic family group, which includes the
Assyrians, Babylonians, Chaldeans, Arameans, Hebrews, and Arabs. In
fact, a large part of the Hebrew and Arabic languages is borrowed from
Aramaic, including the
Alphabet. The modern Hebrew (square) script is called "Ashuri", "Ashuri"
is the Hebrew name for Assyrian, the name being used to signify the
ancestor of the Assyrians, Ashur the son of Shem, the son of Noah
(Genesis 10:22). Aramaic is quoted in the very first book of the Bible,
Berisheth (Genesis) in Chapter 31:47. In fact, many portions of the Old
Testament are penned originally in Aramaic, including Daniel chapter 2:4
thru chapter 7.
see Peshitta
My son, when you come to serve
the Lord,
prepare yourself for trials
Be sincere of heart and
steadfast,
undisturbed in time of adversity.
Cling to him, forsake him not;
thus will your future be great.
Accept whatever befalls you,
in crushing misfortune be patient;
For in fire gold is tested,
and worthy men in the crucible of humiliation.
Trust God and he will help you;
make straight your ways and hope in him.
You who fear the
Lord, wait for his mercy,
turn not away lest you fall.
You who fear the
Lord, trust him,
and your reward will not be lost.
You who fear the
Lord, hope for good things,
for lasting joy and mercy.
Study the generations long past and understand;
has anyone hoped in the Lord and been
disappointed?
Has anyone persevered in his fear and been
forsaken?
has anyone called upon him and been rebuffed?
Compassionate and merciful is the
Lord;
he forgives sins, he saves in time of trouble.
Woe to craven hearts and drooping hands,
to the sinner who treads a double path!
Woe to the faint of heart who trust not,
who therefore will have no shelter!
Woe to you who have lost hope!
what will you do at the visitation of the Lord?
Those who fear the
Lord disobey not his words;
those who love him keep his ways.
Those who fear the
Lord seek to please him,
those who love him are filled with his law.
Those who fear the
Lord prepare their hearts
and humble themselves before him.
Let us fall into the hands of the
Lord
and not into the hands of men,
For equal to his majesty
is the mercy that he shows.
For in fire gold is tested,
and worthy men in the crucible of humiliation.
Study the generations long past and understand;
has anyone hoped in the Lord and been
disappointed?
Has anyone persevered in his fear and been
forsaken?
has anyone called upon him and been rebuffed?
Those who fear the
Lord disobey not his words;
those who love him keep his ways.
Let us fall into the hands of the
Lord
and not into the hands of men,
For equal to his majesty
is the mercy that he shows..
