Hello,
I am a Bible translator, and have been working on a new Translation for the Book of Matthew.
This Translation uses genuine Manuscripts from 3 ancient languages: Aramaic, Greek, Latin.
It has taken me 7 years to develop a technique that employs efficient electronic indexing.
I would love to hear your feedback, both positive & negative.
So far I have done CHAP 1-2.
I have no plans on doing the OT, just the book of Matthew, and maybe the General Epistles.
-Godspeed.
CHAP 1
1 This is the family tree of the MESSIAH JESUS, the son of David, the son of Abraham.
2 ¶ Abraham fathered Isaac. {Gen. 21:2}
And Isaac fathered Jacob. {Gen. 25:26}
And Jacob fathered Judah & his brothers. {Gen. 29:35}
3 And Judah fathered Perez & Zérach from Tamara. {Gen. 38:29}
And Perez fathered Hezron. {Gen. 46:12}
And Hezron fathered Ram. {1 Chron. 2:9}
4 And Ram fathered Amminadab. {1 Chron 2:10}
And Amminadab fathered Nahshon. {Ruth 4:20}
And Nahshon fathered Salmah. {Luke 3:32}
5 And Salmah fathered Boaz from Racháv. {Ruth 4:21}
And Boaz fathered Ovéd from Ruth. {1 Chron 2:12}
And Ovéd fathered Yishái. {Luke 3:32}
6 And Yishái fathered David the King. {1 Sam 17:12}
And King David fathered Solomon from Bathsheba, which was the wife of Uriah. {1 Chron 3:5}
7 ¶ And Solomon fathered Rehav'am. {1 Kings 11:43}
And Rehav'am fathered Abijah. {1 Kings 14:31}
And Abijah fathered Assa. {1 Chron 3:10}
8 And Assa fathered Yehoshafat. {1 Kings 15:24}
And Yehoshafat fathered Jehoram. {1 Chron 3:11}
And Jehoram descended Uzziyah. {2 Chron 26:1}
9 And Uzziyah fathered Yotam. {2 Chron 26:21}
And Yotam fathered Ahaz. {2 Kings 16:1}
And Ahaz fathered Hezekiah. {2 Chron 28:27}
10 And Hezekiah fathered Manasseh. {2 Kings 20:21}
And Manasseh fathered Amon. {2 Chron 33:20}
And Amon fathered Josiah. {2 Kings 21:26}
11 And Josiah descended Jeconiah & his brothers, about the time they were under the captivity of Babylon. {Jer 27:20}
12 Then after their alienation in Babylon:
Jeconiah fathered She'alti'el. {1 Chron 3:17}
¶ And She'alti'el fathered Zerubbabel. {Neh 12:1}
13 And Zerubbabel descended Abihud. {Hag 1:1}
And Abihud descended Eliakim.
And Eliakim descended Azor.
14 And Azor descended Zadok.
And Zadok descended JoAchim.
And JoAchim descended Elihud.
15 And Elihud descended El'azár.
And El'azár descended Matthan.
And Matthan fathered Jacob. {Luke 3:24}
16 And Jacob fathered Joseph the guardian of Mary, which gave birth to JESUS, whom is entitled the Messiah. {John 6:42}
17 Thus all the generations, from Abraham to David, were fourteen generations. And from David until they were captured into Babylon, fourteen generations. And after they were held captive in Babylon unto CHRIST, are fourteen generations.
18 Now the genesis of CHRIST JESUS begins like this: After the betrothment of his mother Mary with Joseph, before either of them could have met, she was found to be carrying in the womb, from the sacred SPIRIT.
19 But because her fiancé, Joseph, was kindhearted & loathed to shame her in public, he preferred to have her disowned in a private manner.
20 But as he slept on these thoughts, behold! the Angel of our Lord appeared unto him in a dream, saying: Joseph, thou son of David, do not dread to receive Mary as your bride; in truth the one who grows in her, is from the sacred SPIRIT.
