Aramaic OT
The Assyrian Aramaic people have lived in Eurasia for thousands of years, and their Christian heritage stretches back to the time of the New Testament. Today, many of the estimated one million speakers still live in their ancient homelands. But persecution and economic and political pressures have scattered many others to various countries around the world, including the United States.
The Bible was translated for the Aramaic-speaking people in the early centuries after Christ, but the language has changed significantly since that time. For several centuries, the Aramaic language communities have been without God’s Word in a readable written form, though many people still revere the historical translation as the symbol of their identity. However, the Assyrian Aramaic New Testament was published in 2002, and translators are working on the Old Testament today.