21 And she shall labor & deliver a son, and thou wilt call his name JESUS, since he shall save his citizens from their flaws.
22 Now, all this came to fruition, to complete what was spoken through the Prophet by the LORD, foretelling:
23 Behold! A Virgin shall bear in the womb & bring forth a son; and they will call his name IMMANUEL (which being translated, is: The GOD among us).
24 And when Joseph awoke out of bed, he did as the Angel of our Lord had bidden him, and accepted Mary as his wife.
25 But he acquainted among her not, till she had brought forth her firstborn son; and she gave him the name JESUS. {Luke 1:31}
CHAP 2
1 Now when JESUS was born in Bethlehem of Judæa in the days of King Herod the great, behold! Godfathers from the Orient arrived in Jerusalem,
2 saying: Where is the King of the Jews who has been born? For we observed his Star in the East, and are come to kneel down before him.
3 And in hearing these things, Herod the King was shocked, and the whole of Jerusalem with him.
4 And congregating all Archpriests & Scribes of the public, he demanded from them where CHRIST should be born.
5 And so they said unto him: In Bethlehem of Judæa; for thus it is written in the Prophecy:
6 Even thou O Bethlehem, in the Kingdom of Judah, art in no wise the weakest amongst the Clans of Judah; for out of thee shall come forth the Monarch, who shall govern Israel, my people.
7 Then Herod, had the Godfathers summoned in secrecy, and he ascertained from them the date of the Star's phenomenon.
8 And sending them into Bethlehem, he said: Go thither & investigate the exact whereabouts of the infant; and when ye have found him, send me an errand, so that I may come & pay homage to him as well.
9 And so, having listened to the King, they journeyed onwards; and lo! the Star, which they had seen in the East, it was moving in front of them so that it approached, and stood above the dwelling where the infant was.
10 And after observing the Star, they cheered merrily very loud.
11 And when they were entered into the adobe, they beheld the infant with Mary his mother, and bowing down low, they adored him. And uncovering their hidden treasures, they bestowed unto him gifts; pure gold, bitterest myrrh, and white incense.
12 And whilst sleeping, the Godfathers received a dream warning them that they should not reply to Herod; so they left, returning to their homeland along a different route.
13 And after their departure, behold! an Angel of our Lord appeareth to Joseph in a dream, saying: Awakening, take the infant, and his mother, and runaway into Ægypt, and live there until I bring thee word! For the future holds that Herod will seek the infant to assassinate him.
14 Then rising up in the night, he took the infant & his mother, and fled for Ægypt;
15 and they remained there unto the time of Herod's death; this event fulfilled what was spoken through the Prophet from the LORD, saying: I have called my Son out of Ægypt.
16 Then Herod, perceiving that the Godfathers had misled him, went manically irate, and he commanded to have every infant boy living in Bethlehem, and in all the neighboring settlements, massacred, from two years of age & under; according to the date, which he had forsought from the Godfathers.
17 These things fulfilled what was spoken through the Prophet Jeremiah, saying:
18 In the highlands a voice is heard crying out lamentations, and great mourning; Rachel bewails her sons, and is unwilling to be soothed, for they are nought.
19 Nevertheless as Herod died, behold! an Angel of our Lord appeareth in Ægypt to Joseph whiles he dreamt,
20 saying: Waking up, take the boy, and his mother, and travel into the country of Israel! Indeed death has come to those who warranted the child's life.
21 So when Joseph awoke, he brought the boy & his mother, and entered into the region of Israel.
22 However, after hearing that Archelaus ruled as Duke of Judæa, succeeding Herod his father, he feared to go further; notwithstanding, being admonished in a dream, he turned aside into the estates of Galilee.
23 So having arrived, he resided in a village named Nazareth; in fulfillment of what was said by the Prophets: That he shall be dubbed, Of Nazareth. {Joh. 19:19}
